How Development will Make Life Easier for People and Reduces Burdens from Politicians in South Sudan
By Engr Ajal Bol G*i
Development plays a very important role in improving the lives of people in any country. In South Sudan, development can help reduce many daily struggles faced by the population and lessen the heavy dependence on politicians. When a country develops, systems become stronger, services improve, and people gain more control over their own lives.
One major benefit of development is improved infrastructure. Good roads, bridges, and transportation systems help people move easily from one place to another. Farmers can take their products to markets, children can reach schools safely, and patients can get to hospitals quickly. Without good roads, people suffer and leaders often use these problems to gain support through promises. Development removes this burden by providing lasting solutions instead of temporary words.
Development also improves healthcare services. In South Sudan, many people travel long distances to find medical help. With development, more health centers are built, medicines are available, and trained health workers are employed. Healthy people can work, study, and support their families better. This reduces fear, stress, and dependence on politicians for emergency assistance.
Another important area is education. Development allows the government to build schools, train teachers, and provide learning materials. Education gives young people skills and knowledge to create better futures. An educated population understands laws, rights, and responsibilities. This helps citizens make informed decisions and reduces manipulation by politicians. Education builds confidence and independence.
Development also creates jobs and economic opportunities. When businesses grow and agriculture is supported, people earn income and improve their living standards. In South Sudan, many people depend on political connections to survive. Development reduces this by creating fair opportunities for all. When people earn their own living, they can support their families without relying on political favors.
Strong institutions are another result of development. Well-functioning courts, police, and local administrations help maintain law and order. When rules are applied fairly, corruption reduces and trust increases. People can solve problems through systems instead of individuals. This reduces the power of politicians to control resources unfairly.
Development also promotes peace and unity. Poverty, unemployment, and lack of services often cause conflict. When development brings opportunities and equal access to resources, communities work together. Peaceful societies allow leaders to focus on progress instead of crisis management.
In conclusion, development is a key solution to many challenges in South Sudan. Development will make life easier for citizens, strengthens independence, and reduces unnecessary burdens from politicians. Through development, people become empowered, systems become reliable, and leadership becomes more accountable. Development is not just growth—it is a path to dignity, stability, and a better future for all.
