South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir (C) acknowledges his supporters as he arrives to address a rally at John Garang’s Mausoleum in the capital Juba March 18, 2015.

April 23, 2015 (SSB)  —-   In the on going discussion about South Sudan war, the controversial issue has been and continue to be that whether a coup was actually attempted in Juba or not. On the one hand, some argue that there wasn’t a coup whatsoever, instead, they say Salva Kiir staged coup on himself and use it as a way to hunt down his political opponents in the Party.

From this perspective, It’s believe that the war started when President Salva Kiir’s bodyguards from the Dinka, a tribe he comes from forcefully tried to disarm his other bodyguards from Nuer, a tribe own by Dr. Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon. On the other hand, how ever, many others most of them foreigners have over twisted the whole episode in to a very wild media show.

According to many voices, South Sudan was going to be a failed state already because of so many because. In the words of Hilda Johnson a the then President Kiir’s counterpart heading another administrative branch aka (UNMISS) for almost a decade, South Sudanese leaders most of whom she had observed very closely luck capacity to run a successful state

But certain voices involved in the definition of our conflict, settled on President Salva Kiir.They say that he is in fact the problem in the country. Kiir is accused of tribalism, Dictatorship, corruption visionlessness, and therefore, all the luck of development in the country is blame on him.

How ever, the most astonishing thing to me and other millions of us is that most of the leaders putting blame on President Kiir are the same his former officials and also the same former foreign countries which were working with Kiir since 2005 when leader was assassinated for a reason known to his killers.

Thought I conceded that in President Kiir’s government there was a corruption lack of vision in term of development and many others I insist that President Kiir is Not the problem of South Sudan.South Sudan problem is much bigger than just President Kiir, Riek Machar, corruption, tribal contentions or any other media intentional dubbed issues imported and used as confusing primary definition to our conflict.

My view on the war in our country, the current war in our country is a identical twin to the UN investigated sudden death of Dr. Garang Mabior Atem. I maintain that things don’t just happened for no reasons. They occur as a result of series of events that help make them happen.Somebody some where may have been following us as we were struggling to have our own political freedom.

That somebody is none other than imperialist group found on western sphere of the world. They group treated SPLM the same way they had treated South Africa’s ANC. For example, before they could let ANC take and control leadership in South Africa, they had to made sure that their interests were protected such their controlled millions of hectares of land were not to be tempered with by the Liberation organisation government of the ANC.

In our SPLM like ANC, is seen by the west as major liberation organisation that is so followed by majority of citizens in region where their economical interest is buried in,which is (the then Southern Sudan)

How ever, with wise leader Dr. John Garang its then chairman, there was no way they would secure their interest in Sudan whether united or separated.

When John Garang was killed, it was a relief to those with appetite in our land they now know that those left were just bunch of dullards who will not post any potential threat to the America’s interest in the South. They also know their interest is safer with Sudan divided some thing wanted by Southerners. In the Southern Sudan, then we were frustrated in the political idea of one united Sudan death due to his death.

Almost immediately after Garang’s many funerals ended, all American agencies humanitarian as well as security ones flock into Southern Sudan. Here they were tasked with molding SPLM/A in to Kiir SPLM/A that would be dictated by Washington, run GOSS on decisions seconded by Washington.

To new SPLM/A, chairman Mr. Kiir he was treated exactly the way any boob is treated. They love him up. They gave him Texas cowboy hut, walking stick, among many adult toys that works attract the mind of a dunce leader like our Kiir. To president Kiir and those around him allying his government and country to America was a healthy choice that foolish Garang was reluctant to consider.

In the honeymoon of Kiir and Washington, Washington had already penetrated the holly SPLM/A which they were not knowing its open and its end under Garang. Inside the Party perimeters Its agencies were hooking up with money thirty senior members. They were making sure that who were they and who were still with Garang’s oriented tendencies.Those with Garang principles were not Good guys to American interest.

So their new ally aka Salva Kiir has to make promise them that he kept them at bay. In Kiir -America honeymoon, corruption and other malpractices were encourage and looted money taken to storing in America’s banks and those of their allies.The fact that such weakness would be used later to incite population to remove Kiir if he does not meet the expectations.

America made sure that no development happen because should some development like roads kick on people will like their government and therefore will never accept to turn against it even if America would want it remove.

In sum, yes, I agree with voices which state that Kiir is visionless corrupted but to me, it’s just like those other bunch of corrupt simpletons in SPLM. But again, all these malpractices were encouraged as ways of dismantling SPLM because America’s companies have been deny chances to buy millions of hectares of land for far too long.

So, President Kiir is not a dictator, not tribalist, not even the problem of RSS, but to me he is a airhead, who lacks political wisdom.
