THE UNFORSEEN CONSEQUENCES. Part Two

Part 2: THE VOICE OF JUDGMENT

As the villagers gathered and pondered the strange event unfolding, with Kenyi confused, a powerful flash of light streaked across the village, accompanied by a thunderbolt striking a nearby tree. Everyone at Kenyi’s home collapsed. It was the village chief and his aide who remained standing without shaking. After nearly five minutes, those who had collapsed regained consciousness. The chief signalled for silence among the villagers and began an incantation. 

He asked Kenyi what had happened, as he had arrived late before the incident with the lightning and thunderbolt. As Kenyi began to recount the incident, a collective voice echoed across the village like a falling cloud. The voice spoke in a tone that commanded attention: “To you all, sons and daughters of this great land, the land of wonders and prosperity. Your village has been infected without you rising to prevent the cause. Why did you compromise the lives of the innocent? Listen to the blood that is crying beneath the temple of love and justice. Infidels have invaded your peace, and you are destined to destruction because of your silence.”

 

The chief knelt and asked the voice, “Who are you that we should honour and obey? We have never heard of any gods of this kind that is jealous because of our faults. Did we even know that we had offended you? Tell us your royalty, so that the village will know their blindness and reform according to your directives.” The voice identified itself as the creator, saying, “I am your creator. I placed you in this village to multiply, love and enjoy the fruits of your labour. I am concerned about the rot and smell my kingdom is experiencing by the riverside. I charge you now to look and bring Wani, your neighbour, alive for me, lest I withdraw my peace and rain hail on you.” 

As the voices continued to demand the presence of Wani, who had disappeared. Lodu arrived with some police officers and the parents of the deceased baby, only to find the voices vanishing in a thick cloud. The villagers were astonished to see a shiny coffin box following the direction of the voice. Lodu notified the police that it was the coffin box they were looking for, and the sight of the flying coffin shocked everyone. The police officers retreated, stating that the scene required spiritual matters. 

The chief immediately ordered a search for Wani, along with the police. The women returned to their normal home duties, while everyone else paired up and took different directions, especially towards the forest where Wani had escaped. “If he resisted arrest, he would be given no option but to be subdued to avoid further fatalities.” The chief concluded

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...
