Take away war, take away the internal conflict that has been so synonymous with the youngest nation in the world; take away corruption, tribalism and the battle for supremacy among the leaders and what remains is a country with greatest prospects for development; a country with great prospects for growth.

 Take away war, take away the internal conflict that has been so synonymous with the youngest nation in the world; take away corruption, tribalism and the battle for supremacy among the leaders and what remains is a country with greatest prospects for development; a country with great prospects for growth.

 South Sudan is a country endowed with numerous natural resources from River Nile which is the longest river in Africa and whose many tributaries have sources in the country to mineral resources which includes petroleum, iron ore, copper, gold and diamond among the known; from the natural equatorial forest with the famous tick tree to gum Arabic, the country has what it takes in terms of resources to build an economy that would be the envy of many.

 South Sudan is positioned at the quarter of Africa; the umbilical cord of Africa falls in South Sudan and the sun passes overhead. Not every country has that privilege, some people only see the sun from a far. The country share the two beautiful climates; the tropical and equatorial meaning South Sudan has plenty of sun and plenty of rainfall especially in the West and East Equatoria Regions.

Inhabited by 64 ethnic communities who are unique in their own ways and endowed with

different talents and cultural trends the  south Sudanese people are warm, friendly and welcoming; besides it is the  country with the highest Christian  population in Africa.

When it comes to agriculture, South  Sudan is the land of livestock especially  cattle belonging to the Sanga cattle  group of African breeds famous for their  long horns. Besides, the land is also good for other agricultural production such as coffee, mangoes and all other types of tropical fruit trees as well as tree that produce natural oil. With River Nile and its many tributaries, the country has a huge fish reserve.

It is undisputable that the country is well endowed and given a chance can do well in all sectors. A chance for peace to prevail, a chance for good leadership, a chance for zero corruption and the people of South Sudan will live in paradise.
