July 15, 2016 (SSB) — As South Sudan struggle to gains its own ground as sovereign state, foreign tutelage are  on  rise in different  forms  and  fronts with an intentions  of  robbing  South Sudanese  people  in the bright day  light.  What unrealistic world led by imperial and capitalist elite states?

The United Nations (UN) led by elite states intention to invade South Sudan sovereign and integrity is not about South Sudan leadership crisis but about South Sudanese resources, of which super power capitalist states set their eyes on.

The focus of capitalists since political crisis upsurge in our country is on how to mobilize other states under United Nations springboard as ready ground to drive their own agenda of robbing South Sudanese resources, which are the hearts of the ongoing foreign tutelage violent in South Sudan.

This  is critical time for  all  South Sudanese people to rise above their  tribal cocoons and  protect national integrity by all  possible means, if  unrealistic call to  bring  in  foreign troops  without prior  knowledge  of  the South Sudanese people materialize.

The spirit of nationalism that inspired million South Sudanese dead and  alive to  fought for independence struggle must  be  revisited by all of  us,  despite which  group, we ,  you  and  I  belong in this  senseless conflict.

It’s enough and enough for us to let national cohesion drive us together as South Sudanese people against foreign tutelage government or interference.

The national cohesiveness should be embraced in order to takes hold in the consciousness of our people, especially foreign-bought South Sudanese nationals should reconsider their positions and wrong path that they have taken  against  their  own country sovereignty  and territorial  integrity.

However, the cajolement, the wheedling, the seduction and Trojan horses of neocolonialism activities in South Sudan advocated by capitalist global institution like of (UN) must be stoutly resisted.

At  personal  level,  I  strongly  agree with  one  of  Pan  African founding  leaders,  who said  ”neocolonialism is a latter-day harpy, a monster which entices its victims with sweet music”.

The capitalist or imperialist states far face serious economic and social difficulties too compared to us, which they are interested to loot our resources under the ticket of UN trustee flagship.

The political action plans designed by UN members of capitalist states are aimed to supplement agenda of regime change in our country, which is a red-line to jump over by foreign forces.

The leadership in South Sudan was  brought to  power  by  South Sudanese  people,  and  will  only  be  changed  by  South Sudanese people without influence of  foreign states.

The ongoing war since inception in South Sudan was designed by foreign nations and use shallow -headed South Sudanese nationals to execute it for them.

Nevertheless, if God is with us as South Sudanese people, supporting our integrity and sovereignty then, we together will turn the UN stumbling block into a stepping stone.

The  war  wage by  South Sudanese enemies of  peace and progress can soon  be an  opportunity for us to  committed for  excellence,   as we struggle to bound into  single unit as  South Sudanese  people.

Our determination to build standing institutions, army, communication network and articulated educational system in our country, will only be realized if we rise above our personal ambition and abandon uncalled for rebellion.

The current war in our country is deeply influenced by the foreign presence in different forms, while carrying activities that definitely undermine national characters of the nation.

In order to be able to carry out this resistance to neo-colonialism at every point, Positive action requires to be armed with an ideology of South Sudanization, an ideology which, vitalizing it, and operating through a mass party with a regenerative concept of do it ourselves.

The leadership under SPLM should forge for it a strong continuing link with our past and offer to it an assured bond with our future. Under the searchlight of an ideology, every fact affecting the life of a people can be assessed and judged, and neo-colonialism’s detrimental aspirations and sleights of hand will constantly stand.

 In order that this ideology should be comprehensive, in order that it should light up every aspect of the life of our people, in order that it should affect the total interest of our society, establishing continuity with our past, it must be socialist in form and in content, which meet our interest as African people.

 South  Sudan is  a country  of contradictions,  many  believed , full  of  promise for growth,  modernity and progress,  yet shrouded by  political , social and cultural matters that  undermine its  quest for  identity and integrity fueled  by  foreign hands behind  its scene  of  conflict,   which  is  so  dangerous  to  our  future  as sovereign  state.

This is time for the leadership under SPLM to provide cohesive ideology to command the loyalty of all South Sudanese against unwanted influence of foreign nationals in country political affairs.

We, as nation have  potential  Generals within ranks  and  files of our national  army  and  other  organized  forces to  inspire the majority of South Sudanese people  against UN quest of  power in South Sudan.

Hence,  emancipation of  South Sudan  is  equally emancipation of other  African resources  rich  nations,  from  imperial  western countries,   which  always  create  mayhem wherever  they chooses  in order  to  give  them chance  to loot  underneath minerals.

The  number of  men and women who can formable force filled with an honest but vague longing for the emancipation of  the country , ready to follow any plausible leader , whom in  their heart of hearts , they believe to be wholly against the foreign tutelage in South Sudan is  on rise day and night.

Our  politicians  who  support intervention  of  UN forces  lacked deep analytical mind ,  which  so  vital in political game  and  the current  crisis  in our country  needed political  ruminative thinkers.

Albeit,  intervention  of  UN forces is  an  affronts to  our  pride and sovereignty,  as  country, which cannot go unchecked. “A patriot must always be ready to defend his/her country against foreign influence that jeopardize national characters and pride.”
