Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Senior Presidential Advisor has said the only way to honor the heroes who died during the liberation struggle is through hard work and building a viable economy for the country.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Gen. Kuol Manyang Juk, who is a war veteran, made the statements ahead of the commemoration of the SPLA Day on the 16th.<\/p>\n

Manyang challenges the people of South Sudan to be creative and productive if they are not to lose their country\u2019s wealth to foreigners.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Eye Radio over the weekend, Manyang appealed to citizens to embrace hard work and become self-reliant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe able people should also produce rather than sitting under the trees the whole day looking for the government to employ them,\u201d Kuol told Eye Radio.\u201cThere is no country where a government employs everybody in the world. Education doesn\u2019t mean when someone is educated, is a University graduate then he has to be, must be employed by the government,<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can create their own business because education builds the mental capacity of a person to think and resolve whatever situation that is there and find themselves how to make a living,<\/p>\n

\u201cI challenge our people, let us not allow others to come and take up businesses in our country. They came because there are gaps that were not filled,<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us encourage our people to be self-reliant. That is how we enjoy our country and this is how we honor our people who died during the struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday, South Sudan will mark the 39th anniversary of the founding of the SPLA\/SPLM.Both wings of the movement emerged in May 1983, following a wave of mutinies in the barracks of the Sudanese army in the southern regions, most notably in Bor, Ayod, Pochalla, Wangkai, and Pibor.<\/p>\n

The mutinies were commanded by Major Kerubino Kuanyin Bol and Major William Nyuon Bany.<\/p>\n

On May 16th, 1983, the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Army was founded, with the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement as its political wing.<\/p>\n

The SPLM\/SPLA aimed to establish an autonomous Southern Sudan, initially within a united Sudan.<\/p>\n

John Garang de Mabior was made its first chairman and Commander-in-Chief.<\/p>\n

Kerbino Kuanyin was appointed the second-ranking Commander, and William Nyuon its third in command.In 1984, the first full-fledged SPLA battalion graduated in the village of Bilpam. The name \u2018Bilpam\u2019 carried great symbolic importance for SPLA as the epicenter of the uprising.<\/p>\n

After Bilpam, other SPLA training camps were established at Dimma, Bonga, and Panyido.<\/p>\n

Its military actions against the Sudanese government culminated in the Second Sudanese Civil War that lasted until 2005.<\/p>\n

After South Sudan gained its independence in 2011, the SPLA became the army of the new country.<\/p>\n

The SPLA was renamed the South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Force, SSPDF, in 2018, partly after the SPLA splintered into so many groups fighting each other from 2013 and 2016.<\/p>\n

As of 2019, the SSPDF comprises the Ground Force, Air Force, Air Defense Forces, and Presidential Guard.<\/p>\n
