JOURNEY


For 20 years, Africa's largest country was decimated by civil war. The war consisted of North Sudan vs. South, Arab against Black, Muslim against Christian, tribe vs. tribe, and a violent struggle for power and oil. By 2011, the war had left 2 million dead and 5 million displaced/at risk.

In January 2011, South Sudan voted to secede from the corrupt and demonstrative hand of the North, becoming the Republic of South Sudan. It was an exciting time for South Sudan, filled with hope for change. However, change didn't last long as the new leaders of the South allowed greed to replace all honorable intentions.

Currently, North Sudan, led by President Omar-al-Bashir, is experiencing a revolution. The citizens have endured 30 years of corruption, money laundering, nepotism, and violent Islamic rule. The people are fighting for secularism. Since 2011, South Sudan has faltered under the leadership of President Salva Kiir and the SPLM elites. Salva Kiir has led a deceitful agenda benefitting himself and forgetting the justice, liberty and the needs of the people. Because of his irresponsible actions, he has isolated South Sudan from U.N., U.S., and other foreign aid that could greatly improve investment opportunities and prosperity in the land.


North Sudan is rich in factories and South Sudan is rich in oil. The South produces half a million barrels of oil A DAY! ALL THAT MONEY literally disappears into the current corrupt government system. The people are left with no roads, no schools, no hospitals, no economic structure. To make matters even more challenging, the people of South Sudan remain divided by tribes: Dinka, Bari, Nuer, Zande. . . Each tribe speaks a different language. One of the foundational efforts of CCSS is to gather and unify the tribes of South Sudan. We need each other. United we can build a brighter, safer, healthier South Sudan for our families/children. 

The government of South Sudan has complete control over the television/news/media using them purely for propaganda. CCSS advocates for freedom of expression without intimidation.

South Sudan is a land of immense potential. With rich resources in oil, agriculture, mining, forestry, wildlife, fishery and possible tourism, CCSS advocates for the change necessary to make South Sudan GREAT.
