Arab League, Khartoum and Uganda to Solve South Sudanese Problem? NO WAY
AT THIS CRITICAL TIME, LET’S REMEMBER THE WORDS OF DR. JOHN GARANG, NOT JUST ON HIS DISPUTATION OF BIASED NORTHERN STEREOTYPING OF THE SOUTH, BUT MORE SO, ON HOW WE SHOULD AND MUST BE MASTERS OF OUR OWN FATE IN OUR OWN HOUSE, THERE IS NO ANY HELP OUT THERE WHATSOEVER. THIS IS A BROTHERLY QUARREL, FRATRICIDE AS IT MAY OR COULD BE. IT IS NOT THE REASON TO AUCTION OFF OUR DIGNITY AND INTEGRITY AS A NATION. ENOUGH OF SELF-DEFEATISM PRESIDENT KIIR!!!
We are not anybody’s burden; we are masters in our own house. We are confident in ourselves and of the future. There are those who might entertain the false beliefs that we cannot govern ourselves, we should not and cannot let their thought patterns influence us. Let us collectively go down in history as the generation of South Sudanese that turned Sudan around by putting an end to discrimination, racism, inequality, division, exploitation, and marginalization at best, and slavery and casual murder at worst. Let us unite against ethnic, religious, and racial divides to restore personal dignity for all. Let us move from total economic dormancy to total vibrancy; from relegation and resignation to a cycle of poverty, destitution and misery to activism, hope, and excitement. Let us reject being mere spectators in life, to becoming masters of our own destiny. A Bishop friend of mine yesterday told me a joke that three people went to see God, and the Almighty asked them what they wanted. One of them said he wanted wisdom, the second said he wanted riches, and the third, a Southern Sudanese, said he was only accompanying the other two. You will guess who wanted wisdom and who wanted riches, but what I want to tell Southerners is to stop accompanying others and be masters of their own destiny; I say the same for all Sudanese and for all people of Africa.…I have been commanding the SPLA officers and men of various ranks in this war; many of them have paid the ultimate sacrifice. If my turn comes to pay the ultimate sacrifice, and indeed it comes, then be it. We are in this war to win or die for the national goals and objectives we believe in. I am just an officer; a commander-in-chief of a patriotic army and one officer just like many of you. If death comes my way I shall die like many of our compatriots who have already laid down their lives in this war. SPLM/A Oye!
