South Sudan SSUDA reaffirms recent leadership reshuffle

August 30, 2006 — The South Sudan United Democratic Alliance (SSDA) would like to inform and clarify to its citizens, friends and its supporters in particular that any information come from individual Koang Thiyang Nyoak claiming that there is no leadership reshuffle within SSUDA leadership ranks, his allegations are baseless and unfounded . The SSUDA Leadership Authority Council (LAC) met on August 29, 2006 and removed its former leader Mr. Biel Rombang and SSUDA executives Council elected Mr. David Chand as new Chairman.

The claim made by Mr. Koang, only trying to poise the environment and confuse the public , he is not a member of the SSUDA Leadership Authority Council (LAC). LAC Executive council have a SSUDA constitutional right and power to make changes for best interest of the party. Mr. Koang may be not satisfied with SSUDA LAC decision; but he should respects his party leadership decision instead making a false allegations and also he should know SSUDA bylaws not tolerate conflict of interest.
These allegations and characters of assignation made by Mr. Koang against SSUDA LAC members could be punishable according SSUDA Internal Regulations Discipline Act “Chapter Three Article 55 the internal regulations shall provide for the discipline of members and leaders of the Party and their good conduct as well as for the disciplinary process, penalty and reprimand“.

Advise to you brother Koang Nyoak, act with your courage and educating you your heart. It is easy to thing “courage” in connection with every dramatic, extraordinary events like carrying a message through enemy lines, living with a terminal illness, or running into a burning house to save a child. I like to advise you brother Koang, some of the greatest acts of courage are in that instant between stimulus and response in our everyday decisions in life. And again, I know it take tremendous courage to be a transition person, to stop transmitting negative intergeneration tendencies such using abusive language, telling unfound incident. Please try to choose and act based on principle of human dignity and respect. It takes courage to be self honest, to examine your deepest motives, and to let go of the excesses and rationalization that may keep you from living true to your best self. I encourage you to live with a principle-centered life, knowing that choices you make may not be popular or understood by others. Know to courage yourself to realize that you are greater than your moods, greater than you thoughts, and that you can control your moods and thoughts.

Brother Koang please educate yours heart, even educating the heart is the critical complement to educating the mind. The end of education is to see men made whole, both in competence and in conscience. Again brother Koang, may God bless you with your family.
