Chang your situation by working for yourselves not against yourselves.
Whoever is manipulation you to war is not your friend.❤😢😮😅
You could better occupy your time building homes, cultivating crops, fishing, hunting child game, producing your own food.❤
It's a horrific waste.😮
❤stop this wasteful warring at once.
It is a terrible waste of precious resources.❤
You can't afford to waste anything You need everything you've got including all of your people cultivating land, and fishing and hunting and warding off evil, and warding off famine.
You must use your country's resources to build and improve your country.😢
War doesn't improve anything and it is wasteful.
Dear Sudanese people suffering from famine and starvation. I have a motivational word for you ❤ I Jesus Name.
The leadership is apparently not very good.
The farmers and cattlemen must come together and organize.
This is No time to demonstrate. You don't have time for that.
This is the time to work.
Every man, every woman, every child that is of age must work.
Working is what will feed you.
Fishermen must mend their nets a fish in the sea and the.
You can't just sit there and wait for food to fall from heav .
You have to be about the business of providing for yourselves some how.
Asses what resources you have at hand and put those to work. Get up! Look around you. If you have wild animals in abundance, It may not be what you want to eat but to prevent starvation in am emergency, kill and eat them.
If you have wild birds in abundance. Hunt them. Kill those wild birds and stay alive. Was the food, boil it, make soup to stretch it and make it feed a lot of people. Don't waste anything. Don't throw anything away. Use everything to your advantage.😢😮
Do you have fruit trees? Do you have vegetables with seeds in them. Don't throw the seeds away. Plant those seeds and cultivate your land? Do have land? Cultivate your land to yield a crop.
Everybody get up and start working. Do something! Make an effort to meet your own needs by using your intelligence and your sm
skill, and your abilities and your brain, and your ideas.
Don't just sit there and wait to be rescued. Help may not be on the way. Consider that you are on your own.
The sooner you start working to provide food for your selves, by your own labor, the better off you will be.
Charity is good. But you can't always rely on charity from the world. You can't always depend on hand outs from the government.
Become self – reliant.
Become self help.
Become builders.
Become planters.
Become growers.
Become hunters.
Become fishermen
Become doers.
Become preservers of food suppliers.
Become food suppliers. Now.
Become food producers.
We hope that helps is that on the way and it will arrive it time to save you. But in the meantime. Fish and hunt game birds and game animals and make soup.❤
That's Right❤🎉😂😂😂😅
Become.Creators of abundance.
Ring the bell.
Close the book
Quench the candles
Cool vibes .Smart /intelligent young man.
What– so he's not even South Sudanese–they just picked him up for the Olympics –that aint right
Kyrie and Jaylen should join Sudan
Congratulations 🎉🎉. They will upset the United States today….
Update:this aged well
Carlik Jones was born in Ohio, USA, and his parents reside in America, yet his ancestors are from South Sudan, a nation in North Africa. Jones’ grandparents and other family live in his native country, and he visits often over the holidays.
Cheering you on from Rwanda
Funny how 1000's have gone to Europe to play and I dont think they have ever been invited to play for the national team and when they do in soccer they are taunted, but the first man here to go to Africa gets welcomed as a national.
This South Sudan team is DANGEROUSLY good. They move the ball well, they take good shots, and are physical. Definitely a scary matchup for anyone.
Thought that was Camron Payne😂😂😂
He doesn't 'lead' them, come on
Whose here after the Win vs Puerto Rico
Deng! Was One of My Favorite Players in the Chicago Bulls
Props to this gentleman. 🫶🏽
Sky’s the limit for South Sudan 🇸🇸
Carlik is a baller, why isn't he on a NBA team?
We're probably proud of him in our men's basketball squad ….big up to him💪🏿🇸🇸💪🏿
Brother was straight balling!! The NBA might send him a 1 year deal..
Good please do not let some one from NBA signed him for three more days . He is a Partizan Belgrade player and with him we attacking Euroleague !!!
Dude how the heck do the Olympics work lol
I don't care what your ethnicity or country is, you represent wide varieties of people from various places, experiences, and walks of life whether it is Africa, underdog nations, developing nations, certain tribes and ethnicities of people, etc…

Amazing story💜
The guy should be in the NBA soon..
