Women Praised For Liberation Fight
The Presidential Advisor on Legal Affairs, Telar Deng has hailed women for efforts in the liberation of South Sudan urging women not to be deceived by people that they fought for their rights in what seems to be a reaction to the Presidential Advisor on Gender Affairs, Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior. 16 May 2013 Presidential Advisor on Legal Affairs, Telar Deng. [Misuk Moses Mule] By Misuk Moses Mule JUBA, 15 May 2013 [Gurtong]- “Some people talk about issues of women and their rights but those who went to the bushes know very well your participation. We know how hard you suffered. Women did all sorts of things including handling of the gun,” he said. He said people are preaching political propaganda and that no one should claim to have fought for the rights of the women because they fought for themselves. “We know your struggle and can people come to preach to you that we will marginalize you? Its not possible,” he added. Telar said that the government cannot oppress women because they are part of men and promised that rights of women will be protected. The presidential advisor said those women who were in the government controlled areas had to undergo a lot of suffering and that they had to make alcohol to educate their children and were lashed. Last week, Nyandeng told women that she had worked hard during the SPLA struggle to ensure women are represented.
