SOUTH SUDANESE CANNOT BE DEPRIVED OF THEIR HUMANITY: A REBUTTAL TO MAJ. GEN. L*L RUAI KOANG, THE SSPDF SPOKESPERSON
It has come to my attention, Maj. Gen. L*l Ruai the military spokesperson of SSPDF wrote a piece in which he accused me and Dr. Riek Machar of the deteriorating Political and security situation in Lou area and South Sudan at large. Let it be known as follows:
1. At the dawn of 2013 life was normal in South Sudan, I was doing my own business as a member of SPLM, a university lecturer, a political analyst and researcher. They were well paying jobs.
2. The Political meltdown that commenced on March 5th 2013 within the SPLM led to fateful December 15th 2013 and the genocide that followed in Juba and around the Country. Masses including I and Dr. Riek fled Juba for safety of own life.
3. I left my jobs that were my sources of livelihood for me, my family and relatives in search for the good state, and goodness of humanity. Not because my community was attacked or targeted but because humanity was under attack in South Sudan. People were being butchered in the Country.
4. I was compelled by the inspiration of the generations of our fore fathers and sacrifice of our martyrs since the inception of the idea of South Sudan as a Country for justice, equality, and prosperity. I made an impactful decision on my life and that of my family. For L*l Ruai, the scenario of December 15th 2013, was a political honeymoon and feasts.
5. Killing men, women and children in their homes, villages, Churches, police stations, in offices, work places and destruction/confiscations of their property/livelihood on account of genes/tribe or ethnic group by regime militias is what made me leave everything I was doing in 2013 and joined the rest of South Sudanese in their agony and quest for better society.
6. Hearing leaders like L*l et al from affected communities, character assassinating and spreading propaganda against me and Riek and those who are fighting to advance the course of humanity, civilization and accountability in South Sudan is absurd.
7. There is no evil to compare, attempting to wipeout or cleanse humanity from the face of the earth is not only unacceptable but also must be rejected and opposed by all means. The regime that masterminded the genocide cannot be praised or cheered.
8. What happened in December 2013, it was not a Nuer ethnic group being targeted, it was South Sudanese, it was Africans , it was humanity being targeted and killed in South Sudan. Illiterate and ignorant leaders in South Sudan should not be allowed to trivialize this bloody crusade.
9. Unfortunately, leaders from affected communities in South Sudan turned their backs on the Holocaust against the victims for love for position, money, comfort that the same bloody regime can offer them. After achieving these material benefits, they are attempting to rewrite the history of South Sudan that between December 15th 2013 and 2025, there was no war, no genocide, no ethnic profiling, no corruption, no dictatorship, no tribalism, no state capture, no humanitarian crisis but it was the campaign of the "Owner of the Cow." Moreover, the refugees and IDP getting stuck in their displacements with children not going to school and no hospital and clean water leave alone over 400,000 lives lost.
10. The indifference of the leaders like L*l Ruai, depicts the highest state of moral bankruptcy and that humanity doesn't matter as long as you can be paid filthy money at the expense of deaths and destruction of a country. Leaders without God and religions, without morality, without standards and without principles should not only be allowed to lead in South Sudan but also their communities. Such leaders must never be allowed to ascend into any public office. They have no five senses and no standards. Uncivilized and savages that are trading on the blood and destruction of their communities and destruction of the Country. How can they serve and protect the people of South Sudan if they cannot serve and protect their own selves and the people.
11. If the world had no standards, principles, law and order, good ideas and values, there would be no education, no universities, no international system, no UN system, no international law, no World Bank, no IMF, no law and order etc. How can South Sudan be constructed without principles and mortality. How can all the chaos between 2013 and 2025 be reduced to Oyet and Riek and Lou Nuer.
