Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The South Sudan Deputy Ambassador to America, Gordon Buny, has called for investment in child education to address the country\u2019s burden of negative ethnicity.<\/p>\n

Speaking during an inspection visit to River Jordan Nursery and Primary School in Lologo, a Juba suburb, on Monday, Amb. Buny said that one of the solutions to end tribalism, which has plunged the country into serious pain, is by promoting education.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Sudan is a young country, but for us to grow, we must educate children because they are the future leaders and they are the people who will transform our societies,\u201d said Amb. Buny.<\/p>\n

Amb. Buny emphasised the need to remove all socio-political barriers hindering quality education for children, pointing out that there is \u201cno societal positive change without education.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot change the mindset of the society if we do not change the mindsets of the people, especially the young kids because they will be different from our generations…tomorrow they will be more peaceful than us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Since the country\u2019s independence in 2011, South Sudanese have been polarised along ethnic lines, resulting in intra- and inter-communal violence in many parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Thousands of citizens have been displaced from their homes and livelihoods have been destroyed in some areas over the last few years, particularly in the Upper Nile, Jonglei, Lakes, Central, Eastern, and Western Equatoria states, Warrap and Lakes, and Unity States.<\/p>\n

Recently, humanitarian agencies reported that an estimated 60 per cent of the South Sudan population would face an acute hunger crisis due to inter-communal clashes.<\/p>\n

However, Amb. Buny further called for the establishment of multiethnic basic schools that teach values of togetherness, love, and tolerance among the youngest generation to enable them to have peaceful coexistence in the future.<\/p>\n
