When hungry vultures fight over a carcass, none can claim to be the savior of the living, for their quarrel is never in justice for the dead but in greed for the last bite. Likewise, the hands that looted yesterday do not become clean by pointing at todayโs thief. A system built on greed does not transform when faces changeโonly the hands that feast take turns at the table.
A house built on corruption does not collapse because one thief is removed; it only waits for the next to take his share. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ is not that it is being looted todayโit has always been looted, only by different hands, at different times, while the people suffer in silence. ๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ต๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฎ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐น๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐, ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐ท๐๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ; ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ธโ๐๐ต๐ผ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒโ๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐?
For years, ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ has been cursedโnot by nature, not by fate, but by the greedy, gluttonous vultures who hover over it, tearing apart its flesh while pretending to be its protectors. These vultures, swollen with stolen wealth, have fed so long on the misery of the people that their stomachs no longer feel shame, only endless hunger for more.
Their insatiable greed has left the people of Unity State in perpetual suffering, as they trade power amongst themselves like a game of chess where the winner is always the one who can loot the most before being removed.
If todayโs rulers are sinking the state, then what was happening in all the years before? Did the state flourish? Was there progress? Did hospitals rise? Did roads get built? Did schools improve? No! Not even a toilet was constructed for the state assembly, let alone meaningful development. So, I askโwere the people blind, or were their mouths too full to speak? Was the suffering of the people not visible then, or was it simply ignored because the looters were familiar faces?
And now, as usual, their sycophants and shameless bootlickers are fightingโnot for justice, not for the people, but because their bellies are empty. The hungry dogs of patronage have turned on each other, barking and biting because some were left out of the latest feast. This is not a battle between right and wrongโit is a proxy war of the plate, fought between different factions of the same corrupt system.

To the youth of Bentiu, beware! Many of you have become nothing more than foot soldiers for thieves. Some hold PhDs in sycophancy, others boast masterโs degrees in bootlicking, and the rest proudly carry diplomas in stomach politics. Instead of standing for truth and justice, you allow yourselves to be used as weapons in a war where the prize is not development, not peace, not prosperityโbut control over the stateโs stolen wealth.
Yet, when these vultures finish fighting and a winner emerges, will your suffering end? No. You will still be poor, still be jobless, still be voiceless. The only thing that will change is which thief is sitting on the throne, while the rest wait for their turn to loot.
If we genuinely seek change, letโs stop pretending that removing one face from the table will cleanse a system that has been rotten from the roots. A tree that has been poisoned for years will not bear good fruit simply because one branch is cut off. Unity State has been a business for the political elite, a personal ATM for those who rule it, and an experiment in how much suffering people can endure before they break.
The biggest mistake is believing that simply replacing one leader will bring salvation. A house built on theft will never stand strong, no matter how many times you repaint it. The birds of the same feather have been feasting togetherโonly now, one is pretending to be clean. But the people are watching, and history will record every deception, every betrayal, and every leader who chose their pockets over their people.
May the curse of Unity State be brokenโbut only when the people rise and refuse to be pawns in this endless game of thieves. Until then, the vultures will continue to feast, and the people will continue to suffer.
