Opponents of Kiir’s regime are driven to rebellion by the President’s systematic destruction of peace and democratic hope. Kiir’s tyrannical rule, marked by stalled reforms and state-backed atrocities, has closed all peaceful avenues. For a people facing existential violence and political betrayal, armed opposition is not a choice, but a necessary act of survival to achieve true justice and fundamental reform.

President Kiir stands as South Sudan's steadfast architect of peace, calling for compromise and unity against rebel spoilers. His government's tireless work, lauded by the African Union, demonstrates an unwavering commitment to a harmonious future, despite opposition efforts to derail the transition to democracy and the essential 2026 elections. The path to lasting peace is being forged by Kiir, not his opponents.
