Rumbek students appeal for financial aid during disease outbreak

By Ngor Arol Garang

July 15, 2009 (ABYEI) — The Northern Bahr el Ghazal State students’ union at Rumbek Senior Secondary School has sent out a letter to the public seeking for financial assistance.

This comes after several weeks with students in Rumbek seeking ways to overcome an outbreak of disease not yet confirmed as chick pox.

Speaking by phone from Rumbek, William Door Athian who works for UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and who regularly visit the school, says students from northern Bahr el Ghazal in Rumbek are facing a lot of conditions which should require the attention of the state government.

He said the disease started on July 7, resulting in the school administration isolating a few students in dormitories to avoid further spread to their fellow colleagues since it is contagious disease. Out of 38 students currently in the isolated rooms, 12 are from Northern Bahr el Ghazal State (NBGS), of which most come from poor family backgrounds in various counties of our state, he described.

“We have tried to connect affected students with their families through phone calls but most of the families failed to help due to hunger which has drawn their attentions,” he said.

Their conditions are getting worse, he stressed. In frustration, he said that the notion that the Government of Southern Sudan offers free medical services is a dream, because there are no drugs in Rumbek hospital. Doctors only prescribe a medicine for one to go and buy from privately owned pharmacies.

As such, the Aweil students’ union leadership in Rumbek has decided to appeal for financial aid from the state governor, assembly members, council of the ministers, NBGS members in the Juba assembly, NBGS members in the Government of National Unity, Aweil business people and indeed any sympathizers to get them out of situation.

Asked about students from the other states, Mr. Athian said a number of politicians from Warrap and Lakes states have already rushed to help their students by either sending money for treatment in better served health centers in Rumbek or by transferring them to Khartoum and Eastern African countries.

Mr. Athian directed those who are willing to provide assistance to send money either through himself, or through the Nile Commercial bank deputy manager in Rumbek, or the chairperson of the Aweil student union in Rumbek, or the finance secretary of the Aweil student union in Rumbek.

    That is the poor mismanagment to the government of lake state by not providing basic needs, Do you know what cause of this chick pox is because they rooms are very dirty and when there is no enough balance diet in the body that cause of getting disease. when there is enough balance diet people would n,t get chick pox. we will blame Kiir for keeping greedy people in the leadersship doing nothing.

    what we will do we can prays to brothers who are experiecing of diseases may almighty god bless our brothers who were been neglected by poor leadership of the stupid people amen.

    Dinka is the chairman of the dinkas liberation guerilla movement after it acheived the aims and objectives it will change soon to be dinkas liberation guerilla warriors (DLGW)

    Another way of stealing money.

    We have been talking about the health condition of Rumberk day and night how so called Dinkas are dirty.

    Chick pox is caused because of poor Hygiene. When I was in Rumberk in 2007, you could hardly see latrine since people there have the idea of “when a woman go to latrine, she will never give birth again”

    So to give finance assistance is just waisting of money since the disease is cause by their own making.

    DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG LATRINE OR ELSE ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!!

    Dear Bro/Sisters,

    Chicken pox is a disease caused by lack of hygienic so don;t blame each other. But School administration shall be the one to answer.

    Well dinkas are not dirty community to respond to statement release by the above writer; when a disease breaks out we should not spear some words of abuse on the website.

    Thank you,

    Hello fellows and welcome to humilations of those mongrels wtih big ball nut. comeon, you know who a m I talking about. Those burgers whose mothers and sisters praise dinka for liberation Southern sudan, and whose mentioned praised dinka for their long dicks. Scientifically, big balls (Kuka) is a result of eating raw cassava, I am sure you grand papa might had one. Right now I am fucking one of you sisters day and night. As I have mentioned my long dick won you sisters. Gama042 and de vinci the lower, I am only going to quit fucking your sister because she smell terrible especially in summer time. I think she would look for another dinka because of the long d..k. Next time I will tell you a story of a young cassava eating squirel girl, but for now I would like to go back to business.

    First of all, dinkas are not dirty, but they are heroes of people like you. They fought for all the women including you. People like gama042 and de vinci the lower deserve stamp of feet on the earth. or else you deserve to rot in jail. People like you bring nothing to S.sudan but only petrol. Why can’t you stand up and show the people what to do if you think you are genius? I think you are a crap.

    Continents like USA, Europe are called first world
    countries, yet Swine flu is killing them. Can you tell me these continents are dirty? or lacking latrines? This statement alone answer that you are must be on cracks or perhap must be suffering from your very thing of usual…
    Dinka people go miles a way for their shit. chicken pox is not dinka disease, but I bet you guys have special Knife for fighting irrating skins.. especially on the buttocks on balls and between legs of your mothers and sisters. But we dinka don’t have such a shit apparatus.

    Asking for help is not a crime nor is it shame. When you can’t reach to the irrating areas of your butts, you always as your mate for help.

    Dinka live for ever whether you like it or not…..
