South Sudan is a great country blessed with her resources. It took South Sudanese decades to attain their independence after losing millions of lives. This country needs our responsibility and patriotism to rescue it from this tragedy.

What's the reason for our president to ask for his incentive to bring peace to his citizens?

Did kharbino Kuanyin Bol and John Garang De Mabior and others get their incentives for liberation of this country? If no, then our president should cease talking negative things in public rallies.

It's not reasonable for President Salva Kiir to ask for an incentive for bringing lasting peace to his citizens when the innocent civilians are suffering from diseases, hunger, and insecurity across the country and in neighboring countries.

What is my incentive if this war continues? I am a widow; my husband was killed in this war.  What is my incentive if this war continues?

I am an ordinary citizen. I feel insecure, my children died of diseases and hunger because there is no health facilities. What is my incentive if this war continues?

I am a refugee. I sleep under a tree, and I have no food, water and treatment. What is my incentive if this war continues?

 I am a government employee. My salary does not come on time and it is not sustain me for two weeks. What is my incentive if this war continues?

 I am a student. I can't afford to pay school fees and lunch because everything is very expensive. What is my incentive if this war continues?

I am a soldier. My salary is not enough and the salary does not come on time. What is my incentive if this war continues?

 I am an orphan. My father and mother were killed in this war. What is my incentive if this war continues? No education, no roads, no clean water, no healthcare services and everything is very expensive and there is insecurity everywhere in the country because of this senseless war.

For us South Sudanese citizens, what are our incentives if this war continues? Mr President, please give us our incentives.

Please Mr. President, if you care about your citizens bring lasting peace to us. Enough is enough. Peace is your incentive. Thanks you.
