Hatred and selfish deep rooted in South Sudan

March 4, 2015 (SSB) — Why hatred? When I read some articles from my dear opinion writers, I failed some time to understand their point of argument.

Some writers keep exchanging unnecessary words against one another trying to justify that, during the war we from our community were the brave, and so tribes were the coward.

If I may ask those writers, can anyone be able to tell me their whereabouts during the war? Were they in which front-line? I am 100% sure that, some of those writers were not even there during the war, some did not even contributed 1% to the liberation of this nation, but preventing on this website to be the one who had contributed a lot more than the rest or his community more more than the other.

To me, these are baseless argument which will not bear fruit to you and your community, instead, it will build up more hatred and the end result will be disintegration of South Sudanese communities among the nations. And if that happened, what will be your benefit, especially you those who like preaching hatred on the website?

What will you guys gain out of those selfish words? And if one tribe left in this country to own it and everything’s in it, will that tribe enjoy it? I do not think.

This country is good because of it diversity, because of it tribes, I do not think whether any of the tribe can live and enjoy this large land without others tribes. Even though you and your greedy tribes are left to rule and own this land, still there will be some areas you will not be able to enjoy its fruits. You will not enjoy the goodness of this nation even.

You guys need to know important of having your brothers, sisters, father and the mothers, without them, you alone will not enjoy your life in the world.

Let us stop hatred and start living with one another, because still even though you are given this country to own it, you will still do nothing on it and with it.

Dear writers, let us come back to our normal senses, I know some of you might have been in one way or other traumatized with hatred, but still there is time to reverse our hatred before it totally get out of control.

What I know, if not all, some of us contributed to the liberation of our land, so let not politicians with their selfish gain divide us for their own benefit or interests.

If you are able to see and judge the current situation, you may regret, if you contributed to it in one way or other. Just see now, who is suffering in this crisis? It is not these innocent people, and the politician to whom we trust to follow them with their useless ideologies, are they one enjoying abroad with abroad with their families, while the common citizens are left to die in the remote villages.

Dear brothers and sisters of our land, 10 of our innocent people are dying every single hour across the country as a result of this senseless war, some have no food to eat, some have no houses to sleep, some have no water to drink and we are enjoying our big stomach or belly with fried chickens, meat and fish while the innocent people stayed for more than a week without food

I know one day one time, the same people who are enemies to one another, will be the first people to site in one office and eat on one table.

But the common citizens will remain with bitterness and hatred because of the cause of what I called war of struggle to loot public resources, decent houses, luxury cars, and investment in big stomach or belly.

Shame to them, who wanted to fore-long this senseless war

 Shame to them, who continues to preach hatred on the website,

Shame to them who wanted to benefit from innocent people blood
