Why does GoSS sponsor students abroad and leave local universities unprepared?

By Ariik-Dut Atekdit

It has been a long silence since last year that all southern Sudan universities closed down because of referendum. During those days everybody was filled with the referendum spirit of patriotism and an interest to vote for separation. So with no doubt all the students in southern universities accept to go for referendum and come for education maybe after separation results. Of course South Sudan is registered with five national universities of Juba, Upper Nile, Bahr el Ghazal, Rumbek and John Garang University of science and technology.

These universities have not been operational since the time of referendum for reasons best known to Government of South Sudan (GoSS) ministry of Higher education. The five institutions in the new nation are the only existing government departments for human knowledge expansion in higher education and of course they have been on deferment for about five or more months since last year. The GoSS ministry responsible for the universities has been from time to time pushing the regional universities calendars from unknown date to other unpredictable dates ahead of nowhere causing a lot of irregularities. This of course has confused a number of students across the newly born nation as all but none is kept in dilemma. So what is the problem here? We voted for our new nation and we better continue with our education or we shall not be productive.

Rumors say that the ministry of higher education is caught unprepared to welcome faculties with students which used to operate in the north with what they term to be lack of accommodations. However, I can not really agree with that cheap reason put forward by the concerned bodies if it is alleged that way. Repatriating south Sudanese universities from the north to their original places was a decision of long time ago since the formation of GoSS; tongues in Juba have never stopped speaking on this fact. And so everybody knew very well that South Sudan universities would be transferred to their original places in the South even though the country would remain united. This is a simple fact I want to underline. So whether caught unprepared or not everybody knew about it.

I blame GoSS for not constructing any university buildings until now. Building the universities’ infrastructures whether being in Juba, Wau, Malakal or elsewhere would be better if it was done earlier. But I just wonder why our leaders always keep things late until the darkest hours.

The ministry itself is to be blamed of not making possible measures during these five months to build some infrastructures to accommodate the repatriated faculties and students. I would like our leaders to sit down and draw plans and straighten framework that will help these talented students in their quest for education. If it is not done this way, then there is no reason of saying that people want to eliminate illiteracy. It will be purely a support to unwanted illiteracy in the region. Suspending five universities of hundreds of thousands students will not be a wise idea at all.

Whatsoever the case maybe; my question remains: Why does GoSS sponsor students abroad and leave local universities unprepared? This question desires an answer. It is not fair that other hundreds of thousands of students are cheerfully pursuing their various professions in the neighbouring countries under GoSS sponsorship while it is difficult for the same GoSS to build lecture halls or hire lecturers to teach in the South. If the Government in Juba wants to suspend our studies in the south then we want the GoSS abroad-sponsored-students to hold on until the government is ready to build our universities or sponsor all of us if that would be better. I think it is much better and cheaper to widen the standard of our local universities and their infrastructures instead of depending on foreign learning for ages that does not work. It is just a waste of large amount of national resources. It is not wise at all for a country like South Sudan to depend on the neighbouring countries for everything like to say food, other goods including education.

Since January I have not seen any new building being raised in Upper Nile University Malakal campus and yet the ministry says they are working to set up infrastructures for the southern universities; if this situation is the same every where subsequently the future of our students and their universities is at its critical point.

We have seen that children of GoSS officials are not studying in South Sudan. Their children are sent to abroad to search for better education leaving us here in this unsolved situation with numbering conditions. We have so far learnt that our government officials don’t want to improve better education in the south because GoSS sponsor their children abroad. This is not patriotism at all and we need to evaluate our love for the nation more than sticking on the continuous selfishness that has erased ideas of unity and development in our big people’s brains.

Once again it’s not time for us to waste money by offering scholarship in foreign countries. The money that is supposed to be used for the aforementioned foreign scholarship should be used for expanding, renovating and constructing South Sudan universities, in order to accommodate the huge influx of returnee students from North Sudan.

