South Sudan: A swimming pool for foreigners with vested interests and ulterior motives?
By Michael Chol Tor, Juba, South Sudan
August 18, 2016 (SSB) — South Sudanese were all united under Sudan people’s Liberation Army and movement SPLA/M umbrella before independent. The SPLA was founded as a guerrilla movement in 1983 and was a key participant of the 2nd Sudanese Civil war. He was succeeded by his chief of staff, Mr. Salva Kiir Mayardit, a co-founder of the SPLA/M.
The SPLM was originally the political wing of the SPLA, an insurgency that waged for 22 years against Khartoum based government of Sudan, before joining the national government in 2005 peace deal that also made SPLM as the ruling party in Southern Sudan.
The 2005 CPA established the SPLA as Sudanese army in Southern Sudan while Sudan Army Force (SAF) was considered the army of northern Sudan. The SPLM has ruled South Sudan since the CPA and won elections in 2010, securing its position as the dominant political force ahead of the country’s vote for independence in 2011.
We all fought for victory and we stood together as South Sudanese to achieve the independent as ambition. It was communal career for all South Sudanese to decide through self-determination (referendum). The referendum was one of the consequences of the Naivasha Agreement between Khartoum Central government and Sudan People’s Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M).
South Sudanese independence results 2011 between YES and NO were dumbfounded, YES votes were 3,792,18 by means of 98.83% while NO votes were 3,837,406 by funds of 99.62% and invalid votes were 14,588 by cremations of 0.38%.
Total votes were 3,851,994 by incomes of 100.00% and registered votes or turnout were 97.58%. My fellows South Sudanese I am ultimately overconfident of being free and as young man who had scarifies during self-determination (referendum) process as referendum took place in Southern Sudan from 9th to 15th January, 2011 on whether the region should remain a part of Sudan or become independent.
After the independent we got divided, yet one mistake can destroy all the good we have done as South Sudanese. Indeed, we were conservative development, evolution, advancement, stability, peace and solidarity. Unfortunately, we were led into meaningless, senseless, irrationalness and worthless war.
Here, there is no clear reason of fighting one another; because we all fought for freedom as well as independent beside one man to accomplish one goal of self-governing.
On 9th July, 2011 South Sudan became a self-governing country and it has been recognized by international Community bodies such as UN, UNMISS, EU, UNSC, AU and IGAD. This political Phenomenon has been created by South Sudan Judas Iscariot the unfaithful servant in country.
Many theories and models are helping to understand human behaviors, especially political behaviors. According to Mr. Olson 1981 theories are representation or abstract conceptualizations that represent individual behaviors.
If I say, is so what? I’m annoying to tell audience the truths and as a result of negligent from government, all entrance halls or doorways were all opened for foreigners to appeared in haphazardly with expired political ideas as partners. But the question is this, Did South Sudan become a global supermarket where all allowed to come for shopping?
International ambassadorial in South Sudan is Chuang Jieeng Lai by Dinka allegory, meant contradiction. International community acts as marketers for political marketing strategy; the key task of marketing is to create negative, pessimistic, unhelpful, downbeat, depressing and harmful value as judged.
Before embarking or going aboard on value creation, marketers should appreciate various dynamic that drive South Sudan behaviors which favored their unconstructive marketing behaviors.
In bible we are taught to tell the truths and truths will set us free. On 2012 Dr. Francis Ayul Yuar asked an important question when he said, “Did SPLM\A becomes a just drinking clubs where anyone with money buys and drink? Will this party proof the length of time since he doesn’t care of its own?”
Dr. Francis Ayul was totally right because South Sudan has become swimming pool where anyone is allowed to train. Will this government verify measurements of years since he doesn’t concerned of its affairs?
South Sudanese have been confused by unfortunate, unlucky, inopportune, regrettable misbehaviors of NGOs in new nation. For that reasons, the gatekeepers, Tea makers, shoe polishers, Pastoralists, Traditional leaders, clergymen, witchcraft men and women, Agriculturalists, ongoing schools children, bus conductors and drivers, dealers, blinders and deafens are involved in politics in South Sudan. Is that not a Chuang Jieeng Lai?
For me it means opinionated schools are effortless and as a result anyone can quit academic schools and joint politic. We are totally wrong. God has given us difference talent. What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When we come together, everyone has an experience, skill, knowledge, diplomat, advice, rule and regulation, or an instruction. All of these must be done for the strengthening of new nation.
New nation has become swimming pool for foreigners therefore is just being push into anguish or torture by indignity, ignominy, discomfiture and dishonest politicians to invade. Indeed, here I can recommend the functions of community coalition to be adapted to maintain our nationalism and make us unique from other type of community members in the world.
These functions will contribute effectively for us to address our goals and objectives to create the community solidarity as South Sudanese. As new nation we need the following key steps to be adapted. Create collaborative capacity, Building community capacity and faster change at the local level.
The political misconceptions have an impact ideology on intellectuals; therefore, we fight each other in South Sudan and all those will take us nowhere the more non-politicians involved in politic the more conflict explode between us.
Most of young people shouldn’t be very keen with politic. Politic without political background is a devastated of time for nonsensical and insincere business.
