David Otim of SPLM/A IO had stolen Medal of Honour from Hero and gives to Robber.

By David Aoloch Bion, Kampala, Uganda

April 27, 2015 (SSB)  —-   On March 15, 2015, David Otim of Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM) In Opposition was interviewed by the Sunday Monitor‘s Erisa Mukiibi Sserunjogi newspaper in Kampala , Uganda .

In that interview, David Otim made 5   misleading statements and two of those are treacherous and iconoclastic crimes,  the two crimes are 1. Otim  hijacked the history of SPLM/A  liberation struggle and he rewrote it, in order to include the intruders  who  were  either spectators or  traitors during war , some of these traitors  stabbed the SPLM/A  movement  at back in the words of Dr John Garang de Mabior in   1990s  . 2.  Otim had stolen the victory of South Sudan hero and he gives it to conman, I mean Otim had stolen the Medal of Honour from the Martyr and he conferred to cheater.

The following are 5 lies.

This is first fallacious and misleading statement David Otim made to Sunday Monitor newspaper in Kampala and here I quoted ‘’ I am here as a guest of state. President Museveni invited us ‘’.

This is false statement. Otim is not guest of state; he is mere resident in Kampala as any other South Sudanese. He is not representative of SPLM/A IO because the office of SPLM/A IO was closed down long time ago. There is no SPLM/A IO office in Kampala.

President Museveni is number ONE ally of Republic of South Sudan in the international politics.  There is no way President Museveni can host the coup plotters. As the whole World know that SPLM/A IO under Riek Machar staged military coup on December 15, 2013.

As the part of protecting legitimate government in Juba from military takeover, President Museveni had to send UPDF to contain the situation.

The Government of Uganda expelled the representatives of SPLM/A IO long time ago because Riek Machar is best of LRA Joseph Kony, this was why Riek was buying airtime for satellite phone of Kony when he was a vice president of South Sudan .

This is the second fallacious and misleading statement made by David Otim  and here I quote ‘’ South Sudan is the result of the 1991 disagreement between Dr . Riek Machar and Dr John Garang ‘’ this  is  false,  this is  hijacking of the history of the liberation struggle  and rewriting it by including traitor  Riek Machar in the glory of history. How can disagreement result into South Sudan . This is a white lie . South Sudan is the result of the 21 year civil war. It is not a result of the disagreement. South Sudan is the result of Comprehensive Peace Agreement ( CPA) negotiated between the Government of Sudan and SPLM/A under the leadership of John Garang . South Sudan is not the result of Khartoum Peace Agreement of Riek in  1997 , if South Sudan were the result of Khartuom Peace , then Otim would have been right because in 1997 Riek Machar  signed Khartoum Peace ,but  there are  no  tangible results  of that agreement now in South Sudan except the papers where it was written .

The third misleading statement made by Otim and here I quote is ‘’ the birth of South Sudan in 2011 was the realization of the vision of Dr Machar ‘’ this is nauseating statement. , This is deconsecrating of the history, this is a stealing of victory from hero Dr .Garang de Mabior and giving to conman Dr Riek Machar.  . How the birth of South Sudan is a realization vision of Dr Machar ?

Riek Machar left SPLM/A in 1991 and he stayed in Khartoum for 11 years when Dr Garang was fighting in the bush . Dr Garang negotiated the birth of South Sudan at  Naivasha in Kenya . The birth of South Sudan was a result of 6 protocols. Which protocols did Riek sign? Riek is not  a signatory to any protocols that give birth to South Sudan . Riek is a traitor in the history of South Sudan and Garang is  hero with confident . So attributing the independence of South Sudan to Riek is stealing of Medal of Honour from Martyr  Dr Garang and conferred to foul player Riek Machar .

The four misleading statement made by Otim and here I quote ‘’ in 2004 during the Rumbek conferences it was Dr Machar who reconciled Dr Garang and President Kiir . This is cherry picking fallacy, where the selfish rascal picks for himself the healthiest fruits and leave rotten fruits  to others . First, there was no big issue between John Garang and Salva Kiir . Salva was asking for  his administrative rights, which were performed by junior officers in the movement. Secondly , there were more  capable  members in Movement who could reconcile Kiir and Garang other than  returnee  Riek Machar  from Khartoum  to do so .

.In 2004  Riek was tip-toeing in the movement affairs. Riek  was recovering from lethargy of insult from movement members  because they were insulting him  for treacherous act of 1991, he did not have time for reconciling the original members .

The fifth misleading statement made by Otim and here I quote ‘’ President Kiir needs to be court –martialled ‘’ . This is escapism. This is what fox does to hunting dog . When the hunting dog chases the fox , the fox would stop and whistles like human being and it start misleading dog , directing dog to wrong direction  . This is what Otim is doing. He said Kiir would be tried instead, it is Riek who would  be tried for staging a coup on December 15 , 2013 .  Who are you deceiving and misleading?.

The sixth misleading statement made by Otim and here I quote is  ‘’ we are talking to them because we are a viable alternative that will take power in Juba ‘’  this is false hope . Riek and his SPLM/A IO are political gogolimbo in Uglish , a Ugandan slang , which means  ’’ failing in everything ‘’ . Riek tried to take power  in 1991 , he failed . Riek tried taking power in 2013, he failed.  Riek tried   to wage war, he failed. Riek called South Sudan to put under UN Trusteeship government but he failed.

Riek can’t take power in Juba because he killed South Sudanese in 1991 and 2013. Period.
