SPLM-IO women league in the USA declares allegiance to the 1st VP Taban Deng Ghai
4 min read“Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.” Martin Luther King
October 3, 2016 (SSB) —- Today, inspired and touched by the exceptional leadership skills, humility and charisma of His Excellency General Taban Deng Gai, First Vice President of the Republic of South Sudan, Chairman and Commander in Chief of the SPLM/ SPLA-IO, I am officially declaring my allegiance and my unwavering support to the SPLM/SPLA-IO under the leadership of His Excellency General Taban Deng Gai, First Vice of the Republic of South Sudan who is implementing peace agreement in South Sudan.
The People of South Sudan have suffered for too long and have endured the most inhumane and cruel destructive and devastating war for the last four decades. It is time we seek peace and work for it so that our people return to their homes and rebuild their lives. We are tired of war. We are tired of displacement. We are tired of destruction. We are tired of being Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs) and Refugees in other Countries. We are tired of violence. We must end violent now and work for Peace and Stability for our beloved Country. We the Women must embrace peace not war!
With these few words, I am calling upon all the membership of the SPLM/ SPLA-IO who are still pursuing violence means to denounce violence and join His Excellency General Taban Deng Gai, First Vice of the Republic of South Sudan and work together with him to bring sustainable peace and stability for our people and restore confident and the trust lost during the senseless two years’ war between communities and people’s.
By working for Peace and Stability, we will be creating conducive environment for National Reconciliation and Healing among our people and build the broken social bonds destroyed by the war.
I commend the spirit of cooperation between His Excellency General Salva Kiir Mayardit, President of the Republic of South Sudan and His Excellency General Taban Deng Gai, First Vice President of the Republic of South Sudan for working cooperatively in bringing peace and implementing the peace agreement in the Republic of South Sudan.
I also commend General Taban Deng Gai for having more Representation of Nuer in the Government, 6 Ministers and 1 Deputy Minister (Amb. Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth of Petroleum and Ms. Sophia Pal Gai of Water Resources and Irrigation from Jikany Nuer, Hon. Hussein Mar Nyuot of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management and Hon. Yien Oral Tut Lam of Higher Education, Science and Technology from Lou Nuer, General Gabriel Duop Lam of Labor, Public Service and Human Resource Development of Fangak Nuer and Michael Chiangjiek Gai of Interior and Riaw Gatlier Gai of Deputy Minister of Interior from Bentiu Nuer) compare to Riek Machar giving Nuer 3 Ministers and 1 Deputy Minister.
Also the Nuer Women are represented with one full Minister, Ms. Sophia Pal Gai, but with Angelina Jany Teny and Riek Machar the Nuer Women were not represented.
