November 3, 2015 (SSB) — God has not chosen those poor thousands citizens who lost their life in 2013 and 2014 in eyes of world because of your greedy power. Our people was been supporting the independence in hope that they could regain their expectation which did not become reality due to your rebellion.
we ought to be abide in mind that the struggle for South Sudan independent was fundamentally struggle for everyone against unfamiliar domination and discrimination of South Sudanese people by North Sudan and it is become impossible today for our leaders to talk for meaningful of unity, peace and stability among people. We all fought so strongly during SPLA struggle with alien discrimination of Sudan government.
The death of Late. Dr. John Garang, has become visible more and more violence among South Sudanese citizens and if our hero was alive, the country would have been enjoying unity, prosperity, peace and stability for all. And at the moment Dr. Riek Machar turned our nation into a shameful nation but spirit be consider by people of South Sudan as the betrayed of his people according to Late Dr. Garang, and of course the statement become true.
This is the backgrounds that divide South Sudanese mistakenly though into at least two conflicting between Dinka and Nuer.
For now to say South Sudanese waged the struggle against Arab of North Sudan yet there is no solitary unity among South Sudanese community and unmistakably the fighting that ensuing between these two powerful tribes had unclear reason over the power.
In fact Dinka and Nuer, are fighting among themselves but you have common enemy remaining silence with purpose and they will have a good reason in time to hate both of you who are known as traces of South Sudan conflicts dating back from the day of formation of SPLM/A in 1983 and am not sufficient in explaining the tribal war of 1991. The problem of Dinka and Nuer are product of tribalism struggle itself which have no effect on other tribes.
It is interesting to remind the people that basically the divisions among these two major tribes which witness the losses during the struggle and up to date among themselves with lack of historical sense. In 2012 Dr. Machar, asked Dinka community for forgiveness of 1991 massacre of Bor community to begin with reconciliation which may reflects his wakefulness for the extent to which the new nation had to overcome the divisions among the two powerful communities but the option for reconciliation was short live.
The same person who had asked for forgiveness and reconciliation as to begin with new chapter in the new nation has been the first to rebel against the very same people. The question is now remain, where is the reconciliation from here? The past and the present has been seem more and more by the people of South Sudan opening and giving them details of what had actually happened in the past.
The fact that Dr. Machar, always made bitter decision against South Sudanese not only Dinka and Nuer who are fighting among themselves but the entire 64 tribes of South Sudan are also exaggerated and suffering.
However, to create a gulf between people who are willing and seemingly to a realistic that the need each other if peace, stability and ultimately development are to remain realistic in this country without different reasons of coming together as one people, one nation.
People need unity at the present moment; we are people tied of war more than what strength in the pervious and for now, we have to feel for sense of having peace in our hand, unity and stability to remain a reasonable, possibility for lasting peace in our country.
The lasting peace cannot be built on fear and silence but peace within all South Sudanese communities.
