Did you know Minister Makuei Lueth holds 7 false beliefs in this conflict?
6 min readBy David Aoloch Bion
The seven false beliefs .
1, He believes that anyone who is appointed by presidential decree with super scale salaries, allowances is the only supporter of government. This is false. Millions support the government without those privileges.
- He believes anyone whose name is in Government pay sheet is the only supporter of the government, this is false, Millions support the government when their names are not in pay sheet.
- He believes that he is only best friend of President Kiir in Bor community. This is false. There are thousand friends of President Kiir in Bor though; they don’t meet with him on daily basis.
- He believes that anyone who say ‘’No to Rebels without justification or valid argument is the only supporter of the government , this is false. Makuei presents the truth of the government in naked judgment while others dressed up the truth of the government in sound judgment . He is good in leading argument where he says no or yes to any question or statement , but other are philosophers; they go beyond yes or no answers with valid explanation.
- He believes that everyone must speak like government spokesperson, this is false, there must be a different between views presented by the official spokesperson and common government supporters . There are some views that can’t be expressed by the spokesperson but can be expressed by the pro –government newspapers or writers. This is why you hear in some countries, government pay secretly independent journalists to spin –doctoring the government image. All of us are supporter of the government but we can’t blindly support the government without pointing out its failures.
- He believes that, he is philosopher lawyer. This is false , because he has no conceptual understanding of the issues, he muddles issues, he contradicted himself four times, when I talked to him in his office. At first , he questioned me why should I write about leaked AU Report , later , he contradicted this by saying , ‘’time will come when the government will ask those who are quoted in the AU report’’ .
- He believes that anyone who is in the middle, who balances issues in the conflict, is rebel. This is false; the solution to this conflict lie in the middle, not with extremists at right or at the left of the conflict . .Makuei mind is just preoccupied and obsessed by word ’’ rebel’’ like the song of deaf man, which he sings everyday because he can’t forget it nor he learn a new song.
The solution of any conflict always lie in the middle unless otherwise , there is absolute winner because the two conflicting parties are always far apart , one is in the far right , the other is in far left , and to agree or compromise , they must come into the middle , where there must be concession on both side .
This is why I say the solution of the conflict lie in the middle. If the solution did not lie in middle, then , military solution would have been the option but it has been repeated several times that the conflict will not be resolved through a military mean by both Kiir and Riek .
For example, in December 2013 , President Kiir was asked by a BBC journalist ‘’ are you going to share power with Riek Machar ? Mr . Kiir answered ‘’ No , which power ? I can’t reward Riek with power ‘’ but now Mr Kiir is offering Riek the position of the 2 Vice president in power sharing . .Mr . Kiir did change his original stand because of middle ground principles.
Also Riek in December 2013 , Riek told the same BBC that Kiir has lost legitimacy therefore , he had to step down , Now , Riek did change his original stand of Kiir must step down because of middleness am talking about.
To cut the long story short, On April 8, 2015, I ran to Makuei Lueth for help. Because my writing has been condemned by all Dinka Bor. I introduced myself like this ‘’ Uncle , am David Aoloch Bion , am student at KIU , We ,the youth are divided , some are supporting the government , some are supporting the rebellion . Some are in the middle , so am one of those in middle who fairly balances the issues in the conflicts at both sides in writing and my writing has been condemned by all Dinka Bor now . I want your judgment based on my writing too ‘’
Makuei replied ‘’ According to what you have just said now that you are ‘’in middle’’, you are rebel or with former detainees, so you can’t complain to me . Secondly, I have not read any single articles you wrote, so I don’t know your writing ‘’
Oh, my God. Am I rebel?
From disinterested point of view, Makuei response to me is nothing but snobbishness and snubbing at their peaks.
How can I write 57 articles defending the government and putting the government in very good position in the conflict and Makuei snubbed me and insulted me as a rebel?
How can I write 57 articles condemning the rebellion of SPLM/A IO in the worst terms possible and Makuei snubbed me and insulted me as rebel?.
I noticed Makuei is so arrogant to people because he is a friend to President Kiir and he is inside the shadow of President Kiir but Makuei does not know that Kiir can fire him with or without notice any time .
Makuei is selfish and jealous of other people who sounds, , if Makuei was judicious , he would have appreciated me and thank me for my contribution.
Rebel youth are explaining, how the rebels are fighting a just war in social media like facebook , on the other hand ,I am also explaining , how rebels are killing innocent people for sake of power only .
Rebel youth are explaining , how the government has failed South Sudan , I am also explaining, how the rebels have been contributing to failure of South Sudan too, how rebels have been the part and parcel of the failure
Rebel youth have coined term ‘’ luethizing ‘’on facebook to demonize Makuei, but I serious dismiss this and rubbished it. And now Makuei is calling me a rebel. ? , hahahaha
Indeed, am in the middle because I say ‘’ Government has failed but failure of the government do not justify the war of Riek or SPLM/A IO. Government has failed but SPLM/A IO and SPLM G-10 are the part of the failure of the government’’
Because of the seven reasons above , I conclude that , Makuei has a phantom head or he has the head but a blank head .
ENDNOTE
Am a supporter of the Government, who wants presidential term limits in the constitution.
Am a diehard of President Kiir , who wants peaceful transfer of power from one President to another.
