“There was no coup in Juba” A RESPONSE TO EDWARD LINO
4 min readReply to Clemency of Edward Lino to Junta in Waiting entitled “There was no coup in Juba”
By David Aoloch Bion
Your argument is Socratic, Philosophical and scientific in such a manner it is written but it is full of fallacies . You claim there was no coup in Juba on December 15th because “Two press conference held, families of Oyai and Gier arrive to Juba the same day, Pagan dragged at his home, Manibe relocating to new life. Hiteng was transporting his household to Torit, John Luk taken from his resident. None of the General was with Pistol or uniform”.
What fallacy! here you have committed what is called hasty generalization of the argument because you draw your conclusion on insufficient evident leaving the major three evident of coups No. 1Press Release on December 6th signed by Dr. Riak and the 11 men that’’ if Salva Kiir does not call SPLM Political Bureau to set the agenda for the National Liberation Council, South Sudan be in chaos, order, in Abyss” This is coup or war rhetoric which is in line with words of Greek Emperor Alexander, the Great who says “I cant steal the victory”. It means you must tell your opponents in advance the day to attack and the overall strategy against him because you are sure of the victory. No. 2 on BBC World Service Riak said “I call upon the army to throw Salva Kiir. I am the leader of the Rebellion” What is the objectives of the soup? It is to overthrow the government within one hour, what are the objectives of the rebellion; it is to overthrow the government within days, months and years. No. 3. What was aim of fighting on Dec 15?, to overthrow Kiir
You claimed I quested “Potential totalitarian state can be revealed by the acquirement of all tools of oppression before providing food, medicine, and education to the common person”. Well, it s true that the state bought tanks. It is also true that state bought medicine and food to the common person. If the state was buying tanks only the 11 ministers who rebelled could have told the people of South Sudan before they fired from government that the government is buying tanks but not buying medicine.. Why there was no single Minister who resigned and declared publicly that he was not given money for , medicine, food, and development by Salva Kiir? Why there was no single minister who resigned, and declared publicly that Salva Kiir is failing South Sudan and I don’t want to the part of failure. These Minister-Coup Plotters and rebels are opportunists and egocentric.. They were fighting for their position. They were enjoying before they were fired while millions of South Sudanese were suffering from diseases, hunger… Now when they were sacked they pretended they know right of others. South Sudanese are bigot about these rabid politicians.
Now they are asking things of their buttocks like Akol Kuol, who asked “if this cow were not red what colour would it be?” People say “White” He again asked what if it were not white? People say would be black. He again asked. What if it was not black? Akol kept asking the question he could not answered himself. The Ministers are talking about the problem, they can’t solve.
You compared South Sudan like Rome I quoted “Rome is burning” This is false analogy.
You claimed I quoted “Akon is tribally chosen” This is ad Hominem.
In conclusion, Hon. Edward Coward Lino, you are just writing a clemency to coup plotters to spare your life in case the rebel captures the town you might in.
Since December 15, the whole political crisis has been tribalised. ‘’All the Nuer are in Dinka wanted dead list and All Dinka are in Nuer wanted dead list’’. As Nuer were targeted by some Dinka element in Juba and Dinka were targeted by Nuer elements in Bentiu, Akobo, Ulang …..etc.
It is the basic right of each tribe member to clear his/her name from wanted list in case, he/she is found, his own life is spare.
So son of Nyandor, feel free, start to eat, start to sleep. Your name is removed. Most Wanted Lists
