It is time for recovery! Just watch if you don't want to help and let the government do his job. Dr. Okuk! please blame the party or the people that are running the politic or governing, but not the government or Southern Sudan as whole. Believe us! Any party that will fail to help the people of Southern Sudan through politic, economy, education, security, and the like of good wills, will be eliminated from Southern Sudan's future political parties list!
So far, the government has more than just a credit and you need not to rate down their good deeds! Why don't you just thank them for the job well done! Just say "long live the government of Southern Sudan!" Khartoum will never speak rudely to Southern Sudan again! More balance and more and more and more and more powers to the Southern Sudaneses and their government! The supportive voices for Southern Sudaneses around the world has spoken!

Is it true that anti-aircraft guns were found in private hands in Juba? How many of them and where were they found inside Juba? Who are those people from who these very heavy weapons were found if the commanders of the weapons search in Juba are not liars? If the SPLA and police have professional MIs and CIDs in Juba as detectives for security how did these very heavy weapons entered Juba in the first place? If this is true it confirms the complaints that the GoSS is occupied by incompetent staff appointed with tribal qualifications rather than professionalism. It is time to fire them and replace them with right staff.
I hope next time the combined SPLA and Police commanders of the weapons search in the South will not lie that they got hold of tanks, gunships, antinovs and fighter jets in the hands of civilians in Yambio, Yei, Numeli, Nasir, Malakal, Renk, etc. Let them say the truth of what they find without exaggeration. The Lies and exaggerations disqualify credibility!!!
It is undeniable fact that guns are widespread in Southern Sudan because this region is just out of time of war. Also it is undeniable that some guns have been seized from unauthorized persons in Juba but not to the extent of the exaggeration that was made by those of Minister Gier Chwang. It is fine for him to do the job he has been recycled for but let him be honest with the facts!!! Some of the guns which were seized and exhibited by the searchers were from legally authorized persons like the guards of some ministers. Now there are a lot of complaints regarding the immature seizure of guns from them without any sign of respect to their immunities. They have requested that their seized guns be return to them because they hold them by virtue of their being constitutional holders. Minister Gier and his company should not just take the law into their hands without other considerations.
Look at the mess that the GoSS has done and their ignorance of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Immunities and Privileges! What a pity to SPLM failures!!! The wrong impression has already gone out and the apology will not help reform the bad image of the SPLM leadership. I think, Minister Gier should be fired for ordering the operation without seeking advice of the Minsister of Regional Cooperation and without briefing the police and the army of South Sudan on who and where to search or not to search. Did his weapon searchers suspect the diplomatic and Consular premises in Juba of possessing anti-aircrafts machine guns? Did the doctors in Juba Teaching Hospital possessed guns rather than medical tools for them to be humiliated, beaten up and chased out of hospital as they ran for their dear lives and skins? Who will treat those who were beaten up or even injured during the weapons search operation in Juba when the doctors have been forced out to desert the hospital and even injured? Very bad and very shameful indeed!!!
