Dear brother Mabior Garang De Mabior,

Its my hope that you’re doing great wherever you are now. And may you stay bless in wherever you’re.

Its clear that you’re with rebels now. And its clear that you’re against Kiir and its government, the government you ,your boss (Riek) and supporters are allegedly accusing of dictatorship, failure,illiteracy and many that I could count for a whole day. And that’s the reason you,Riek and your supporters are asking for federalism now,the federalism that you have no idea of it’s results in the near future, the federalism that will not even favour your own State,county, payam and community that you came from in terms of country’s natural resources or country’s income.

Many of your supporters who encouraged you in your letter,articles always start it off by pointing out a few good things that you’re fighting for and suddenly switch, explaining what they’re supporting you for. Those are the ones who always want to prove themselves that they’re failures. Others even supports your awful articles you writes against the GOSS. Such group is mainly composed of beggars, flatterers. (Tearz Ayuën) called them sycophants, generally. And I called them in dinka language ‘Koch ke wun chi kuaath’ , I don’t know if that’s the correct spelling in Dinka language.

Well ,if you have chosen to continue or go ahead with your pending pleasure, interest and case then that’s fine! but that’s not the reason I chooses to waste my precious time writing this note or article today. I simply writes this to advise you and to represent and show you the facts,truths you have ceased to see or you’ve been ignoring since. You’re against your late father’s(nation’s father) best and longest friend ‘President Kiir Mayardit’.

You called him dictator, illiterate. But you suddenly forgotten that this same man:

a) Was the most loyal and close friend to your father(nation’s father). You and your supporters called him ‘illiterate’ but you have forgotten that this same man did contribute allot to the Paradise you and your boss ‘Riek’ are trying to hijack or rob from him now. He sacrifice his chance of later become literate politician just to obey Late Dr John Garang command or wishes (he didn’t asked to be release to go to school when others who are now literate politicians were released by late Dr John Garang to go to school from front line). And you’re now calling him ‘illiterate’? That sound funny to me.

b)Was he not the same man whom your father (nation’s father) abandoned and sidelined in Yei for two years without contact or update on the CPA peace process? And when he asked late Dr John Garang on how the peace is progressing his words were ignored and manipulated. However, with his good conflict resolution skills and the love,respect he had for late Dr John Garang as a brother they resolved their differences with your father (nation’s father) in Rumbek in 2004 peacefully.

c)Was he not the same man who show or demonstrated his respect, love and loyalty for your father(nation’s father) by employing your mother(nation’s mother)?He appointed her as a minister of road before independence and later appointed her to be his advisor (president advisor) .When other SPLA commanders,soldiers who did  went to front line are struggling with their families. And you’re ungrateful?!

d) A man whose government did not and will never abuse,say bad words to your father(nation’s father)and his entire family. He can grant or give you anything you want anytime because of the loyalty he has for your father (nation’s father) and importantly the achievement of Dr John.

e) A man who has and always ignored your criticism for or toward his leadership. A man who tortured and even sent some mere activists to an early graves just because they criticized his leadership and their fathers are not famous or known in the history of South Sudan.

And many more favours he did to your family and you’re comfortably leaving this man for the man who betrayed your father(nation’s father). The man who called your father (nation’s father) a dictator. A man who killed and left nobody on some of your community plot or land. A man whose his current military spokesman is talking bad against late Dr John Garang.

You and your supporters must be saying this to yourselves now: “What’s this boy talking about? Is he drunk or mentally deranged? Someone please take him to a mental hospital. Does he know who I am? Who is his father anyway? Does he really know my father? Does he know that I have a power? Is he aware that I can send him to an early grave. You can even ignore my words and quote this ‘we in a world world were everyone have an opinion’.

And you can take my words seriously and put them into action but its up to you. Am not asking you to stop or leave what you desire but am asking you to redeem yourself because you may regret what you are doing to yourself now later .

Mabiorkääi I believe your father (Late Dr John Garang De Mabior) had a reputation in you, that was the reason he gave you those name, your grandfather name ,in fact his father’s name. Don’t let them go in vain, use them very well. I am surprise to see you in politic at your age. I thought you were still moaning your father. I didn’t even thought you would join rebel like the way you did .

I was expecting you to have put politic aside and think of building yourself and then later join politic because I have never see a politician who is like you

– Who have not even plant himself (get married – you’re not married if am not wrong)
– Who’s still living in his parents house.
– Who doesn’t have buttocks (ang’uem), stomach.

And claim to be a politician, am very surprise of you my dear bro!

Mabiorkääi ‘hurry has no blessing’

Mabiorkääi ‘achin kë ye yök ë tong chi welnhom baai, ee ng’ong ë rot’

Mabiorkääi don’t allow yourself to be Riek’s Oginga Odinga of South Sudan.

Mabiorkääi be a man of your own principles and the greater Bor will be behind you and you will be a leader.

May God Bless You
