| Inter Governmental Authority for Destruction-The New Version |
IS IGAD UP TO ITS OBJECTIVES.
When I was in my secondary schools, I was taught that IGAD was called Inter-Governmental Authority on Development which deals with Regional prosperity, Peace and development. Throughout my life stay, I witnessed surely how it was operating especially under the leadership of people like Mwai Kibaki the former President of Kenya which foresaw the signing of Comprehensive Peace Agreement between late Dr. John Garang and President Omar Hassan El Bashir in 2005 as one of its greatest achievements ever seen. IGAD had all that it takes to see peace in the region so that other member states are not affected both politically and economically.
But now what went wrong? To be frank, the IGAD that I knew is no longer the IGAD that I know today, it has turned out to be an Inter-Government Authority for Destruction (IGAD-), the IGAD for destruction. Ask me why?
In 2013, when war broke out in South Sudan, IGAD was quick to come to stabilize the country for fear that other member states would be affected. The brokered many meetings to find immediate solutions to the conflicts that have pitted South Sudan into two personality of the Kiir's and Riak's. They did a lot in vain, no inductive results noticed except the continuity of war, in fact more rebellious group emerged up like those of Bakosoro's, Cirilo's, Lam's, Gadet's, Malong's mention more, all were under the watch of IGAD. Every time, a group emerged up against the governement it has been part of, ran to Addis and is welcomed to deliberate on how to portion the uncircumcised peace dividends together without their own colleagues whom they have been destroying South Sudan together with, IGAD welcomes that in the name of falsified failed Peace.
IGAD have been proposing for the primary warring parties to see that they coexist several unrealistically favouring one side always a sign of continues destruction, for example, the proposal of power sharing where SPLMIG takes 55%, SPLMIO takes 25% and other parties take 20% was a total foolish mathematical mindset. The concern here is, the different between 55% and 25% shouldn't have been underestimated by IGAD. The IO under Riak is primary here and therefore needs to be treated with great concern for the sake of sustainable peace, otherwise Solomon in his wisdom book called it useless and like chasing wind
Additionally, the youth positions is not recognised yet they are the majority including the women. I am to it that IGAD is definitely a union which only favour the older generations that want to benefit before they are out of the surface of the earth because of the ideology that they haven't yet enjoyed the fruit of their war of the 21 years. By not considering the position of the youth and the women of this country, IGAD is simply fueling the destruction of the country.
IGAD's reluctance to put pressure on the primary parties and the cliques who are anti peace tantamount to continues suffering of South Sudanese. Any plan without actions is a nightmare, and this is what IGAD is doing, it plans but for continues destruction of the innocent civilians.
IGAD should understand that, South Sudanese are suffering in camps, protection of civilians sites, in the countrysides and many other areas. It's not the people wishes but those who are negotiating for what they called peace wishes. The people wish is that the war stops now and forever.
If you read me from Addis, we are soon praying for miracle from God to send you fire for your to accept a genuine peace unconditionally.
IGAD, governments grouped together for destruction not development as the founders had wished
