His Excellency General Salva Kiir Mayardit
President of the Slava Kiir Mayardit Republic of South Sudan
J-1 Amarat, Juba
The Republic of South Sudan
Dear Mr. President,
On behalf of Agaar Community in Canada, USA and Australia, we condemn
the acts of violence which rocked our nations’ capital over the last
few days and call upon those behind it to stop immediately to avoid
any more bloodshed. We condemn in the strongest possible terms yet
another coup attempt by the former vice president Dr. Riek Machar and
his followers. This behavior has once again reminded the people of
South Sudan of his infamous coup attempt of 1991 which resulted in
loss of so many innocent lives and the split of the liberation
movement SPLM/SPLA. Doubtlessly, all agree that without Mr. Machar’s
first abortive Coup, the people of South Sudan would have been
liberated way long before 2011.
We are writing to you also, dear Mr. President, to express our strong
support for your leadership as our beloved country goes through this
very difficult time. As a democratically elected president, you are
the legitimate leader of our nation and any claim that suggests
otherwise is false and must be rejected, In addition, we believe in
peaceful transfer of power through the democratic process and not
through violent means such as coup d’ etat. We deeply regret the loss
of innocent lives as well as the alleged involvement of a dear son of
Agaar Community, former governor of Lakes State, Eng. Chol Tong Mayay.
We are also taking this opportunity to appeal to the international
community to support the fledgling democracy of our young nation, and
we urge all Southern Sudanese communities and tribes where ever they
are not to listen to those desperate opportunist politicians who seek
power through violence. South Sudan belongs to all of us and it is the
duty and an obligation upon each and every one of us to safeguard its
unity, stability and build it for the generations to come.
Dear Mr. President,
while we have no doubt in your ability to bring an end to this
calamity, we ask you to protect the lives of all South Sudanese
including those suspected of involvement or of inciting the current
acts of violence, till such a time when those suspected must face
justice in a fair court of law.
As a community which is always mindful of and cares about the unity of
our people, we appeal to you, Mr. President, to follow the good
example of the recently passed African leader, the former president of
South Africa, Nelson Mandela, and see those politicians who are now in
detention with the eyes of leniency and forgiveness, as late Madiba
saw those who jailed him for 27 years. We would also like to extend
our sincere thanks to the UN mission in South Sudan for their role in
protecting the lives of thousands of civilian South Sudanese during
the last few turbulent days of violence.
Finally, May God blesses your leadership and may he bless the Republic
Of South Sudan.
Long live the Republic of South Sudan and long live the unity of South
Sudan People.
Signed:
Eng. Ezekiel Mabor Manguen Chairman of Agaar Community in Canada
