This include Dinkas under attack in rebel occupied places and other tribes which we sadly forget to respectfully mention in this Dinka/ Nuer narrative of the conflict.(…) Read More

BACKGROUND OF THE ABORTED COUP d’état

“Genocide is… both the gravest and the greatest of the crimes against humanity” Alex Destexhe

On 15 December 2013, the Dinka dictator Slava Kiir Mayardit shocked the world by announcing that there was an attempted failed coup d’état in which Slava Kiir alleged that it was staged by the former VP Dr. Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon, one of the most prominent and outstanding British educated Nuer Mechanical/Architectural Engineer, PC Management System and the former lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering/Architecture at his Alma Mata, The University of Khartoum, one of the best SPLM/A field commanders, articulate, talented, the best and the brightest or la crème de la crème with higher spirits vs. the mediocre minds that are often afraid of the higher spirits, one of the political and democratic leaders of our times, educator, politician, scientist, philosopher and fourteen (14) other senior members of the SPLM Political Bureau (PB) as the ruling party.(…) More

Still Waiting for the Bonanza: The Oil Business in South Sudan after 2005

South Sudan’s oil supplies remain susceptible to local mismanagement, corruption and competition. For Leben Nelson Moro, Juba’s plight demonstrates that having energy resources doesn’t always guarantee a country’s power or enhance its security.

South Sudan: Riek Machar and the prophet’s rod

Martin Plaut (05-03-2014),

March 11, 2014(Nyamilepedia),

machar-with-dangSymbols are always important in conflicts and South Sudan is no exception. The symbol in the conflict now raging between Salva Kiir and Riek Machar is the rod (or ‘dang’) of the prophet Ngundeng Bong, the most famous of the Nuer prophets, who lived more than a century ago.

The words of all prophets are open to interpretation. Ngundeng was himself bearded (unusual for Nuer at the time) and left-handed, so contemporary references to bearded and left-handed men were to himself.(…) More

In this discussion, I will try to give background to the best of my knowledge,, this time around, on the ruling Party, the Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM); how it has been operating from the time it was launched in November (2005) as a registered political party in the Sudan, until the eruption of the ongoing destructive war (2013); a war which if not brought to a speedy end, may erase the new country out of the map of the world.(…) More

February 22, 2014[Nyamilepedia] — Since the formation of the Government of South Sudan (GOSS) in September 2005, following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in January 2005, by both the SPLM and the Government of Sudan (GOS), in Nairobi, Kenya, President Salva Kiir had never taken his newly appointed Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny seriously at any rate. He kept on reminding him of 1991 splits, which occurred within the SPLM/A ranks between Dr. Riek Machar & Dr. John Garang. The death of Dr. John Garang had indeed played crucial roles in these on-going messes in South Sudan. Such scornful humiliations against Dr. Riek Machar would have not arise if he (Garang) were to be alive today because he fully knew the past mistakes, which orchestrated the two splits under his leadership in 1983 and again in1991 respectively. The death tools in these two rebellions were enormous indeed as well as the displacement of civilians and destruction of their properties.(…) More

Melting Of Traditional Glue: Homage To Killed Chiefs Of Unity State

 By Machien Luoi

February 11, 2014(Nyamilepedia) –South Sudan traditional authorities (Chiefs, Kings and Queens) are an embodiment of peace and stability at the grass-roots. They are the glue that connects our citizens to the government and augurs ‘people –to- people’ relations across ethnic folds. Although artificially created by British colonial rule, institution of traditional authorities has served our people positively. Traditional leaders have been the bedrock for which our resistance against colonial powers and opposition against the Sudanese-Arab state were anchored. It is unfortunate that during peace, which they struggled to achieve, they are chucked aside and forgotten. It is sad that in crisis such as the ongoing one in our country, they are murdered in cold blood without any remorse.(…) More

