"This one is going to our President Salva Kiir. We should support our veterans when they are still alive so that they can take care of their families"

— VP Nyandeng

She expressed doubts about the re-election of many leaders, including herself, due to their failure to meet the people’s expectations. Nyandeng also called upon the spirits of fallen martyrs to help bring peace back to the country. [12]

Comprehensive Peace Agreement

Nyandeng has expressed dissatisfaction with the way the government of Sudan in Khartoum implements the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. During the years of war, she joined the southern army known today as the Sudan People's Liberation Army and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement. She is known for her support of the right of self-determination for South Sudan although she has nothing against a united Sudan under a democratic rule of law. Millions of Southern Sudanese have been affected by the war between the North and South Sudan which has a long history from the time the British left Sudan in 1956. As a result of war over 2 million lives in South Sudan have been lost and four million South Sudanese are both internally displaced and externally living in other countries as refugees. After the arrival of peace in South Sudan, repatriation process has been made by the United Nations. [13]

Documentary

In 2022, her daughter Akoul produced a documentary called No Simple Way Home, on her family and the work to create a better South Sudan. [14] [15] [16]
