(Pachodo.org) - Revolution's a tough gig, packed with threats and betrayal. If you're not brave and ready to sacrifice yourself, rebellion especially against the state, ain't for you.

When you decide to join revolutionary, you must know that, you have joined a war against the state, and individual criminals holding state hostage for their own selfish economic and political powers interests.

So expect fightbacks because the crooks hijacking the State will stop at nothing to crush you. Your life will be in danger from them, and death will not be far from you. You will be fought not only by well established, and highly equipped system, but also the most dangerous group claiming to be politicians, but actually are gangs armed with dangerous means both legally and illegally, that they will use against you to protect their turf (Interests) in the name of the state.

Hence, when you decide to join revolution or rebellion, your fear should not be death because by joining revolutionary war against the regime, you have signed for death. To kill, or to be killed.

Your fear should be the one closest to you – the one you break bread with, share cup of water, and secrets with. They're the ones who'll sell you out to the state for a quick buck or a power trip. They're your Judas Iscariot, just like Vice President, General Taban Deng Gai did to First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar in 2016.

As revolutionaries, your fear should not be the regime that you are fighting against, but the betrayers amongst you, joining hands with the enemy (regime) to stab you in the back every time you make progress. Like Honourable Minister Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth stabbed his own people and is prude in the killings of the Nuers for his own selfish political interests, just to get favour from President Salva Kiir.

Don't forget that In revolution, death is normal part of the cause, but it becomes painful when we are not been killed by the regime (enemies), but by our own comrades because it makes us loss trust and be disappointed amongst us, which becomes beginning of our setbacks in revolutionary progress, and success.

Today, most revolutions especially in South Sudan are not weakened by the regime, but by " fellow revolutionary comrades we broke bread with, we sweated with, we sip coffer with from the same cup, and those we trusted with our lives – they're the ones failing us in the Revolutionary cause.

Today, We're stuck fighting the regime because our own comrades have flipped, teamed up with the enemy, and stabbed us in the back – like the SPLM-IO splinter group led by the lunatic Stephen Phar, sold out the reform cause for personal gain.

Today, the revolution's stalled, not by the regime's strength, but because of those (our own comrades) who turned to hold us back, – to pull us down, and to destroy the Revolution's causes. Because of people like those of Lasuba Wango, and Agok Makur, It will take us long to defeat the regime, to change the system and even to have victory.

Therefore in revolution, don't fear the enemy you're facing – but the betrayers standing with you. They will be the cause of your death, defeat and failure. They are the very one that will give your enemies power for victory over you in revolutionary struggles.
