A touching photo of a child named #Wani, who lives with a physical disability, has gone viral on social media as he celebrated South Sudan’s 14th Independence Day in his own heartfelt way.
In the image, the boy is seen sitting in a worn-out wheelchair, proudly waving the national flag and moving around a square near his home. His face radiates joy and pride—clear signs of his deep connection to his young nation.
The photo was captured by social media activist Nadir Baku and shared on his Facebook page, where it received wide engagement. Many users described the image as a pure and powerful symbol of patriotism and a reminder that true love for one’s country knows no limits or physical barriers.
This powerful moment stands as a lesson in genuine national pride and a clear message to leaders and officials: despite disappointments and hardships, the people of South Sudan still carry a sincere love for their blessed land.
