After the mid-December 2013 incident, Riek Machar clearly stated that he was fighting against gross political intolerable injustices practiced by Kiir’s government. Later, we realize that the peace talk’s agenda deviated from the need for reforms in the country to pushing for executive positions. This inconsistency has repeatedly distorted the peace processes yet life is missing day by day.
The practice is not a new episode on earth; history has shown that evil has ever been rewarded with good that is why such scenarios continue to occur. Rewarding evil condones perpetrators to promote the game. Peace brokers have never ever put this reality into consideration as they mediate worrying parties. They only look at what either party feels pleased of in the peace table.
At the dawn of the CPA, Riek was reabsorbed into the SPLM when James Wani Igga relinquished his position to him for the sake of peace. This has shown Igga as a patriotic citizen of this Country, even during this baseless war he continues to exercise utmost neutrality. We never heard him one time giving a hate speech against any tribe, whether in privacy or in public.
As said above, rendering evil with good will continue to keep this country in tatters. Evil is an immoral act that destroys human dignity and it has to be treated relentlessly.
