 Good, thank you. My name is Wadamaya from Ghana. My name is Joe Walilotua from Yuba, South Sudan. And everyone in here is telling me I need to look for you. Yes, yes. Because you are the only one who is running the only boat cruise in South Sudan. You are in the right place at the right time. Welcome to South Sudan, my friend. Thank you so much. But I really want to know why you decided to start something like this in this country. Well, that's a very good question to ask, actually. Gecko Tour is an adventure as it sounds. It's a tourist company. Obviously, we're here to authentify the authenticity of the South Sudan experience. Coming all the way from Ghana, I'm sure the stories that you heard were not pleasant about South Sudan. No, they told me not to count. Exactly. You're probably expecting to be in bunkers or hiding behind trees from bullets. But this is it. This is the story that's never been told. So you guys are blessed with the river now. And you decided to create something like this for people to have fun in their own country. And that is the main motive of Gecko Adventures. We wanted to show the world one of the most... We have so many beauties of South Sudan. But out of the many beauties, it's the river now, which is one of the longest in the world. But nobody ever tells this story as you can see it here. Me and you here standing in South Sudan. What you see in the news is not the same thing that you see as you hear with me. So that's what we're here to tell. And we need the whole world to know that just apart from the history of South Sudan, we are hopeful and we are here to change the narratives. And the future is bright for this country. That is so beautiful. So let me know, tell us the kind of services that you guys provide in here. Obviously we provide the experience. Not just any other boat cruise where everyone just hops in and observes. When you come in here, we want to give you the experience of this beautiful part of the world, which is South Sudan. This is a fully serviced boat. We have a bar here. Downstairs there's serviced lavatories. We have all the safety equipment in place. We have your first aid kits. We have fire extinguishers. We always have two divers on board at all time to make sure that in case anything goes wrong, you're in good hands. Basically, we also provide life jackets. We're obviously not wearing one because we are not... That makes you comfortable. We have two divers, we have a life jacket. I have to experience this. So the point is you don't have to know how to swim for you to come here. We can take care of you with that. You don't have to swim for you to come here. Exactly. So safety is number one. Exactly. What do we see this company in the next five years? Well as a secondary vision for the company, being locally owned and incorporated, it tells you that you're in safe hands because the people that run these services actually are from the country and they know each and every corner of South Sudan. So when you come and experience Dubai with us, you're in safe hands. So the vision is tomorrow if you want to go to... I don't even ever heard of the Badangilo National Park. We are one of the biggest migratory routes in Africa from east towards South Sudan. It happens in South Sudan. That way it's called the Badangilo National Park. So in future if you want to go and actually experience that part, we should be able to take you there on game drives and even maybe charter flights. The dream is big but the dream is big. Very big. Do you believe that Africa is the future? Africa is definitely the future. I don't have to say it but you can see it yourself. And if you have the chance to change one thing in the entire continent, what would that can be? Working together as Africans, we have to stand together and actually bring out the beauty of our continent. Amazing. Tell us something that we don't know about South Sudan. What you don't know about South Sudan? What you think we don't know about South Sudan. I'm going to throw that ball back at you because I remember you telling me before you came here, your mom even warned you about not coming. But now we're here. Can you tell us your experience from what you've been told back home? I mean, South Sudan is beautiful, amazing people and trust me, the food is the best. I want to say thank you so much for talking to me. We want to add something to it. Yes, basically as being one of the youngest nations in the world, we have a history. Exactly. And we cannot be defined by our history, obviously. And now that we are here as the young people of this country, we have a very big role which is the aspect of national building and it's not one person job, it's all our collective responsibility. And we're here to give it our all as young people to make sure that we change the heritage of what tomorrow will be like. So don't hesitate, come and visit South Sudan. It's a beautiful place and he will tell you guys more about it. Thank you so much for coming to South Sudan and enjoy your stay. Is it affordable too? Well, we try and make it as affordable as possible. As I've told you about our amenities, that means that we have a very high operational cost obviously. So we're trying to make sure that everyone comes and have the experience. Wow, I want to say thank you so much for talking to me. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. I've been telling you guys that don't believe the stories that you've been hearing. Like I said, when I was coming to South Sudan, everyone was telling me not to come. Yeah, I am. I'm not boozing by the way. This is coke, bro. This is coke. I was enjoying my boat cruise and I found out that, you know these guys, I know they went back in China and I don't know even why they are in this country. Oh, okay. But how is South Sudan, man? We've known each other since, since what? Since 2007. It's a virgin country that has not been exploited. Wow. So there are so many opportunities here. Wow. And South Sudan is not what they picture it in other... So you have to tell them to come here and then enjoy the virginity of South Sudan. Yes. Don't come and break it. Come and enjoy it. Thank you so much for talking to me, man. Thank you, bro. Brother, man. It's nice to see you. Yeah, man. One of my ideas is South Sudan. I just want to know, where are you born and raised in South Sudan? No, I was actually born in Sudan and I grew up in Australia. That's where I came from. Born in Sudan or South Sudan? Sudan. Now we're an independent country. So you gave South Sudan not knowing? No, no, no. Right now I'm in South Sudan, right? No. You're in South Sudan. Born in Sudan. Yes. And now you moved to Australia. Australia, yes. And you're back in South Sudan. But you've come back to the first place. I came back without... I believe in this country. And this is my country. And we have to be part of the narratives. And only us can make changes in this country. We can't point fingers at people and say why aren't they doing this, why aren't they doing that. It's important for us to make changes in this country to build a home and a future for our children, our great-grandchildren. Wow. We're the leaders of this country. Do you know that a lot of South Sudanese are living abroad? Yes. I mean, if you haven't messaged them, what would that message be? What I'd like to say is, guys, whatever qualifications you have, come home. We need you all. We need you. This is where it's happening, South Sudan. This is a place where things can happen overnight. Just take a flight, get on it, and come home. How long have you been in South Sudan? I've been here since 2008. But I got on and off. Do you regret moving back in here? Oh, I'm never going back to Australia. Never. Wow. Never. Thank you so much for talking to me. Thank you. Thank you.
