All South Sudanese dishonored: Should the President apologize? BY: Chier Akueny, Bishop Stuart University, UGANDA
NOV. 7/2011, SSN; First of all, I am here to register my innermost sympathy to the disappointed population of South Sudan back home and in all other corners whereby everybody feels animated with patriotism. I saw lots of writings which condemn the decision of Mr. President and his entire family for having given the first daughter, Adut Kiir, to a foreigner. Yes, Mr. President might be right at his own conscientious capacity as well as at the level of his family but not to the emblematic echelon of the nation as he is the truly symbolic leader of the nation. His action, needless to say, should lead as exemplary. The population of the new nation has fallen into serious gripe; this incident has become the leading topic since such subjects are never totally forgotten by the people and this subjective deflation was actually originated by the emblematic leader of the nation, Mr. Salva Kiir Mayardit, the President of the republic of South Sudan. Surely, how can the President mistrust the whole nation to the extent that he gave the First Daughter to a foreigner? Also I fail to understand what our dear President meant at this stage because, for him having not honored and respected the whole population of South Sudan, including all those important and courageous tribes of South Sudan who have been groaning with him since the time of Dr. John Garang and as well as the pains they felt in his rule since 2005 up to date? Mr. President, I think we have very important sons of South Sudan who can take and marry Adut Kiir without dithering. Apparently, it is very imperative to highlight that the world has seen the problem facing this young nation, South Sudan because our respectful President, the symbol of the country failed to respect and honor even a single person in whole population of South Sudan. It is really so surprising to find that the First Daughter of South Sudan had become a foreigner today, but what caused this disposition is the lack of respect for his own people and the office he is holding because Mr. President didn’t plan and think of what would be next if he acquiesced to give our respectful First Girl to a stranger, an Ethiopian man. At this instant, however, it would be important for the population of South Sudan to request our President to apologize to the Nation at large, leave alone greater Gogrialists, the inhabitants of the native land who lost their closest daughter to a stranger. I can’t imagine their mood now, as we felt humiliated. I don’t know for all his intents and purposes, but does our President want to register a history of being the first President to give his daughter to a foreigner in South Sudan? Where has he ever heard of such a case for him to compare with? It is really so ridiculous and downfallen case. It is such a bombshell issue to put in memory. This has shown and it has become evident to the citizens that our affairs have been hijacked by the foreigners. Mr. Salva Kiir failed to uphold our affairs. Mr. President, are we really safeguarding our affairs, resources and the respect of a whole nation? We are bogged down culturally. We are really shocked and lack some words to say since we became the nation of no directives and exactly our nation is tainted. Please we beg you to plan for an apology to the indigenous people of South Sudan. Dear readers, there are many wrong things to consider in President Kiir Mayardit’s action:--- 1. Did Adut Kiir fail to get a husband in South Sudan beautiful tribes enriched with wonderful cultures? 2. Is it very reasonable for our President to use national resources to make a beautiful wedding to a stranger, who is just an asylum seeker? 3. As concerned citizens, what can we do and say, for our President to understand these issues, because if it is for me, I can simply say that Salva Kiir should avoid arresting journalists who publish the burning issues of the citizens, otherwise it would be wise for Kiir to abolish what's so-called Media Laws, so that South Sudan also becomes the first nation without media in the world and this will be a very beautiful history that follows what he did. 4. Fourthly, we are even worried of your life since foreigners made full involvement in your family affairs to the extent that the First Daughter was impregnated. Does your security organ only know how to arrest citizens who talk and write in the media? Why don’t you train them to be protecting your home too like they are guarding your office, Sir? Finally, I would beg to broadly state the culpability of those Hon. Ministers who misused and spent their time to attend the wedding ceremony of Adut Kiir and Nardes. This is really a questionable action against his leadership. If President Kiir fails to respect the whole nation, therefore it was in actual fact unwise to mess-up with him. This wedding would have been beautiful if President Mayardit, First lady Ayen and daughter, Adut and her husband, Nardes were allowed to do their own wedding party without any significant involvement from fellow South Sudanese citizens. At this stage, we would simply say, Good bye Adut Kiir Mayardit, you are now an Ethiopian lady and your father is a President of South Sudan, what a disastrous and sorrowful state of South Sudanese!
