Nyaba’s Response To Response.

H.E. prof. Dr. Peter Adwok Nyaba the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research whose response to my article was rather evasive or an entry to launch an attack on the person of Dr. Lam, who will defend himself better than my self.

But the pertinent question remains; Is it not a scourge earth war that is going on in the Collo land, and is it justified to fight the alleged militia by killing of the innocent people? Is it not possible to protect the people and hunt down the alleged militia?. Are the militia living in the houses of the poor people to necessitate burning down the houses ? I am very aware that you are in picture of what is taking place in Collo land since you withdrew your candidacy from running as an independent SPLM break away candidate.

After you opened the eyes of the people with the article about Padang plan to take over the Collo land, many had approached you about the article persuading you to stop writing and since then you had casted your lots with the retreating lot for reasons quite obvious to many among which your sure anticipated failure in elections. Other reasons remain to be desired.

My namesake asked me this question “ Is it possible or rather permissible to engage in legal political work [registering a political party, conducting congresses, participating in parliamentary and presidential elections, etc.] alongside conducting illegal political actions [maintaining tribal militia in the Chollo Kingdom, having a parallel and invisible government structure: commissioners, police and security officers some of them still in the SPLA, Southern Sudan Police Service, National Security and Intelligence Service, Wildlife, Prisons and Fire fighters]; Can insurgents operate in the same terrain as the standing army and expect things to remain normal and peaceful? The SPLM-DC can’t operate doubly as an insurgent as well as a legitimate political party engaged in legality. Remember that ‘democracy’ and ‘illegality’ have never shared one bed” The simple answer is that neither democracy and illegality nor possible/ permissible to engaged in illegal work to share one bed. Thus all the contradictory collective activities you narrated above will not go un notice by all people or law firms. Thus your question is irrelevant and will not hold water.

The argument by Dr. Nyaba is to smear the name of SPLM-DC and expire the hot air of sweeping support of SPLM-DC by Collo people and indeed all southerners. What you and every body knows in the south is the clear rigging of April elections by SPLM/A as attested to by international community with evidences. The 93% scored by Salva was clear rigging by SPLM/A. This is going to hound you for long. Those independent SPLM candidates who stood their ground, stand a better chance to command respect among the people of south Sudan than those cawed down by ingredients of livelihood. Since the SPLM-DC became the hanging stick for the SPLM to hang their dirty linins, I want to ask my namesake these straight questions; What did you do when Salva Kiir decreed establishment of ‘Piji’ county on Collo territory? Was that to anger the SPLM-DC’s alleged militia? What sort of democracy in which deputies of a party can be jailed without clear verdict in court?

The a cephalous Jieng has the banydit or still 1st Lt. Gen. who can easily rule a territory. This is not the issue, The issue is what did you put forward for resolving Collo lands being grabbed and you maintain your ministerial seats “The Padang-Dinka aggression and lust for Chollo land can’t be resolved by the methods adopted by Dr. Lam Akol and his SPLM-DC which neatly fits into the schemes of the Islamists and northern colonialists to prevent the logical conclusion of the CPA implementation” Colonialism has no color as put by Dr. John Garang. The southern colonialists are abounding, and underpinning the atrocities suffered by Collo people to SPLM-DC, is rationalization by the professor to downplay their heaps of mistakes, as if George Athor, Cobra, Galwak Gai had been made to rebel by SPLM-DC.
