South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
August 31, 2011 (BOR) – The newly appointed deputy minister of defence and veteran affairs, Majak Agot Atem, has declined to say whether he will take up his position in South Sudan’s first independent government.
Atem told Sudan Tribune on Wednesday that he did not want to comment publicly on issue.
A source in Juba told Sudan Tribune that Atem had declined the position because he is overqualified to be a deputy minister. The Southern figure has a doctorate, holds the rank of Lieutenant General, actively participated in the civil war as well as the negotiating of the peace deal that led to South Sudan’s independence in July.
Sudan Tribune has been informed that Atem was called by elders and members of greater Bor community in Juba to try to persuade him to take up the offer. Atem, reportedly told them that he would consult his family before he declares his final position.
New ministers and deputies are expected to take their oaths of office on Thursday.
Atem is a member of Dinka Bor community, which has been mixed over whether or not they endorse the new cabinet.
The youth leader of Twic East County, Kuir Ajak said he supports Atem in his assertions saying if the government was formed based on qualifications, “why did they leave Dr. Lual Achuek and Philip Thon Leek?”
Philip Thon Leek, the former governor of Jonglei state from 2005-2007 was elected as an MP to the national assembly in Juba in the 2010 April general elections. Dr. Lual Achuek, was the former oil minister in Government of National Unity before South Sudan declared its independence and is now the MP in Juba assembly.
“I am not supporting Dr. Majak to leave the government for good. He has to complain but if nothing is accepted, then he has to take up his position as the deputy”, Ajak continued.
DINKA BOR SATISFACTION WITH CABINET
Members of the Dinka Bor community in Jonglei state said Wednesday that the composition of South Sudan’s new cabinet is fair, despite criticism from some of the tribes youth.
The chairperson of the Greater Bor Community, Micheal Makuei Lueth told Sudan Tribune on Wednesday that his community is happy with the formation of the new cabinet and said the appointees from the area are committed to work with the government.
Makuei, who is also the new minister of Parliamentary Affairs, said he doesn’t understand why some members of Bor’s youth decided to stand against the SPLM-led government which they fought for during the 22 year civil war.
“I don’t know who they are. Dinka fought to liberate this country with other communities in the South. If we are given one ministerial post and three deputies, one advisor and one Chief whip, then it is ok”, said Makuei.
Makuei pointed out that Rebecca Nyandeng, the wife of the SPLM’s former leader John Garang, was appointed as an advisor to the president. The new chief whip, Atem Garang, the former deputy speaker of the National Assembly in Khartoum, is also from the area.
Like other politicians from South Sudan Atem Garang lost his position in the power sharing Khartoum government after the South seceded. As part of the 2005 deal between the SPLM and the National Congress Party, South Sudan was granted the right to self determination in a referendum, which saw a 98% vote for independence.
The announcement of the new cabinet by South Sudan’s president last week, received a mixed reaction across the country, as people hoped their region would be well represented.
According to Minister Makuei, the members of Dinka Bor community have accepted the appointment adding “that we are going in tomorrow [September 1] to take an oath”.
However, a Dinka Bor Youth group in Juba led by Juma Arok criticised the new cabinet, saying their community lacks representation in the new government and called upon the minister and three deputy ministers to refuse their appointment.
Another Bor youth group, under the interim chairmanship of Simon Thon Ayuen, unanimously and strongly dismissed the assertions made by the Juba-based Dinka Bor Youth as an unfair representation of Dinka Bor opinion.
“We call upon the president of the republic of South Sudan, the citizens of South Sudan and the people of Bor community in particular to disregard the claims” of the Juba-based youth group. A statement from the group said the allegation that Dinka Bor were being marginalised was baseless and “deserved no support of the Youth of Bor County”, a statement from the group said.
“In fact, the formation of the cabinet is fairly represented as all the regions, states and ethnicities in South Sudan have been recognised”, said one of the groups members.
The state minister of agriculture in Jonglei, Mayen Ngor cast-off the claims of youth in Juba and expressed his affirmation that the make-up of the government was fair. He said the youth had clearly not read South Sudan’s transitional constitution.
Mayen said the president has the prerogative to appoint the government and becomes legal after it is approved by the parliament, which happened on Wednesday.
The state minister said greater Bor has one ministerial position today but pointed out that Jonglei state had other appointees. Panjak and Akobo both have two ministerial positions from their communities.
He said the time will come when greater Bor will have two or three minister, while others have none.
“If you see the ministers who have been appointed regionally, there is no state that has brought more than five ministers except Jonglei. And if you go down, you will see that greater Akobo has two, greater Panjak has two and Bor has one but greater Pibor has nil”, said Minister Ngor.
“Time will come when Bor will have two… There are no criteria that Bor is the one to have two or three”, he continued.
He said that youth who had complained should familiarise themselves with South Sudan’s constitution before criticising the president or parliament.

