June 2015 Election is the Best Way to End Political Turmoil in South Sudan

–

January 19, 2015 (SSB) —  First and far most, I would wish to resent my sincere condolences to the families, colleagues and relatives of the deceased who perished as a result of crisis instigated by individuals who never offer brilliant decisions whenever a talk emerged in their lives time. Personally, I would kindly wish to appreciate the legislatures of the republic of South Sudan legislative Assembly for giving the electoral commission of the republic a green light in terms of preparing in readiness to conduct the elections on 30th June 2015. Indeed, any responsible and a sound minded person whose intention is to restored peace and stability back into the country could have made such a great decision. Why I think beyond reasonable doubt that the upcoming elections shall bring a lasting solutions to the ongoing crisis in the Republic of South Sudan .

My brother Dut Mabior, I would love to promptly reprimand your article by terming it as somebody’s mole article. If you aren’t aware, these are not times for blame games of who might have initiated the turmoil in our nation on 15th December 2013. As a patriotic citizens, these are moments where all of us are expected to think beyond our individual’s interest and expected to make wise decisions even the unwise ones for the sake of our nation’ future generations to come. Historically, all south Sudanese aware of each and everyone’s contribution during the struggle for independence. There are those whose behaviors resembles to those of the robots and the then Germany chancellor Hitler during the world wars. Am certain you are conversant with how Hitlar died.

Back to elections issue whether it is the best way to end south Sudan crisis. I absolutely support the idea of having elections as scheduled. To any nation, elections normally offer the citizens a chance to change or vote in the government of their choice without political manipulation. This decision to have election was the best after all talks between the government and the rebels failed which can be supported by any person whose love and support for the nation can’t be diluted by money or materials offered to him/her by those whose interests is not to see the country sailing towards prosperity.

Mabior, yours is indeed catering for today and not for tomorrow. Your argument at this juncture to the nation is not neither logical nor beneficial to the public. We as citizens of Lakes States, our crisis are not connected to the ongoing crisis at all. Therefore, you should not comment on an issue that you might not have a clue about. As south Sudanese, we all know the genesis of the current conflict in the nation and therefore shall not be dragged into divisive politics by “politician (s)” in order to gain in the political arena. Too late and unfortunate for them indeed!!!!
