THOUGHTS OF LAKER FILLED MY HEART ❤️ ❤️


22-5-2026

Poem: 

The Akwaya struck and left me sore,

Its burning pain cut to my core.

I slipped from Yat Yaa near the stream

While others laughed and mocked my scream


I climbed back down and hurried home

Bleeding, angry, left alone

How could Laker raise her hand

Against the laws of Gott Lotti land?


That night I missed the Wang Oo fire,

Too weak to join the village choir

I lay upon my Amokoding bed

While thoughts of Laker filled my head


The lyres and harps played from afar

Their rhythms rising like a star

Laker is dancing there tonight

I whispered softly in the night


My heart cried out with deep desire

Her beauty feeding hidden fire

Her voice drifted across the air

So sweet the ancestors could hear


The darkness grew, yet I could see

Her shining teeth still calling me

Like fireflies at Wang Ayii

Glowing through the night so free


Then suddenly a knock came near

A gentle voice fell on my ear

“I am Laker,” she said

You called for me from your bed


My heart stood still; I feared to move

Not knowing what my lips could prove

At last I rose and opened wide

Only the dog stood there outside


Its wagging tail increased my pain

Like heavy clouds that carry rain

The dog fled off into the night

And I remained without delight

A NEW ERA FOR NIMULE: Appreciation for the Mayor's Efforts.

HW: Hon. Fuli Caesar.   Nimule Bylaw... a great development.  4th Sept. 2025 In March, the state government designated Nimule Town Council as a municipal council. This move sparked mixed reactions among the community; some supported it while others opposed it. As a long-time resident of Nimule, I understand the complexities of this decision. Building on this development, I'd like to share my perspective on the town's progress. With over twenty years of living in Nimule, I've witnessed many issues that have hindered the town's progress. Previous leaders implemented policies that failed to drive real improvement. They collected taxes, but tangible benefits and developments within the town remained in the grave. I've contributed to the town's development through voluntary clean-ups with some youth groups (ICYA, YPCC) and advocacy efforts, calling for bylaws to protect local businesses and residents from exploitation.   However, with your leadership, Your Worshi...

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...

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...
