Who are those ‘Patriots’ Mad at President Museveni in Juba?
3 min readI’D COMMIT SUICIDE IF UGANDA’S SECURITY SITUATION REACHED SOUTH SUDAN’S LEVEL

I think South Sudan’s semi-politicians and their unreasoning supporters are sick in a peculiar way. They’ve ceased to think. Their skulls are devoid of that white stuff. Something must have eaten up their brains. Or perhaps they still think but not with their heads any more. They think with ‘kelil’.
It’s a plain undeniable truth. Actually, if South Sudan had true leaders, those with people-driven interests, some of them would have handed themselves to the International Criminal Court or committed suicide. This is because, one; they caused the mess the country is in right now. And two, they can contain it but they’ve chosen not to.
Why are they taking Mr Kaguta’s statement for an insult? Or have they already forgotten what they just did, what they’re doing to South Sudan and her citizens?
First, the government officials, SPLM fat cats to be precise, concentrated on ‘stomach-filling’ sport. They looted public funds for 8 years. 8 goddame 8 years. They stole all the petrodollars. They fattened their wives and concubines with it, and stashed millions in foreign banks.
No roads. No health facilities. No electricity. No running water. No nothing. Schools are 19thcenturial. Those are the results of their selfishness, their insatiable want for more money, people’s money.
And when they had had enough, when their bellies were about to burst open, they changed the game. They shifted to It’s-my-turn-to-be-the-president game, the new scramble. Any man who is greedy with anything is greedy with everything. Like starved hyenas, they fought over SPLM party.
Civilians then bore the brunt of the violent disagreement. The infrastructure that was put in place by the patriotic few is gone – set ablaze, shelled. Over 10,000 people are dead. A million have been displaced. And out of hundreds of thousands who have sought refuge in the neighboring countries, about 70,000 are in Uganda, President Museveni’s country.
And these pseudo-diplomats are shamelessly trying to attack Museveni for stating facts, for saying the truth? They’re trying to talk bad of the man who stopped the White Army from over-running Juba, the man who sacrificed his own soldiers for a leadership of an ‘un-leaderily’ bunch of political fraudsters. Had he not come for their rescue, some politicians’ heads would have now reached Egypt via the Nile.
The statement is not an insult. It’s not a verbal attack on the sovereignty of the Republic of South Sudan. But it’s a challenge. It simply says: If you don’t like the statement, if don’t want South Sudan to be cited for the wrong reasons, stop butchering your citizens, stop the violence, stop fighting over SPLM leadership, stop stealing from public coffers, stop running to Dubai to seek malarial treatment. Put down all the guns and start building the new nation.
Farting loudly and threatening to shoot dead laughers is not acceptable. By the way, it invites more laughter. If you don’t want to be laughed at, take full control of your political bowels. Period.
