Many thanks Lakes State Youth Consultative Council LSYCC for the tireless effort you made to meet and discus some issues and the way forward. We shall firmly stand with you guys. I have a few questions to ask:
– Is LSYCC different from General Lakes State Youth Association?
– Is Both of them are different from SPLM Yoth League in the State Level?
Please let me know because it looks like there will be three associations within the State level.

Congratulations to you all members of the Lake State Youth Consultative Council (LSYCC), I believe this to be a remarkable and fundamentle strategic conference that LSYCC have carried out, may it have been a success and achieved it’s ultimate goals, this has prooved to project the essence of leadership in Lake state and that of looking into the future considering the role young people can play in future politics and in many other fields of the developmentle progresses of Sudan. Again, I believe this shows that the youth of this particular state are responsible and are ready to contribute positvely towards the rebuilding of Lake State and the nation at large. It is clearly a route in which all of the young people in Sudan should take, to clearly identify the role of the youth is a vital initiatve and thus needs prior considerations espacially a support from the Lake state elders and leaders as well as the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS). Therefore, members of LSYCC and the entire population in general, I congratulate you all and keep up the good work.