Exactly, if Dinka Bor does not accept offer, than follow Athor! Otherwise complainers have should to shut their no teeth mouth and accept the post. When did Majak became the doctor? his even luck to get this post.What the People know all this time in the movement was that Majak was Kiir’s body guide while now refusing to take his offer.Please Dinka Bor avoid being always agreedy on leading people.Majak has to accept the post and serve people rather than aiming for top leadership.

Makuei Lueth should not betray the Bor Community by saying he doesn’t know who they are. We are the people who made up the Bor community and our position is, the Cabinet formation was not fair. If you feel contented because of your appointment as the minister, then we are very sorry and we are going to reconsider your position of being Community leader. You should have been the right person to complain on behalf of the Community.
We don’t say Dr. Majak is overqualified for a position of a deputy minister but there have been several attempts to humiliate Bor and Dr. Majak on several occassions. There was a plot to kill him when he was sent to help negotiate and ease the tension with Gen. Athor. While he was there, there was an attack by SPLA forces on Athor position. The second count was killing him politically that he wants to overthrow the GOVT. This allegations brought in frictions between him and president who got convince by his inner circles that his position is under threat. Most of senior elites who acknowledge Dr. Majak potentiality are on rampand to destroy him both morally and politically.
Dr. Majak has shown very great compentency in services over the last 6years and if South Sudan was still committed to services to people, he can not even be appointed a deputy minister. The third count is him being appointed a deputy minister which was meant to humiliate him and diminish his influence and ambition. We understrood what the strategy was and he will be better off GOVT. Dr. Majak served in the SPLA for the last 21years and is of the senior officers, remember. So he did not just emerged from nowhere.
People like Philiph Thon, Dr. Luak Achuek who are senior officers too and most qualified people cannot just be left out. We as Bor Community felt neglected and we mean it. Not only in cabinets formation, we have been witenssing such discrimiation in services sectors by removing rightful people without clear reasons. I would finally say the Govt formation was very unfair and meant to destroy Bor Community politically. To complain is necessary and no one should say Bor shouldn’t has complain. It is our constitutional right to complain and it is what we fought for. We didn’t fight for marginalisatiom and oppression, otherwise there would have been no reasons for freedom. I would buy Dr. Majak position. Many Govts will come and he can still find himself in one of them sometime. So Hon. Makuei Lueth we meant it.

If Mr Majak Agot Atem overqualified to be a deputy minister for defence and veteran affairs,why we have accept Mr president,to be president for the Republic of South Sudan,while he is underqualified?,don,t forget,we are not at the timees of our late Dr.John Garang,you must to come out with one vision,don,t confuse our people,if you don’t want this position,be clear with yourself,we don’t want Garang’s orphans to be included in this cabinet,they are troublemakers,let our president take rest from them,specially Mr pagan Amum,Luga Biong,No development under Garang’s orphans.

Hello Southerners who are refusing positions because you think your qualifications are the highest, it isn’t like that. Many South Sudanese are educated with PhDs but are now jobless.
Mr. Majak has done alone in the struggle but he should also show example of simplicity, acceptance and little-heartedness.
leadership is acquired as a gift form God not from qualification otherwise most of our people have B. Degrees,and PhDs.
I kindly advise him to accept the gift from his comrade.

South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
@Fearless! Ithink you got it wrong one way or other.The leadership of SPLA/M was not only for Dinka Bor but to any competent South Sudanese who is capable of leading the country with also quality of good leadership.
One thing I want you to know is that.That position was not given to Salva Kir the president Of ROSS by Dinka Bor or if you think president of South Sudan,ld give the whole of regional,s ministrial position to please Dinka Bor then you got it wrong dude because when South Sudanese took up arms and fought the regime of Khartoum was not for the aims of pleasing others.So please don get outside your line of duty.
Keep that drama for yourself and please don put our beautiful country in chaos.
Mayen Ngor has put it right there.That is the big minded dude.A leader who can not hesitate to tell the truth.
Bor Community should refrain from that misconception.

