New Year 2026 Message
"So, as we say goodbye to 2025 and welcome another year into existence, 2026, my wish is that each one of you good people has a really good one. The NPA... would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas full of family joy... and a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR filled with fresh strength, unity and bounty."
"We sure have come a long way... Since the successful liberation struggle in 2011 and through the subsequent years of painful conflict... our journey has been punctuated by resilience, sacrifice, and a single-minded determination. Despite the difficulties... today we have emerged as a nation which went beyond and managed to exist."
"Let 2026 land as the year we pursue unity and not division, peace and not conflict, hope over fear. Together, we can create a South Sudan where every citizen... feels proud, safe and emboldened."
