Twic East is set to attain yet another independence after enduring a long and exhausting struggle for identity — from Bor District, Kongor District, Greater Bor, and finally breaking away from Twicda ku Dukeen (TKD).
This marks the fourth independence, making history as the only community to have undergone a complete political metamorphosis — much like an insect that refuses to stop evolving.
This latest “liberation” comes after what Twic leaders described as a territorial invasion — when the Hol community from Dukeen took full control of Buothagany landing site, while Lok of Nyarweng boldly declared themselves the legitimate owners of Gadiang, a land Twic also claims.
Such developments provoked the Twic East Youth Chairman, who passionately called on all youth in Juba to “go home and reclaim the motherland.” The youth cheered, clapped, and vowed to move immediately.
However, when the buses were finally brought for the grand return, not a single youth showed up — proving once again that Twic East might win wars of words faster than wars of territory.
Happy Fourth Independence, Jieng Twic — the only community that evolves politically more often than a butterfly changes wings!
