A nation can’t be healed by giving every criminal a free pass
A Letter to the Editor
By Ram Cha
June 4, 2015 (SSB) — Just like that! Riek Machar reinstated, and no accountability for the crimes this Ruthless murderer, Riek Machar, and his right hand man, Gadet!
What about tens of thousands who were massacred in Bor, Bentiu and Malakal?
Forget about SPLM. It has become like old garment that can’t be patched. This thought people come first than the party, and before SPLM, there were South Sudanese.
A nation can’t be healed by giving every criminal a free pass without a counting for misdeeds, or leave the voiceless victims of the families uncompensated.
Symptoms of a failing state:
- a) Justice is not granted to whosoever deserved it.
- b) Punishment isn’t carried out swiftly toward culprits and lawlessness.
- c) When forgiveness is above the law and justice
Discipline brings order to a society and it is a missing element in South Sudan. All have become absolutely corrupted.
