About SPLM

A national movement, disciplined by service

SPLM is South Sudan's ruling party and the democratic mass Movement of our people, tempered by liberation struggle and focused now on turning sovereignty into steady peace, visible services, and reform. We hold both the task of government and the duty to stay close to citizens: reporting progress, widening opportunity, and earning support in the open.

A Message From The Secretariat

Welcome from the Secretary General

Welcome to the official website of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement. This platform highlights the history, leadership, policies, and activities of the Movement, while reflecting on its accomplishments in the struggle for liberation, peace, and nation-building, and its aspirations for a more united, democratic, and prosperous South Sudan.

We encourage you to explore this website to learn more about the Party's mission, values, and initiatives. The Secretariat also warmly welcomes your advice on how to improve the site, whether through its content, its aesthetics, or both, as part of our shared commitment to building a peaceful, united, and prosperous South Sudan.

I thank you for your continued interest and support, and I encourage greater interaction and engagement between the Secretariat, our members, and the wider public.
