Pagan Amum and his Third Bloc are not Clean Guys
Pagan Amum said the above because he promised some Western countries who didn’t know he is a communist that he has the people’s support and he his powerful therefore he would succeed in his quest for the opposition to put the guns down.
After the opposition told him that; we can not betray the beloved people of South Sudan who had sacrificed their lives for you to be released and dictator kiir to go. Pagan became ashamed and didn’t know what to tell the countries who want to give him the interim government in the expenses of other people’s blood.
Pagan has a leadership trauma like Salva kiir that says; “I’m the president of South Sudan and must remain in that position as the leader of that country”. Pagan want to be SPLM Secretary General for life that is why he said; we can go back to the same structures of the party.
Pagan Amum and his group did not condemned the killing of the innocent Nuer civilians in Juba nor did they send condolences to the people who died for them to be release from dictator kiir’s jail. Instead he/they said killing of 20,000 Nuer civilians in Juba and elsewhere should not be use as a reason to fight. That is not true. When we took army in 1955 in Torit, it was because of transfer of Southern Soldiers to the North. That resistance gave birth to Anyanya 1.
1983 mutiny in Bor and Ayod gave birth to SPLM / A. Kerbino Kuany mutinied because he wanted to run away with salaries of the soldiers he was commanding at the time. William Nyuon Bany rebellion was a organized resistance. Pagan Amum himself, Lokurnyang and his inlaw Nyachigak Nyachuluk were terrorist before the inception of SPLM / A. They took to the bush because they wanted to loot south Sudanese not because they want to fight the Arabs. When SPLM / A was formed, they were already in bushes looting.
I think Pagan Amum was wrong to dispute killing of 20,000 Nuer civilians as a good reason to form armed resistance.
Pagan Amum respect and fear radical, idiot and notorious individuals like kiir, Makuie lueth, Paul Malong. In his article, he had only attached Riek Machar-Teny, Mabior Garang Mabior, James Gatdet Dak but left Makue Lueth, Kiir Kuethping and Paul Malong, Akol Paul Kordit who use to insult him/them since December last year up to date live on tribal SSTV. Right after their release from jail, Makuie said; “if the detainees don’t change their behaviour, “we will arrest them again”. Now they have changed their behaviour and willing to go back to Juba if granted good security by kiir. Therefore one can conclude that, Makue knows his colleagues are fearful.
Pagan Amum and killer kiir are buddies. The two share almost everything. They share corruption; top 2 corrupt officials in South Sudan. They share failures; Kiir failed in his duties as the President of the Country as well SPLM chairman. Pagan Amum failed as the administrator of the ruling part SPLM. They are also less educated.
The two are whisky friends more than any other SPLM and government officials in SS. They had corrupted and abused the wives and daughters of their late colleagues and south Sudanese in general. Pagan can’t fool anyone at all in SS. He is just exactly like his boss.
Pagan Amum has and will never help Dr. Riek Machar-Teny in anyway because Riek is independent unlike Pagan. Riek as an individual had a vision of independent South Sudan through Self – determination. Where is Pagan vision???
Riek Machar-Teny had help Pagan retained his SG in 2008 SPLM convention. Kiir had wanted to replace him with Taban Deng but Riek stood tall and condemned that act. When Pagan Amum was detained to be in his house and denied the freedom of speech and movement, it was Dr. Machar who stood by him. Machar spoke openly about that. When he was illegally detained with his corrupt colleagues, it was Machar and freedom fighters who stood firm to secure their release.
He has never done something good to Riek instead bad things. Pagan Amum was the first man who insulted Riek Machar-Teny publicly in 2007. He was the one who cut-off the microphone wire when Riek was welcoming Bashir on the July 9. 2011.
During December 6 conference, (I was present ) Pagan Amum was the MC. He said, we (they, SPLM leaders) are under they leadership of Dr. Riek Machar-Teny the party deputy Chairman. But today he said, We were on individual basis during the press conference because I and madam Rebecca Garang wanted the leadership too. Did you used Riek Machar-Teny as a shield then???
Pagan Amum shortcut to the presidency would have been easy through the SPLM / IO because Riek would give it to him after just one term but now he has shot himself in the foot by betraying the people of south Sudan and freedom fighters in particular.