Love is quiet and tender

With the experience we have gone through, love can fit to be defined with words like quietness, softness and tenderness. Words that have special good actions towards people we are sharing life. Love is a light that allows people to see things that are not seen by others.

While romantic love in special way is a deep emotional, sexual and spiritual recognition and regard for the value of another person and relationship. Romantic love can generate many powerful feelings. It can provide a profound ecstasy, and a deep suffering when frustrated. To some people, romantic love is irrational. Romantic love can seem like an emotional storm.

In our last valentine celebrations many young people were seen moving gently on our poor roads and the small towns we have in South Sudan. You could see that their faces showed peace and they showed handling and care. And almost everybody felt high moving together hand in hand with a boyfriend/girlfriend.

To some people who stayed far away from their beloved ones, they talked over phones on long period subscriptions discussing love and their future. It is observed that it is rather easy to explain how much you love some one than showing it in action. With love descriptions we feel: Someone we love enters the room. Our eyes and heart light up. We look at this person. We feel a growing feeling of joy within us. We reach out and touch their hand. We feel happy and fulfilled.
I believe we all have a profound need to find things in the world we care about and feel inspired by.

Life is worthwhile - at any age - when we find something worth pursuing. In loving you, I see in you a part of me that is also you... I also see in you something that is really me. And there is you, a person of many qualities-- a person who is a mystery-- a person I am drawn to.

All life - by its very nature - entails a possibility of defeat. Because of this, we find pleasure and reassurance in the expression of life. Sharing our life and participating in life is reassuring that life is possible. Romantic love is an intense sharing and reassurance that life is possible
Sometimes lovers try to describe person’s body to prove that he/she love them so much. But does love remains strong in place even after marriage? My married and experienced colleague told me that most promises made by lovers when young never come true when they are married. But the questions remain, why? Where does love go to after marriage?
Before going further, I should talk about the institution of marriage. One kind of marriage is the utilitarian marriage. In this type of marriage there is an absence of mutual involvement or passion. This type of marriage is usually held together by social, financial or family considerations. In a utilitarian marriage the relationship is made tolerable by long separations, community activities and usually infidelity.

The other kind of a marriage is the intrinsic marriage. In this type of marriage there is passionate emotional and sexual involvement. The experience of life is shared. The relationship is considered more fulfilling and interesting than any social activity. In this relationship there is a tendency to avoid activities resulting in separations.

Marriage itself does not create or sustain romantic love. To love someone, and for that love to endure, requires the ability to see that person with clarity. For example, we have all seen how some people will romanticize or glamorize their partners.

Although you enjoyed last valentine day with your girl/boyfriend you still have a lot to do. Fascination, attraction, or passion may be born "at first sight". But love requires curiosity, patience, acceptance and seeing people for who they truly are. This usually takes time.

Romantic love is based on shared sight and is shaped by happiness. Immature love is based on shared blindness, and is merely a fortress against pain. We better look for love which is quiet and tender.

My Stolen Love on forced marriage

By Ariik-Dut Atekdit
ariqdudic@yahoo.com

I thought I was close to being a perfect boyfriend. I was charming, funny, very generous, expressed feelings of love to her... Then recently because of my absence she decided to leave me - I was too nice. But only just I heard a different story that my girlfriend is married by another man. And now I must begin to hate the culture that forces girls to get married to men they really don’t love. I have several times heard my colleagues or age mates screaming just because their beloved ones have been forced to own different men because of big dowry they do pay to parents. I thought I would not come across such a story but it was until recently that it has been inevitable.

Love for girls these days is only considered unless you stay near them but if you happened to go far away from them then they must be taken over by other men. It’s truly confusing and this generation is going crazy with love affairs. I really see no success in it unless something is done. I didn’t know that this thing would happen. But because I have announced to follow my studies for a better future she defects my love. She got married while I am still pursuing my education. She knew about my school and she pledged to wait for me under any circumstances but things came out of her control. She couldn’t make it because a man paid a lot of cows and abducted her without any agreement.

