June 23, 2015 (SSB) — As the concern citizen of the youngest country, then I want to tell our people more about the rotten politics which has already destroyed our country. The more politicians in the country , the more violences. Everyone is a politician in the country and that is why most people are interesting in politics.
Whenever politics comes in our mind the first thing that occur in our minds is corruption and killings of our citizens since and then,but in actual politics is abroad, complicated subject.It involves issues like diplomacy,war, government finance ,and such.It is also a significant part of your life, since its what dictates how you are allowed to live in this world. So it good ideas to understand it sometimes.
And actual, the world politics is bit more complicated than seems to be like the ”tribal politics” which kills our people in the country for along time. But our country politics do not have room for well educated people to involve in politics.The people who have bright vision for nation do not allow to enter in this complex system.
Our people who believed themselves to be politicians do not have knowledge about the types of the governments, and how they works around the world.They do not have ideas to learn about the governments of other countries as well as to compare it with their own government, which does not respected international humanitarian laws.They can also need to know why our country is not interacts well with other countries.
Any country ‘s constitution has allowed the people to have freedom of speech. The lawmakers from the country have rights to respected the liberty of the citizens of the people, but in the country like South Sudan, the rights of citizens have already taken by the government.The government is always threatening to kill them, whenever the citizens want to raise up their voices.Is this the government which we had brought from Arab, which turn itself to kills our citizens today?What is the reason we had been struggled for 21 years?
You better understand the political ideology in the country.
The history has taught us for the reason why the political ideology and beliefs were formulated to kills most people from our citizens.What has been happening since and then will be eye opening experiences for you in many cases. The past tells us much about this brutal killings which going on even today.
As new generation, its better to research the history of this political party which killings our citizens.Its importance to read SPLM political manifestos, read their policies, and what is their goal and where they want to taking us to in the future. Do their policies and their vision make sense? The current events tells us all about them.Why these current leaders want to finish us in the country?
The history of the political party tells us where the thing started in the past.Again, this historical aspect can teach you much about where the thing started and why we do not able to stop these things from happening again. What do we expect to get after we have killed our citizens in the country?
Back to history of the people of South Sudan.
Dinka hate Nuer to death but the Nuer people love the Dinka to live peaceful in this world. These three tribes are Nilotic people of South Sudan.Nuer, Dinka and Shuluk tribe. They are now killing each other daily in the country.
In 2002 in Ethiopian refugee camp, fighting happened between Anyuak tribe and Dinka tribe at block 12. Fighting continued for some days,Ethiopian rebels involved in fighting and killed Dinka tribe. Sooner than later, Nuer arrived to rescue Dinka tribe.Fighting stopped and Anyuak with their rebels were defeated. Their security was maintained by Nuer tribe in that times.
Most people from Nuer tribe were killed, on the day, Dr John passed away in 2005. Paulino Matip declared war against Arab with in Khartoum, but those who got lost were Nuer tribe due to that, they love Dinkas.
Years ago , fighting happened between Dinka tribe and Turkana tribe in Kakuma refugees camp in Kenya. Turkana tribe killed most people from Dinka, but within one day and hours, Nuer tribe arrived to rescue Dinka. They had protected them and maintained their safety within Camp.What is wrong with Dinka people hating Nuer people to death?Is this what people say that, kindness is the part of weakness?
Our culture taught us that people are equal and that is why we are always respect the rights of individual and their dignities in the country. Murle elder who is Ismail Konya said in 2003 that, good leader will come from Nuer tribe. He said that at where people met for political rally in Khartoum. And peace be with all of us sooner than later in the country. All we need is great leader who will promote Nationalism.
