WELCOME TO SUNRISE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

TO BUILD A BETTER COUNTRY FOR ALL

The mission of the SDP is to provide genuine leadership that is responsive, transparent and accountable to the people, and to provide opportunities and empowerment for the youth, women, minorities and the disabled.

The Youth

The youth make up great majority of the population of South Sudan, with approximately 70% being below the age of 35 years.

The Women

The women in South Sudan face a lot of challenges including gender based violence, domestic violence, forced marriage, and more.

The Farmers

South Sudan has huge land resources with a great potential to produce food to meet its needs, and that of neighbouring countries. As estimated, 75% of the country’s land area is suitable for agriculture.

The Disabled

The people with disabilities in South Sudan are marginalised & excluded as a result of the numerous attitudinal, environmental, and institutional barriers. .

Why do we need the SDP to take over the government of South Sudan?

South Sudan faces an uncertain future. As you all know, our country is now languishing in the abyss of man-made crises as well as natural crises. These crises include political crisis that has caused civil war, the war has caused humanitarian crisis that has made more than half our population refugees and impoverished, serious human rights abuses, corruption, frequent unprecedented floods and droughts. Lack of basic services and the threat of famine have raised the level of crimes such as highways robberies and cattle rustlings which is tearing our communities apart. All these crises have put our country in a dire economic crisis and now our people work just like slaves with no salaries for years now and the situation worsens as time goes. The ongoing conflict and insecurity have pushed millions to the brink of starvation for years now.
