Nyandeng Chol Atem’s Crocodile Tears on August 17th
7 min readBy Kuach Deng, Calgary, Canada
August 19, 2015 (SSB) — In Dinka Culture, when a woman or an elder man cries, it always causes bloodshed because young people would respond it so harshly as an abuse against their mother or elder. Nyandeng today’s crying, would have resulted in mass killing if isn’t because it was in foreign nation.
That being said, I do not know if Nyandeng Chol is aware about this culture or she doesn’t know it .When a woman cries it is a curse for those who abuse her but if she cries to stir a problem, she always pay it back so heavily. However, as a mother of the nation, she should watch out of what she says and what she does instead of being careless spewing harmful consequences through her tears. Nyandeng cries in Juba in December of 2013 and her first cry was deadly.
Lately, Nyandeng Chol Atem cries on the last minutes on August 17, 2015 at the peace negotiation venue in Ethiopia Addis Ababa just because president Kiir Mayardit asked the meditators for more time to consult with his constituencies before he could sign the IGAD –Plus recipe that could cause more suffering to people of South Sudan.Nyandeng and likes do not care about future consequences of their rush.
This cry and these tears were fake as you can see from her dry face nothing shows she is crying! Does Nyandeng care much about South Sudan when she spent almost 2 years in exile luxury hotels? Charity starts at home! Did Nyandeng visit Jonglie since this war broke out to live in reality? She should spell it out clear that they still want the president out of the power but not for the suffering of people of South Sudan.
However, two vultures, SPLM-IO in person of Riek Machar and Pagan Amum of SPLM-Detainees or G10 have signed the sellout document because they careless about what is good for the nation and I do not know if Nyandeng is ready to ululate for them when she finishes from her fake crying?
Nyandeng did cry before and her first cry on December 2013 was a call of sinister. When she cried that all Nuer citizens were killed in Juba, her cry has caused a mass rebellion in most towns especially in the greater Upper Nile states. Nyandeng cry was a curse because her wicked tears forced Peter Gatdet to start murdering his own troops or colleagues the Dinka soldiers in his division in Bor-Nyandeng’s hometown and I wonder if her relatives were spared because she cry wolf?
However, according to survivals and some eye witnesses, many innocent people regardless of their age, gender were aimlessly murdered as long as they were Dinka because of Nyandeng evil tears. Many soldiers who were of Naath origins were misled by Nyandeng sinister tears and so they rebelled in Unity state, Malakal and all major towns in Upper Nile states and again murdered their Dinka colleagues because Nyandeng fuelled the war of tribalism through her tears.
Nyandeng was naïvely crying to enflame the war and grab international media intentions with hope that President Salva Kiir Mayardit would be forced to resign and she and her rebel colleagues would take over the leadership but she was wrong. Indeed, she left the nation with shame on her face and she is still cladded with same shameful attire that why she breaks down anytime not because she needs peace more than any person.
Nyandeng reaped the same seeds she sows as you all know how many Jonglie citizens especially Dinka citizens have paid heavy price. People who lost their relatives and loved one in Upper Nile states should ask Nyandeng to explain herself better, if people are shy from challenging her as she is called the mother of the nation. God Almighty who creates use equally in blood and flesh will not leave her alone and Nyandeng is living with guilty spirit that why she breaks down easily not because of peace.
Again I still ask myself and I find it hard to believe! Was maan Mabior, Nyandeng Chol Atem was genuinely crying for the peace failure this time or was her tears were crocodile one as usual? Again, was maan Mabior, Mother of the nation was practicing her magical cry so the IGAD-Plus spared her and her rebels colleagues those of Riek Machar and Pagan Amum from the sanction’s hook and again sanction President Salva Kiir Mayardit only for he asked for more time to have a meaningful, everlasting and good peace to be signed in good faith when everyone is consulted?
In contrast, a hungry hyena would blame an old wise man for locking up his Byre so tightly and leaves her hunts for the whole night until the morning without a prey. Otherwise, Nyandeng have wasted her tears because peace is a process but not a kangaroo or a marathon to congratulate who crossed the line first and scold the slower.
Dr.Riek Machar and Pagan Amum are like clever quick fox who thinks very quickly on a way to cheat friends but sometimes he finds himself in deep trap because he only think in box. As such, they want to speed the peace process to outdo the Generals who have recently defected from their rebellion camp before they join the peace and have their share acknowledged. However, nothing can surprise anyone who is up to date with current war. Many people know that SPLM-IO and SPLM –D or G-10 care much about their seats, they want to sign this peace signed immediately when in fact it will not be a lasting peace. They know Addis Ababa always produces broken agreements but they want to portray themselves in the South Sudanese public eyes as the most peace loving leaders.
However, SPLM-IO and SPLM-D are opportunists and exploiters who want to deny many stakeholders a share without envisioning the dangerous result lying ahead. Before anyone rushes to sign a peace, that person should know any South Sudanese group regardless of their size and number, is needed to be included for South Sudan to enjoy a genuine peace lest they want this peace to be violated before they leave Addis Ababa.
To refresh your mind comrades, who does not feel and smell more innocent death if Peter Gatdet plus the generals are left out in jungle and sing peace oyeee?
Therefore, I Congratulate President Salva Kiir Mayardit for being wise and patient to see this disaster coming! South Sudan needs an everlasting and inclusive peace which would be accepted and signed by all South Sudanese stakeholders. South Sudan government must wait until a good peace that would stop more suffering to be signed even if this peace would come at turtle’s speed.
Meanwhile, Let Nyandeng crocodile tears flood Addis Ababa because her tears are not genuinely of mother of the nation but of an evil stepmother who wish nothing good for others but to herself! Otherwise, Why Nyandeng cries for peace when in fact she did nothing tangible when she was a true mother of the nation especially when South Sudan was booming and in harmony? Nyandeng brought shame and tinted image of Dr. Garang’s family by betraying Garang’s noble character to join Reik Machar senseless rebellion which caused the second massacre in Bor because of her tears.
Maan Mabior’s December cry wolf and her tears have caused mass murder of South Sudanese civilians especially in the Greater Upper Nile states more than what she reported in Juba. However, her recently tears will be in vain and her former cry wolf will haunts her for the rest of her life.
Nyandeng Chol Atem needed to be counseled because she is suffering from arrogance disease called leadership syndrome because she thinks she should be the leader of the nation because she is Garang Mabior’s widow the founder of SPLM/A she thinks she is everything after Garang.
Nyandeng Chol is and would remain as the mother the nation but her name will not be the same as before December 2013 and so if someone is closer to Nyandeng, please nudge her slightly to stop crying in the public because her tears are killing.
