Conversation between Salva Kiir and Yoweri Museveni
3 min readBy Deng Akok
Sometimes there are friends who always there for you even when you shoot yourself in the foot. Museveni of Uganda is one of those to Mr. President Salva Kiir Mayardiit. He has rescued Kiir from the jaws of the White Army and Riek Machar.
Regardless of what will going to happen next between them; Salva will always be thankful about aid Mr. Museveni has provided to him in his bleak days in the late 2013 to early 2014. I don’t know how they pat themselves on the back now. But I do assume that they joke and laugh about it. Here is how I think they joke about it.
Museveni: Mr Cowboy, they almost got you.
Kiir: yeah! they almost did. But thank you for coming to my rescue.
Museveni: yeah! yeah! that is what the friendship is about.
Kiir: I thought Kenya president was my friend as well. They only guy I didn’t trust is the current Ethiopian prime minister.
Museveni: Now you know who is your real friend. Don’t be naïve. If you want to know who is your real friend…find yourself a trouble, and the circumstances you are in will expose them. If they are your real friends…they have to rescue you first and later they will tell you what you have done wrong. But well, at least you learn the lesson now. Anyway, welcome to the political jungle of East Africa. Only the fittest survive here. If you want to be long time ruler like me, Moi, Meles, Bashir and the rest in East Africa, you got to learn the rule of the jungle. No justice or remorse here, the name of the game is survival of the fittest. But anyway, welcome to the jungle.
Kiir: Thank Mr. Museveni for your help and advices. I now learn the lesson \ the hard way. Anyway, I got to keep my eye open on those president of Kenya , Sudan, Ethiopia prime and the rest.
Museveni: Always be alert…in this jungle, nobody is there for you. You are lucky that you got me in a crucial moment in your presidency. I may not be there next time. But don’t ever shoot yourself in a foot again. This East Africa politic is not a naïve game…it is the game for the ruthless ones. Anyway, it depend however you do it at least you are not the victim.
Kiir: Thank you president Museveni. I figure out now how it work. Your advices will be taken into action soon. Just keep your eye on me and always be there for me while I’m mustering the game.
Museveni: You are welcome. But keep in mind that you don’t have to trust nobody including me because this game is a game of opportunists. Therefore, people always do what benefit them not what is righteous.
Kiir: Well, thank you again. I’m not going to trust anybody just like you said. See you later.
Museveni: well, see you then.
