To: our living bloods
From: your slain bloods in the liberation and senseless rebellions
Date: 7th July, 2014
Subject: we left you for a positive purpose
Internal memo
We were mobilized to war for we wanted to coexist as brothers
Brothers who were divided by foreign investors who ignored our brotherhood
Those who thought that they knew more than us and would enslave us
The ones who turned us against each other for wealth and leadership
The problem which has remained in our minds up to date to forget again our rebelling vision in Anyanya wars and SPLM/A wars
In spite of having been born as one all at once
We lived in one womb, fed using one placenta and were born all at once
Our vision in the bush was self reliance not to rebel against each other later on
So that we would lead our own mother’s land to curb misleading, misunderstanding and domination
To discover ourselves as brothers to coexist and live peacefully without aiding the enemy
We left our delicate kids and wives for the then war for their bright future
We left our parents and siblings while unmarried to set up the foundation stones for the unitary system of governance among ourselves
We don’t have children or rather parents now for our first independence showed us the badness of unity with Arabs so we fought for freedom
Because we knew we were brothers and would mind of a generation to come
The purpose you were left for was left in our deceased chronicles
The documents of peace and continuity of peaceful coexistence as brothers in South Sudan left with you after all by Dr. John Garang de Mabior to observe
Remember Atlabara where our men were taken out of their houses and killed
Remember rujaal mafi where our men were taken away for their wives to be raped or killed
Remember Lubas mafi where our wives were undressed and left ready for a rape
Remember our chiefs across the country who were slaughtered and dropped in the Nile
Remember all the massacres and genocides committed across the country which has not been so long too
We were advocating for self reliance from this domination from the Anglo-Egyptian condominium
The British condominium and the Arabs domination after the independence where we got assassinations in return
Remember Anyanya wars, the Torit revolution and the independence of 1956
The sixteenth May of the second civil war of 1983 under SPLM/A and the Independence Day, the 9th July
Count how far we have gone since our independence on July 9th, 2011 up to date
Remember your brother or relative who died and the one with a missing body part
As a result of liberation struggles
We all have hands as the ethnic groups of South Sudan in the Independence Day
From Southern Kordofan to Blue Nile and Abyei we need referendum for our land and peace for our good
Stretching to the entire land of South Sudan, we don’t need rebellions but peace
War is not the solution to our own problems as brothers who can sit down and eat in the same dish
What will you tell me about a child, an expectant mother and the aged who have died before their times?
All for hunger, thirst or bullets fired at them which they all had escaped
Let the Independence Day be the sign of our unity from the third anniversary onwards
