Tearz of the Obnoxious Farting (TOF)
5 min readBy Amer Mayen Dhieu, Brisbane, Australia
Let me tell you a short story. Two and half years ago, an old man from my church was campaigning for the CPA-mandated referendum in Junub Thudan. In particular, he was encouraging people to vote for separation of Junub Thudan.
One Sunday, he came to our Church and was given a chance to air his opinion. He started his campaign with a short story narrating what had happened between Arab and us, Junubiin.
He said: What happened between us and the Arab, the very reason why we are fighting, is that Sudan is like a mosquito net with hundreds of tribes including Darfur, Nuba, Arabs and us. These tribes sleep under one mosquito net called Sudan.
He continued: One night when all the tribes were sleeping, Arab wake up at night and “farted” at everyone in the mosquito net. He tied the net to make sure everybody smell the fart. The smell was very strong.
The old man concluded: People in the South and others from Nuba mountains, Blue Nile, Abyei and Darfur couldn’t stand the most obnoxious smell farted by the Arabs. The fighting erupted in the stingy net full with the smell of fart. The South fought courageously until Arab gave them way-out. That way out should be the birth of South Sudan.
His story end there.
After the birth of South Sudan, the men who were in the net when Arab people farted at South Sudanese people took the experiences and use it to fart at their own citizens. Corruption ensued; national budget was privatized, with everything going to their pockets. Abuna Diing Chan Awuol (Isaiah Abraham) was murdered by the pocketeers.
No road were built, no school constructed, no dam, no hospital, no port, no electricity, no clean drinking water, no food, no security, no nothing but only Tearz. Tearz shed for hunger, diseases, illiteracy, ignorance, neglect, desperation, and hopelessness.
The smell of fart started to make it way to the parliament. Mama stood up to speak her mind against the recycling of old oppressive tactics that compelled our people to fight for over 21 years. She screamed, but no one heard her. She advised, but her advice was used against her.
On December 15th, the smell of the farting was getting thicker and worse. Some men were trying to open the net to find the exit. She was among those men, speaking her mind over and over again. No one heard her, but she never gave up. She has been continually screaming at the farting emanating from Juba.
Because of her strong views and sharp tongue, the media can’t afford to leave her alone. They know she is the only one to tell them the truth about who farted first, who didn’t want people to keep farting and who try to find the exit to escape the farted-net.
She played a strong role as a wife and mother ever since she married her deceased husband. Today, she has been persistently playing her role as the mother of the nation (MON). Her goal is to halt the farting business in Juba that is poisoning her children. She wants to see less stalking Tearz but more smile on their faces. What a noble goal for Mama.
That is why she answers every question the media asks her, without rumbling about everything happening in the net. She only shares what she is asked which commonly is how the farting started. She answers that over and over again. The farting is too despicable to be hidden.
In fact, the farting is “so loudly. It’s both deafening and life-threatening. Actually, some of those who’re present at the scene died from the sound. Others have bleeding ears” and running nose and watery eye. In short there are TEARZ nowadays in South Sudan because of this obnoxious farting.
I called them Tearz of the Obnoxious Farting (TOF). Tearz shed for the horrible farting, Tearz shed for the dead love ones, and Tearz for the vanquished hopes, mowed down by the “various unidentified toxic gases” in the all-consuming farting. There is no fire extinguisher to scale back the Tearz. Mama is the solution.
While she was away from her office, weakling men from her neighbourhood came and left their testicles on her table and went to the Media houses, SSTV, Facebook, Twitter, and mobile phones to fart. They shamelessly accused her of joining the rebellion, leaving the real rebels relaxing and enjoying the killings.
These men are too afraid to face the white army who killed their people and too afraid to point out who started the farting business that led to the proliferation of Tearz. And so like typical cowards, they hopelessly settle on a widow. They reached their lowest level and were running around calling her prostitute of Sudan gadim, a whore, Riek’s inherited wife, and so many trashes.
The mother of the nation can’t go down that low. She respects and cares for the mothers of the cowards. I too respect their mothers; they are honourable women, wives, aunts, and sisters. Mama is waging their war and I am merely pointing out the obvious, they are mothers of our martyrs, war veterans and future leaders.
No sane person but the cowering weakling men with testicles left at Mama table can dive that low. So pathetic of them, for they will be known in history as those men who left the white army haemorrhaging their villages while they came for a widow.
Mama visited her office, picked up the testicles of the cowards who left their testicle on her desk, covered her ears with them and opened her brain through her mouth.
She is still preaching against the undeserved farting unleashed on the poor citizens of Junub Thudan. And from now on, she is a rebel mother of the nation.
She has rebelled against the Tearz of Obnoxious Farting in Junub Thudan.
