The former President of the High Executive Council and founder of the Anyanya movement, composed a song to cheer southerners marching on the road of freedom.
Joseph Lagu, who governed south Sudan after the Addis Ababa agreement over 30 years ago, told SCR News that he was extremely happy to have raised an army from scratch and fight against the Khartoum government.
Mr Lagu added that he was pleased to see an end to the colonialist’s Sudan that marginalized southerners.
He sang the song he composed urging Southerners to march to freedom.
Mr. Lagu called upon the people of south Sudan to value and cherish freedom by holding and uniting together to defeat tribalism as they did in the past.
Joseph Lagu, 79, was the first south Sudanese to be appointed vice president in the government of Sudan.
