A call for peace and unity in South Sudan
By Daniel Garang Aluk Dinyo
July 25, 2013 – I would love to draw you attention to a very important point, we should all understand that there is always an end to everything in this world, and therefore; we shouldn’t take life hardly because no matter who we are or what we do or what we have we will once leave this universe behind, accordingly what we should do is to life wisely and enjoy the short life that we have on earth, we must make it our priority to make world a better place to live in, by loving our families our friends our neighbors and even our enemies. Let’s learn to use our minds instead of our bodies, we must let wisdom guide us. for instance, it makes no sense killing each other, because it is stated in the Holy bible that “God created man in his image to rule the earth and to be in charge of everything on it” so, it was meant that we should used whatever we have on this earth wisely and no to destroy them, Jesus has spoken as well about loving each other, and he didn’t just talk about love but he further show practical example by dying on the cross; if you can recall from the holly bible what Jesus said before he died following the shaking of the earth then you will know that he really does love his enemies. I believe that we know what we must do to live in peace and harmony, but we let ourselves distracted simply by our greediness, love of wealth, pride and many numberless things on earth, but once again remember none of these will do us any good, they will be left behind when time comes.
Therefore, dear brothers and sisters mothers and fathers, lets call it enough for all wars hatreds and prides, and follow the right way, and if you think it logically, you will find out that fighting is bad and it is the last thing you would every want to do, because in my point of view there is no winner in a fight and that is the worse pat of it, whether you kill or you are killed still both parties will pay the same price, and other thing is that it always endanger lives of innocents, so please understand my Message today wherever you are, that we must live in harmony and peace, start it right now with your neighbor, your wife/ husband, your son and / or daughter your father and mother and you will experience the difference I promise.
Finally, I would like to pass my kind regards to my people in Republic of South Sudan and to all of you who are reading this message now, regardless of confusion that I heard in the news and media expectations and predictions about the fate of south Sudan, be calm and think wisely don’t let yourself be drugged into any kind of mess that you will surely regret. It is right time now to use your mind and do what you must do to calm everyone down and live a beautiful life that we always dreamed of, and remember why we have chosen to separate from Sudan, it was because we wanted to be free and live in peace, therefore; we shouldn’t turn around and do the opposite, let’s prove to the world that we are people of wisdom people who love their God and need to live as one among happiest people on earth. let’s prove to the media that they were wrong by thinking that south Sudan my loss control!
Remember that we are strong not to kill ourselves but to protect ourselves and our families for the sack of peace in our land, and indeed God blessed South Sudan (National Anthem).
I do hereby call upon religious leader, believer and lovers of peace to pray for unity in our new nation!
May Almighty God touch our hearts and make us lovers of peace, May he pour out his Holy spirit to everyone so that we can live according to his will not our will, in Jesus Name Amen!
