Vision is a valuable supplement to strategy, and it ultimately results in achievement.

Vision is a valuable supplement to strategy, and it ultimately results in the achievement of one's objectives.



The liberation of South Sudan was of a complex nature, more so of a race and religion-cultural nature. This is something that is unique to South Sudan when compared with a few other liberation movements in Africa, which were mainly based on racism and colonialism. South Sudan's liberation, on the other hand, was of a nature that involved the assimilation of race, religion, and culture. The independence of South Sudan was of a complex nature, and more so of a race and religion-cultural nature, even if it took place during a protracted and arduous war for freedom.

There was a string of earlier liberation operations that started in what was then Southern Sudan prior to Dr. Garang's SPLM/A in 1983. These efforts came up in sequence. Among these were the Juba Conference, which took place in 1947, the Anya Nya One, which took place in 1955, and the Anya Nya 2 conference. In 1947, participants gathered for the Juba Conference. All of these efforts were made by our ancestors with the hope of freeing the black Africans who lived in the southern portion of Sudan, which is an area whose history has not yet been documented in its entirety in written form.

Therefore, to talk in a more general sense, there are times when liberation strategies can be different and need to be expanded upon, narrowed down, or discarded altogether while others, such as alliance building and so on, are brought into play.

Dr. Garang had to continue to broaden his strategies because it is the Sudan, a nation in which over 90% of the population has been marginalised first by multiple divergent colonialists: the introduction of Islam into the Sudan and Arabs, slavery of Sudanese by Arabia, empires as the Turkish, British, and later on Egypt (which in itself is another one of Africa's most complex nations in terms of colonial-religious-identities-assimilation, etc. nature, including

The Sudan is a particularly remarkable place because it acts as a "divide or unite" bridge in sub-Saharan Africa between North Arabized Africa and Black Africa. This makes the Sudan a very remarkable place. As a result, it is one of the countries on the continent that stands out the most for its unique characteristics. In addition, previous to the year 2011, Sudan was recognised as the country that occupied the most land area in all of Africa. In order for someone's efforts to liberate such a complex nation to be effective, they need to have equal parts vision, strategy, and adaptability in their liberation operations. Dr. Garang adopted exactly that — flexibility and a broader view — in order to make certain that "others who felt marginalised could join the boat of liberation," including women like me. This was done in order to ensure that "others who felt marginalised could join the boat of liberation." As a result of this, other primarily African Sudanese joined Dr. Garang, including the Nuba People, Darforians, Funj, and Ingessina, and by 1997, even northern elite Sudanese began joining in as they too were disgruntled by their own hardline Islamist national congress party, the NCP. This was the case since the NCP was a hardline Islamist national congress party. The Sudan was the location of this event. Even the women from aristocratic families in the north of Sudan were captivated by Garang's vision. The vast majority of people living in Sudan harboured the hope of one day enjoying the freedom that was outlined in the Constitution. As a direct consequence of this, millions of people flocked to Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan, in January 2005 in order to witness his historic visit there. They experienced their own individual epiphany that provided evidence for it!

Dr. John Garang's ambition was to see "unity, justice, liberty, and equality" realised across the globe. This was his lifelong mission.

a goal that each one of us may see ourselves working towards.

All of us are subjected to suppression, marginalisation, and being pushed to the margins.

Yes! Dr. Garang possessed both vision and the ability to execute strategy.

Many people believe that Dr. Garang did not have a vision, despite the fact that their claims are not supported by much proof or foundation. They will also make the claim more specific to themselves or their community, even to the extent of giving it a tribal flavour. In the context of our local politics, such perspectives typically arise from people who are either apologists for bitter rivals, followers of Salva Kiir (who have definitely abandoned the South Sudanese Vision), or wishy-washy no-brainer people who are either ignorant or want to wash or wish away realities. Anyone who possesses even a minimal amount of intelligence will find it extremely frustrating to read the views that came before it. This composition is distinguished by an unusually large amount of either confusion, shallowness, or even naked destructiveness. This is one of the piece's defining characteristics.

Why would hundreds of thousands of South Sudanese soldiers be loyal to Dr. Garang if he didn't have a vision for the country? If he didn't have a vision, why would millions of South Sudanese people rally behind him? Why, after so many years since his terrible death, is he still regarded in such high esteem not only in South Sudan but all around the world as well? Are all of these millions of people similarly berefting of a sense of direction?

It is essential for people with vision to identify with the people around them. Who among us has vision and who among us does not is a mystery to us!

What I have personally learned from Dr. John Garang's vision I aim to write down and put into exercise at some point in the future.
