MILITRY REGEME IN CHARGE IN THE SOUTH.

By: Dr. Peter Adwok Otto.

What was feared several months ago that SPLA is not people’s army has now happened. What had been predicted several months ago that SPLM is not a democratic political party has now happened. What also had been predicted that the south is heading towards SOMALIZATION, is about to happen.

What had been predicted that the SPLM SG will run away when the iron is hot had now happened. What was predicted that the south is going to vote for unity of Sudan out of fear from Kiir’s totalitarian regime in the south is about to happen and that SALVA is going to turn into Augusto Pinochete of Chile or Paul Pot of Vietnam is about to happen. Democratic practice had turn into hell these days in the south and the military personnel of SALVA are at the throat of the citizens every where trying to prevent them from electing the leaders of their own choices.

Salva kiir should have come above the small personal interests and wanton for another chance to be crown the president of GOSS or an Emperor even over the dead bodies of the southern people. We thought he would aspire to be a great leader like Juliou Nyarere, Keneth Kaunda, or even Nelson Mandella. But he seems pose to eradicate militarily those who oppose him. The question is, What did he do in the last five years to deserve peoples’ votes? Completely zero. He is not going to achieve any thing not in the coming ten years, because you can’t give what you don’t have. If continues to kill people for the sake of power, he will end up in Hague and there after in the dust bin of history.

Two people shot dead at the polling station in Unity state, snatching of boxes in Fashoda county harassment of the officials at polling stations all over the south by SPLA will not go un accounted for by SALVA. Those advising Kiir must understand that the southern people are no animals who will just let Kiir come to power again.

Look at Bona Malwal being siege by 30 soldiers’ vehicles is a bad joke. If SALVA declares himself president of GOSS by this tactic, he will be isolated by the whole world and as a result of sanction many things are likely to take place and people of the south will suffer in a similar way Mugabe clink to power in Zimbabwe which impoverished his nation leaving people in abject poverty with cholera epidemics because of no good drinking water. SALVA will have buried his head in the sand should he believe that he is popular or loved by the southern people. For those who flatter the president, curse is upon you, because you have not told him the truth that people of the south want him out today and not tomorrow. Removal of Kiir is becoming a matter of urgency and decency before the south goes to dogs.

The smooth democratic transfer of power in a democratic transformation process and practice is needed, to keep the south as an entity. But trying to rig the polls could have bad impact and out come given the current situations of military insistent scaring the people and snatching the ballot boxes if they are not afraid of the people why would they do just that? Advisors of the president of GOSS must feel ashamed that they had not been able to protect the president from the nation’s hate which a is a curse.
