Message of Condolence to the Family and Relatives of Uncle Lual Diing Wol and the Entire Aweil Community
We Share the Grief and pain with the family and Relatives of late Uncle Lual Diing Wol and the entire Aweil Dinka community
By Mawien Athian Athian, Tito Awen Bol and Garang Dong, Nairobi, Kenya.
February 9, 2016 (SSB) —- Baba Africa, it is so early to leave us, Uncle “Lanbaar,” it is too soon to go away from us; Uncle Lual Diing Wol, it is not the time for us to see you parting with us forever. You are a man known by all for your principles and satires that you add in every speech with nation always at heart.
As members of Mading Aweil Community and friends to the children of the late Uncle Lual Diing Wol; and as nationals, we are heavily touched by the passing-on of veteran Lualdit. Late Lualdit or Baba Africa has not just been a politician and a revolutionist; but a man that had been keeping the movement lively from the days of struggle to independent.
Per that, we grief with the aggrieved family and relatives of Late Lualdit wherever they are (South Sudan and those abroad), and we are humbly asking the family and relatives to take heart and indeed understand that Baba Lanbaar is not even a man of Aweil community but a national figure who will remain to be honour and respected for what he stood for and all he achieved. Hence, you are not alone in tears and mourning but with the nation of South Sudan across the three geographical divides (Regions) of our Country.
While hearing the sad news at night, we were saying “we wish it is not true”, but the fact remains; wishes cannot change the nature! Sun rise and set, as well the hero is born and passed on. We strongly thank the family because you injected immeasurable level funds for treatment but nature contradict yours and our wishes.
Rest in Peace Uncle Lual Diing Wol-Baba Africa!
