Kingdom Under Occupation

One must pay tribute to the synergy of uncle Ogilo. Though Mr. James Ogilo tries to stop me from calling him uncle, I always call him uncle out of respect and will always do. Uncle James, you have proven to be very active more than all of us and for that I thank God and pray for long days as we really need you.

Uncle, you have done a lot and could have peacefully retired somewhere but I suspect that you have chosen to stay on the stage as the need is huge. Keep up the good work.

For quite a time I have tamed my keyboard and against all odd decided not to write on the Shilluk issues since my last article “Kingdom under siege” That article was published on Pachodo.org some years back and many did not pay attention to it.

I’m not a prophet but with confidence I can say that had we paid attention to those small alerts we might have been a little bit better than the complete disgrace that we lingered under now a days.

I want to inject some of my understanding to the writing of Mr. Daniel A. Daniel and the ridiculous wild claims in his last article that I summarized into the following two points:

1- Daniel claim that “Shilluk nation is one of the most represented in SPLM, GOSS, and on the federal level”

Daniel must be a bloody ignorant to insult the Shilluk in the broad sunlight like that or hence he must be a pure tribalist who think that Shilluk is a very tinny tribe that have taken more than what it deserves. This man is speaking down his nose and tackling what is happening to the Shilluk in the Slave and Master relationship mentality and he is not alone these days since the ideology have changed from new Sudan to new Masters.

Personally, I’m not surprised by Daniel attitude since his party leadership is grabbing the Shilluk land and his commanders in the Army are raping the Shilluk women both married and virgins.

Daniel arrogance has in a vivid way animated the mentality of occupation that we’re under and I think it is time to remind him and his like that the Sun has already set on the British Empire.

If all what is happening is done in the name of fake liberty or unity then Daniel need to know that “No unity between slaves and masters” , hence, history will count the great emancipator Lincoln wrong when he paraphrased Jesus and claimed that “ A government shall not endure half slaves and half free.” My question is how will Daniel preach unity in a house divided against itself? Come on, we should be vigilant and should not allow the hypocrite to fool us all the time.

Daniel might think that we’re an overrepresented minority but will he morally agree that we should be dislodge from our land to make way to some tribal empire?

Are the Shilluk asking too much when they stand up for dignity and land entitlement?

2- Daniel:” Therefore, the notion that somehow, the SPLM/A is singling out the Shilluk Kingdom is simply unfounded and misguided at best, and it is aimed at wounding our unity.”

This is another arrogant loaded statement and the question is why is Daniel denying the orchestrated humiliation that the Shilluk are subjected to by the SPLM/A or simply say by GOSS? How is sound minded person term what is happing as a notion?

Is the master Daniel trying to tell the slave Shilluk that he knows better than us and that what is happening is in fact in our interest as people and we should endure it for the sake of unity?

I doubt there is a Shilluk who can buy into that gibberish because the dignity, safety of citizen plus the entitlement to the Nyikang land is a red line that should not be compromised.

True, there are a lot of wicked voices who claim that our border with the North is the most important but to them we say a border is a border. As we will not allow the north to occupy an inch of our land we will not also allow any other person to occupy an inch of our land. I think this should be clear to Mr. Daniel.

What is happening in the Shilluk Kingdom is not disarmament but a humiliation to break the strength and the pride of Shilluk Kingdom. If torturing, killing and raping are done in the name of unity and liberty then we’re better off without that unity.

Daniel must apologize to the Shilluk for calling them minority while they are not and also for falsely accusing them of greed.

As to how does Daniel gauge the representation and reached the conclusion that the Shilluk nation is one of the most represented the ball is on his court to solve this puzzle. Other wise, he is imprudently lording it over the Shilluk in the era many are fate up with the new conversion of SPLM party from comrades to bourgeoisie, from liberators to corrupt oppressors, from new Sudan to new Masters and from marginalized to marginalizers.

What happening in the Shilluk kingdom these days with people being unlawfully arrested, some being picked by the MI under the cover of darkness, land being grabbed is not less than neocolonialism or occupation.
