I chatted online yesterday with my White man friend whom I met two years ago in a bookshop in South Africa and asked me impolitely, ” Why are you still at war with yourselves and how do you handle COVID-19 with your fragile economy, healthcare systems and ineffective government? ”
I kept silent for 3 minutes to get an accurate answer and before responding, he asked me again, why are you silent. My answer was that we are managing despite all our shortcomings as a nation. The fatality and cases rate in South Sudan is low compare to yours, I told him.
After 30 minutes while chatting, he asked me with the last most stupid question: Is there same sex marriage in your country? My response to him was that you check ONLINE whether it is allowed or not in South Sudan.
His comment on my reply was that South Sudan needs to legalize same sex marriage so that it gets get more funds to stabilize its fragile economy and improve healthcare systems as it has been legalized in some few African countries.
My emotional response to him was that same sex marriage would NEVER happen in South Sudan; given our rich culture of resilience toward challenges. I felt offended and locked him out of communication.
The lesson learned from such conversation to my African Heads of States and governments:
You need to fight governance curse which has been hampering our continent development for centuries and this is possible when we ARE BRUTALLY HONEST WITH OURSELVES AND PRIORITIZE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY in the management of our God-given resources.
Here we will not suffer from what is called the paradoxes of plenty and therefore we will be able to fund our megaprojects of development and other upcoming unforeseen pandemics.
If we fight this governance curse by defending our constitutions, where those found guilty to face rule of law, we will not be forced by outsiders because of their millions dollars to adopt cultures and implement agendas that are against our way of life.
With zero tolerance to widespread corruption, high economic inequality and sub-standard public institutions, human rights abuses and tribal/ethnic conflicts, our heads of states and governments will be able to deter intervention of external political agents or imposition of foreign interests in term of regimes changes.
In conclusion, there is no way African Heads of States and governments should be vulnerable to such humiliating conditions to those that named themselves superpowers if we are financially stable and govern ourselves as they do, because they are not ANGELs or small gods.
To everyone discomfit, National Employees working with foreign businesses across Africa despite their excellent credentials and experiences, are being treated as animals and living miserable working conditions at the watch of their governments as consequences of such vulnerabilities and inferiority complexes of the highest orders.
Our daily business as African citizens of fighting over petty issues need to stop and start taking charge of our roles to avoid re-enslavement of the continent.

Mr. Gabriel Matut Maliah,
Other Africans are at least faring pretty well, but here in South Sudan. We have our lowly informed Nuers ke nyantoc and even some of our Agaar and Twic Mayardit of Muonyjiengs/Jaangs/Jenges/Dinkas communities and Murles who love to fight their cheap and clannish warfares, the wars they don’t even later on settle. and call our selves the God’s chosen or the so-called Israelis in Africa. The evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs. The evil juus (so-called israelis) are our real enemies. They have nothing to with your damn Israel fools, they are just bunch of low lives from today’s, *north East Turkey and Caucuses*
Benjamin Netanyahu would be dead fools. Pope Francis of Italian, Queen Elizabeth of devil infested Island of England, is dead. COLD WAR has never gone anywhere. Catholic church is not a religion, Anglican church that was headed by queen Elizabeth is not a religion, Presbyterian church is not a church, Islam is not a religion, Judaism is not a religion, Hinduism, Budhism, Voodosim or Sharmanism are not religions.
But when we tell our fools that these vermins/parasites you often worship are pretty lower than us, then they say, they want more. Watch out fellows. Romans, Irish and Arabs are not in the slightest ‘equal with us and our people’.
Libya was once colonized the Romans, but they have never ever colonized our ‘Valley of Kings, Southern Egypt and North Sudan’. But our low lives are gain trying to repeat the same mistake again. But would be dead. I am one of the boys who will again help bomb the vermins/parasites out of our country and over our country once and for all. Reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
We have been asking our fools to let us round up *the evil white Americans, White English evils, their cloned so-called Arabs of North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, some of their Bantuses, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their UN, their sleazy NGOs, UNMISS of Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans and all, kill them and throw them into the Nile and be done with them*
South Sudan is not part of the so-called ANGLO-AMERICAN empire or the so-called commonwealth country. Never has and will never will under the sun and even in million years. South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Zimbawe, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria and Ghana are British colonies in Africa. Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique, Angola and other central Africa countries and West Africa are French colonies.
Be very very careful fools. We just want a whistle to be blown and there will be no white men in Africa, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
*Let us bomb some of their Bantuses of Kenya, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitues, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their UN, their sleazy NGOs, UNMISS of Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans and all, kill them and throw them into the Nile and be done with them*
Malual Giernyang Jieng/muonyjieng/Jaangs/Dinkas community is asked to keep watch, we will ask them to join the war, if the war with enemies is too tough to win. But I doubt it, we if our enemies are going to survive our bombings. The vermins/parasites have attached themselves to country and over our people like ‘leeches or ticks’.
But there are some limits.>>>
