THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

SHOW ME THE WAY TO YOUR GRAVEYARD

A mess in hope, I took an evening walk

Along the roads, lost in thought's dark talk

Tried to figure life's meaning, but it slipped away

Couldn't find my loved wife, from A to Z, day by day

I lifted my eyes to the skies

Thought it was a ghost, a vision that surprised

Saw a young lady, traveled through the highs

Still, that couldn't impress my heart's compromise

She shone so bright, the brightness of the gods of Lotti

I felt a touch, and my heart began to ignite

The smiles make one travel in search of the gods

Missing her makes one look like Noah's ark in a flood of tears and rage

She stood still as I wandered in love's deserts

Beneath her grounds, magnetic attractions evaporated

Towards my sky of emotions, they kept rising high

Above the level of condensation, like a dark cloud, happiness formed

A massive cyclone rains wing through the Imatong Mountain

My heart took me through my legs, the good news of love's sweet fountain

The good news of rain of love drips, sound in abundance

My heart leapt towards her; there was no need to be calm

Slowly, step by step, my heart continued humming heavily

Closer and closer, she paced nearer, my love, my everything

Her movements kept torturing my informed oblongata

Like an attack from cerebral malaria, a love that's hard to abate

Pains ring through my mindset; my heart pondered

Old memories revitalised, my legs paralysed, my soul yondered

Show me the way to your graveyard

I must reach through your smiles, break my bones

Your beauty strikes my flesh; your love kindles my heart

Don't leave me, Tuktuk, Amari Ba Lapal Cwinya, I love you.

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...
