South Sudan vs USA

Yeah, as I wrote elsewhere, South Sudan is a troubled young nation. Those in power seek to consolidate their hold on power rather than do what is right for the country and establish a truly democratic government where the power lies with the people and their votes. After seeing this happen again and again around the world it makes me feel even more gratitude to our first president, who voluntarily gave up power and established the precedent that led to what we in the US have today… the peaceful transfer of power. I hope one day someone comes into power in South Sudan and establishes the same thing so the long suffering population can be finally concentrate on bettering their economic condition for themselves and their kids.
