The baby state brings to birth of a Comboni website:
On July 9, 2011,
the Day of the Independence, during his address South Sudan’s first president
Salva Kiir Mayardit appealed to citizens of the new republic to focus on unity
based on cultural and ethnic diversity, which he said was a source of pride.
“You may be a Zande, Kakwa, Lutuko, Nuer, Dinka
or Shilluk, but first remember yourself as a South Sudanese” Kiir told thousands of joyful
citizens.
On his turn,
Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir said that the newly independent Republic of
South Sudan’s success "will be our
success. We fulfill our commitment to help the new state of South Sudan in its
first steps, because we want it to succeed, and because its success will be our
success.”
Words of
hope and vision of the future. Our hope is that they may become true for the
future generations for the baby Republic of South Sudan.
One month ago, the Council of Ministers of the Government of South Sudan,
chaired by its chairman Salva Kiir Mayardit, has approved significant and
historical dates for the people of southern Sudan. 191 years of struggle for
freedom!
We Comboni Missionaries present in South Sudan want to follow the footsteps
of our founder St. Daniel Comboni in our creative way as he was for all his
journey of life. His struggle against slavery and the care and love for the
people of Sudan was outstanding and inspiring. Many other Comboni missionaries
lived and left their lives for Jesus and the people in this land of suffering
and death but full of hopes and courage for the future despite the many
difficulties.
This Independence Day marked an historical accomplishment of the liberation
of the people of South Sudan and of the dream of Daniel Comboni: Save Africa by
Africa, Save Sudan by Sudanese.
On July 9, 2011, the Comboni Missionaries’ Province of South Sudan launched
our baby website: www.combonisouthsudan.org
that wants to be a bridge between us and the Comboni family and all the friends
of South Sudan.
Faithful to our charism for evangelization, missionary animation of the
local churches and all the people of good will we want to reach out to the
world with information about who we are and what we are doing in the beloved
land of Daniel Comboni.
As the new nation is starting its first steps, also for us we are building
our website slowly by slowly and with the time will grow. We welcome any
suggestions, collaborations and contributions from any friend and supporter of
the Sudan.
Fr. DANIELE MOSCHETTI
and
South Sudan Comboni Provincial Council
