THE BEST SOLUTION FOR SOUTH SUDAN CRISIS
THE BEST SOLUTION FOR SOUTH SUDAN CRISIS NOW AND FOREVER
By Dr Isaac Ayii Madut
The only best solution for crisis of South Sudan is dialogue for political solution not war and then embracing of democratic principles for getting leaders in and out of power and bringing into books the perpetrators of crimes against humanity both sides to stands as a warning for future perpetrators so that the innocence lives of South Sudanese be spared for development of this nation now and later,
we had been at war for over 5 decades plus and what we got out of that was more destruction of lives and properties and foundation for more wars as we can see more of the killings are as the results of revenge of the previous wars which communities got a long as they fought with The Government of Khartoum by then, only and only peace is needed now not war which will breeds more wars in time to come and tendency of revenge amongst the communities.
There is a concept of democracy got through bullet not ballot which should be avoided as most people are being push into war for the sake of democracy but instead we should task all the warring bodies to bring their differences on table and restraint from war which will breed more wars and later undemocratic , ungovernable society to whoever would win belief me or not the power got through bullet will never and never implement the principles of democracy properly and that is the very common ground the current government went to the bush and see what happened to democracy , again a section of the same group are now fighting for what they said is lack of democracy and would also continue in the vicious cycle in case this very group of Dr Riek Machar wins through bullet they would not be able to implement the principles of democracy accurately because among them the corruption, sectarianism , tribalism etc are never separated from liberators, so why do we take expensive route to democracy? , instead of pressurizing our government and rebels through international community , civil societies etc and who ever can make them implement free and fair elections comes 2015 would be cheaper than this current move of war another foundations for more wars, more hatred , more revenges, ethnic cohesion, more corruption, lasting conflict etc .
Civic education for post war victims and the societies of South Sudanese , almost every member of community in this country is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) and flash back memories of negative effects of war given the greater times of our lives taken in war than peace which is responsible for the revenge and insecurity we are facing currently , and I don’t blame much if our people resorts into wars in solving their problems because that is where they were born, grew up in it and have become part of their lives little did they know the benefits of peace compare to war, imagine in my assessment of most people commences on face book 90% of people commences supports war in order to show their mighty this is the case of some Dinka and some Nuer ( see face book South Sudanese all over the world) , yet in 21 century people are proud of inventions , innovations and discoveries above all as a nation not tribe but for the case of our people , some are only proud of number of deaths and suffering they inflicted amongst themselves, all this called for counseling , civic education and importance of peaceful coexistent of each community now and after this post conflict , this role could be done as additional mandate by UNMISS , Government and any people of good will , so that our people embrace the goodness of peace than war which is only destructive to lives and properties.
The role of natural resources particularly oil which had extended the competition of super powers like USA and China into our communities by colliding us through politicians in order to gain their interest , therefore I urge my fellow countrymen and particularly leaders to be very careful in allocating the exploitation of resources to those two competing superpowers China and USA be fairly base on their contribution in our struggle and our national development and vision so that we don’t become the victims of their competition , and our people should engage in alternative sources of livelihood like agriculture , business etc not only rely on exhaustive natural resources like oil which had caused a lot of laziness like it is the case with us in south Sudan as the result majority think that only through politics do people gets resources clearly manifested on how people supported the leaders base on tribal line yet the country is endowed with a lot of natural resources apart from oil what we need is man power and skills .
The elections should be conducted through monitoring of International community, AU and IGAD in 2015 and independence electoral commission should be put in place, and multiparty system be embraced so that every party wanting to contest should be given a chance and for sure people of South Sudan are very wise they will vote for a neutral person who would take us for development and with a vision for a better South Sudan for every Citizen regardless of tribe, religion, region and political affiliation.
Lastly , we need the permanent constitution be drafted by involving all the parties, civil societies, religious leaders and every consent citizen voice be put in constitution and term limits for the presidency be fixed for only two terms, so that every person with ambition of becoming president gets it through ballot not bullet .