I was left with nothing but memories. I could recall greetings from her soft and peaceful hands, her voice which sounded sweet, and her eyes which were so bright and straight although she couldn’t look direct into my eyes. She could turn down her face with what I shall describe as a smiling “glance”. We remained quiet, calm and mandated only to our love affairs.

I was attracted to her appearance and structure and my eyes would love only to look at her. The way she expressed herself when talking with me indicated that the girl was responsible and respectful I could suggest. When she looked into my eyes, she could pronounce “I luv u darling”. And for these cause I declared with her factual acceptance that she would be the mother of my kids. However, with this love which easily bases on materials no girl will be counted for one person.

We were almost to forget our names because we used to call each other “darling” or “sweet heart” as if our parents did not give us any names. I am sure our love would grow bigger and huge if her parents and that wrong man allowed her for me. We always shook hands in smiles and cheers; no hatred but love in surroundings. I thought that my love is big for her and she had enough only for me. I can’t blame her but the culture that imposes marriage on girls to marry men they don’t like. I am in actual fact sorry to denounce that Dinka culture which doesn’t give some more rights to girls but only looks into wealth first. Marriages should base on the mutual love of two couples. I think girls should be given rights to choose or reject men.

It may be easy to look around our world today and see the appearance of chaos, difficulty and strife. We better take examples from olden stories, divorce has become now an everyday event just because the couples don’t marry themselves base on true love but just on wealth and family backgrounds. Where will others marry? Yet, when we come from an open heart, we can also see our opportunity to love all things into balance, joy, harmony and peace. This planet does not need more visions of desperation, fear, doubt and hate - it requires an abundance of love, especially unconditional love, to heal and restore the beauty contained in every moment. This becomes the easier path once we take the first step and begin to share our love.

When we bring unconditional love back into our personal, professional, community and family lives, we begin the journey of restoring wholeness and happiness to our planetary adventure. Of course it takes determined effort on our part as the old ways of being are quick to return in our mind. However, this effort to love is rewarded with a new perspective on everything and all life benefits as a result.

In a forced marriage you are coerced into marrying someone against your will. You may be physically threatened or emotionally blackmailed to do so. It is an abuse of human rights and cannot be justified on any religious or cultural basis. It’s not the same as an arranged marriage where you have a choice as to whether to accept the arrangement or not. The tradition of arranged marriages has operated successfully within many communities and countries for a very long time, this should be adopted by all otherwise girls are married to wrong husbands and vice versa.

When I felt sorry of what had happened to me and my girlfriend, somebody advised me that I would get another girl maybe better than the lost one. But who knows? I only liked to see the movements of her two lips when talking. Because as she opened her lips up and down while pronouncing her sweet words to me. Her white bright teeth would satisfactorily appear charmingly giving me no more time to stare at them but unless she offered her diplomatic smile. Of course between her two lips are those well-planted and structured bright teeth of my deep heart interest and desire. And to tell you the truth I had no eyes to admire other girls by then. To me she was appearing like just an angel of life. Her dress of course appeared different and special. Her eyes too, were so welcoming and I really loved that. The hope that I only had was to plan to make her the mum and I the dad to our dear future children. Her mouth was so nice, her eyes so white and encouraging. I felt from inside my chest that she was really well-structured by the creator.

I suggest girls should not be forced to marry those they don’t like neither will men be allowed to pay more cows to buy love from the bride’s parents. South Sudan must find a law for that. The parents of girls should consider the right and choice of their daughters as they wait for us to complete our studies and come to marry their girls. As I finish this article I must think and try to find another girl who my heart may desire. It is a homework I must do but I feel so disturbed for the stolen love.

George Athor should not be the right leader for the rebels’ coalition in the bush

By Ariik-Dut Atekdit


These days, rumors have filled ears of anyone of us in the Sudan about internal rebellions against the SPLM led leadership in South Sudan. Most of the Southerners who have grown the spirit of patriotism and nationalism in the failed olden Islamic Sudan of no human rights and freedom were only hoping to celebrate for independence of South Sudan in July 9 2011 and then access their true feelings of becoming first class and valued citizens in the African South Sudan as a free nation.