South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
I were so Dr Majak Agoot I would have accept the position because some of others tribes were not even represented at the national level particularly in Greater Equatoria and Greater Upper Nile.
Majak may refused the position because he Kiir and phaise him as his father because he brought up Kiir but thing change and Married his third and fourth from Awiel and Gorgrail and borns two sons namely Malong and Mathok, so there is no space Majak.
As result Majak and his brother Mac Pual used Kiir to be happen since the war the began as tools to gossip about others but now turned that way.
well Greater Bor have not been well represented because Micheal Makuei has just been given the position without work. the so call primaintery affair is not a position while is cabnet, speaker, minister in office of kiir and chief government whip, do you think what they going to do.
All in all Kiir has taken the advantage from BOR communities because of their hitting Riek Machar, Machar obscale to him but people do,not like him.

Bor community should know that this is beginning of the country. Those who were now appointed it their time to show how capable they are to serve the new Nation. But if you just opposed the formation without one you like’s duty being seen? what could be the consequency later?. You aim your person to be in the top, what if he poorly serve the Nation today and tomorrow being sack, will you not complain to Kiir?. Please advise Majak to take this job, He might work better than his boss, than tomorrow his boss will come down again go to that position whom you all want him to be in!. Do not wrongly advise Majak to decline his in-law appointment.

I strongly in a possible term support Dr.Majak Agot decision that will be made with his family and the already decision that he has. We Twic Each Dinka are the core of the SPLM and South Sudan. We lead the movement successfully and bring the South Sudan to its destination.
On the point of those hypothetic Bor county youth that say they are not part of that recommendations make by greater Bor youth or Twic East youth in Juba. I can say what Bor county has commended is baseless and no meaning. They just work for the interest, because they don’t expect that ministry to go to Bor South. Because they don’t have qualified politicians. Let them quit they are not Bor. The true Bor that government can listen them are Twic East and Duk counties.

What the fuck are you talking about. Who told you that Bor are the ones who gave power to Kiir. You idiot, Bor were not in charge to give the power to Mayardit in first place, as you claim. so what if Majak did decline to accept the offer. That are million who are more qualified than him who could talk the offer.
You guys, Bor community, need to learn how to shut your big mouthes. Runing your mouthes will get you no where. Do not say a word that you could not stand firm behind it. We the southerners are sick and tired of hearing your complains.
Garang Deng
South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
Dr Majak should accept the offer at this stage. He is young and he will have more time to spend in politics if he likes. He has the attributes of leadership. Leaders do not have to serve from high position but to serve even from the lowest, to show that they are humble and are servants for the people. This-more-like American presidential system is not good for our new country at this childhood stage. In fact, if we are to build this nation, we should hear from qualified people like Dr. Majak and therefore, they should be considered and involved in most issues to produce qualified ideas that can move the nation forward.
Now, if most qualified people like that are less considered, what will motivate the qualified people from diaspora to come home and participate in nation building? people will keep brains away and build other nations!

My advice to Majak Agot is to accept the post since it’s not everlasting cabinet in Kiir’s government. It’s a mistake though, but if at all, he (Majak) has to prove to all South Sudanese how qualified he is, so that next time Kiir should appoint him as a minister.

I think it is entirely Dr. Majak’s choice to accept or turn down the offer. No body in South shoud be insulted, intimidated and force if he/she is unwilling to do the job, because it’s part of freedom and that’s what we fought and died for.
I am really sick and deeply concern about the way people negavtively comment on this site. Are these the minds who will build this country? please brothers and sisters respect yourselves and try to restore civility. STOP this bigotry!
In addition, Dr.majak did not say that he is overqualify for the position according to the artilce, but the reporter did. what is the point of these vitriolic attacks? guys! the way you speak and react explain the state of your mind.

