4 min readPersonal letter to The President of the Republic of South Sudan, H.E. Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit and SPLM-DC Chairman Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin.
Dear Mr. President Kiir and Chairman Dr. Lam,
I would like to join my college Peter Modi Kujjo by writing a personal letter to both of you for the greatest thing you have done. Allow me to express gratitude’s I have felt when I saw in photo both of you sitting side by side in Nairobi, Kenya.
You have done a good thing to our new nation the republic of South Sudan. Your political maturity have sent message to every corner of the republic of South Sudan. You have cleared all prejudices, doubts, prejudgments people perceived towards you as our leaders. Your actions have indeed raised high above than what people expect, you have done your part, my congratulations to both of you.
This is personal letter to congratulate both of you for the courage, strength, nationalism, and conflict resolution you have demonstrated between two of you without involvement of any third party. It takes many parties to resolve differences in our families, communities, churches, counties, states and government.
Your coming together has taught me a lesson, lesson I believe may influence many South Sudanese out there that our strength lays within our unity. A unity of purpose to rally every South Sudanese citizen behind the two of you in jumpstarting this three month old nation on right foundation and direction so that our dignity and the way we were is fully restored.
Mr. President Kiir and Chairman Dr. Lam, your coming together speaks volumes, volumes in itself set a good example for a nation to follow. The United States for example, is a strong nation on the surface of the earth as we can all witness to-day; is because after Democratic Party and Republican Party disagree on issues that divide them, they recess, retreat and come up with a better policy solution to bring under control substances which divides them the most.
Without reservation Mr. President Kiir and Chairman Dr. Lam, I would like to propose on your ceremony that the people of the Republic of South Sudan should present both of you with an award titled “Nobel Peace Maker” for the unique approach you have undertaken. It is a remarkable achievement which in my view, cannot go un-recognized as a major breakthrough and successful steps taken by two of you after independence of the South Sudan; and this implies that our hopes is getting stronger; hence South Sudan will be moving in a full motion to meet its needs and wants in the areas of goods and services, private sectors, government sectors, and the international community presence will be well handled.
Pastors and believers on this forum may agree with me that sometimes it is difficult even in the church for believers to make peace and resolve their differences; however, our two leaders as politicians managed and prove to us that if they can come together who else out there cannot join the united boat “the republic of South Sudan”?
Mr. President Salva Kiir, Dr. Lam and the entire citizens of South Sudan, let us join hands in developing the new Republic of South Sudan. Let our focus be continues innovative improvement strategies till South Sudan attain its potentials. Let us get off from our comfortable zones and practically contribute to the betterment of South Sudan.
Now I realize the fact that the ruling party and minority party sits side by side, we all equally share the responsibility, answerable and accountable to the people of the Republic of South Sudan. The bottom line you have set is to help president Kiir and the people of South Sudan succeed. I would like to appeal to Diaspora and people at home, professionals, experts, intellectuals, politicians and South Sudanese from all works of life to stage skills they posses to uplift the Republic of South Sudan. Let us take our shoes off, take our hoes and jump on mud and start digging and cultivating.
If we have better ideas how to make South Sudan great, President Salava Kiir and Chairman Dr. Lam as we can see from their actions are ready and prepared to listen and move our beloved county forward.
Please join me in congratulating two leaders for their noble peacemaking historic achievement.
Sincerely
Hearty Ritti
SPLM-DC USA.
