"CONFRONT KIIR'S LEADERSHIP FOR YOUR LONG TERM INTERESTS". THE DINKA COMMUNITY TOLD.

By Rights Lawyer Kenyi Yasin

09th July, 2025

Rights lawyer Kenyi Yasin Abdallah Kenyi said as South Sudan celebrates 14 years of independence, what should have been a moment of unity and progress has instead become a symbol of lost promise. Independence has been reduced to just a flag, a national anthem, and a regime without vision, direction, or development.

Power is seen as tribal privilege, not national responsibility, undermining democracy and the rule of law. This is a country that was born through a democratic referendum, where all 64 tribes voted for independence. Yet just two years later, it turned into a tribal state led by a regime that rewards loyalty based on ethnicity instead of merit or national interest.

The federal system, long demanded since 1947, remains unfulfilled. Basic freedoms and democratic values are ignored. This regime, rooted in tribal identity, fears elections and democracy, fearing loss of power to the other 63 tribes. Their hold on power relies not on popular support but on foreign military backing, particularly from Uganda.

The Dinka community must realize that confronting Kiir’s leadership now is in their best long-term interest. His rule has brought corruption, poor governance, and ethnic exclusion and left a dangerous legacy where future Dinka leaders may struggle to earn national trust from the other 63 tribes. If South Sudan is to rise again, tribal politics must come to an end. Only inclusive and visionary leadership can deliver justice, development, and unity for all South Sudanese.

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...
