I congratulate the southern Sudanese scholars for the founding of the ARFD. The establishment of this important institution shows vision for the future and commitment to good governance, peace, and development. I hope the ARFD receives full support it deserves from the GoSS so that it can contribute positively to the state- and nation-building process.

What a marvellous move from our acedamics. A country without thinkers has no future. You are setting a direction for the generations of tomorrow. I hope young reseachers will join you and the forum will grow into different sectors of our society in order to inform the policies in our new born nation. Be sure of our support.
