"You did not fight, you did not liberate this country, we liberated you, you were not in the bush, etc." These are some of the common phrases often used to label certain groups of South Sudanese by those who consider themselves the "liberators" of South Sudan. As a result of such categorization, there is a tendency to prioritize the contributions of specific ethnicities and regions while dismissing those of others. This privileging of military contributions and the use of such labels grant those who perceive themselves as "liberators" a sense of entitlement to political, economic, and military power. Consequently, they can exclude, oppress, abuse, subjugate, and silence those who hold different perspectives.
