From the Founder

“We are here to organize — not to beg.”

We, the young people of South Sudan, refuse to inherit a broken nation in silence. For too long, the destiny of our country has been negotiated behind closed doors by men who fear accountability more than they fear collapse. We are told to wait, to “stay calm,” to be loyal to a system that has failed us from every angle — education, economy, peace, justice, dignity.

SSYM exists because the generation they ignored has decided to rise. We will not be intimidated. We will not be bought. We will not apologize for demanding a country where human rights are not a privilege, where leadership is not a weapon, and where youth are not used as fuel for war.

— Changkouth Mangij, Founder & Youth Reforms Advocate
