Return of Dangerous Generals in South Sudan

By Deng Kur Deng, Pennsylvania, USA

peter Gadet Yaka, Rebels Conference in Pagak, Maiwut County, Upper Nile state. Dec 8-10 2014.. “we cannot reward an enemy of this nation who killed thousands of people to remain in power. He must be removed by force if IGAD can’t find a way out for him” said Peter Gatdet.

March 23, 2016 (SSB)  —-  Over the course of the 21 years of Sudanese civil war, many young men left schools to join what would be called one of the longest civil wars in African history. It was a journey that left families shattered, lives lost, and the future in question. For a soldier, the end of the war meant the end of a way of life.

Being in the army is the embodiment of discipline, and the military cannot function without that discipline. The regimen of discipline establishes certain norms, and those norms are the idealized part of the army; no one questions whether they are consistent. Unfortunately, there are those norms that allowed some people to act outside of laws, with wanton disregard for character and liberty, in order to dehumanize others who were less powerful. I am glad that the SPLA is now an organized army following laws and protecting innocence lives.

Letter to the Admin: Stop posting graphic images on PaanLuel Wël Website

March 23, 2016 (SSB)  —-  PaanLuel Wël website should differentiate between educational and un-educational images, this is public forum for educational purposes not Facebook where you can just posted whatever you want on your home page. Those images that are always posted with some articles that are addressing the girls issues in South Sudan are not appropriate to the followers this website at all, they convey different meaning than what the writers are trying to tell the readers. So please if you guys see these kind of images please delete them before you guys posted the article or if the writer of the article insist and then please reject that article completely even though it is telling us Jesus has come. Everyone who know how to read young and old goes on this website to learn about what going on, but not to learn through the graffiti images which are always accompanied by unnecessary words or language that are suitable to the youngest. So please put that one into your consideration.

In Jonglei state, all counties are equal but some are more equal than others (Part 5)

By Kon Joseph Leek, Juba, South Sudan

Commander Maker Deng Malou

March 23, 2016 (SSB)  —-  Gen. Kuol started clearly so well with the words of mutual co-existence, he went on historically in mentioning the people of Bor County who were once people of Duk county and are now natives of Bor County and vice versa (Kuoldit was very right in that anyway, only that Bor county people who are now natives of Duk have never, still are, and will never be given names to humiliate and isolate them, something contrary to what is being done to our people who are now natives of Bor county to whom songs which are scornful, disdainful, isolative and humiliating are composed against them, they have been termed as immigrants, foreigners and Nuer!, I hope you can agree with me in that)

The convergence of Kenyans around South Sudan Embassy in Nairobi is an attack on the Sovereignty of South Sudan

By Garang Biar, Juba, South Sudan

March 23, 2016 (SSB)  —-  In response to the provocative measures that the Kenyans citizens are doing around the premises of South Sudan Embassy in Nairobi, and to the South Sudanese national in Kenya today, I would like to tell Kenyans that they are attacking an independent State. The sanctity of the foreign embassy in any country should always be respected no matter what because its represent the government and the people of that country in the host country.

It has to be protected even if the two countries go to war, no one is allowed to step a foot on the Embassy premises of that very country that you are fighting with. If the situation escalates, the official of that country are officially told to leave the country without any harm. This is a great principle of international law of which Kenyans must be well burst with since they have been an independent country for over fifty years.

Dr. Marial Benjamin’s immature denial and justification has made it worse

By David Mabior Atem, Winnipeg, Canada

Marial Benjamin, minister for international affairs, with Aguer Panyang, SPLA spokesperson

March 23, 2016 (SSB)  —-  Without wasting time, on a personal capacity, I call upon Dr. Marial Benjamin to unconditionally and immediately resign and apologize to Abyei’s people and the South Sudanese population who united together and fought tirelessly for statehood. Starting from your letter dated March 6-March 22, 2016; you have shown unpatriotic and unacceptable behaviours in your comments against compatriot Dr. Luka Biong Deng and the people of Abyei in general.

In Jonglei state, all counties are equal but some are more equal than others (Part 4)

By Kon Joseph Leek, Juba, South Sudan

Commander Maker Deng Malou

March 23, 2016 (SSB)  —-  Jonglei is disunited today because of the inability of its leaders to rise to their responsibilities; they are simply being members of their communities! I just ask myself that, “Why do the good among us seem so helpless while the worse are full of vile energy?”

On 19^th, March this month. Gen. Kuol Manyang at his capacity as the SPLM’s chairperson of Jonglei State called the representatives of the three counties of Duk, Twic East and Bor to meet him in one of the hotels in Juba.
