Fake attributes and true attributes of any person part ways always. The engineers of wars explain the reasons for wars to the stakeholders in different manners, Adolf Hitler rallied Germans with lies to march into blazing fires.
–
However, at the end of the war (WWll), Hitler robbed his surviving citizens of their last right, an explanation, why they lost the war because he committed suicide. Riek equates to desperate opportunists who in the past, tried to propagate their hidden interest by using different strategies but they failed.
–
As time goes, S. Sudan’s war takes its rightful position like jigsaw puzzle pieces. In this war, the truth evaporates unnoticed because no room for undecided and neutral supporters. George W. Bush’s phrase, “you either be with us or with them (no in between)” snares the true nature of this war.
–
This note will discuss the inconsistencies in the rebels’ “democracy” campaign: Gatdet’s terrible mistake and the latest humiliation of Mabior Dr. John!
Firstly, Gatdet unveiled the first inconsistency in Bentiu when he indiscriminately butchered Nuers (civilians) and Darfureans (traders). The act sent away many supporters of rebels including the super power, US. US bought the “democracy” campaign from Riek, however, after the slaughtering of Darfureans, US began having low opinions about Riek’s democracy.
–
The dumb-headed Gatdet should have known that US spent 1.28 billion dollars for Darfureans’ welfare since 2003 (October, 2003 to 2006), so killing them angered them (Americans) and cost Riek’s rebellion a fortune! With the killings of the civilians (unsupportive Nuers and Darfureans), US directed its full support towards peace negotiations and some support for Kiir’s government.
–
We witnessed US change of direction when the secretary of State, John Kerry jetted to Juba and uttered this statement, “there was no equivalency between president Kiir, an elected leader, and rebel leader.” This began the weaknesses of Riek’s campaign and a new dawn of Kiir’s defence. The rebels lost all the towns they occupied except Akobo; Riek has to care for his campaign, the less he loses direction for his war as in 1991.
–
Secondly, in the murkiness of Juba’s politics, Riek preached his fake change of governance in S. Sudan so he won himself a few followers from others tribes, Mabior Garang included, and the majority of his tribe’s population, as usual, took everything by his(Riek’s) words but the sayings holds, all that glitters is not gold. With this truth, General Lul Ruai Koang surprised the many when a harsh statement oozed out of him towards Mabior Garang.
–
For those who read not, the statement goes,
–
“the days when one man, his wife and two young sons would come, kill, hijack, own, deny, disregard, work tirelessly to distort or try to burry part of history made by fighters before him are long gone and consigned to history books.”
–
The statement shocked many because high profile functionaries (in the rebellion) the likes of General Ruai should understand fully the lifeline of their claims; they should know Mabior and Mama Nyandeng legitimise their (Riek and supporters) rebellion so they must treat them with a great care, otherwise, accusation that rebellion is one tribe owned holds. It shocked some of us who didn’t know the intention of Riek and his senior officers from his tribe when they stirred chaos in our country, until Mr. Ruai declared their intention.
–
They intended to rewrite the history written by a charisma and political ingenuity of a man whom the innocent world still mourns his death. A man whom his son joined those who wish to rewrite his (the man’s) history. Mabior sacrificed lots for backing Riek’s claims, so the best Riek and his supporters should offer him are respect and loyalty, but not backfiring him.
–
I sympathise with Mabior because I compare him to that submissive antelope that joined the hyenas thinking that befriending the enemy would secure his life, however, not! One day, hyenas and that antelope saw another antelope at the distance, the hyenas and the antelope (their friend) started chasing the antelope but it got away so the stupid, angry and hungry hyenas turned to their friend as their meal. Mabior must know as Kiir got away, these hyenas will turn to him. Some people lost their lives in the same instance.
–
In conclusion, at the end of everything when every lie dies, no more feelings for lies, and the truth radiates with life, we, the citizens will rally behind S. Sudan and not behind our tribesmen. However, our egos in which, we support our own kind, be it, in character, blood or friendship will bog us down for very long time.
–
With tribalism in our blood and characters, we edge away from nationalism and endorse tribalism, so persons from other tribe cannot speak their minds around us without us threatening them.
