South Sudan acrimonious relationship with African Union, IGAD and the UN
By Michael Chol Tor Deng, Juba, South Sudan
August 15, 2016 (SSB) — We all need to understand that a good relationship is about sharing ideas and enjoying moments with each other as well as sharing some of the painful experiences we may go through in life. This should rank top in vital or essential relationship. I might be wrong to assume that AU and IGAD wrongs doing, may affect South Sudan relationship due to Africans daily business.
African Union and IGAD were formed and the aimed were to unite Africans and Africa continent regarding Africa insecurity, the two organizations have been turned away from their rights to wrongs pathway of insecure leaders within for self interests therefore, the two organizations have turned to ruin line that driven them to demolish Africa motherland intentionally to get rich or well-off wealthy.
Let’s begin with the obvious or understandable. Most men in AU and IGAD feel inadequate when they compare themselves with other men who are more successful. They feel intimidated or scared when some corresponding person stand as pole working and learning together with other counterpart men who drive better cars, have better job and seem to have everything going for them.
For example shoe polisher men are driving “V8” car in South Sudan. It has in truth surprised all, how such men can drive a good car like this while African leaders are driving PROBOX car we better go in and get rich as AU and IGAD leaders thought.
AU and IGAD heads are paranoia. Heads who struggle with deep feelings of insecurity are often concerned that politicians in their state houses might silently doubt their leadership ability. They have become paranoia that some people in their audiences or viewers are conspiring or plotting behind the scenes to undermine their leadership.
This illegitimated fear and insecurity makes it difficult for the senior politicians to open up the pulpit, platform or podium to associate politician because of a feeling that someone is planning to overthrow them from their leadership role. Many countries in Africa have suffered serious setback owing to insecure politician who continually stifle or suffocate the efforts of those who desire to serve.
Jealousy is another indicator that a leader is struggling with insecurity is his jealousy reaction towards members of his political team. AU and IGAD as an Africa Organizations have shown their intention to devastate South Sudan to enable them as stakeholders in Organization massive benefits from South Sudan. Unfortunately, our closer sister countries have sided to support rebels in South Sudan and as a result of support, the rebel’s leader might have been promised them by way of something after he overthrow their South Sudan counterpart.
Last but not the least, South Sudan relationship with AU and IGAD Country members might have been deteriorated or get worse for the reason be, as some leaders have shown self interests intentionally to ransack a youngest nation in Africa.
South Sudan person in charge H.E the president of the Republic of South Sudan, SPLA commander in chief as well as regular forces and chairperson of the ruling party SPLM would have reacted negatively seeking moreover alternatives to close South Sudan Embassies from some Countries who deeply involved and also dismiss their Ambassadors as protest signal to envy and resentment business as observed.
As analyze, South Sudan is benefiting nothing in some other countries as member of AU and IGAD.
Yes, as new nation we are learning from our neighboring countries as they AU and IGAD members have benefited from their own different businesses in South Sudan. For example; most of their people might be working with NGOs, foreign Embassies such as USA, EU, Norway, UNMISS etc and the majority of Africa civil construction companies are given permanent contracts entirely.
Look! Most of employees’ in different hotels, restaurants, bars, saloons, cyber centers’, lodges, Lavatories cashiers, Bus/Ha’yiis (Ma’tatu) drivers/conductors, motorbike drivers, Teachers, watchmen, nurses in Private clinics, Civil maintenance businesses, Bank’s managers, money transfer centers’, they are Africans from different Countries such as Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Africa, Congo etc.
Some people might have been involved in crimes or doom activities as facilitators to make thing easier for criminal success at night in Juba; therefore, some of them were arrested as those whose job to design and forge State house letterheads, stamps and president signature resourcefully.
It is earthquake, a gossip tells everything, but a true friend will keep a secret. AU and IGAD tells everything to USA, UN, EU and UNSC and be proud has the thoughts as goodness but let me tell u, a Country without wise leaders will end up in ruin meanwhile a Country with many wise leaders will be kept safe. The president of South Sudan is a wise man he treated all foreigners equally with nationalists.
There is something else that doesn’t make sense to me. Good citizens are treated as criminals, while criminals are honored as though they were good citizens. So I think we should get as much out of life as we possibly can. I realized that no one can really understand what happens in South Sudan. We may be very wise, but no matter how much we try or how much we claim to know, we cannot understand it all from heartless African leaders.
Once I saw what people really think of wisdom. It happened when powerful rulers surrounded and attacked a small Country like South Sudan where only a few people lived. The enemy army was getting ready to break through the Country walls. But the Country was saved by the wisdom of a poor person who was soon forgotten.
So I decided that wisdom is better than strength. H.E the president of South Sudan is wised and is man of confrontation, the man of wisdom words who deserves respect. Yet if you are poor, no one pays any attention to you, no matter how smart you are but keep our relationship with them. Because AU and IGAD they know nothing about rights deeds.