We should all refrain from insulting eachother on this site. No Southerner can be tired to mere complainig than looting of resources in South Sudan. That was the biggest corruption and scandal ever in the World. It wasn’t a big deal as others were looking for money and other Southerners were focusing on post independent.
Neverthless, I wud buy the argument of people calling Dr.Majak to accept the position. It is not an offer as he was part of the process and he deserved it. But faking on this site that you are tired of Dinka Bor is a rubbish. Nothing worst than rampand looting of resources in the South at the moment.
Thon de Agok
South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
you got it wrong Mr. Bush as you call yourself. Majak haasn’t called himself overqualified, it was a mixed reaction, an assumption kind of statement from a reporter who was trying to find a reason why the deputy is declining to comments on the position given by the president.
It’s true leadership is a gift from God and shouldn’t depend on how qualified one is. I advise you bro to read article carefully before running your mouth on Majak. South Sudan is not like other countries where a minimal qualification for an aspirant to be a MP is A’ level-should these have happen here NOT even Kiir and his fellow ministers from Bhar er ghazal would have made it to. Politics is acquired through gain experiences and above all a gift from God.
Majak is not right to refused the offer. Majority of couties around the Southern states have not been represented in the deputized and ministerial posts. we understand the war broke out in Bor and the firsthand holders of AK47 were citizens of Bor, this is evidence by the retirement of 17 Bor Lt. generals in SPLA NOT evidence one nuer or Bhar el ghazal.

Let the person appointed as assistant minister to complain not anybody after all the salary he’s going to earn wont go to your pockets but his, so just shut the hell up and mind your own businesses am not complaining and my tribe is one of the most educated tribe in south Sudan and we don’t have even one minister or even deputy. we should not see this new government on tribal basis otherwise it will lead us to see ourselves on tribal lines, ladies and gentlemen lets watch that out. thank you…..!

Get me clear brother, let me repeat myself-the war broke out in Bor NOT in Bhar al ghazal. I am not saying the citizens of Bhar el ghazal didn’t participated on 16/May. They did it under the directives of Dr. Garang. Why do we bragged about what we formed (SPLA/M)? Can a father bragged to his son about his riches? this has never happen before. This movement was meant to liberate you, your people(south sudanese).

There is nothing much or especial things that, Bor communities contributed to the movement, it’s only that Dr John Gerang hail from Bor but those who fought this war, majority were from Bhar El Gazal Region that’s why GOD offered them leadership even if they gained nothing on it .

The move made by President Salva Kiir to drop Dr. Majak de Agoot from South Sudan National security to the lower humiliated position was a pure politics. In the eyes of the public, president Salva have hiden agenda against this Hon. Dr. Majak de Agoot.
when Athor rebelled against the government of South Sudan, President Kiir and his kitchen cabinet make a deal to sent Dr. Majak and others top officials from Bor commuunity to fake peace with Athor and this was pure political assination but unfortunately, Dr. Majak and his group escaped the mulipulated dealt. I’m arguing Dr. Majak not accept the appointment!!!

I can’t imagine how many Dinka Bor soldiers were there in O.T.B and O.D.N? that’s their behavior they brag a lot as if they were the only people who fought this war, hence they end up creating more enemies for themselves.

today is the different day, people must believe in change wether they like it or not. Dr Majak will explain what he wants and we will do it for him.please don’t insult president kiir. don’t forget the power is rotating it was given to Garang by Karbino Kuanyin Bol, who was from Bhar el Ghazal.when Garang became a leader you forgot Bhar el Ghazal and even you claim that you were born to rule which is not your position,actually you were born to catch fish you Bor not to rule, so becuase salva kiir has pitty on you he has made Majak Agot as the deputy defense which is beyound his capacity. he supposed to be a fisher man.
Salva is ahead and Bhar el Ghazal behind him, Salva Kiir Oyeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bhar el Ghazal oyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee we are all in it, backward never, forward yes

@Thon de Agok
So, are trying to tell me that since you formed the movement in 1983 means you should rule the South Sudan from top to bottom alone? What do you think other tribes will think about you? will you really enjoy it without other tribes? Man, don’t make the Dinka Bor community look like our new Arabs in the South Sudan in the making because the end result will be catastrophic.
Yes, I was liberated in 1990 and do you know how many I liberated after that?
Leadership is not kingship, it’s not inheritable these days, there was only one Dr Garang and there is no Dr Garang again.

