Nyieth, Chairman of the Patriotic People&#8217;s Party (PPP)<\/p>\n<p>South Sudan&#8217;s future depends on the full participation of women and youth in political and economic life. The Patriotic People&#8217;s Party is committed to ensuring that these groups are not merely consulted but are genuine partners in shaping the nation&#8217;s destiny.<\/p>\n<p>Women in South Sudan have borne the heaviest burden of conflict while being largely excluded from the decisions that affect their lives and communities. This must change. The PPP believes in the principle of gender equality and supports measures to ensure women&#8217;s meaningful participation in all aspects of public life.<\/p>\n<p>Our party has committed to gender parity in its leadership structures and candidate selection. We believe that women&#8217;s representation must go beyond tokenism \u2014 women must hold genuine decision-making power, not just occupy seats without influence.<\/p>\n<p>The PPP also advocates for legal reforms to protect women&#8217;s rights, including laws against gender-based violence, property rights that ensure women can own and inherit land, and access to credit and business opportunities for women entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>Youth, who constitute the overwhelming majority of South Sudan&#8217;s population, have been similarly marginalized. Young South Sudanese have grown up knowing little but conflict and uncertainty. They deserve better. The PPP is committed to creating opportunities for young people through education, employment, and meaningful participation in political processes.<\/p>\n<p>Our youth agenda includes targeted programs for job creation, skills development, and entrepreneurship support. We also support lowering the age of candidacy for political office and creating spaces for youth voices in decision-making bodies at all levels.<\/p>\n<p>The PPP recognizes that young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow \u2014 they are the leaders of today. We have established youth and women&#8217;s wings within the party and are actively recruiting and mentoring young leaders.<\/p>\n<p>We call on other political parties and the transitional government to join us in prioritizing women and youth. The energy, creativity, and determination of South Sudan&#8217;s women and youth are our greatest national resources. It is time to unleash them.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top:30px; padding:20px; background:linear-gradient(135deg, #1e3a5f, #0f172a); border-radius:8px; text-align:center;\">\n<p style=\"color:white; font-size:18px; margin-bottom:15px;\"><strong>\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf8 Stay Informed About South Sudan&#8217;s Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#ccc; font-size:14px; margin-bottom:20px;\">Follow the Patriotic People&#8217;s Party and Juba Global News Network for daily updates on South Sudan&#8217;s political transition, development, and the vision for a prosperous nation.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex; justify-content:center; gap:15px; flex-wrap:wrap;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@jubaglobal\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display:inline-block; padding:10px 25px; background:#DC2626; color:white; text-decoration:none; border-radius:5px; font-weight:bold;\">\u25b6 Subscribe on YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jubaglobal\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display:inline-block; padding:10px 25px; background:#1E40AF; color:white; text-decoration:none; border-radius:5px; font-weight:bold;\">\ud83d\udc4d Follow on Facebook<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dr. Joseph M.
