Announcing confidently about the book to be launched, the Author says his book whose subtitle reads ‘Humanitarian Aid in South Sudan’, is very imperative to changing lives of his fellow citizens as it teaches them how to become self reliant.

He says that the book becomes one of his greatest achievements in life as he disclosed that he started writing it in 2010 and begun to gather data in 1997 and has been written in South Sudanese perspectives.

The leader elaborates that South Sudan has gained her independence on 9 July 2011 following decades of civil wars in the then Sudan saying the wars unquestionably made South Sudanese people view food relief as everything they should always depend on not knowing what next when the UN Agencies or International Humanitarian Organizations begin withdrawing themselves from offering their services.

He says South Sudanese communities should be given what they want or demand but not what the NGOs want to give adding that deciding for them as NGOs won’t work.

Hon. Surur discloses that the book expected to be launched shortly after the upcoming South Sudan’s Independence Day celebrations primarily focuses on South Sudanese but not outside clarifying that it covers related issues right from time of Sudan’s independence 1956 until post Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) era.

He says one of the reasons behind official launch is simply to inspire South Sudanese young writers apart from informing the entire community.

In order to create access, the writer assures the press that copies of the book expected to arrive in Torit this week and will be made available to all South Sudanese population in the country once launched.

He believes once the book reaches the hands of fellow young South Sudanese populace, it will teach them how to become self reliant as this has been its primary’s intention.

Hon. Surur says in his book, he quoted the former Executive Director for the formerly Southern Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation ASuthority (SSRRA), late Mario Mormor who said relief aid is good for shorter time but in the long run, it creates dependency and addictions.