South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
Dinka Bor should know that it’s not a tribal business to elect people based on tribal line. South sudan should not be ruled based on having a fixed posts assigned to particular time. The era of John Garang has gone, as he used to elect dinka bor to most of posts or higher spla ranks, Garang has gone, no more to dinka bor dominance.what good has dinka bor has done to people of south sudan? Garang was a dictatorship leader, he made his way up by killing the founders of spla, please dinka bor forget it know, no one will elect anyone of you to the office of president-ship your era has gone. This is not the time where garang use to carry spla leadership in briefcase. what have dinka bor done? corruption, yes, see Nyanideng, she stole all money from ministry of transportation during her tenure as the minister of transportation, she built hotels meanwhile ignore the people of bor. Garang killed many people than anyone in spla, that’s why God punished him by burning him to death in this earth, noway he’s in heavan.

This is toddler’s website. I think we have more potential things to discuss rather cracking our head on unimportant issues. If you had good sight and your visual acuity is upto 6 you would have got me right. It look like you repplying someone on my name not according to the tune of all my comments. Get me right brother, we are not flesh and blood. This is a time to put our head togather. After all if we keep talking nonsense about dinka bor and not dinka bhar el ghazal, we won’t have made any difference coz it’s all about dinka. Be sensible when giving comments, you sound a grown up man

South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
Guys don’t be over reacted, I’m not defending the south Sudan leadership or Dr. Majak if he might decline the position, but if leaders are wise enough then been educated doesn’t automatic translate to leadership, there is no what so call over qualification in any post holder position. in fact it will be the beginning toward building of his leadership skill if he accepted the offer but if he refused then what will it tell to the masses of South Sudanese. if I’m wrong then make your search engine,but there are many situations not only in African but also in the world where the leaders are not necessarily more educated then their deputies, the example like here in the Sudan, is Badhseir more educated then his deputy?, absolutely not, in Kenya where Daniel Arob moi was secondary school teacher with the deputy holding doctorate, and list is on and on.

South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
Majak is the most senior commander in SPLA; he has the right to do so if he wishes to turn that position down. I hope other members of Bor community do so and stay home.
It’s disrespectful to deliberately disregard the most qualify Majak Agoot.
Look at Malok Aleng, he has been taken down from the top of his job and he is now jobless. Bor community has been to the top before and it will happen again all they need to do is stay home.
For minded. Dude rebellion is not what Dinka community is known for; it’s something that known to your community, I don’t even need to mention the name of your community, because the entire South Sudanese communities know who they are!
Salva Kiir will be happy with the government without Bor Dinka and we wish him nothing bad but good luck.

Dear All Commentators,
Be cool and follow the case of Majak Ajot slowly because each and every one of you know who he is and what did he do?
In my case I reacted negatively to the writer of the article by saying that Majak is overqualified to take the deputy Minister of Defence that is sound illogical to me personally. Look here South Sudan is a new nation that need each of us to excel his experiences that he/she have during the course of his/her study.
If I were him I would have rejected the position without even hesitating in between. There are some more DRs. in South Sudan which have been left out in the formation of the new cabinet, Majak is too lucky to get that position of Deputy Minister of Defence and veterans Affairs. Majak what lucky are you?
Here in your case(Majak Ajot)is just to have more money not to served the underdevelop nation South Sudan which was recently emerged out from devastated war.Your calculation will lead you nowhere because you said the money of being a deputy Minister is not the same with Minister ,s money.
He may be a greedy man if am not mistaken.
Madingthith a man of justices, accountability and transparency.

South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
If Majak may not accept the position so what? He is not the first or the last,many came many die and our nation will still survive. Garang died with his vision of sudan unity and we managed to get independent without him, thank the nature which took him out with. Now we can still see his orphans costing problems for what their father never die for. Who in south Sudan never suffer for this freedom? We all fought the same war one way and another nobody in south never lost his loves one for this country. Bor guys were ministers for last six years, what they did for south Sudan out of stealing oil money sending their children to best school around the world and forgot even about poor Borian they are greedy corrupted officials who doesn’t care about Bor poor people forget about south Sudan just themselves. With all due respect Garang wife was unqualified to be minister but she was appointed as roads minister from Bor what she did for you Bor people forget alone south Sudan? Now what kind of advice she can give to president Kiir to be appointed as his adviser? Did she need money? Hell NO I can still remember 120 millions she got for her dead husband four years ago. Weak up my people if we all want to be appointed as ministers who will clean our streets or home? We should stand behind our leader everybody have duty to do for sake of nation.It is wrong to think everybody should be in office as Bor people think. I born to rule myself but until now I never get chance to be president yet do I have to take gun and go to bush to fight or insult my other tribe because I didn’t get chance to rule?Those did that in Bor they are stupid folk can not be leader because they fail to understand that running to bush poor civilian in their community suffer more then those corrupted officials they are fighting them. Since, G Athore went to bush to fight Kiir he never come near by him and his is the lose if he didn’t go the bush maybe he could be appointed minister now, but lack of thinking leadership he will end up or get killed in bush. Guys my name is Tambura I will run for my president office in next election I have a lot to deliver for you most important I will unite all of you I will make you proud of your country vote for me in next election.

