WHAT I WILL

I will not dance to your war drums

I will not lend my soul nor my bones to your war drums

I will not dance for that beating

Rise Again

Rise Again

On whose terms shall we face destiny?

How long shall we toe meandering routes?

Old paths going to unchanged domiciles

A journey on their rancorous sequence

Stories of hate, spite, murder of child

Rape, chopping, mutilation of mother.

South Sudan: A State with the politics for personal interest to rule:

By Mading Abraham Majur, Kampala, Uganda

November 17, 2015 (SSB)  —-  A unique nature of political system in which the rivalries and struggle of power and willful mow rather that unfriendly institution, ideologies, municipal policies or class interests are fundamental in determining political. It is monopolistic politics as against pluralistic or dual politics.

It is the politics of big men who are substantial distance from the ordinary citizens of South Sudan politics of no accountability, transparency and responsibilities other practices in personal government are conspiracy factional politics and corruption purges.

Safer Paths Out of our Wartime Economy (3)

A Respectful Confutation of a Vice Chancellor, Prof. John Akec’s Economic Outlook

By Mayen D.M.A Ayarbior, Juba, South Sudan

David Mayen Ayarbior is the spokesperson of the the South Sudanese Vice President, Hon. James Wani Igga

November 17, 2015 (SSB)  —  In Africa, while it is always difficult to write an article which aims at proving a good leader wrong without getting a non-academic recoil, it is even more so when such a leader is a renowned and learned educator. As I read an article written by non-other than the Vice Chancellor of Juba University himself, Prof. John Akec, I found myself disagreeing with his academic argument that South Sudan should close its budget deficit through total abolition of currency controls. I hope that the VC shall take this rebuttal as he has surely been considering academic critiques of well-established scientists, which is so much encouraged and promoted in the academic fraternity.

Having written an article in the October 26^th edition of Juba Monitor, and as a learned citizen who happened to also be an economist, I found it imperative to write this confutation so that when inflation becomes galloping after the central bank abdicates its responsibility over currency stabilization, some of us will say that we presented our hypothesis but it was thrown onto the garbage bin.

By David Lony Majak, Kampala, Uganda

SOLIDARITY: Museveni and Salva Kiir are close friends.

November 17, 2015 (SSB)  —  It is not a surprise that President Salva Kiir has appointed his SPLM secretaries based on clannish-line up. Following the rendezvous of Dinka SPLM-Juba representatives is in a simplest terms regarded as tribal, clansim and sectional satisfaction under the leadership of President Kiir. Kiir dishonored SPLM-Aursha agreement to reunite SPLM because of erroneous advice imposed on him by President of Uganda and Jieng Council of Elders as he personally feels guilty not to disregard their negative advices.

The Land Issue isn’t the criteria for gubernatorial race in Eastern Lakes

A Response to Machiek Nhial‘s opinion article entitled: “Yirol Land should not be used as a scapegoat in the Gubernatorial Race for Eastern Lakes State.”

Map of the 28 states decreed by President Kiir on 2 October 2015

On the November 11, Machiek Nhial Makeny wrote an article published by the South Sudanese bloggers known as Paanluel Wel. When I took my little time at night to pass through his writing, I found something which was not true and that need correction in his opinions writing and given the fact that Mr. Machiek lives in Kenya and he is a bit far away from Juba where politics of the newly created 28 states are discussed.

May peace and reconciliation prevail in South Sudan!!

“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”― Albert Einstein

November 17, 2015 (SSB)  —  In the paradox of human evolution we learnt to love one another in the family relations or friendship and hate one another in pretext of antagonism which is necessitated by worldly material needs.

The political environment and family set-up in which we are exposed influence and constitute the formation of our mental compositions and determine the texture in which one is being positive or negative toward other.
