South Sudan is Strategic to the U.S.

South Sudan is Strategic to the U.S.
Open Letter to the President of the United States

  • South Sudan, the land of my birth, is not only the world's newest nation, but also the only country in Africa that is currently blocking Islamic extremism from flooding southward to overtake the entire continent.
  • Without US engagement, there would be no South Sudan today, and without its leadership again, and yours, Mr. President, there may not be a South Sudan in the near future.

Dear President Donald J. Trump,
As a former Sudanese slave, human rights activist, and American citizen deeply grateful for your public stand against all forms of public violence, I humbly ask that you allow me to provide some counsel on the grave situation in South Sudan, the land of my birth. It is not only the world's newest nation, but also the only country in Africa that is currently blocking Islamic extremism from flooding southward to overtake the entire continent. I hope that we will be able to meet in person to discuss the ongoing war and humanitarian disaster there.
