What is the SPLM culture under current leadership?

One of my favourite things to read and think and write about since I was in the primary school is organisation culture.

What excites me is gaining insights into our subconscious motivations, learning how our surroundings silently transform our beautiful values into miserable ones, when a particular party compels us to embrace an unwelcomed culture and when it blocks our rights to rebel against its ill intentions.

In my opinion, this sort of reflection is not central to the task of our cultures. That's why I'm eager to tell you about the SPLM cultures and how each one of these cultures of. Corruption and tribalism effectively contribute to our misunderstanding of the leadership.

In the western world today, many parties are tackling the massive topic of how to deal away with racism, discrimination, and corruption as social ills by encouraging high moral values and incorporating them into the nation's cultures.

Unfortunately the SPLM leaders contemporary behaviours are none but a reality that constantly make our people to feel unsafe. And no wonder that the people are beginning to talk more seriously about considering sanctuary safety. This is actually how the SPLM-DC came into existence as a legal off spring of the desperate situation with a hope to bring the needed peace and transformation in our society.

Dr Lam has placed himself in charge of the SPLM-DC at a critical time in our history when serious events are interacting in the national political arena and it has made him to be viewed through dark screens. There is joke in Britain, that, the Ladies who worked at the British Mills once plotted and destroyed the textile machinery because they thought that the machines would take over their jobs.

SPLM though that Dr Lam wants to gain leadership through the formation of the new party so they are thinking that it would be better if they can get ride of him early before the election. But, in reality this is not Dr Lam's intension in any way, but rather the new party came as a result of the lack of leadership in the SPLM. It was with the good intensions to spare the SPLM any power struggles that Lam refused to respond in kind to all the humiliations directed towards him, but he waited until he finally made his way out.

In fact having the courage to form the right party to save ones nation can be some-time a difficult task. However with SPLM-DC, it has never been any easier. Thanks to God that Dr Lam, made it. And thanks to all those who contributed with their wonderful articles and analysis that tackled the justifications for the formation of SPLM-DC. But I can still assure you that some articles and analysis were full of tribalism sheers, individualism and jealousy.

For your information Dr. Lam did not leave the SPLM as some of our brothers and sisters are claiming , it's the SPLM that left him and dismissed many others without tangible reasons as a proof to the fact that the SPLM leaders of the day have completely deviated from the Movements noble vision and direction.

SPLM-DC supporters are not only from the Shilluk, the Nuer, or the Dinka tribes. But they are from all the southern Sudanese tribes, representing a wide range of free thinking and open minded people who refused to be part of the parcel or package of corruption and tribalism that has terribly captured the daily lives of the common south Sudanese.

The SPLM has always held the flag of discrimination and tribalism and some of its supporters are preaching against our unity directly or indirectly during the past four years or so. After the CPA, SPLM was immediately converted into a tribal industry for the Dinka tribe and their friends, even some of them are opportunists who have nothing to offer to their people. Please if you are honest can you tell me what the main objectives of the liberation struggle were and compare and contrast that to how the SPLM leaders are behaving today?

Yes, you may be right to disagree with honourable Dr Lam Akol and his methods but you should not resort to the usage of derogatory, discriminatory and any abusive words for that matter. As we all know that Dr Lam Akol did many good things and is still doing even more for South Sudan and the marginalised people all over Sudan. In other words he is fighting for the justice, equality, stability and peace for the people of South Sudan and the Sudan at large.

It was him (Lam) and Dr Riek Machar in 1991 who called for the right of self-determination for the people of South Sudan to be explicitly adopted by SPLM/A as their inputs into CPA. However, it is his right time now to become the president of South Sudan as well as that of the whole a Sudan and we shall only judge him by the way he is going to run the country?

Since the death of our hero John Garang, Salva Kiir, has taken the position of leadership but unfortunately he has not been performing well. If the SLPM leaders were genuine they should have admitted with courage the failure of their party and face up to its difficulties. They should not blame other parties for their failures, but rather they should have explicitly shown to the public which direction the party is going and what they are going to do to bring security and order. And how were they of going to change their party's (SPLM) deeply enrooted culture of corruption, tribalism and nepotism.

As a southerner I am so proud for being one and I completely believe that south-Sudan will shine if Southerners rise up for change of course towards the better and start taking pride in being Southerners. We need a leader who will focus on: Humanity and ethics as basic principles. A person of Integrity, Responsibility, with Respect to laws and rules, Respect to the rights of other citizens, and the rights of all citizens over their ancestral lands, and we should leave the Animals Farm's cultures which the SLPM leaders and supporters are preaching nowadays. We need to adopt good attitudes that comply with the functional principles of our cultures as urgency before the referendum in 2011. Grace and peace

Long live SPLM-DC
