SOUTH SUDAN, the new born country, which started its future yesterday, has many expectations and dreams, which they had kept in their mind for many years. The country is like a newborn kid for the citizens. Like the parent of a newborn, this country’s parents have many expectations and dreams in their mind about the kid.

For a handsome and good kid they have to frame and tame their kids character, similarly this newborn country has to grow up according to certain rules and regulations for a bright future. This is now murmuring in the prayer halls of churches, nook and corner of every place in Sudan. Even though they are in celebration mood this thought is also in their mind as a question mark.

Certain statements of different personalities relating to these expresses they want to show before the world they are much more than their yesterdays. John Goi Deng, a youth mobiliser, told a leading newswire service that, “It is a big, big job but we want to make our new capital look beautiful.”

The challenges ahead are truly overwhelming for one of the poorest countries on earth that was left in ruins after five decades of devastating conflict between southern rebels and successive Sudanese governments.

South Sudan has to start everything from scratch, the government, the rules, the financial status, everything from the beginning. They have to climb each step from the ditches of poverty. On the UN's Human Development Index -- a measure of overall quality of life and development -- Sudan currently ranks 154th out of 169. South Sudan will start even closer to the bottom.

The world is now looking forward that this newborn kid can survive all these and make a bright future to show the world that, we are here.
