War Against Mading Aweil is a War Against President Salva Kiir Mayardit
*********************************************
By Bak Aguer Mou
I'm one of the most loyal supporters of President Kiir, and I believe none of his children or community can say they truly love him more than me or many of Mading Aweil People.
I've always believed President Kiir truly loves this country and its people, and his intentions and actions since liberation struggle to independence have always been in good faith drawn from his patriotism towards this country and love for its people.
In my observation, he's one of the most loving, peaceful, loyal and honest people that ever exist, and everytime he's forced to act differently is just because he has no other alternative available than to defend himself and the throne he was chosen to safely give to rightful caretakers.
When the country first fall into crisis, it was because he demanded accountability from those who misappropriated the country's resources, then began a journey of loyalty governance and compromising peace agreements leaving the anticipated developmental projects unattended to. He was then conditioned to protect the country from those who intended to take it by force when he believed the approach wasn't appropriate.
So he tried to work with those he believed trust his leadership but sadly those he worked with only disagree with him when they're out of government and couldn't do their work right when assigned but only see what's wrong with the government when they're relieved---so he began looking for solution(Relieve, Appoint & Reappoint). This is where too many political groups were birthed and it couldn't stop because he's pushed by peace agreements to accommodate many people, this is the exodus to 5 vice presidents and Parliament was filled with many including those who couldn't complete single sentence in English as John Agany put it---this is just for the sake of peace and he have to accept it because of his peaceful nature.
Now President Kiir being caught by old age, liberation injuries and stress of leadership struggle, unprepared and because of circumstances of political status, have to still rely on loyalty and that's one of the reasons why he appointed some of his own children and those close to him into different parts of the government.
But sadly, because of old age, liberation injuries and stress of leadership struggle, he couldn't detect those who are not directly or indirectly loyal to him, and worse of it those he trusted are working against him, his William-Deng-Garang-Benys and the country he loves dearly.
When he reaches out for advice, he only gets those who tell him let them eat frogs, snakes and lizards when they're hungry. And these are people he trusted since liberation struggle.
While maintaining loyalty, his own people especially those he trusted began to eat each other and tried to collide themselves against each other and him(president).
Then came a situation where there are people he cannot relieve or disown because ghfdghhhjjjy and those came with their own imperfections, so whether they know it or not, they can't challenge me in loving our president genuinely. They haven't done their job properly by protecting the legacy of our president and keep his people united.
It's sad that my president is being managed by those who don't truly love him or do not know how to love an old leader or parent especially the one who had values that shaped history.
Despite my age, I could make good president's advisor compared to those who distance him from his own values and set him to lose the influence that's rightfully his.
