Synonymy of Governments with Tribes: The Case of South Sudan (2-2) - Sudan Vision

When some rulers of Third World Governments (TWG) embarked consciously, and purposefully, to fill all major and minor government constitutionals, civil, and parastatal positions with their tribesmen and women, they inadvertently, forgot that, the other tribes are silently watching until what started as a discrete conduct, overwhelms the system, to the extent that, it is then regimented as the norm. 
This is especially true when you see some embassy Consulates of some TWG such as that of South Sudan. I want to be honest with myself, and with all members of the human race who see what is happening. I am going to call a spade a spade, not because I am against any single tribe, but because, I am going to describe the obvious which is open for every human person with eyes to see.

To all reasonable Dinka intellectuals and others; you and all of us, from the other tribes in South Sudan, must not bury our heads in our tribal and political sand, and think that, these ordeals shall just vanish of their own accord into thin air. We are steadily walking towards our political and other abysses, and it is our duty of care to rescue our people from this definite danger. It is sad that one is reduced to this level of addressing issues of State building via tribalism, but we have to do it. We do not want to be forced as a human society in South Sudan, to resort to tribal confrontations, as a way of life in South Sudan. The South Sudan will not be a safe place for all of us, and our tribal numbers ought not to mislead us into thinking that, numbers alone shall guarantee our survival.
I am one of those South Sudanese who despise tribal violence which is perpetrated against others for violence sake. I want it to be understood that, this is not an attack against the Dinka nation, nor is it an incitement of hatred against the Dinka people. This is simply a statement of fact that, the other tribes in South Sudan are of the opinion that, some of the Dinka rulers are constant and permanent sources of danger in South Sudan. I want my Dinka brothers and sisters to know this. It is a genuine dialogue that I want to establish. It ought to be known that, many tribes in South Sudan do not understand the logic of baseless violence which appears to have become a norm in South Sudan. The Bari people of Central Equatoria for example, these people are extremely peaceful others and they are just baffled, and confused, by the intensity of violence unleashed against them, by some tribes in South Sudan. It is not that they are cowards. They are just socially, culturally, morally, religiously, legally, and politically reasonable.  They were created like that, and they want to stay that way in South Sudan; because, that is what being human is all about. That is, being reasonable.
For example, there are many sons and daughters of South Sudan, from the other tribes, who see their Dinka colleagues, and some of these Dinka colleagues, were their academic laggards and some were their juniors, but, because of reasons known to the king makers in South Sudan, these Dinka colleagues, are now their bosses in various positions in the RoSS.

Not only that, within the SPLM as a political party, there are many non Dinka political carders, who have been left by the party political roadside, and a kind of cherry-picking exercise has been conducted; to select those who are deemed as desirable. These are facts. I know Dinka colleagues who were not SPLM members, and have nothing to do with the SPLM; however, they are now among the rulers, just because they are Dinka by tribe and nothing more. These facts are known by all people in South Sudan. The explanations these peoples of South Sudan give for these various discriminatory conducts are that, it is the government of Dinka, and therefore, the best qualifications you can hope to get, is to belong to the Dinka tribe, and the rest is history. This sounds simplistic, but, tell that to the other tribes in South Sudan, whose sons and daughters are unemployed in South Sudan because they do not belong to the Dinka tribe.
We are building a nation from the scratch as it were. So, if that is the case, all these issues which do not allow us to build this nation, from the scratch, in a better fashion, must be interrogated. Anybody who does not want these issues, which work against the fundamental interests of all the peoples of South Sudan, to be discussed, is an enemy of the entire peoples of the South Sudan. Any Dinka man and woman, who does not want these issues to be discussed, so that the good name of the Dinka nation is preserved, is against the interest of the Dinka nation and people in general.
The RoSS must be synonymous with all of us herein, and not just one single tribe. Some of us in the RoSS ought not to behave as if the RoSS is a company registered in their sole name as a tribe. The fact that people do not speak about these issues in the open, ought not to make the rulers of the RoSS believe that, everything is in order. For example, the place is awash with rumours about how junior or deputy ministers in the RoSS, and who emanate from the Dinka tribe, do not respect, and do not obey the constitutional directives of their senior ministers, just because, they are Dinka by tribe. These other ministers are made to feel as if their junior or deputy ministers are there to keep an eye on them, and not to work under them. This is not a sound working political environment. This kind of thinking must change. This feeling of a landlord in some of us, where some of the South Sudanese are considered as tenants is dangerous. It must change. All of us must work towards this positive change.
The feeling that others died more than the rest in the liberation war is not the right way to appreciate and celebrate the glories of our fallen martyrs, heroines and heroes. No heroines and heroes or martyrs are better than others. Every heroin and hero was a daughter and a son, and so on and so forth.
