Below is my response to Wilson Mading Koc ,
This guy is from Twi east of Jonglei State and I don’t
understand why he ingenuously generalized the innocent citizen of Gogrial
State.
I will not dispute all you clearly revealed, but instruct
you to stop your generalization of people of Gogrial or any group in South
Sudan, you can say their names when you’re sure to be heard loud. I'm really flabbergasted
that future leaders of this beautiful nation wanted to destroy their names
struggling for today, and forget what come tomorrow. So, don’t just create a
box and irreproachably put people in, be careful.
Firstly, our generation is so much cursed and
consecrated/blessed at the same time, the war started when some of us still at
young age, grew up in war and got lucky to travelled far places as we both
know. We had time to walk together, agonized in groups and learn to speak
foreign languages; we didn’t hate each other that much.
Mading
koc,
This is
what you wrote, a political commentator popularly known as Isaiah Abraham was
assassinated on 5th Dec, 2012, by what many believe to have been presidential
protection units. This killing accelerated the already gone sour relations
between the President and Twi community.
My response,
With all due respect, the death of Diing Chan Awuol
traumatized many of us and the pain will never fade as I’m responding, he left
an open vacuum and inexhaustible nightmare. I personally shared some articles
with him in 2007-2009; we agree and disagree for the term of debate within
approachable manner.
After the death of Diing Chan Awuol:
Posted 10th February 2013 by Deng Madut Akech
Murdering not our culture,
Many people have
been murdered in a cold-blood in the past and there was no good reason to end
their life in such a vicious way. No courts have been set up to bring
perpetrators to book facing consequences and the warning to forfend this brutal
behaviour. If Diing was killed because he consecutively accused those who are
destroying our nation, this will turn against your family at a later date.
Diing Chan’s writing wasn’t a threat to anyone, but he
wanted to show us that these things are happening in our nation; he painted the
history of commentators and youths of our time. I thought South Sudanese took
arms for the liberation of our country, but pointed same guns at their own
citizens. How you feel when you slaughtered a son of you own?
The killing of a
friend Diing Chan Awuol was such a cruel way for those who had hands in it to
just cut his life short, those who got involved are murderous even today. I had
no intention to write at the minutes, but I feel the pain like his close family
because we both lost a hero who also took part in the struggle. Those who
killed him must spend the rest of their lives behind bars if the rule of law is
effective in South Sudan.
There was no significant follow up or operation done to
track down his killers, it made me worried indeed that our nation will not move
forward in term of protecting our own citizens. Some of you won’t believe that
we have laws in South Sudan, however to put them in practise is deceased.
Importantly, one has to blame the top chair about these
nonstop murdering targeting intellectuals and those who stood up to speak bad
things that is covering up the face of South Sudan. A number of Journalists
trapped in the same hole, when they were apprehended and presaged to give up
writing or will be kill.
My response,
Life is very bumpy currently in South Sudan and only God
knows how this chronic cancer of killing, will stop after we are in a world
without clever Technology. These
arresting or intimidating Journalists had continued to take more lives and
displaced a number of people, including my very close young man from my home
town, we both gotten it all.
Mading
Koc,
Mayen
Wol is self-claimed viceroy of Awan-Chan and those who cannot reach the
president can benefit from his loot of 400 million Dollars, banked at the
basement of his house. For all intent and purposes, Mayen, is a close relative
of the President and he is the Chief of Staff at the office of the President.
He is reportedly under house arrest for making the public know there is grand
corruption at the office of the President. He will be back to his office before
noon, at least most people agree on that.
My response,
I truly believed and come to an agreement with you that,
corruption had occurred in the office of the president, he knows it himself
that these two men are most corrupted men in his office. Currently, Mayen Wol
and Yel Luol are under house arrest. Not morally right if these men will be
allowed back to President’s office when they have done this great damaged in
our watch. A vehicle would fell off the
road, got fixed and back to the road, so I want to a sure you that these men
will not make it to the office. I want to inform you that Mayen Wol is not
related with the President, he is not from Awan as you erroneously said
above. Point of correction, you might
have mistakenly taken him instead of Yel Luol who is from Awan, be sure next
time.
