Mr Aguer Rual: A lonely wolf and unlucky lottery seeker in the South Sudanese political affairs
By Adhar A. Chol, Victoria-Australia
March 4, 2016 (SSB) —- After constructive consultation with Warrap State, SPLM/IO Victoria Chapter and SPLM/IO Australia Mission, I decided to respond to Mr Rual’s short sighted defection to refute his misleading claims of splitting People’s Movement, and his unintellectual charges against SPLM/IO leadership, which falsely claims that the top leadership has been running movement as its own property. I wish to assure the readers that People’s Movement cannot be divided by people who do not practice what they preach and do not understand ultimate reform agenda that the SPLM/IO and the South Sudanese are yearning for.
The chance of winning lottery is one in millions. The phrase applies to Mr. Aguer Rual political gambling and self-centric egoism. There is no room for opportunists’ egos centred ambitions in SPLM-A/IO as the people’s Movement declares not to entertain position seekers anymore and the real struggle has just begun.
Leadership is not simply a concept, however, a disciplinary field that has numerous and countless definitions and a road to self-discovery. Leaders are morally accountable for their acts. The more the leaders know about themselves, the better they lead others. This fact about the leadership is hardly observed and instituted in likeminded visionless individuals like Mr Rual.
Mr Rual’s erstwhile apology letter to Salva Kiir two months ago was in fact a confirmation of his later defection. South Sudanese and the world at large, know Mr Rual’s defection was an event waiting to erupt at any time. The public has seen his defection coming in his bow-low apology letter where he asserted that it was his entire fault for he didn’t know what he was doing?!!!! His failure to fathom the injustices inflicted against our beloved and innocent people by tribal regime of Savla Kiir is, an extreme act of unfaithfulness and infidelity, which should not be applauded but condemned in strongest term possible.
My past twelve years personal experience with Mr Rual made me concluded that he is a forlorn internecine individual who possess severe and unpleasant satanic egocentric attitudes. He is a person who has no interests in supporting and nurturing others, whatsoever, he only believes in himself and blindly thinks the world revolves around him.
Surely, it’s an absolute misuse of my precious and demanding time to response to his irresponsible, shameful and reasonless defection, for I am in my complete awareness that spotlight is where he attain his excitement; however, I must admit that I am gravely enraged and forced by the fact that he heartlessly use Juba massacre and ongoing severe suffering of our resilient and proud people as an agile high way to implement his satanic inconsiderable interests. Our innocent citizens were maimed and killed indiscriminately not only because of their political belief but also because of who they were.
The Nuer nation’s equal rights before the law and before the supreme eyes of other South Sudanese to exist in South Sudan was attempted to be denied by Mathiang Anyoor forces of Salva Kiir and Paul Malong Awan; however, people like us stood tall and spoke loud by condemning Kiir and Malong’s actions. We are prepared to pay whatever costs it will take to ensure South Sudan’s ill-governing system under Kiir and his stooges is reformed once and for all.
It’s extremely absurd for Mr Rual to level People’s Movement as a ‘so called SPLM-A/IO’ and at the same time feel pretty safe to proudly use the titles of our party. The SPLM/IO has groomed Mr Rual from no –where to top executive positions including ambassadorship, governorship and advisory position-the very heart of leadership, which he has never been dreaming of in his entirely live. Regardless of how much he has been hailed high, Mr Rual has spiralled back to square one and damaged his legacy simply because of few dollars that Kiir’s bribery and corruptive regime provided him.
It is now apparent that Mr Rual’s reasons to joining SPLM/IG were neither in line with implementation of peace agreement, nor an implementation of Arusha reunification agreement; however, rather is merely an implementation of his own interests. As his vision and ambition are centred around material wealth and power, it is an evidence it will not take him sometime to defect from Kiir’s regime unless the regime keeps providing him with materials he needs. Mr Rual has been longing to go to South Sudan; however, his previous violent toward South Sudanese were impediments. He therefore took advantages of People’s Movement to tint himself. His decisions to joining SPLM/IG, is an elusive. He is a lonely wolf, who has no support. All our commanders and politicians have confirmed their allegiance and loyalty to SPLM-A/IO and its leadership.
Charging SPLM-A/IO leadership with bloodshed, devastation and treachery is the wildest scratch of imagination for self-centric people like Mr Rual who has no public interests. SPLM-A/IO leadership is the most consultative and practice democracy in any decision making with tremendous openness for different views.
Mr Rual’s departure from People’s Movement is not an ideological departure but it’s simply more of personal and will cost no-harm to People’s Movement. We wish Mr Rual good luck in his primitive political quest.
VIVA, VIVA SPLM/IO WE SHALL WIN.
