JUBA – One of the founders of the Juba-based Sudd Institute is saying that South Sudanese citizens are responsible for what is happening to their country now for glorifying the ruling Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) party despite the immense suffering from natural calamities, man-made violence and hunger.

Jok Madut Jok said on his social media Facebook page that despite the suffering of the South Sudanese citizens, some youth have been made into glorifying the SPLM party despite having failed to deliver the badly needed services to the suffering people of South Sudan and that citizens who do not question their leaders deserves the suffering.

“Compare the following photos,” he said, pointing to two photos in which women were see one the first photo evacuating a sick person from inside floods and the second of young men plus President’s Kiir’s security advisor wearing suit in a function to thank the president for appointing Peter Lam Both as Secretary-General of the ruling part.

“One is the only ambulance available to our people in rural areas to get their severely sick people to the nearest health center. The second and third are SPLM leaders and their supporting youth having an expensive soirée, a junket at Freedom Hall, paid from state coffers, to thank Salva Kiir for appointing some people into the ruling party’s leadership positions and to celebrate the ascent to power of people who have forgotten about the villages they come from.”

“This is the country that Salva Kiir calls himself the President of, it is the country we deserve for being silent citizens, upon whom this abuse and the nonsense called governance is being exercised!,” he said, adding that citizens should speak against the SPLM corruption.

“If we cannot question these abuses, who do we blame for our suffering? If we say ‘SPLM oyee’, even as we get washed away by floods, starve to death, die of preventable disease and generation of our kids go without education, so that some people can evidently eat so well, who is responsible?” he added.

    You can not blame all South Sudanese for being silent. The current government is a Jieng government. It has in several occasions held meetings through its proxy JCE to wage war against Equatorians. Now, anyone who criticizes the government criticizes Dinka. If you touch the cow, you touch a Dinka, you touch a Dinka, you touch the government. So now, there is no difference between the cow, a Dinka and the government of South Sudan. All these are backed by the militias – Gelweng, Matiu Ku Beng, Mathiang Anyor, etc. You now know who to blame.

    “Silent citizens’ deserve country of suffering like South Sudan – academic”

    Yeah. Ana taban ( I am suffering) again back with usual begging bowl. Ya Jamaa, didn’t Koryom division of Raat (lightening) battalion, sang a song that “taban ma mahana (a weak person is not with us)”

    South Sudan is always used ‘a bench mark’ by our enemies and even our some low lives here in the region, As the only hope to be making a living on her just like some countries next Afghanistan and some evils evils who attached themselves to our country and over our people.

    How is South Sudan becomes the most suffering country when we have a lot of cattle than Kenya, Uganda and North Sudan combined. Yeah, South Sudan and the South Sudanese people, are supposed to be used as other people, since they are called world newest people and and the newest country!!! Coming from some kind ‘astral world’ and that Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes,, cloned so-called Arabs of North Sudan, Rwandans, Kenyans and all, will used South Sudan and South Sudanese people, as their begging bowl around the to prop their economies over the backs of South Sudan and the South Sudanese people. on the ‘pretext of the so-called AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION, Propagated by foreign criminals and secret societies. Good luck fellows, dreaming has never been a crime.

    We caught them, with their fans down. Watch out fellows, you are going to be bombed to nothing./zero/zilch/nought—–reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM
