GREATER BOR IN GREATER MESS
By Akim Michael, Kenya
February 10, 2015 (SSB) — The most educated youth of greater Bor are the root cause of mess in our counties. Imagine since the beginning of crises in December 2013 in South Sudan, our brothers and sisters never rest from insulting each other including their leaders. No day that I came across our brothers/sisters appreciating one another on paanluelwel website.
All I got are insults that this county has rebelled and this county is supporting failed government. Which are all idiotic excuses that will later develop in to hatred and selfishness? Unity of our communities is in our hands as youth of greater Bor rather than digging potholes of hatred among our three counties.
Politic is the instrument of interest as it has divided us now just because of individualism within. No room for disunity in our greater Bor community. And lets us stop insulting our mother Rebecca Nyandeng Garang on social and websites with Dr. Majak D’ Agot too.
No day that Salva Kiir and other top government officials stood up and insulted them in public, just because of respect they have for our late hero Dr.John Garang De Mabior.
We all knows that they had did wrong thing for not standing with government and that is not our job as youth but government knows it that why they are in negotiation now to bring peace back to our country. We are untaught generation about cultures of the community.
According to what I heard about our culture, when elders sat down while chatting and there are some children around, one of elders can fart when children are present and no single child can laugh or telling others that who have farted? They knows who farted but respect in its place so that to teach one how to keep secrete for community. So lets us keep secrets of our community not to exposed them to other communities.
I appreciated brothers and sisters from greater Bhar el ghazal for the respect they have on media. A guy from Bhar el ghazal asked me question one day that, what is wrong with you guys from greater Bor for insulting wife of Garang and Majak Agot?
I just replied to him that people are different that why some guys from Lake State do insult Chol Tong also. He told me we have advised them, why you don’t advise your indiscipline guys to avoid such disrespect toward your leaders. I just told him that we will do it as you said, brother.
Conclusion: Greater Bor youth need to refrain from dirty politics and concentrate in unity of our people.
