Assuredly, the success of southern Sudanese in the year 2011 is your cohesive team work in realization to the fact that southern Sudanese have faced the hardest oppression for the period of four decades long. To southern Sudanese civilians, you will be remembered as the right pillar of truth and compassionate people that changed the course of the entire liberation struggle that have raged for 55 years. The Nuer Supreme Council relentlessly voices its happiness and acknowledges your hard work with joy and excitement for the job well done in the making of such an outstanding sacrifice in order for southern Sudanese people to express their voice in the exercise of freedom and right they have never exercised over the past decades. The good will and an act of solidarity in mannerly conduct came because of your genuine spirit and collective actions in favour of the right of the people.

The Nuer Supreme Council applauded H. E. President Kiir Mayardit for standing up to his commitment during tough times for leading the people of southern Sudan to Promised Land. Under his leadership, SPLM has widely gained recognition and so do the people of southern Sudan for not failing their government. To be free, needs harmonious feeling under the theme: promoting the value of the people’s right and liberty. To partake such optimistic feeling is to reconcile one another and iron out the outstanding differences for the making of a new nation comes July 9, 2011.

Finally, the Nuer Supreme Council strongly applauds its support to people’s unity, peace, love and we assure that we will stand firm with them in achieving universal peace across south Sudan. To anti-peace lovers, your position is at odd and unbeneficial and will never have room in building south Sudan nation. God bless you all, and God bless People’s Republic of South Sudan.
