REAL VILLAINS ON THE LOOSE.

First, I will never be groomed for an inferior mindset to never speak up. I will stand in his face and tell him because I’ll not endorse the position taken by our South Sudan’s brother Mabior Garang, advocating for Riek,a rebel as a good intention. From millions of viewers around the globe who are neither supporting Riek or Kiir but the innocent civilians but how dare him? His position should be advocating for the civilians and condemning politicians from both Riek’s and Kiir side for creating an inhumane disaster to the people of south Sudan.
If I sleep well, eat well and my children go to school every day, and the rest of the children in South Sudan are suffering then I shouldn’t be quite or even blame the victims for their fate like some of us here. Ever since the violence erupted, I have observed that most people who were educated here in diaspora were encouraging Riek as someone who has taken a bold step for liberation. Not only that, they hated it if you mentioned Nyandeng and her son who are openly among the ones who orchestrated mass killing that is going on our country.
I was heart broken when I saw the woman who proudly claims the name ‘Mother of the nation’ in her interview on Uganda TV, jumps from one point to the other making senseless statements about this war. She stated that real leaders should protect the people and does not see the reason why Salva was not putting down arms, and should not fight the ‘REBELS’ or else there will be massive loss on both sides. Yes, it was clear that our Mother of the nation was portraying herself as the evil mother who was false fully claiming the child to be hers, and when King Solomon tested them by saying the child would rather be cut in half, she was the first one to vote for the destruction while the real biological mother said that she rather not have the child but hear it alive.
She was clearly aware that there will be loss on both sides, but it did not matter much to her since there will not be names in the list of casualties such as, Nyankwir Garang, Chol Garang, MabiorGarang etc. If she said that she was the real leader, then why is she the one with less empathy and not being proactive here? I’m not taking side with Kiir, but he was going to be punished by southerners through elimination in the 2015 elections which was just 2 years away. She is simply after her own personal gain. She constantly complains about the bad roads while she was the minister for roads and failed to implement the project she was assigned for. She also said that she was unable to practice her farming because the Govt. which did not support farmers despite being the lucky among the only 1% of women who had means to successfully practice large scale farming because she can afford both skilled and non skilled labour as well as equipment for farming.
Illiterate people could be wise and be great leaders with vision bigger than their ego, so I will not blame that on her rudimental formal education which she was lucky to have among the 99% of women in her generation who were unlucky. But this does not give her a green card to sniff her nose in every move of the country because we have well educated women such as Ann Ito or Mrs. Majak who could bring real change. However, these women among the few educated others have not ventured their way into top positions like she has been doing thinking that the SPLS/M belongs to her family.
Nyandeng caused this mess if people do not understand. She has solely acted on behalf of the entire community by accepting apologies from the murderer. This was herself and Riek under her own roof on behalf of the Bor massacre which took place in 1991. For this reason, I am left too skeptical if this was an apology but rather plans for even bigger atrocities.
When we pass on our genes to our offsprings, they were meant to carry on our legacy, personality etc. Feeling sad for Dr. John Garang who might be watching and deeply regretting his only one mistake for ever asking a dumb woman’s hand in marriage who later dominated his smart genes. Despite intelligence being influenced by the environment, this was never the case of Mabior Garang who was brought up in a very well-off family background. Your genetic ambassador is so dumb Diktor John. A life lesson for men out there.

My heart aches, I cry bitterly to this disturbing situation that our childish politicians put us through. We could no longer tress my family as the phones ran out of power.
It’s sad enough how the selfish politicians who have been scrambling for the national resources, stampeding on the poor civilians like they don’t even exist. Since the peace agreement was signed, there is only stagnation in the black nation. For many years, our parliamentarians have not even established the so called constitution. They have spent these moment for tea parties and squeals of laughter as they await their big monthly pay checks.
Mabior Garang stated that civil war could be the repercussions if their prisoners were not released. A father himself whom his child will suffer non as the kids his own age suffer right now in the wilderness. Unfortunately, kids who were his own aged suffered when he didn’t during 1983. Whatever happened within the presidential cabinet, now split into two is a secret beyond our knowledge, as each one of them tells the world media a fabrication of a story that only favors one side. The prisoners are politicians who are well aware of the implications of their careers. Beside, they have money to hire whatever expensive lawyer to prove their innocents in court as Tearz Ayuen mentioned.
More importantly, it’s the time southerners stand up as one, and shame our prophets of doom miserably. Currently, they are taking us for fools and flacky whom they want to use for personal gain. Kiir never reacted the way he did in Juba and also Mabior has never called upon war even though hundreds have been dying in the many attacks by Yaw Yaw which always leave more than hundreds dead each time they occur. It was unbelievable how one could mobilize war for just four prisoners who happen to be mostly their family friends or relatives and yet haven’t died. What is behind declaring a war rather than winning in the eyes of the law?
It has all tumbled down to innocent ones as the cause roots lies in the hands of the greedy leaders. The devastating effects of the rotten brains now stings to the high heaven. It’s time to call for peace.

We use to look upon to the elders of the society to seek guidance, knowledge etc through their divine wisdom acquired during many years of experience in life. Kiir, Riek and Nyandeng are old enough to be at their twilight years at the moment. It’s heart breaking if the only seniors we respect are acting like in their teens. It was not surprising how Kiir fought back like a wounded lion protecting his territory in Juba and never this way in terms of exercising humanity or fighting back the rebels who snatch cattle and children.
Like wise to Riek, he should have waited for 2015 for peaceful election. So far, non of them won the civilians hearts through their actions since each an everyone of them had a part to lead during their ministries. Simple things such as monitoring prices in the markets, so the disadvantage brings food to the table failed them miserably.Anyone, don’t quote me wrong as I’m not anyone interested in politics nor do I want to be a future politician. I would rather serve my nation in farming or any other sector of entrepreneurialism.
And by the way, congratulations to the SPLA/M seniors for stealing the big show. The showing off in Khakis, tanks, guns, the terror to women and children plus the other poor elderly.
