"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.
(1) “Murle population is estimated at 85,000 according to the disputed census of 2010.”
This is shocking because it appears, not only that the Deputy Chief does not know when the census took place, he does not even know the demographics of his own people. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (ssnbs.org), the population of Murle was 148,475 at the time of the census, which was conducted in 2008 NOT 2010.
(2) “In 2010 after the Republic of South Sudan gain (sic) independence…”
This is mind numbing and a bad joke that is not funny if this was an attempted humour. This indicates a genuine lack of knowledge on behalf of His Excellency because the world knows that South Sudan gained independence on the 9th of July 2011 NOT 2010.
If the Deputy Chief of Mission does not know the year in which the country he represents, at a very high-level, gained independence maybe he should not be serving. Dhanojak Obongo should stop embarrassing South Sudan with such writings and focus on his work or he should be fired, period.
