Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>African People\u2019s Congress (APC), a youth-led political party, on Friday called on the citizens to come out in large numbers next week to protest the extension of the government mandate by two years.<\/p>\n

This came after the country\u2019s leadership on Thursday extended their stay in power for another 24 months in a bid to complete the political, security, and electoral reforms needed to move the country forward.<\/p>\n

The 24-month extension begins in February 2023 and ends in February 2025.<\/p>\n

A youth-led political party said they plan to stage an anti-extension protest nationwide on 8th August 2022.<\/p>\n

The organizers have not released details on the times but called on the protestors to gather at freedom squares of each state.<\/p>\n

Deng-bill William, Chairman of the African People\u2019s Congress (APC), called for nationwide protests on 9 August to force the government to step down, citing \u201cfailed leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrican People\u2019s Congress, calling upon South Sudanese where ever they are to come out in large numbers on Monday, 8th Aug. 2022 to protest the arbitrary extension of R-TGoNU mandate,\u201d William told Sudans Post in an interview on Friday.<\/p>\n

William called on Social Media Criminals, Red Card Movement and People\u2019s Coalition for Civil Action to join hands with African People\u2019s Congress to stage an anti-government protest next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demanding the resignation of Revitalized Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) and the subsequent establishment of the government of technocrats that shall prepare our country for a democratic, free, and fair elections,\u201d William said.<\/p>\n

The outspoken youth leader directed his followers at state branches to turn up in big numbers on D-Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to instruct our state branches to organize themselves over the weekend and get people to the streets to freedoms squares in ten states so that we can stage sit-in and demand for resignation of R-TGoNU.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe equally call upon the national army, national police service, and national security service to stay away from the political process and stand with the people throughout the process as their role is to protect people\u2019s will, lives, and properties as well law and order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob Thon Dhiei, Interim Secretary General vowed to continue piling on pressure until the entire government is ousted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Algeria when the Bouteflika was ousted out by university students, it was sort of misunderstanding of trying to extend term limit and when you come to Egypt, it was sort of misunderstanding that ousted Morsi and his successor and when you come to Sudan, it was just an issue of bread that ousted Omar al-Bashir,\u201d said Thon.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Sudanese are there dying in their own houses due to hunger, this is enough and we want South Sudanese to decide their fate right now,\u201d Thon added.<\/p>\n