Mading
Koc,
The
killing was a confirmation of what Twi has always suspected. Twi, has accepted
the President to use his powers in a way that suits his emotions and feelings,
he can isolate Twi, fire them as usual, deny them promotions or kill them if
and when he wishes, but he needs to know the same venom is coming back to the
people of Gogrial.
My response,
Your article is full of venom my friend as you personally
wishing your own Jieng citizens of Gogrial anything bad is coming to them,
swallow it brother, it will not give you any advantage. You’ll understand that the game of
generalising people will never work, it’ll not take us anywhere in South Sudan.
Mading
Koc,
dumped
for the likes of Tut Keu and Tor Deng Mawien, the duo who sold this country for
30 pieces of silver. THE TWO ARE POTENTIAL NCP SPHERE OF INFLUENCE in the
government of South Sudan and that says something Twi and all the liberators
are about the intentions of the President.
My response,
I will not be visionless to say anything or replying to your
statement above, it would have been good if those of Tor Deng Mawien and Tut
Keu read this and reply to you themselves.
Mading
koc,
Gogrial
is blameable because they seemed to enjoy the tribulation Twi is experiencing
under President Kiir’s leadership, if this was not the case, why is the Gogrial
spiritual leader Ambrose Riny Thiik and other elders in that region not
advising the president to change course on the way Twi is being treated.
My response,
Again, you strongly put the blamed on the people of Gogrial
and I didn’t understand why you arrived at this decision without proper
elucidation, when trees fall; we blame a squall or windy storm. To enlighten you more, don’t blame the people
of Gogrial, even innocent who are struggling to respire the air. I clearly want
you to say their names, but Gogrial will never belong to these people, Yel
Luol, Mayen Wol, Tor Deng Mawien and Riiny Thiik Madut.
Example, if I blame Mr X who comes from Ajuong and turn that
blame on people of Ajuong-land, do you think these people are part of the
circle? I should blame one person, not
putting a blame on the people of Nyopiny, Ayoliel, Kuac and Adiang section of
the whole Ajuong, [excuse my spelling].
Personally, I will never write an article to generalise the
Jieeng people of Twi East as South Sudanese become addicted to pointing hands
against innocent people, we must stop. Your blame was unjustly that you didn’t
prove to the readers and innocent people of Gogrial who have nothing to do with
the current government. Stop blaming
everyone else for things that never a fault of everyone, but some individual as
you had mentioned their names.
Mading
Koc,
If Twi
is being tormented because Garang comes from there, then what becomes of
Gogrial when Salva Kiir is done ruling? It should be a food for thought to few
brains in Gogrial if there are any.
My response,
Many of us left with physical pain, so don’t believed that
only Twi citizens are they one seeing this mental anguish, this is vague. My Uncle disappeared in 2014 when I visited
South Sudan, his body never been found to this period, do you think I’m not
from Gogrial you in discriminated?
I personally want us to be positive and work together as
youth of South Sudan, let just stand on our own ground and speak the voice of
peaceful nation.
Have a blessing day,
By Deng Madut Akech Akoon.
Thanks
Comrade Deng Madut Akec.
I have
received many responses on the article in question, there are those calling me
names and there those praising me. All these are expected when you chose to
relay the truth.I must however tell you that, i have no personnel grudge with
the President, in fact he knows me by name, and to point out critical issues,
must not be misconstrued to mean, one seeks change of regime. one complains
when he/she acknowledges the government of the day...to that effect my
uttermost respect to you and Gogrial people in general.
I
however, find it difficult to comprehend though how the President can easily
abandon the people of Twi, and expects them to
read from the same script with him, if you have no dispute regarding the
facts i have mentioned in my article, about a sustained discrimination of Twi
people in the government, then i believe different roads may lead to the same
castle and so,i wish you best of health wherever you are.
Regards
Wison
Mading Koc
