Hard Time: Warrap Will Remain a State of Wonders Forever
By Simon Yel Yel, Juba, South Sudan
“When government fear people, there is liberty. When people fear the government, there is tyranny” says by Thomas Jefferson, the former president of the US.
May 12, 2015 (SSB) —- The wonders that Warrap had been known for ages are now starting to take different shapes and forms. Warrap had been known for its good wonders since the liberation struggles but what we are now witnessing today is what I can called” imported bad wonders” in making.
We are now in the “beginning of an end” of the grave and life-threatening imported wonder of Nyandeng Malek Dielic that Warrap had never experienced before. Warrap had been known of its liberation, scientific and democratic wonders but Nyandeng has maculated its reputations with her wonder of dictatorship and corruption. I will remind my readers with some good wonders that the people of Warrap state have been known for before Warrap has been tarnished by Nyandeng with her bad imported wonders.
The first good wonder was in 15th.May.1983 when the late Gen. Kharabino Kuanyin Bol broke the silence of the marginalized Sudanese and southern Sudanese in particular by firing a first bullet against the Khartoum dictatorial regime. His first bullet has successfully led us to have independent south Sudan today where every citizen is treated equally without prejudice.
The other thing that wondered the whole world so much was how lucky and bless is Warrap to have produced the world’s tallest person Late Manut Bol and Prof John A. Akec, the first black scientist who went to the moon.
The other miracle that left people wondering up to now is also about the president Salva Kiir Mayardit. People are still wondering now asking themselves how lucky is President Kiir who was in number four in the SPLA\M leadership to rise the flag of independence south Sudan and be its first president.
Readers may ask what the gist of this article is about, let me go straight to the point that I want to make. Since Nyandeng Malek entered into politics in Warrap, she equally brought hitherto the “bad imported wonders” into Warrap right away from when she was a deputy governor in 2006.
The preliminary of her bad imported wonders started when she was an acting governor in 2006, she ordered the police to shot pupils of Kuajok primary school when they staged a peaceful march to the ministry of education to petition the minister for the delay of the teachers’ salaries. Teachers were on strike for more almost a month because they didn’t receive their salaries of three months. One student was shoot dead by the police and many pupils were injured. This wonder made Warrap to be the first state in south Sudan where pupils are shot dead and no one has been held to account.
In 2010 elections, SPLM gave Nyandeng Malek a gubernatorial ticket, she was the first and only female elected governor not only in the Sudan but also in the East Africa. It was a kind of democratic wonder for Warrap state people who elected her to be first female governor in the Sudan.
Immediately one year after her election, we saw the “beginning of the beginning” of her bad imported wonders and hidden dictatorial alter ego in the brutal beating and jailing Hon. Deng Mayom Akeen just two month after the independence of south Sudan. She was the first governor in the Republic of south Sudan to beat and jail an elected MP without lifting his immunity. De facto, she is the one who have taught General Malong Awan and General Matur Chut how to beat, jail and even dismiss elected MPs in the parliament. This wonder made Warrap to be the first state where MPs are illegally beaten and jailed without lifting their immunities; after they are beaten and jailed, they are released without being taken to court for the crime they were arrested of committing.
18th December 2013 was the “end of the beginning “of her bad imported wonders when she has beaten and jailed the deputy chairman and the acting chairman of the SPLM uncle Andrew Kuac Manyol, William Deng Nhial, the SPLM secretary for finance and the SPLM acting secretary General, Kharlos Maluil Makuek, the SPLM youth league coordinator and other youth. She falsely criminated them of having link with the group of Riek who staged a failed coup in Juba. The real reason behind was the withdrawal of the confidence on her government by the state SPLM office. This wonder made Warrap to be the first and only state in south Sudan where SPLM officials are beaten, jailed and released without the legal procedures being followed.
On 8th May 2015, this day will be remembered as a stygian gloomy day of the “beginning of an end” of the bad imported wonders of Nyandeng Malek in Warrap history and blame shall be on Prof Malek Madut for importing Nyandeng from Cueibet to Warrap without first removing these dangerous “wonders” in her. The wonders in her are so dangerous and they are threatening the existence of Warrap as a state and its prosperity as a people. It was on Friday 8th this month when Hon. Amet Amet Kuol and Hon. Ariech Mayar Ariech were illegally arrested by security operatives under command of Nyandeng without their immunity being lifted.
I wonder how becoming an SPLM governor makes one automatically be an SPLA commander. Nyandeng is now an SPLM commander not an SPLM governor because what is she is doing now is even far beyond what a brutal military dictator does.
Nyandeng needs to be stopped before she surprises us again with her last worst wonder” the end of an end” which I think is going to be the most shocking one among her all bad wonders. All her bad wonders were meant to provoke the population of Warrap to take laws into their own hands but the citizens of Warrap state are law-abiding and love to see things done in peaceful way.
What is that thing that can be threat to the national security to prompt the president to remove the governor if not what Nyandeng has been doing? Nyandeng has done enough and it is high time for the president Kiir to remove her before she surprises him and us with her last ” end of end” wonder.
Inclusion, I will paraphrase the statement of Tony Blair by saying, the election of Nyandeng as a governor brought: tranny, not freedom; dictatorship, not democracy; the rule of national security or secret police, not rule of law in Warrap. President should decree out Nyadeng this time.
