  • 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.
