PRESIDENT TRUMP IN OBBO VILLAGE, MAGWI COUNTY

I did not know how President Trump reached Obbo, our Village, but the fact is, we had a productive meeting with him. As I was passing by, I heard the village chief calling, "Abonga! Hey, Abonga!" I turned my eyes and met Trump's, whose eyes sparkled. He was jubilant with the villagers, which left me surprised. "Did the spirits welcome him?" I wondered. "Okay, let me attend to the chief's call." 

As I approached the gathering, Chief Oketayot, our community leader, introduced me to Trump, saying, ‘This is Abonga.’ As he hugged me, I calmly greeted Trump: ‘Hello, Sir! You are welcome to our great land, a land of ancient secrets that bring fertility to both the people and the land. Nice meeting you.’

Following the greeting, Trump shook my hand violently until the strength hit Got Loti like an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 Mw. I looked into his eyes and realised terror forming like clouds. I felt irritated and shouted, ‘Have you come to harm us? We're not terrorists!’ Trump looked at me with a hint of amusement and said, ‘Calm down, Bona Abonga. I've recognised your concerns for the people of Obbo, and I'm here to offer both technical and financial support to them.’ 

After Trump's reassurance, his appeal surprised me. How could a modern president venture into a small village like Obbo? Who even informed him about our humble community? Chief Oketayot shot me a suspicious glance, asking his secretary in our local language, "Has Abonga lost his mind?"

In response to the chief's query, I intervened, "Brother Trump, could you kindly outline your policies and their potential impact on our local people? What specific support do you envision for our community?" 

Trump then addressed the gathering: “My dear, beautiful people of Obbo, I'm honoured to be here with you today. I travelled 24 hours to reach this special place. We have heard about the challenges you have faced and the difficulties with neighbouring communities. My policies are straightforward: let's work together and cooperate for the betterment of our community.” Trump said, followed by rounds of applause from the community. Men, women and children gathered to listen to him. 

As I listened to Trump's words, I concealed my anger for peace, because I knew it was difficult to cooperate with America.

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
