By Monychol Kulong, Juba, South Sudan
August 8, 2016 (SSB) — I wonder how I can differentiate ‘YES or NO’ in South Sudan! A human being should stand in his/her YES for yes and No for no. My President, I wish I had a God miracle today, (6th/Aug/2016) then I would have appeared in your palace and condensed you into child side and I start beating seriously.
Even when I was watching news, if you were to be nearby I would have lost self-control and slap you extremely to show my disappointment over the return of the team which you dispatched to attend African summit in Addis Ababa for the negotiation of foreign intervention to South Sudan.
Even if you didn’t go to Addis Abba, they were working under your directives. HOW MANY TIMES WILL YOU DO THIS TO SOUTH SUDANESE?
If not because of your heavy bodyguards or where 99% think if you are looking for president then you are going to beg. Then I would have come to your office and I argue with you to show my angriness’. I will be caring less about my life whatever the security will do to me afterward as long as I have vomited out my grievances in my chest. I’m really maddened beyond description.
I’m wearied of reversing verdicts all the time. I can count three major things which had happened like this. In Pathou issue; “you told Ban Ki-Moon, I am not under your command to order me so that our soldiers are withdrawn.’’ Within that the same time the public went for public demonstration supporting your idea in all streets of South Sudan including the diaspora.
The following few days later, we hear withdrawal is implemented. Again, the issue of two Armies came up in peace negotiation in Addis Abba with SPLA /IO and IGAD. You rejected it; public protest was conducted again behind you. Yet again you signed it with reservations but it protected nothing and that brought us into evidence of J1 incident on 8th/July/2016.
Thirdly, you clearly said “no International or Foreigner Troops intervention or no single soldier can enter into South Sudan borderline.” It was accepted by all citizens and they went out in masses even currently some States are still doing it.
Do you know the worst part of it? Why do you make/allow public to demonstrate if you know you will amend the decisions? I saw those of Makuei and Ezekiel saying intervention isn’t coming but Protection Unit for JMEC and IDPs. No different between Protection Unit and Foreign troop’s intervention, I need someone to elaborate on that including no single soldier can touch our soil if you are telling me there is no dissimilar.
Who are the enemies of JMEC in South Sudan? I really need clear explanation from your team or JMEC incase this article reached them. That raises my eyebrows that JMEC are unfair as central group to bring peace to South Sudan. Because if I (Monychol) a peacemaker or mediator to certain groups. I wouldn’t fear any because am doing justice to all in good faith with no doubts.
But if am not sitting on the fence then I would demand protection. IDPs protection, what of UNMISS? My mind is bursting up with many questions unanswerable.
My dear president, citizens who went for demonstration via rallies, articles, letters or whatever means to show their resentment not because of your popularity but for the sake of love, loyalty and patriotism they have for this country which our Heroes and Heroines cemented their dear blood for our liberation.
Not all of us support your leadership. If it was so, why did opposition parties which are registered officially to oppose your government also went? It means they see what is coming isn’t for you alone or your supporters but general or common problem for all. Do you know how many are making treatment now?
Due to hot sun they moved in it or some are having throats problem because of shouting they have made all over here and there while you are busying altering what cause them these sicknesses. If wasn’t because I have low blood, I would have developed heart-attack or blood pressure. And I can’t deny that there might be some who will not escape those.
I don’t know what shake your government when you have public behind you. I wonder what is our unlike with Burundi? Their president wasn’t even reinforced by his citizens but still he sticks into his point, “no foreign troop’s intervention in his country.” Anyway, I have seen the different; here you go for meetings, negotiations or summits with them but for him, no!
He blocks all those moves that will be nurturing him. There were those who never dreamt of charming a soldier but they were ready to take arm against any foreigner troop’s intervention if they step their feet into our land especially when the leadership stands firm in its positions.
I have to be honest to you my president. If am not top among those who are having the same feeling of annoyance then take it. Your action of accepting single soldier to protect JMEC, UNMISS, and CITIZENS or whatever they called it, have defeated the joy of the public.
You made those who didn’t go for rallies giggled us proudly, we feel humiliated and shamed of what we were blissful. WHOM ARE YOU SERVING BETWEEN US AND THE OUTSIDERS INTERESTING GROUP? HOW WILL WE ENTRUST YOU BEYOND THIS WITH OUR AFFAIRS?
