Former LA Lakers center Wenyen Gabriel recently poured his heart out while reflecting on South Sudan’s difficult economic reality. He used Instagram to express his concerns and explain why he believes the nation continues to face widespread poverty, with three-fourths of the population living below the national poverty line.
Gabriel shared his view that two major challenges are standing in the way of South Sudan reaching its potential. In his Instagram Stories, he identified “conflict”, which has created an unstable government, and “climate change” as the main obstacles. In his opinion, these issues can be tackled and eventually open the door to greater economic growth in the future.
“Those two factors are the root of the problem,” Gabriel wrote in his Instagram Story. “Stability and security is the solution. It will actually give us a chance to develop our infrastructure, resources, and economy. This directly creates more economic opportunities and in result a higher GDP.”
