This criminalization of activism is not about national security—it’s about ethnic suppression. The state uses surveillance, detention, torture, and even assassination to silence Nuer voices.
We must ask: why are so many Nuer activists forced into exile? Why are their organizations banned or defunded? Why are peaceful protests in Nuer areas met with gunfire?
South Sudan must stop treating Nuer activism as a threat. It is a sign of democratic health when citizens speak up. Silencing them only accelerates the collapse of the state.
To the Nuer youth: your voice is your weapon. To the global community: your silence is betrayal. Demand that South Sudan respect human rights—not just in words, but in action.
