16TH MAY-A BLESSING OR A CURSE.............?

SUDAN PEOPLE'S LIBERATION MOVEMENT/ARMY SPLM/A DAY


Our Land, One Nation-One People
The South Sudan We Need
On 16 May SPLM/A makes 38 years in existence since its inception in 1983. This day is less by one year to me. When this party and its military wing was established, I was only 10 months in Sudan enjoying my motherly love in my peaceful village. I did not know what were wrongs because I was yet a baby.
According to narrations, Dr. John Garang and his compatriots rioted and rebelled against the oppression of the regime in Khartoum after failed peace accord of 1972 Addis Ababa agreement between Khartoum Government and Joseph Lagu. The following agreement too of 1979 Abuja (err period) did not hold water. This left the Southerners with no option but fight for Freedom, Liberty and Prosperity and engraved in the SPLM Flag and used today on the Country's Coat of Arm.

Was the war justified? Yes in deed
Many people including my uncles, relatives and my only beloved father disappeared in search of real freedom, liberty and prosperity, which was attained in 2005 and eventually the independence of South Sudan in 2011 where I participated actively in a referendum knowing that I will enjoy partly before I die.
IN 2011, when our flag was raised higher and Khartoum flag was lowered there were tears of happiness flowing down everyone's cheek. It was real hope that people have finally realised.
From the above experience one can assumed that the war fought 20 years ago was a blessing in reality because each one believe only to defend the country from invasion rather than living in fear of each other. Yes, this could have been right when wrongs were brightened before 2013.
In search of putting things right as envisioned, South Sudan found herself in a regrettable war that finally shattered every hope and homes.
The anticipated hope turned out to be hose, no love, no peace, everything shattered and scattered.
In conclusion, it clearly shows that, the long time war fought where millions of people shed their blood is just a continues curses not realised.
There is no way, that can put us on straight routes save we understand what development rather than destruction is, if South Sudan realises the importance of sovereignty, then blessing will be poured on her.
In my conclusion, SPLM as a governing party has lost its credibility and now shrinking the country into abyss of poverty and circle of corruption and endless war. Shame on You, SPLM and all its sectors, We are tired, We need Peace, Democracy and Sustainable Development. Period!

I am concern Citizen, will always point and speak my mind truly

Open Letter to the Governor of Eastern Equatoria State

02-08-2026 His Excellency Louis Lobong Lojore Governor, Eastern Equatoria State Subject: Urgent Appeal for the Immediate Removal of Cattle from Magwi County, Particularly the Nimule Area Your Excellency, I write to you as a concerned citizen regarding the continued presence of thousands of cattle in Magwi County, particularly in and around the Nimule area. This situation demands your urgent attention and intervention. In the recent past, government authorities, local leaders, and communities agreed that the presence of cattle in Magwi County is unacceptable. This position is consistent with the Presidential directive ordering all cattle to return to their areas of origin. Despite this clear directive, many cattle keepers, particularly from Bor, continue to disregard the order and have returned with large herds into the county. Today, thousands of cattle are moving freely in the Nimule area and occupying locations less than ten kilometres from Nimule Municipality. We are all aware of t...

UNMASKING THE RED BELT: Community Defense or Security Threats

WHY IS EQUATORIA MENTIONED? September 2, 2025 Many South Sudanese tribes have vigilante groups, particularly in cattle-keeping communities. Based on their mandates, it is clear that each group aims to protect and defend its community from neighbouring raiders. Communities like the Dinka, Nuer, and Murle have such groups, and their long-standing conflicts over resources suggest this is a survival mechanism. From my experience, South Sudan's community insecurity worsened in 2017 when the economy collapsed due to unresolved civil conflicts. Youths formed groups with different names, such as the Toronto, West Coasts, Black Mambas, and Invincible Scorpions, in Juba and other major cities. In Nimule, many of these youths brought ideas from Juba's Sherikat suburb after escaping arrest or internal disputes. Today, gangs are widespread in major towns and cities.   Recently, the Red Belt group emerged in Bor, disrupting a peaceful tournament and attacking the National Security Servic...

DO NOT JOIN STAR INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY MAGWI CAMPUS UNTIL IT FULLY ESTABLISHES ITS OWN STUDY CENTRE

Between 2017 and 2019, I wrote several articles about the fraudulent practices of Kampala University. Those who were its students were aggressively defensive, only to concede later. This happened after the Ministry of Higher Education declared the university illegal. Although the students pursued a legal case against the university, they sadly lost. Education is a right for everyone, but a learning institution should provide quality and legitimate services to the public. In South Sudan, several universities and colleges are operating illegally and exploiting poor students. On 22 June 2026, Star International University (SIU) launched one of its campuses in Magwi Payam, making it the second campus after the Nimule campus, which was established around 2021–2022. Accordingly, this could be the third campus in Eastern Equatoria, including the Torit campus. Such rapid expansion raises serious questions about the credibility of the university. A credible learning institution cannot spread i...
