South Sudanese are very Hard to Acknowledge their Mistakes

The current South Sudanese civil war will take lengthier to end because our people are very stiff to acknowledge their mistakes. If Riek Machar and Kiir Mayardit could accept that they have failed the country and they will not participate in South Sudan coming election simply.

Our ordinary citizens can comprehend themselves and reconciliation;peace, stability and development could come easily to our country. However, both leaders doesn’t implicit what’s factual and iniquitous and this is why we’re fighting ourselves started from Great Equatroia, Bhar el Ghazal up to Upper Nile region because our ideologies are the similar.

The same thing to Ajak Deng Chiengkou of SBS Dinka radio in Australia, when South Sudanese Australians tells Mr Ajak Deng Chiengkou that you have failed Dinka community and you have lost vision and mission or code of conduct of SBS Dinka Radio and you have involved your political interest in the radio while serving community with different opinions. He denied those facts.

When people tells him that Dinka radio wasn’t given to Dinka community by Australian government to be used for individuals or friends and also and radio wasn’t given to be used to interview people who will never add anything to the Dinka community in Australia or Australian community at large.

Mr Ajak replied to concerned members with unpleasant month like of Michael Makuei Lueth and Malaak Ayuen of SSTV full of insults. People told him that SBS Dinka radio wasn’t given to us by the government to be used to interview South Sudanese rebels or government official every time and radio wasn’t given to be used in Eastern state and left out the rest of states and territories in Australia.

He doesn’t accepted the veracities instead of him creating fabrications on social media that there are people who intimidated him or wanted to kill him, What for to kill him? Why would people kill him when they’re telling actualities about the radio? Therefore, in that scenario any person can ratify that South Sudanese are very hard to acknowledge their blunders.

To tell you frankly, SBS Dinka radio was created to close the gap between Dinka community, indigenous and none indigenous communities in Australia.The radio was given to Dinka community to let news or any other important information reaches the oldest and other people whose English language is too low. The SBS Dinka radio was given to our community to educate ourselves about our rights and freedom in Australia.

Additionally, Dinka radio was given to us to let Dinka people learn basic things that they needs in their life like Australian laws, childcare policy, education for kids who drop out in school, old people and new arrivals. Other important things like Centre link issues, health issues, transport issues, drug and alcohol the big challenge at the moment.Culture awareness, domestic violence on women and integration of our community into Australia lifestyle.Mr Ajak have little or never come across those things community needed to be aware of them.

To sum up, Ajak Deng Chiengkou need to listen to the members of Dinka community who have raised their voices high because of their worries about our future in Australia. Also, Dinka community leaders in all states need to question Ajak Deng because Mr radio presenter has fallen the community and community be the victim in any way round.

When time comes for the Australian government to review radio policies and found out that nothing has been delivered to the community there’ll be high chances of losing our Dinka radio. But why do we want that mistake to happen to our radio when people can prevent it earlier?

I’m not against interviews he makes with those pervert South Sudanese politicians but not always. Mr producer need to balance program because there are several sectors need to be tackled. Ajak Deng need to bring Australian communities together so that people can exchange new ideas about theirs living in Australia and also to strengthen their unity within the country.
