Leadership South Sudan Federal Democratic Alliance - SSFDA
Our Chairman - Samuel Mut Gai Dhap
⚠️ Security Advisory
Chairman Samuel Mut Gai leads the South Sudan Federal Democratic Alliance (SSFDA) in the face of real and ongoing threats to his life from the National Security Service (NSS) of the current regime in Juba. His leadership, rooted in principle and courage, has made him a primary target for repression. As such, the Chairman does not appear publicly or disclose travel for security reasons. This underscores the high cost of speaking truth in South Sudan—and the urgent need for international recognition of democratic opposition.

Samuel Mut Gai Dhap
Chairman & Commander-in-Chief, South Sudan Federal Democratic Alliance (SSFDA)
Samuel Mut Gai Dhap is a veteran of South Sudan’s liberation struggle and a steadfast advocate for justice, federalism, and civilian rule. He leads the South Sudan Federal Democratic Alliance (SSFDA) — a structured, civilian-led movement committed to ending militarized kleptocracy and building a democratic federal state for all 64 nations of South Sudan.
With decades of experience in resistance leadership, Samuel has earned respect across communities as a unifying voice for peace and lawfulness. His vision rejects ethnic militarism, the politics of patronage, and the concentration of power in the hands of one group. Instead, he champions:
Federal governance with three semi-autonomous regions, each empowered to manage its resources and protect ancestral lands.
Justice and accountability, including asset recovery and the dismantling of corruption networks.
Inclusive representation that ensures every South Sudanese nation has a voice in government.
A Charter-based system designed to prevent dictatorship and safeguard the people’s sovereignty.
Samuel often states: “The SPLA liberated the country. SSFDA liberates the people.”
Under his leadership, SSFDA operates through a Command Council and ten Shadow Ministries, guided entirely by the SSFDA People’s Charter — a constitutional roadmap for a post-war transition to peace, justice, and prosperity. This structure ensures that the movement is anchored in ideology, not personality, and that leadership serves the people, not itself.
“Our SSFDA Charter is not for generals. It is for the people. It shall guide our peace, our institutions, and our rebuilding.”
