Quote of the Week: Mabioor Garang Mabioor
…it is not people from Bor being targeted…because the Mac Pauls of this world are part of the counter revolution…perhaps he has been sidelined in recent months…there are many politicians from Bor that are part of the conspiracy (and most other nationalities of Soith Sudan) many people from Bor are part of the marauding deathsquads…It would be a shame if these so called Bor politicians use the martyrdom of Comrade Isiah to put pressure on the President to give them jobs…this would be a dishonor to his memory as he did not subscribe to tribal politics…looking at the issue in the context of us against them is what brought us here in the first place…Bor People are not being targeted…it is Patriotic South Sudanese and their friends that are being targeted…I rebuke the attemts by some sectors of Bor community that are making it a tribal issue…it is a war of ideas…not tribes…one group believes in secrarianism and the other in unity of our people…it is the sectarian politicians that have carried the day…and they are the ones establishing the new republic…to come out as one who believes in unity in the South is equivalent to socio-political suicide…

”South Sudan is devoid of a true Pan African identity. It is characterized by tribal divisions, thus making the equitable sharing of the nation’s resources a daunting task. The results of sectarian politics are the emergence of a new form of marginalisation and exploitation. The same policy of ‘divide and rule’ that was employed by the former enemy has now been carried over to the new Republic. This begs the question: “…if we cannot be different from those in Khartoum, why are we in Juba?” If we cannot become different from our former enemies whom we thought were wrong, why can’t we just return home and apologize?” – Capt. Mabioor Garang de Mabioor, in the article “A Call for a Fundamental Change in South Sudan“
