JUBA – African People’s Congress (APC), a youth-led political party, on Friday called on the citizens to come out in large numbers next week to protest the extension of the government mandate by two years.
This came after the country’s leadership on Thursday extended their stay in power for another 24 months in a bid to complete the political, security, and electoral reforms needed to move the country forward.
The 24-month extension begins in February 2023 and ends in February 2025.
A youth-led political party said they plan to stage an anti-extension protest nationwide on 8th August 2022.
The organizers have not released details on the times but called on the protestors to gather at freedom squares of each state.
Deng-bill William, Chairman of the African People’s Congress (APC), called for nationwide protests on 9 August to force the government to step down, citing “failed leadership.”
“African People’s Congress, calling upon South Sudanese where ever they are to come out in large numbers on Monday, 8th Aug. 2022 to protest the arbitrary extension of R-TGoNU mandate,” William told Sudans Post in an interview on Friday.
William called on Social Media Criminals, Red Card Movement and People’s Coalition for Civil Action to join hands with African People’s Congress to stage an anti-government protest next week.
“We demanding the resignation of Revitalized Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) and the subsequent establishment of the government of technocrats that shall prepare our country for a democratic, free, and fair elections,” William said.
The outspoken youth leader directed his followers at state branches to turn up in big numbers on D-Day.
“We would like to instruct our state branches to organize themselves over the weekend and get people to the streets to freedoms squares in ten states so that we can stage sit-in and demand for resignation of R-TGoNU.”
“We equally call upon the national army, national police service, and national security service to stay away from the political process and stand with the people throughout the process as their role is to protect people’s will, lives, and properties as well law and order.”
Jacob Thon Dhiei, Interim Secretary General vowed to continue piling on pressure until the entire government is ousted.
“In Algeria when the Bouteflika was ousted out by university students, it was sort of misunderstanding of trying to extend term limit and when you come to Egypt, it was sort of misunderstanding that ousted Morsi and his successor and when you come to Sudan, it was just an issue of bread that ousted Omar al-Bashir,” said Thon.
“South Sudanese are there dying in their own houses due to hunger, this is enough and we want South Sudanese to decide their fate right now,” Thon added.
Who will unify Sudanese nations and factions again?
Pastor John Hagee said “you cannot negotiate with the lion when your hand is in its mouth” that is the condition of SPLM internal IO . And a Jewish priest Caiaphas said in John 11:50 “it is better for one man to die on behalf of the nation to save the nation than to lose the whole nation” paraphrased John 18:14 says the same. South Sudan lost 500’000 since 2011 to this day still loses people because of bad leadership. Sudan lost more than 800.000 since 2011 even today. Will South Sudanese allow the same people to lead them for two years and loose 200’000 again? Paul Bermer is needed in the Sudan to rescue the dying Sudanese in both nations. Read the CPA book “we are not an island in the Sudan” page 99 and 100. From 1983-2005 Sudan had 18 factions with 18 presidents they are Janjweed liberation front, Marahalen liberation front, 3 Darfur liberation fronts, Nuba front, Southern Blue Nile front, Eastern Sudan or free lion movement, Abdalla Chol front, Paulino Matip, Gabreial Tanginya fronts, Equatoria Defense forces, Didinga front by Peter lorot, Abdala Lomingi of Toposa, Murle Liberation front under Ismael Konyi, William Nyon liberation front, Kerebino Liberation front, Communist party of Sudan, Muslim brothers, NCP, SPLM and SPLM united, SPDF, SPDM, SIM, SIA, Mundari liberation front under Clement Wani, Abeye liberation front.
But Christians all over the world were praying for God to do something, hence God used pastor karlo to frame “we are not an island in the Sudan” invited more than 55 nations or diplomats to Nairobi within three years CPA was born. All of these 18 factions came to be two in 2005 NCP and SPLM.
From 2011 to this day August 5/2022 the same factions multiplied again Shilluk have three factions of Johnson, Pagan, Lam, Nuer have 5, Akobo Liberation front SPLM IO 3, Bentiu liberation front, Leer liberation front, Pochala liberation front, Pibor liberation front, Ruwang liberation front, Abeye liberation front, KItgwang liberation front or SPLM IO 2 Nuba liberation front, 4 Darfur liberation fronts, Beja liberation front, Dongola Liberation front, SPLM IG juba front, SPLM IG Cirilo front, SPLM IG Malong front.
Last month July 9, some of our people in Omaha Nebraska asked me if I can unify these 18 factions again. I told them I am tired and frustrated; I cannot do it again? Even God the maker of our babies fed up of such disobedient children who do not want the Ten commandments which is the bases of Constitution. Read Exodus chapter 20. A nation without the Ten commandment is lawless, no constitution. Many of us are forced to exile against our will. South Sudanese remain slaves or forced labor in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia building developed countries instead of our back ward country. And many journalists’ judges have been killed inside our home.
God told us pastors as he did to prophets in Old Testament to guide the national leaders and watch his children /citizens and care for them. Read Ezekiel 33 and 34. We are mandated by God to warn the national leaders who kill, starve people to death, soldiers, police, prison warders, MPs, doctors, teachers, famers, wild life, fishery could not get their salaries to feed their families for the last 12 months, moving with empty stomachs. Did God not give us fertile lands with anything for us to earn a living? How can we be silent when our sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, children go without their basic daily needs?
Youth-led movement group are crying within their Godly given lands for their dying mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, wives, husbands.

First of all I would really want to thank William and Thon so much for the creation and launching of the APC which has really very realistic and legitimate objectives in Africa as a whole and in South Sudan in particular. South Sudanese have no a chance to say no for street protest against the R-TGoNU because we are dying everyday
at least 10-100 innocent lives from within the boundaries of our country as result of this government’s poor leadership system. Its better we die in a day and change everything than dying everyday silently without any piece of positive change. I say we all go for the peaceful protest with one heart of humanity and turn this war situation into heaven. I am Emmanuel Wani at Arua in Uganda. I wish the south Sudanese population here get informed about the protest and join the struggle. Once again thanks a bunch to the APC able leaders William, Thon and many more. Long live your kindness, long live South Sudanese
