“Unity is strength”—a phrase that embodies its meaning in every sense. Allow me to add the words of Jesus Christ on the matter of unity, where He said:
“Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.” (Matthew 12:25)
This is clear evidence from Christ Himself about the destructive outcomes of division, fragmentation, and factionalism. Wherever these issues exist, agreement is absent, and we all understand what happens in the absence of agreement.
We cannot build our great nation, South Sudan, while we remain divided, disconnected, and disunited—while we lack acceptance, love, and a shared vision. We must seek common ground as one people and one great nation.
Failures in all aspects of life are often rooted in division and fragmentation, both of which lead to the same outcome: instability, weakness, lack of prosperity, and stagnation in various fields.
Therefore, let us take the first step toward reform. That step is to embrace constructive dialogue and strive for a clear and unified vision—one that views building South Sudan as a shared responsibility. In light of this, our efforts must be combined to bring about reform and to eliminate all the unhelpful and negative ideologies that fuel division and tribalism.
Let us keep pace with the progress of other nations, for division and tribalism represent a low intellectual state that yields no fruitful results. This is evident in the examples around us: no place filled with factionalism or divisions enjoys peace and stability.
The Soviet Union was powerful when it was united, but it collapsed when it divided. Similarly, we can ask ourselves: why is the United States united? It could have been fragmented, yet it remains “united states” because they understand—and know well—that unity is strength.
Those who call for unity desire strength, and why is strength important? Because in this life, survival is always for the strong, and there is no place for the weak.
So, let us unite.
This is my voice—the voice of love, the voice of reform.
