G10 + 75% OF THE POPULATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN ARE NEUTRAL IN CURRENT CRISIS
By Makuei Kuir, Kenya
January 20, 2015 (SSB) —The engineers of the current crisis in the country are very fews on both sides, and the majority of South Sudanese citizens are not supporting the senseless destruction war escalating in our country.
–
There are despotic leaders who put our country into this turmoil for the sake of their own interests.
–
Our leaders are not willing to compromise each other, and care the life of the venerable population who devastating now in and outside the country in displace camp Uganda, Kenya, Khartoum and Ethiopia among other places.
–
The recent crisis in the Republic of South Sudan has completely eroded the nationalism and patriotism among the majority of the political leaders in the country.
–
The crisis has forced most of the known leaders to allow their nationalism and patriotism to be overshadowed by the survival of the their own tribe and allow the political crisis to shift to tribal crisis due to sympathy toward their own tribe and forget about the Nation and other 63 tribes whom they need to love and work for them in order to become leader of this country.
–
The majority of the south Sudanese leaders had been forced to weight two important competing interests namely tribe (community you belong) or Nation to compromise your own people for the sake of the Unity among people of South Sudan.The tribal leaders become very famous than nationalist among their community as they are drive by short term survival for himself within the community and completely forget about the high price paid by the 64 tribes of South Sudan to regain their loss identity under the Khartoum regime and hard work of all South Sudanese people to liberate this country.
The conflict forces all leaders to prefer their own tribe leadership and forget about what it mean to for south Sudan become a nation or a country .
Despite all these challenges faces by many leaders during the current crisis, some very few leaders like G10+ embraced Nationalism and Patriotism but no way for them to express themselves to the nation.
