IF YOU DON’T STOP THIS, SOUTH SUDAN WILL SAIL TO NOWHERE

“A wrestler, who looks a comfort place to be thrown down at, is more likely defeated compare to who faces his opponent without looking back”. “Because a monkey imitates others, it cuts its throat”.
South Sudanese politicians, foreign hearted citizens, and rich are the crisis of the country. With South Sudan filled with bunch of foreign oriented leaders and social assassins, from all continents: North America, South America, Asia, Australia, Europe and Africa assigned to hold different positions in all entities of country governments, with high talents and skill in the diverse forms, the nation is suffering a search of a good direction to survive.
Some of those who have adopted a range of cultures from civilized nations pay no attention to traditional cultural patterns of the natives of the land, but only to impose foreign cultures.
They are also influenced to leave their families there and to export wealth of the nation for rents and education to foreign nations instead to aid strengthening domestic institutions with those resources.
Others rhetorically claimed to have received intellectual senses and practical wisdoms to serve and to talk on behalf of historical liberators who their skills was mainly to commanding forces; however, getting this chance, they form a clique, elite class and limit the degree of transparency to loot undisclosed amount of national resources at each level of government and then to their families abroad, the resources that supposedly to be for infrastructures, security, health, agricultural scheme, and education to the advantage of mainstreams here at home.
Among them there are pyromaniacs who practice tribal slur, with hope of asylum, to set the nation on fire and to cause trouble for their recognitions, but when predict imminent danger, they flee ahead of hardship for those countries instead to retreat, talk peace, and recruit resilience to quell it and to coalesce those politically confused tribes in solidarity.
This was evidenced when rebel forces were matching on Juba –Bor road toward Juba, in January, 2014; some jammed to Uganda, Kenya while others showed their dual citizenships to be evacuated through their second home embassies/consulates to their refugee places; also some get accommodations at the nearest airport hotels ready to be flown away from violence in Juba.
Still when many more others are disconnected from monetary pipeline, the central bank that few elites are mandated to control and to have unsupervised privileges of creating wealth for themselves through variety of private Forex banks in the nation’s capitol, those people make noise in the social media with their beaks open like a chick ready to receive food from its mother against the government with multiples of criticism or proposals of which system of governance (confederation, Federation, Decentralization, Unitary and democracy and etc) to pursue for calmness and security of wealth.
There are other predators too who wish South Sudan bad to remain chaotically in mess to prey her forever, for stability doesn’t favor them, otherwise, sleeping giants, the victims of several political upheavals in the country, usual unrecognized groups, at the lowest level of community will wake up one day with their own agenda of change in the country, but not like white army does.
There are also some historical leaders that abandoned South Sudan which rewarded and obtained wealth from, but to build towers or story buildings as well as taking their children to study in such places e.g. Dubai, Nairobi, Australia, Kampala and etc but leaving South Sudan to only be inhabited by underprivileged citizens who they only maneuvered to fight their wars of interests over wealth distributions, but don’t have modern financial capabilities.
In power, some other get diagnosed with complex diseases due to consultation from corrupted commissions or elsewhere to receive hard currency for abroad than economically backing up South Sudan health facilities to be good for their both rehabilitations and referrals by spending those money here. This is harming the national economy. Although most South Sudanese who died in foreign country are flown back home in coffins to symbolically show love of the country, transporting body is more costly than home funeral itself.
For it is public best interest to demand from its government a good policy in the country to govern job opportunities from all foreign institutions than the internationals alone, and to give a bigger share of job deal to nationals, in opposite, half-hearted South Sudanese side with international diplomats, UN agencies, and NGOS.
They incite such organizations to fight on their behalf by interrupting or sabotaging National Affairs with threatening voices of sanction on pointing figure tips. For instance, a current national minister of public service had been forced to murder a circular he issued to give a bigger hand of job opportunities to nationals than internationals.
While others interfere with national security bill that serves to provide adequate security operation to deter the national criminals or political perpetuators in the area before its disadvantages and advantages are respectively evaluated which supposed to be done in implementation process, but also rally up to force a threat of filibuster in collaboration with those foreign organizations that hate security progress in the country.
In the same context, National and State members of parliaments go on recess in neighboring countries as well as abroad to spend money for the republic and to harbor their families than visiting their constituencies, where populations need to know the national and state government achievements, including services delivery.
They solely serve to visit their constituencies during campaign season; however, mainstreams are left to be exploited and to follow the bandits/looters that happened to cry in tears of victims and change in the system of the Republic.
By imitating other nations, preparing hiding places for families in foreign nations, robbing national wealth, spending it on foreign homes or educations, but only leaving poor populations to face their causes than confronting the challenges the South Sudan is facing as a new nation, South Sudan will sail to nowhere.
