SPLM, the ruling party, my own party
By John Akeen Akol, Kampala- Uganda
February 3, 2017 (SSB) — I wish my parents would have named me ‘’SPLM’’ as I was exactly born the very day (1983), when visionary leader Dr. John Garang founded this great party (SPLM) with clear objectives and mission ( freedom).
As I grown up and started my education in SPLM/SPLA liberated area, there was no doubt for bright future of South Sudan and always moved by Dr. John Garang speeches as referring SPLM party as people party.
Your own movement and SPLM government has today delivered you peace, this peace agreement does not belong to Dr. John Garang or Ali Osman Taha, It belong to all Sudanese, tears on my cheeks as I am writing this piece of article, we lost great leader, R.I.P, you always be remembered in every walk of life, the leader that value people and put people first.
However, the wake of 2013 crisis which baptized SPLM with many names such as SPLM. FDs, SPLM.IG, SPLM, DC, SPLM. Concern and SPLM.IO made SPLM lost creditability and everything become in opposition in SPLM even our own SPLM we know become in opposition SPLM to its own citizen.
Does SPLM of today is people Party?
Thanks
