"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
Our honorable politicians….led by President Salva Kiir Mayaardit and Dr. Riek Machar Teny and Pagan Ammum Okiech….know how to fight their wars and when to make their peaces. The problem lie with their stupid supporters who strive in vain to make angels, demons and Judas Iscariots out of them. With the advent of Arusha Declaration, what will the clueless fanatics on all sides of the political divides say now? It has never been, is not and will never be, about you. It is always about them and the sheer fact that you have been a collateral damage, a bargain chip, does not, in any way conceivable, make you take side other than that of the nation. Let’s the leaders reconcile their wars at the “eating table” and we, the common folks, have peace of mind in our abject poverty and total neglect. Who said that poverty and ignorance and destitution are not preferable to mass killing and senseless destruction?—-By PaanLuel Wel
