Here on this blog, I intent to raise awareness and consciousness of Liberty, Equality and Solidarity in South Sudan, among South Sudanese and beyond. These rights, liberty and equality, and the bonds between humans, solidarity, are very important in human prosperity everywhere on the earth. In almost every country's constitution, two or more of these words are the preamble of the constitution. The preamble is the principles on which a constitution is based up on. As it is vital for every democratic country to adopt these rights as its guiding principles, which the rule of law is drawn from, it is necessary for us South Sudanese and our awaiting country, the Southern Sudan to be built on these doctrines. As I said earlier that almost every country's constitution has rights such as liberty, equality, and human bonds such as, solidarity and so on in its preamble, indeed, South Sudan's interim Constitution has all of these in its main principles, the preamble. The second and third introductory statements of South Sudan interim constitution state that, " We, the people of South Sudan, [recalling] our long and heroic struggle for justice, freedom, equality and dignity in the Sudan", are "Determined to lay the foundation for a united, peaceful and prosperous society based on justice, equality, respect for human rights and the rule of law." Our constitution, South Sudan interim constitution has all that I mentioned here to be the main aims of the blog, building of South Sudan based on democratic principles namely liberty, equality and solidarity, and raising awareness of the importance of these principles among South Sudanese. In the constitution, the former is literally stated in different words but synonymous words. Liberty is different from freedom but means the same thing as freedom. Dignity means human values, which is closely related to links between human beings and values humans place in one another. Hence, all I intent to advocate for are already contained in the rule book of South Sudan. So, if these are already written into a law, why I am still lobbying for an achieved deal? Even if these were not taken into consideration, how would just one person who isn't even close to a level of a lawmaker bring these critical issues into attention of the public and cause the changes? These are some of the questions that might cross the minds of people who visit this blog. Stay tune to answers to these questions.