Dear Dr. Majak De Agot Atem,
Politics is full of conspiracies and if you happen to join at this juncture, you better trade your card carefully. Imagine somebody travelling a three days journey in one day, how will he feel at the end of that journey? You have to answer that question despite your closeness with the President and your qualifications. A long journey needs steady and majestical walking were you will not feel the pain after the journey. The ball is in your court whether to accept the appointment or refuse it.

How can Dinka Bor be Duty of Anyagaat of Nuer? since they run to Ethiopia for food After food in South Sudan they Come and claim to be the owner of the food. I’m so sorry for Salva Kiir, to let him forget about the people who give him that seat. If that was not Great Bor Community who give him that position, I think he supposed to be nothing now in the government of South Sudan. I thank Kuol Manyang to appointed Salva Kiir to be the president of South Sudan in 2005. Fuck Nuer and Equatiorian in South Sudan they always pretend to be Ethiopia, Uganda or Congo. After the war finished the flies like insects flying into the food.

Everyone from Bor community dont like her for beeing on date website ones a time.
She was appointed as minister of road but everything endsup in women hand bag. she carried all the money to Europe to feed her Arab man.
She is one of the notorious corrupt woman in Bor community.

This Majak who left Malek secondary shool in late 1983 did not get enough military training,more over he did not fight a single battle during the war,infact he was Kiir’s body guard.All his colleagues who were in the struggle are still Leuftant colonels.He is suppose to be demoted from his current rank & given the rank of his peers who even fought terribly & studied military.Majak did his degrreees in a different field not the ARMY.Where does the term qualification fit here.Lets not play,his degrees are self explanatory to the fact that he did not fight during the war,but was only studying.Since he studied alone without a facilitator his ENGLISH is very poor.Primary SIX PUPIL’S English is better than that of Majak.

Majak Agot joined the struggle befor he could finish secondary school at Malek.In the bush he was trained for less than three months at Bonga then again trained for another three months at the Institude for Revolutionary war Studies at Bonga,is that the qualification that he talks about?Morever he did not fight during the war,his degrees are in different fields not military.He is under qualified in the army .Shut up

@Mapuor
Mr Mapuor, every Dinka Bor is claiming to have fought the war, old or young, men or women, those who grew up in the refugee camps all over the world and even those who were born after the CPA are claiming to have fought the war, can you imagine that.
Even most of the papers that most of them are holding today are fake, bought from the market especial those returnees those so called GBYA, most of them spent their time in bars and clubs and end up buying those papers to come and cheat us with.
Let them form their own SPLM/A and fight their own war now with out the support of other tribes and we shall see if they will be able to even capture a single town in South Sudan, that will be the end of that muddy land.

Salva Kiir and his Bhar el ghazal people should think twice before appointing people into wrong positions. Majak Agoot is not supposed to be a duty minister of Defence if Mr Kiir didn’t used his hat mine of no development. People like Majak are qualified and they can develop this Country if they are put in the right positions. I wonder why Salva Kiir still didn’t learn during six of Comprehensive Peace Agreement. He forgot about Dinka Bor which are well known because of their hard working, respect and their thinking, they are the patriots of this land even though food lovers want to destroy.

There are a lot of evidence that current Government is against Greater Bor
The reason why I said this, which community has had 8 generals sacked from the government in one day? It happened to Bor only. That issue plus others are simmering right now though nobody is voicing it out loud.
Another issue is that the Sponsorship of John Garang Institute by Maldova company was taken away by the GoSS and they later abandoned the University without funding it. This sent a strong signal to the community that the current GoSS is not just against Garang but the whole community in general.
Most people are blaming Salva’s advisers like Mathok Gengdit and Lual Diing Wol. These two gentlemen are very tribalistic and are against Bor people.

