Kiir says SPLM does not contemplate Sudan peace collapse
Bravo, Bravo and bravo our beloved President for still keeping your knowledge and wisdom about Arabs (NCP)’s tricks. The reshuffling of cabinet ministers is not the end but it is a tool of implementing CPA.

We very much support your idea of keeping that bold decision until the out standing issues are addressed.

I think you remember that Sudan will never and never be the same not because of the resources we have as people look at it, but because of new generation of New Sudan who are not like those who fought Anya-nya 1 and sign a partial Adis-Abbaba Agreement.

Bravo once again

Kiir says SPLM does not contemplate Sudan peace collapse
This week, People of Sudan have eye witnessed the second vice president of Sudan Mr Ali giving a press conference on Sudan national television!
All including myself were listening to his speech with full attention!
Why? because people wanted to know exactly what provoked the sudden withdrawal of SPLA/M from the government of national unity (GoUN).

Thus, majority of Sudanese people (including myself) were interested to listen to Mr Ali’s speech as they want to make sense of SPLA/M finger pointing to National Congress Party (NCP) that the later is violating the comprehensive peace agreement (CPA) by not implementing certain issues such as reshuffle of Dr Lam’s post(dealt with), Abeyi standoff, demarcation of South-North boundaries, and lack of transference concerning how many barrels of oils are sold-out daily by GoUN(that should have included SPLA/M) and so on!

According to me (in my opinion),Mr Ali seemed to be more trustworthy than his counterpart the SPLA/M! Why? because he didn’t not just defend his government by denial of SPLA/ M allegations but also managed to reveal some SPLA/M weaknesses concerning various matters such as the fraudulent manner with which the SPLA/M-dominated GoSS is handling the public money in South Sudan, hindrance or suppression of liberty of people of south Sudan by SPLA/M and so on!

Mr Ali asked a very important question about what SPLA/M has delivered to people of South Sudan to this moment, he indirectly accused SPLA/M of corruption when he confirmed that there is a monthly report/review about how much money the SPLA/M-led GoSS is receiving as its divide out of the oil revenue! Mr Ali also mentioned the hundreds of millions of dollars that the GoUN gave to GoSS to support what he called vital public developmental projects such improvement of health, roads building in South Sudan (including Juba the capital of GoSS)and educations!! those projects are supposed to be the priority of GoSS I am sure many people will agree with me!

However, it is not fair for one to verdict SPLA/M as blameworthy before one listen to its part of the story! Thus, for the SPLA/M to be considered honest and trustworthy it must come on National Television to tell the world about its part of the story so as to disprove NCP and everyone else’s speculations that SPLA/M withdrawal was meant to evade the accusation that the party is corrupting the public money and that it suppresses and restricts the freedom of speech for the vast majority of people of South Sudan! Failure of SPLA/M to speak out will mean approval of those allegations!

Mr Mading Ngor

You are really a journalism student given to your naive and superficial approach to hot topics that are divisive to people of South Sudan! The way you described Nuer in your articles is irritating and dangerous and if you are the one that posted such a vedio of your so-called Bor massacre on the youtube web site that is too naïve from you as your directly perpetrating or preaching hatred between our two closest tribes Nuer and Dinka! Do you really know where Dinka-Bor took refugee during 1960s flood? it Nuer Land! Please be realistic of the consequences of your articles! I hope you will learn more about ethics once you complete your education and hopefully you will realise how naively you action was!

Riek Machar

“Garang didn’t like semblance of institutions of structures of democracy within the Movement. He is interested in running the Movement as his personal property.” -Riek Machar, “Sudan Massacre,” 1991

Calling for democracy in the SPLM/SPLA was the sorry mask the Nasir Faction wore to justify their heinous, shameful, uncivilized, mindless, genocidal and cruel massacre of August 28th, 1991 of which some say more than five thousand civilians were killed. According to a journalist in the “Sudan Massacre,” posted on Youtube.com, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZIT_g4FCV0, “It is impossible to know how many people died. Some say more than 5000. Many ran from their villages to hide in the swamp and were slaughtered there; some were strangled, others were shot.”

But to me, both the initial phase of devastation and the aftermath of the massacre are not to be underestimated.

The brunt of the Bor massacre might have been comparable to modern Darfur killings in scale but don’t take my words for it. Perhaps time will tell the exact magnitude and scale and only then will things heat up for Riek Machar to stand trial in the Hague, alongside with Joseph Kony that Riek Machar is pathetically mediating for the end of his doomed cause in northern Uganda.

Riek Machar is just another human rights abuser masquerading as peace mediator for another shady character – ancestors have mercy.

With my own eyes, leaving my village, around central Bor in 1991, walking along the roads, I saw dead cows and humans lying on each side of the road, no exaggeration, until I reached the end of Bor south (Pariang Abei) without missing a sight of such an horror. In trying to make sense of the phenomenon, some southern Sudanese scholars have in their books written of a wide support the Nasir Faction garnered at its primordial conception in 1991. In their explanations, lost in the books, the (SPLM-Nasir) was formed as a genuine Movement to redress what the breakaway faction saw as increasing plunge into authoritarianism and autocracy in the SPLA/SPLM under the chairmanship of the late Dr. John Garang.

Riek Machar charged that “Garang didn’t like semblance of institutions of structures of democracy within the Movement. He is interested in running the Movement as his personal property,” (Riek Machar, “Sudan Massacre,” 1991). Later on, the unnamed authors and their books went on, the Movement splintered after many dissenters learned about the human rights fiasco in Bor- far worst than the supposed monstrosity of the rival faction – SPLM Torit they had predicted to remedy.

Despite overwhelming evidence recorded in video tapes, then Riek Machar dismissed the killings in Bor as mere propaganda. In “Sudan Massacre,” he is quoted as saying, “I cannot just say kill the Dinka Bor, no, not at all. They’re using it as a human rights violation; am aware of that. I think it’s propaganda.” He added: “We don’t love killing. It’s not a good character. It’s not part of my description. Garang today has no troops. If he had troops we would have been fighting here. Most of his troops are wiped out in Bor. And anyone else who wants to fight knows that his fate might be the same with those who were wiped out in Bor.”

Moreover, countering the rhetoric of the Nasir Faction warlord in “Sudan Massacre,” Garang dwelt on forgiveness but declared that“Even if I forgive them, they will be known in history as people who stabbed the Movement in Southern Sudan in the back. They will be known as people who at the point of victory when we were going to win in Juba, they stabbed us in the back. The people of the Sudan will judge that.”

Sixteen years on, Riek Machar has continued to evade the eyes of the so-called human rights organizations who seemingly are blind to the atrocities Riek Machar and his Nasir Faction have committed in Bor and elsewhere.

For those who would like to bury history, not everyone is amnesiac about the past. In 1991 our people were brutally murdered in the name of democracy; how best would one end than to repeat Garang’s utterance that “Democracy had been so much beaten up these days that even the devil can come and say he is a democrat and people will listen to him.”?

When Riek was in Bor recently, I was painfully reminded of the violence of 1991 when I saw the warlord Riek Machar (Sudan Tribune August 18th) being greeted in Bor town, again on another stupid mission.

May justice be done and lest we forget!
