Special Report: South Sudan’s Chinese oil puzzle
2 min read—————————-

Mourn the INDEPENDENCE OF RSS!!! Isn’t it too unfortunate that the China in this book, driven by, and still is as the current standoff with Japan attests, nothing more than “national humiliation” would be inflicting the same on RSS? What do psychologists call such case scenario: the bullied excelling in bullying? Anyway, like the Chinese themselves, the best revenge, rather a course of response/action, is to use this humiliation as an engine for self-strengthening by acquiring wealth (oil and Arable land we have in abundance–using oil revenue to fuel agro-industrialization) to gain power to earn respect. But do we feel ashamed? Do our leaders look in the mirror of reality around them? Is anyone outraged by this article that the much hyped independence is just but a mirage? If century of subjugation by the north was the engine of our long opposition to and separation from the north, would it be too far-fetched to ponder that stark reality of post-independence South Sudan would engender the same kind of realization of and resistance to present quagmire we are entangled in?
