June 25, 2015 (SSB)  —-  It is really awaited from the SPLM Secretary General Hon. Pagan Amum Okiech pleases sir” or you guys! South Sudan and its people wants, need you to makes a very clear apology to citizens of south sudan at large, you have done a lot of confusion while you have had really struggled and liberated this country of south Sudan from the colonialism rule of Arab.

The purpose of apologizing is to isolating yourself from the devil thoughts of Riek Machar (Dr. Doom).

Please, your people wants an apology and explanations to them so that they should beware that, your vision still alive not die like Riek’s visionless. Children and mothers are crying all along, and yesterday, you have acknowledge and did fantastic job for joining your boss President Kiir to united the SPLM again in one umbrella, you truly clearing your consequences and back to your common sense. Parents are waiting your apology to tell their children about your true color.

They are telling them that having done that particular thing; they should feel sorry and forgive with sincerity hearts. A willingness to apologize is part of the willingness to shoulder and leads the responsibility you have carried for long, which is an important part of growing up for south Sudan. A mature person is supposed to feel regret when he or she has offended or upset some other person.

Successful responsibility and relationships are marked by people being attentive to each other’s feelings.  Someone who rarely apologizes will seem unsympathetic and uninterested in coming to terms with others. He or she will seem overly proud. It may seem to a more dispassionate observer that that person is more insecure than arrogant, and unwilling to admit to a mistake for that reason.

Children will be learn quickly that apologizing disarms the injured by party SPLM. Apologizing to the nation who has been inconvenienced or offended makes that person less angry. It is a way of insuring that we are not always hitting each other over the head or worse.

Let the heading off a Murder,” (Riek) carry his own cross alone in whom I term an implacable murderer whose anger was assuaged by an apology.) Apology are one of those simple courtesies, such as saying “please” and “thank you” that make more comfortable the ordinary interactions and conflicts of life.

We say “sorry,” and also to forgive you sooner and proceeding to your duties very dire and south Sudan will return to normalizing like before. When we bump into each other in a stairwell, without necessarily feeling that we did something wrong. Not saying something of that sort would be considered rude.

There is a value to apologizing, not only to the future relationship between persons who have been quarreling, but also to the way those persons feel about themselves as a nation. Please sir, we can’t allow south Sudanese bloods to be uses as an Alcoholic that, you can take and return normal after sometime without question by others.

This is the way the apology business of politics is supposed to work: If someone inadvertently injures someone else, let’s say by stepping on his foot, of course he should apologize. The other person might have purposely got in the way; still, he should apologize. He is not apologizing for having done something wrong.

He is apologizing for having caused the other person some distress. The apology does not suggest a fault or a weakness. It is an expression of sympathy. It has no more special meaning other than being polite. In that sense it may be a real apology.

Real, sincerity, apologize are important in the resolution of disputes, particularly if those who are involved are close to each other. In the wake of an argument, a person should unhesitatingly apologize if that person, in his or her own opinion, did something wrong. It is a kind of reaching out to the other persons and wins their hearts. It is a matter of respect.

There are some people who command an apology! “We waiting for an apology,” in the youngest nation of south Sudan, we wants an apology (Hon. Pagan). What good is an apology if it does not reflect an actual feeling of regret? It is simply an exercise of your power and responsibility Mr. Amum. When a child of south Sudan grows and past the point of knowing what an apology means, parents should no longer suffer like this.

Politicians find it expedient to apologize from time to time, although it doesn’t closely, the personal apology does not always seem to be admitting to having done something wrong: “If I offended anyone, I am sorry.” “You take full responsibility for what happened, but I hope you will do it.

Why do people demand apologies from politicians when they know that the apology will be insincere?

Both answers are part of the whole. As we south Sudanese, we often wants to hear a public apology as much to vindicate our position as a citizen and show that the other person was in the wrong directions. The intent is not as important as the acknowledgment that the other was wrong.

However in many cases demanding an apology often makes the demanding party look as petty as the other party is wrong, a diminishing return.

People demand apologies for teaching, to feel better and to be vindicated. An apology given without demand is better for all involved