However, a Dinka who is a Christian by faith, General George Athor Deng, an ex- rebel who fought against Khartoum for two decades under the umbrella of SPLM objectives has opted to take arms with claims of last year elections being rigged when he independently contested for gubernatorial post in the largest state of Jonglei. Another Dinka who is a muslim by faith and had lived a militia life for so many years under Khartoum leadership and a recent GoSS President’s Advisor, Mr. Abdel Baghi Ayii has also decided to rebelled against the South to pursue the rights of his fellow Muslim brothers in the region and to claim for them thirty per cent power sharing in the coming cabinet of the Republic of South Sudan (RoSS) by force.

Gatlwak Gai who hails from Unity state with ethnicity of Nuer community, the second largest ethnic group in the South, felt sympathy in Angelina Teny and rebelled against the government to fight for the claimed rigging votes of Angelina Teny, the true wife of GoSS deputy leader. With the election unhappiness we have David Yauyau of Murlei who also rebelled against Jonglei for not allowing him to win in his geographical constituency for the GoSS parliamentarian post.

The list is growing very fast and long and therefore we have a Nuer militiaman, Mr. Bapiny Monituel with a tribal objective rebellion, because he believed that he can not stay in the Dinka dominated SPLA and its Government. That was why he decided to join Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) of Khartoum based Islamic Government during the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) period. Again, the SPLA Divisional deputy commander for Northern Bahr Ghazal, Mr. Peter Gatdet from Nuer community has now joined his colleagues because he is cultured to militia kind of military since long time ago and therefore he can not manage to stay in an organized army in the South.

Though Peter Gatdet had been a field faithful commander to Paulino Matip who had been a prime and powerful militia leader who waged a badly war that had killed most of his tribesmen, the Nuer more than any other ethnic group in the south. Gatdet has decided to leave his leader Mr. Paulino Matip because Matip has a big position in an organized army of SPLA. Matip being a deputy commander in chief and aged with an illness had no option to betray the independence of South Sudan. Another militia commander so far known only by the name Olony comes from Shilluk ethnic group. Shilluk is the only strong existing kingdom in the Sudan situated along the While Nile River. His rebellion is claiming the land of Shilluk Kingdom occupied by other communities rather than Shilluk, especially the neighbouring Dinka.

Romuors have said that rebels wanted to form a coalition under one leadership and General George Athor wants to take over the position just because he is greed of leadership. I don’t think that George Athor is the right leader for the rebels’ coalition in the bush. First of all, the reasons of rebellions of all the rebelled generals have no similarities from commander to commander. And I really wonder whether Mr. George Athor would assume to rule their movement in the bush with solitary possible and united objectives. In the recent days Athor was trying to scare the public and glorify himself by saying that he would unite all the rebels under one rebels’ coalition and named it to be: SOUTHERN SUDAN DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT and that its military wing is: Southern Sudan Army.

My doubt is whether Abdel Baghi Ayii shall join this coalition because the majority in the new movement will be Christians and animists and automatically the rights of few Muslims will be buried by the majority, his thirty percent may not come up or be accepted by the committed Christian Mr. George whose ceasefire agreement before referendum with the SPLA was witnessed, negotiated and blessed by two Bishops Daniel Deng Bull and Rudolf Deng Majak both the bishops of Episcopal Church and Roman catholic respectively.

Athor will not qualify to bring another militia Commander Mr. Olony from Shilluk ethnic group to his leadership because Olony’s war claims Shilluk land which is occupied by Dinka. To make things worse the home County of Athor which is currently called Pigi is claimed by Shilluk saying that even the word Pigi exists only in Shilluk language rather than Dinka. This reason can not let Olony join the leadership, should he join then his aims of rebellion shall have been lost.

