"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
SON: Daddy, I have a history assignment on the death of the founding fathers of the SPLM/A. How did they die?
DAD: Son, they died a horrible death. For example, Salva Kiir, the longest serving deputy of John Garang and the first president of RSS was lynched to death on May 16th 2017 in Juba by an angry, hungry mob, commanded by wounded heroes and widows of the martyrs, accusing him of corruption and self-enrichment at their expenses.
SON: Really? Were the perpetrators apprehended?
DAD: No son, the deceased left impunity behind; There was no law in the country to persecute them. It was every South Sudanese for himself and God for us all!
