Vice President, Dr. Riak Machar, Toxic Politicking in Jonglei State.
By Heskey Deng
Just before devil activities rain heavily in the Jonglei State, Jonglei state was diplomatic place for living, although Murle were present with their illicit bustle, it was average, civilians’ lives was normal as brothers and sisters. Having no demonstrated eyes and mouths of hatred and killing among the tribe to tribe {S}. People love themselves like their selves; there were no tribalism and nepotism between Nuer and Dinka.
There were no conflicts, cattle rustling between Nuer and Dinka nor Murle; civilians were in good life of sharing pasture lands and swallow wells, as I heard from elder {S} that, during dry seasons, Nuer cattle keepers used to derived their herds of cattle to swamp areas {toch} in Duk County {dinka bor}, located at north of Bor Town, they camped together still the rain season began, likewise if there was/were floods that flooding the Dinka territory, then Dinka cattle keepers moved with their cattle to Nuer territories, they shared the same cattle camped, grazing lands or pasture and they don’t having problems. No habit of stealing someone cattle and killing, while their few gun {s} weren’t uses for killing, they use them for show up and protect cattle and children from wild animals and Murle’s criminal. Life was so enjoyable for them by then than today.
By upset, things fall aside, when a man extreme dislike other peoples’ stability and peaceful, stretch his disastrous lip to wipe out good life of people of Jonglei State. While left his State in peaceful atmosphere and came to inflict his cleansing politics on civilians of Jonglei state. Fiddle the youth, elders and chiefs with unsuccessful coup that results to rupture of mutual-relationship and stability with Dinka Bor and tribe {s} of Jonglei in whole.
So far, the virus which motionless affected civilians of world known state and largest province in the Country up to now, doesn’t existed from nowhere, not even God made, it is man- made, so the current vice President Riak Machar, is man who brought suffering, disaster, killing, tribalism, nepotism and cattle rustling, turned the state to be violence and bloodshed for all past decades up to day because Machar taught the civilians with new cultures, which wasn’t existed since the creation.
Even so, no smoke without fire, the mindless killing, cattle rustling and waylay and also the rebellion on the ground, were caused by Vice President, as he opened way to his junior comrades to rebelled against the national government if they aren’t satisfactory {leadership and money}, so Riak shouldn’t pretended or distanced himself from Jonglei issues because he was causative of problems.
Of course, I can’t blame those who participated in 1991 massacre because they are perfectly innocent, they were extremely fools or deceived by the doctor of bloodbath and greedy leader, but bad of it, we dropped thousands of brilliant and important citizens in the communities {Lou Nuer and Dinka Bor}, they died soon due to misleading coup, while the Man, who deceived them, is now enjoys the fruits of the country, which he betrayed and bump off his compatriotic comrades, and also fuelled the conflicts among the tribes, leave them in puzzlement.
More so, it is painful as Riak Machar enjoys his second position while people of Jonglei state are at rest suffering under his course or mission. No one day, Riak’s pay trip to Lou Nuer counties to saying regret, I deceived you with fail mission and to compensated the harm, he just laugh and smile if he heard that peoples are died in the areas, Riak should feel same the cup because he is the one, who dispensed the arms which tear down the state now.
However, it is lesson that can’t be forget because what Riak did in Jonglei state is/was beyond destroyed of Sodom and Gomorrah, by misinformed and illusory the youth with futile mission, cracked the admirable life, and then left them in bewilderment living.
In conclusion, any person {s}, who heard about civilians of Jonglei state recently, as infringe people, don’t wind up that, they are violent because you have been misinformed about them. They are nice, peacefully peoples, but it was the greedy politician and power struggle that mystified and changes the atmosphere of living, which made them wild.
