Furthermore, in the major cities such as Juba, Wau, Malakal, Bor, Bentiu, Torit, Rumbek, Aweil, Kuacjok and Yambio; there’s a serious growing crisis of land ownership going on there as I speak and it has been fueling hostilities and animosities amongst South Sudanese people for many years now and it is getting worse day by day across the country. And for instance, in Juba city in Central Equatoria state which is the capital city of South Sudan; there is a heart-breaking crisis of land ownership in it and it has been fueling conflict, tribalism and animosity amongst South Sudanese citizens in the city.
There’re deep grievances over land ownership and there has been conflict and disagreement over the lands for many years now. Furthermore, it is crucial for the government of South Sudan to makes itself clear in terms of the policy that shall influence the question of the land ownership in the country. Additionally, South Sudan is in the process of putting up the permanent constitution and it should clearly define whether land belongs to the community or government. Because doing so will lay the clear foundation for a strong land act and land policy that’ll fuel economic growth and sustainable development in South Sudan.
Moreover, the land act and land policy will reduce cases of violence, killings, division and hatred amongst South Sudan citizens. It’ll eradicate cases of land scrabbling and killings across the country. Additionally, land is a precious environmental resource and its needs to be regulated and manage well in a manner that’ll not create pointless hostilities and animosities amongst our beloved sixty-four cultures. Every living citizen has a right to own land in South Sudan and there must be a clear land’s law to guarantee that. It is disheartening for our citizenry to fight amongst themselves over land cases in South Sudan. South Sudanese people don’t deserve to kill themselves over land issues.
They simply need to share lands peacefully because all the lands in South Sudan belong to them all without segregation. It is this very same land that they sacrificed their precious souls to fought with the past Khartoum’s authoritarian regimes until the time they got their hard-won independence and control over their natural resources. There must be clear guidelines and laws that regulate the process of land ownership in South Sudan. Moreover, there’ve been complaints and disputes over the lands in various cities and towns across South Sudan.
There’s a wide report from credible sources that some of the lands and homes of those who deserted them during the wartime of 2013 and 2016 in South Sudan have be occupied by others and they’re refusing to allow their rightful owners to reclaim them back after they return when the revitalized peace agreement was signed. It is significant that those people who unfairly occupy the lands and homes of others in the cities and towns abandon those lands and homes and let the rightful owners resume them so that they can settle down and rebuild their lives once again during the current peacetime in South Sudan. Additionally, the government have a bigger role to play in that task and to assist the victims reclaim their rightful homes and lands in order to settle down and move on with their lives. also, we South Sudan Environmental Advocates (SSEA) need lands to be acquire by citizens lawfully and peacefully. Finally, I’d like to kindly appeal to the National parliament and states’ governments to come up with clear land act and land policy in South Sudan. We don’t need our citizenry to fight and kill themselves over the cases of land ownership in our country. South Sudanese people must understand that land is acquire lawfully and fairly and not through senseless scrabbling, killings, hostilities and animosities in South Sudan.

“Opinion | The growing crisis of land ownership in South Sudan”
Mr. Beek.
Opinion are opinion, some of opinions are taken by others or authorities take what is good for their country and their citizens. The issue of land here is South Sudan pretty much a live death. Last year all those South Sudanese communities conference end with the idea that “the land belongs to South Sudanese people”. Some of our lands including our Southern Egypt are still own by foreigners.
Put that aside, our Panthou (Aliiny), our Gambella region and our Kiirtoum (Kahartoum) and many other lands are still occupied by our enemies. And our Nuers ke nyantoc and some their backers always try to play games that they know how how to fihgt wars, my arse. Alep triangle of where the damned Kakuma is easy to take back because Kenya has been keeping peace there and they will paid their right for keep peace Alep triangle. And if they play ball, the we will bomb them and get our Alep triangle and their own Kenya.
But there are low lives here in South Sudan, who think, who love poke their foolish long noses into ‘bee hives’ and when their low low lives are hit hard then, then they run to foreign capitals and then cry babies that they being unfairly targeted by ‘Muonyjangs/Jaangs/Jenges or Dinkas’. Our Riek Machar, a traitor, a secret society piece of trash and a fake PhD doctor, Lam Akol a Shilluk (chollos) and another fake PhD doctor, Aduok Nyabe another Shilluks and another PhD doctor and Mr. Joseph Oduho, an Acholis who was killed here in Jonglei, Kongor in 1992 after they *stabbed our mighty SPLA marched to Khartoum at the back, and when their bullshits taken head-on then then run foreign countries and cried foul that they being killed by the Muonyjangs/Jaangs/Jenges or Dinkas’*
Fellows, pure HATRED and RACISM is here. The low low lives even called themselves *Israelis* in Africa. Their Riek Machar has since gone to Deng Nhial battalion. The low low lives don’t that they are the ones being used by enemies who worship country and our people, every (10) ten years by their masters and their masters think, their will re-unite our country and our people and live side by side with our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, Abesh (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, some of their Bantuses, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, Nigerians, their evil white Americans, English people, their UN, their sleazy NGOs and some of their creeps in between who are behind *the Muonyjangs/Jaangs/Jenges or Dinkas ways of fighting wars*
Their Riek Machar went and study magic in the devil infested island at the university of Labrador, no one recognize their certificates , he came and *married an evil English piece of trash, an NGO worker, we killed her ‘on Ngong road, Nairobi, Kenya, reasons, we don’t consdier English people anything*
The so-called *AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION *is not go to pass in South Sudan for now. I studied at Nakuru high school after after I injured very badly in battle of Kapoeta, Eastern Equatoria* I was helped by the ‘International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)’ God bless them and treated at Lokichogio, Lupiding hospital, some of my South Sudanese young boys who were injured with me, in the the same same battle of Kapoeta we use to cry next ward.
Probably their injuries were worse than mine. I later met one of them, in Juba. his leg was ‘cut off’. I will be damned if there will be white men on this planet. We are going the vermins hell. If it very hard for us , then we will just destroy the vermins.parasites to nears oblivion/extinction—–reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. Says me, Daniel