February 7, 2014 (Nyamilepedia) — On December 15th 2013, the world woke up to the news of a supposedly “coup” in the worlds youngest nation. Violence immediately broke out in Juba and thousands of civilians; men, women and children were put to the sword. While western nations were sending in choppers and airplanes to get their nationals out of Juba, political influences deemed by the government to be in opposition were quickly hunted, surrounded and put under house arrest. Civilians, in hundreds of thousands  run for cover at the UN headquarters and in camps. Others, angry at the death of their family and relatives, sought refuge in the bushes and created a rebel movement. Since then, the situation has gotten worse, especially for those in camps, the living conditions there are inhumane, politically, countries like Uganda has picked to side with the President and the peace process seems far from over. We recently sat down with one of the most popular sons of South Sudan, a former child soldier during the liberation and now an international hip hop artist and activist Emmanuel Jal for a run down on what is happening. He had the following to say(…) More

South Sudan: it all began so well!

Vested interests override democracy

The sudden conflict in South Sudan isn’t essentially tribal, but the result of clever economic pressure from Khartoum on South Sudan’s president, who is desperate to hold on to power.

By Gérard Prunier
RiekKiirsoldierchild The civil conflict in South Sudan began with gunfire at the headquarters of the presidential guard in the capital, Juba, on 15 December 2013. President Salva Kiir claimed that the former vice-president, Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon, dismissed in July, had attempted a coup. Machar, whose bodyguards died protecting him, claimed the shooting was the result of the president’s attempt to get rid of the opposition.

US Assistant Secretary for Africa Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on 9 January: “We have not seen any evidence that this was a coup attempt.” Machar confirmed this, adding: “I had to flee in my pyjamas.” Clashes between his supporters and the army have continued.(…)More

Sending of Ugandan troops to South Sudan was an “invasion”

Posted on January 26, 2014 by Editorial Team

The sending of Ugandan troops to South Sudan was seen by the people of South Sudan as an “invasion”. In the second and last part of his interview with Madam Rebecca Garang de Mabior, widow of Dr John Garang who is often referred to by many as the Mother of the Nation, our EditorHenry Gombya asked her what she thought about the presence of Ugandan troops in South Sudan and whether there was any truth in the allegations that former Vice President Riek Machar had tried to stage a military coup. Here is what she had to say:

Rebecca_Garang-4-fedf8
‘Mother of the Nation’ Rebecca: ” President Salva Kiir has been talking about coups, about coups, ….”

Henry Gombya: Is there any truth whatsoever that former Vice President Riek Machar attempted a military coup in your country?

Rebecca Garang: There was nothing called a military coup. There was no military coup. Since Dr John [Garang] died, President Salva Kiir has been talking about coups, about coups, about coups. Nobody staged a coup because we are politicians. Those groups that were arrested are politicians, are civilians but [while] they were army people before, they are politicians and civilians.(…) More

In an exclusive interview, Madam Rebecca Nyandeng Garang de Mabior has told The London Evening Post how the current crisis in South Sudan that has claimed an estimated 10,000 people and left many injured and homeless started and who took the first shots that led to the total destruction of Dr Riek Machar’s house and the killing of his brother and 34 Nuer soldiers who were guarding his house. Because of the importance of this story, we have decided to post it verbatim as Mrs Garang has told it to our editor Dr Henry Gombya.

 Henry Gombya (The London Evening Post):Thank you very much for agreeing to have an interview with us. My first question is, we would like you to tell our readers what you know is going on between President Salva Kiir and former Vice President Dr Riek Machar.

Rebecca Garang: Thank you for having me. You know what happened in South Sudan is something that is really bad and taking back the peoples of southern Sudan to war. This was something that happened on the 15th of last month but it had started earlier with some issues which were not being talked about in the party; democracy was not in the party. So some of our members were saying that we needed to reform the party documents and in the party too because there was no freedom of speech, and no freedom of press; a lot of things. (…) More

During the SPLM Convention of 2008, when there was an overheated tension among the senior party members for who to hold which position in the party, there was a Nuer businessman who warned the convention wisely. He asked the convened crowd in the hall that “If the groom wants to cause a conflict in his wedding ceremony, would he blame the people who take part in the fighting?” The answer was no to everyone in the meeting hall. He meant it on the then Vice President of the Republic of Sudan and the President of the government of Southern Sudan; Gen. Salva Kiir, who wanted to instigate the conflict while he was the one in power.(…) More
