"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
February 1, 2015 (SSB) — January 31,2015.Dinka Bor is one of the smallest Nilotic group in South Sudan located in Jonglei State.It’s occupied three counties of Bor South,Twic East and Duk.I don’t know if there is Twic West from Twic East.To begin with these three Peoples are the ulcers and headache in South Sudan.
–
Some are fearing just the name Dinka Bor and others said because of their thinking ability.On the other hand,others said these people devoted their lives in education mention but fews.
–
All these amongst other factors made their neighbouring brothers Nuer and Murle and to the smaller extend Equatorians recently hates them most and everywhere in South Sudan.
–
For instance in the late 1990s when Dr Riek Machar decided to wiped Dinka Bor out of the map of South Sudan and recently in 2014 when the two power thirsty politicians disagreed on some issues of leadership in Juba and definitely resulted to the killings and replacement of thousand of civilians in Bor Jonglei State (IDPs) and outside the country (refugees) and spread to Bentiu where Riek hidden himself otherwise it could have not happened there. The troops were only hunting for rebels and to defense the civilians but the bullet does not know its master.
–
Just as in Bible,when King Melek said said,Kills all the baby boys because among them one would later vote me out of the thrown and become the king of area.The same thing to some politicians do not want Dinka Bor to propagate.
–
Dr Riek Machar sent white army (Lou Nuer) who have no mercy at all and don’t reason twice to come and clean off Dinka Bor and end up killing patients on their beds in the hospital, raping old women aged 60-70s and many others unspeakable under the instructions of Dr Riek Machar.
–
Why Dinka Bor being attacked always other them to attack? Does it means they know the important of lives when others are stupid like termites which could ran towards light when fire is lit and yet fire is it enemy?
–
The same thing to what Dr Riek Machar did in mobilizing the innocent Lou Nuer’s youths to fighting leadership for him when his son is enjoying abroad.You see,if you don’t reason,you Will be drag by anyone who need power by force as his shield.
–
So we are not easy to convince and blindfold.So Mr,you Will be a president of the White army when it happen you ascend to the power.