The wound that bleeds in wards is more dangerous than the one that bleeds outwards
This kind of issues will not cause rebellion but they will cause internal political bleedings that can change the mind of a large demographic which can cause unexpected political shifts. It will be unfruitful for the grudges during the war to be avenge at this moment. Doing so will cause undesirable results.
I think the current constitution needs to be polished and ratified, otherwise we will have issues all the time when a new government is formed. This constitution will be a curse and not a blessing.

Your emotional outburst is s reflection of your greed for power and how just the “Jenge Bor” have over the years enjoyed the “Bor Bonus”. Abel Alier and company elevated his kin even if they were real idiots and had no academic qualifications for certain jobs. John Garang tried to curb that, but his closest aides like Elijah Malok prefered installing whichever Borarian around for top jobs in the movement. Now Salva Kiir is traying to do otherwise, and the first to yell are some Dinka Bor. If the deputy minister does not want the job, there are other Borarians.

what does he mean he is over qualified?
As deputy minister,does he think that position is small.
Majak was easy brought into high rank by his uncle Garang and Kiir that why he is nyin ngic.
This time he is going to fall down with nothing. Those who manage small position can be able to manage bidders thing later. Accepting small position can lead to bigger one later.

Majak Agot, are you the only one with a doctorate degree in the pose of deputy minister or you are asking the govt to move everyone with a doctorate degree in the pose of deputy minister and below to position => ministerial pose?
That in another way you are asking Salva Kirr to resign from the presidence and leave it for person with PhD.
Majak, Forget about the tribally motivate asigned ranges that Dr. Garang and other Dinkas leaders assigned to us during the movement. This is the real World circumstance Majak, we have all the South Sudan tribes with us in the Govt. Imagine how many PhD holders left out amongst the Nuer?
You know Dr. John Gai who representing this govt in South Africa, a Nuer from Gajaak who nursed the movement and you know Dr. Jany (Vic president’s wife)she is nowhere in those lists. I mean, there are many PhD holders left out, not even with deputy pose. And most of them are far intelligent than you are Majak.
Forget about the military experience and negotiating the CPA becoz they were things given to us in expense of South Sudanese. For sure you are not better than John Kong Nyuon that you are deputising interm of military experient.

South Sudan: Deputy defence minister may not accept position
It seems in my point of view, president Salva Kiir Mayardit didn’t have good advicers for his leadership. The balance of cabinets isn’t case. The case is the vision itself of what SPLA/M fought for and the hard working they have been done. SPLM is main party in the South Sudan and any one want to be in it. And there isn’t a reason to step those out who has been the SPLA/M since its formation. For example Elija Malok Haleng, Lual achuek, Pagan Amuom and so many others.
If President use to analize, Dr.Majak Agot supposed to be interior and Alison to be a deputy if it is for education or qualification. In my own visualization the three counties of Jonglei namely as Twin Duk county, Twich East conuty,Bor county,supposed to be the back bone for new Government of president. To the Know the truth during the government national unity president Salva was nominated four Ministeries in one county which was from Twich East county in Panyagor and one from Twin Duk county and their names are as following Dr Lual Achuek minister of petroleum and mining, Commander Elija Malok finance and banking, Philip Thon A Leek transportation, Dr. Majak Agot interior and security, and Atem de Garang speaker.
You may have question, why the president Salva Kiir was nominated five people ministers in one particular county in Jonglei during national unity goverment? Because they are the key of success and they have wisdom with good tone of understaing to guide the peace we are now in it to shifted for independency include Pagan Amuom from Malakal.
My point is this, SPLA didn’t liberate South Sudan to do balance cabine than to building the nation to be see. That is our aim of objective as SPLM. We were fought for reason we need to lead it and it is the strongship. Look China one Party and it has developed its people. Why not you, complaining stop when you are doing good. U.S.A. has three Parties and is more bigger than South Sudan. I think two party are good for South Sudan.
From goodness come goodness and SPLM is the One. No others can claiming the goodness of South Sudan more than SPLM.

