Get Over Rebecca Nyandeng and Mind your own Business
E Nyandeeng ci ber piac yalo e T.V. nyin ka ye e lo theer xon?

Well, we now know why the SSTV was dominated by Nyandeeng’s condemnations and several individuals were writing very inappropriate articles about the legendary woman!
The plan to fire her (a joke) was underway and the fear of unknowns were overwhelming. One of this fears is the fact that firing Nyandeeng will attract another series of media interests to interview her. So, the strategy is no difference from what was used when the senior SPLM leaders were fired and then the SPLM leadership processes were launched.
The intention being that their firing would be used against them to silent them so that they can not oppose the SPLM chairman or to smear them and completely destroy them in the political arena if they choose not to be silent or supportive of the chairman.
The same strategy is what has been used here again in the firing of Nyandeeng. Now if the media approach her for interviews, anything she says will be termed as arising from the fact that she just got fired, lol!!!
Well, a reasonable person can ask a few questions about the claimed keeping of Nyandeeng on the pay roll.
How was she receiving her salaries? Through direct deposits to her bank account or was she traveling to Juba to collect her salaries the entire time she has been out of the country? Or was her money wired through Somalia, money gram or Western Union to her in Kenya? I am just curious!
Nyandeeng was not on the pay roll. The claim was used to attract her back to the government side. It was also used to project the supposedly good image of Mayardit!
Cut Nyandeeng a slack! She is a brave woman and history will judge her with time! She is not a rebel, she is an opposition to Kiir dictatorship rule. She is mad because she believes the country is in the mess it is in because of President Kiir’s actions! And who doesn’t agree?
She is not in the peace talks, leave alone, commanding a rebel army on the ground!
Cut the woman a slack and focus on hammering a deal with your rebel counterparts to silent the guns so that we can all work to bring peace back to our beloved country and leave the rest to the history and time!