Yes, we are in the process of establsihing a democratic systems in the South Sudan and yes freedom of choice of what to do or not is one thing but Majak shouldn’t greedily open that silly idea into the media. What should we do with other PhD people in the South Sudan that are not being offered any pose in that naively formed govt?
We have to stop favouring certain communities in expense of others. Gajaak community in the Eastern Upper Nile has been neglected and used since the 2005. Not a signle ministerial pose was given to them but they are the same size has our people, the Bor communities, but how many ministerial poses asigned to Bor community by Salva Kirr govt? count from 2005 and in this govt. Majak acted foolishly in this instand, I have to say!!!
We have to be carefully!!!

Job Well Done Mr. President Salva Kiir Maryardiit (ROSSSKM)which means that Republic of South Sudan Salva Kiir Maryardiit. Now you earned that name as your Nick name, because you have show your leadership to the people of South Sudan that you are a united leader unlike Dr.John Garang. It is time for people of South Sudan to keep you in power for next 25 years to come as a President of South Sudan.
Folks, everyone is happy for the way the president appointed his cabinets, event the animals of South Sudan are satifying with the president ‘s appointment, accept Dinka Bor.
It is up to you Dr. Majaak Agot to accept deputy position or not to take it if you think that you are over qualify which I don’t think so.
Folks, Dr. Majaak Agot has never been frontline fighting with Arabs. When that holyson of man from Naath, John Kong Nyuon and the President SKM were fighting againts enemy in Juba, Kapeota and Torit, Dr. Majaak Agot was in Nairobi sleeping in a beautifull appartments with a nice pillow on his head.
Now who is more qualify to be Minister of Defense? I think LT. General Dr. John Kong Nyuon (JK) is more qualify to be Defense Minister Than Dr. Majaak Agot. I don’t care about education you may have, LT. General John Kong Nyuon still more qualify than you.
Folks, I can tell you LT. General John Kong Nyuon dedicated his life time for the freedom of South Sudan people. I believe that LT. General John Kong Nyuon deserved to be Minister of Defense.

I agree with Dr. Majak agoot because kiir mayor was covenant that his newly cabinet will pillar on the qualification and potential with among those majak is included.
therefore warrap has no more qualified in that community, look at them in this government how many do the have even a merely degree but their think and analytical base on their foolishness
then went we analyze the performance during the war time its was Awiel and Bor who do more than other tribes. idoit, the power its not for warrap or nor to kirr mayor or newly liberate salve makok who was came out in Wau in 1988
this is tyranny, and not the state of parity because you can not say that majak should go and joint athor thereafter kiir in 2006 was anygat like Riak, please you not play with educated community with two hundred PHD holder not warrap with out even a merely degree.

” Part One: Hello! Twic Dinka East: Here are the few motivations why Dinka Bor people who are trying to impose their identity over Dinka Twic East:
(a) They change Mading Ngeth Agok name to “Bor” so that the event of May 16, 1983 becomes their tribe history.
Part Two: (b) When Dinka Twic East put their County as Twic East County instead of they were expected it to be Bor North County. It didn’t happen. So they decided to add word “Greater” to “Bor” so that Dinka Twic East can accept that as “Greater Bor” which in their tricky plan, both Twic Dinka East and Dinka Duk will accept that. And then Dr. John Garang de Mabior Freedom history becomes Dinka Bor history.
Part Three: (c) Furthermore, Dinka Twic East and Dinka Twic West (Mayardit) wouldn’t have history in South Sudan Freedom where these leaders came from:
(1) Dr. John Garang de Mabior: Twic Dinka East
(2) CDR. Kerubino Kuanyin Bol: Dinka Twic West (Mayardit)
(3) CDR. William Nyuon Bany: His mother is from Dinka Twic East and father from Dinka Hol.
(4) President Salva Kiir Mayardit: Twic Dinka West (Mayardit)
(5) CDR. Arok Thon Arok: Twic Dinka East.
Part Four: (D) Dr. Riek Machar and protest about Cabinets were setup to gain attentions away from Dinka Twic East Community conference released article from Twi East community of Canada.
Part Five: (E) And many more.”

Historian and Identity Advocacy View:
As far I had been know Dinka Twic East people. They are responsible and respect public places for nonesense or unthical behaviors.
You people should know that, Dr. Majak Agot is not from Dinka Bor, he is being by Dinka Bor for some coverups ideals.
Whatever those people say is totally hypocracy to destroy the decent people of Dinka Twic East.