Well, may be the rebels against the last year elections results may come under one leadership but how can they make it? Gatlwak who stays in Unity state can not cross to Jonglei state to join his leader George Athor nor will David Yauyau make it possible to come to George in the northern counties of Jonglei. These are leaders of similar grievances but in different and far geographical areas. If Athor captures a town for instance neither Gatlwak nor Yauyau can celebrate with Athor because the distance and the presence of SPLA army in the middle can’t allow them.

Bapiny Monituel can not agree another Dinka to rule him in the bush because he truly rebelled against Dinka leadership so it will be useless to accept the formation of Southern Sudan Democratic Movement under Mr. Dinka George Athor or Mr. Abdel Baghi Ayii for instance.

Even Peter Gatdet will not like to switch from SPLA Dinka led and Dinka dominated army to join another Dinka leadership of Athor. I don’t think that Nuer militia commanders will forgive Athor for killing over 200 innocent civilians in Fangak County which is mostly inhabited by Nuer tribesmen. Therefore, Athor can’t just celebrate the huge presence of militias in the bush. Some may turn against him and all of them can not succeed their Khartoum supported war against the separated country of South Sudan which is full of resources.

So to my fellow southerners who voted overwhelming for separation, the country you voted for will soon celebrate its independence as scheduled by the CPA with all your expectations. You should not be scared by power greed and bribed generals. They will wrestle in the bush for a while and shall soon be back. They want only to benefit from our money which was taken by Khartoum mandukuros (Arabs).

The war that Southerners fought was for liberation, but the current atrocities are just a joking of human life, innocent kids, women and elderly people. Jalaba wants to return us to tribal clashes and square one. However, we as southerners shall remain united forever no more breaking. However, George Athor is not qualified to lead the rebels’ coalition in the bush it will terribly fall out of his hands and our votes for independence shall win.

Shame on Warrap’s Governor Not to Rescue University Students in Malakal!

By Ariik-Dut Atekdit


The heavy and dangerous attack on Malakal town was terrible for students of Upper Nile University. The clashes of Malakal which broke out on 12 March at four o’clock in the morning were fought heavily at students’ hostel in the town. That morning beds were on us. Everybody screened himself under bed. We were troubled, frustrated and infuriated by the appalling attack. Infact everybody was convinced that he was going to die after a short while. The big guns could shake our roofs. Of course nobody could think of escaping that awful attack at that particular instance. Death was around everyone. Far and wide was dangerous and all of us were at risk of losing our precious and God given souls.

The militia entered into the town of fragile security; and masked themselves just around the poor fence of our hostel compound in a huge deep trench of waterway. The first gunshots found students trying to open their books to revise for examinations which were due in the morning. But Malakal was fired everywhere. We swiftly jumped under our beds and remained there for about five solid hours in a gigantic stillness waiting for nothing but death. Thank God SPLA soldiers and policemen rescued us, no students was harmed. They fought the attackers seriously, killing some and dislodged all of them out of the trench. The worst was that we were in the center of the battle between the two warring forces. However, God heard our prayers in silence and took care of our souls. The crossfire that entered our rooms anyhow from all directions made us terrified and we couldn’t count life beyond one second’s time. It was terrible!! Death was expected to come after each breath.

Right after the chase of the attackers, life in Malakal was bad and everybody was calling home for rescue. The university was closed until further notice and the security at apprehensive. Living in Malakal was of no use, so we called Her Excellency Miss Nyandeng Malek Deliec, the Governor of Warrap state to provide us a plane back home. We wanted a quick and urgent possible assistance from our dear governor to move us out of danger in Malakal. But did she respond to us positively? She told us that we called her at wrong time. And we were at kind of confusion. We were not the attackers nor were we accountable for closing down the university. We could not wait for right time to call our Governor Nyandeng, for we just want her to save our lives because our families could not make it. Did we know the right time to call our governor??


There were no planes and roads to take us to Warrap state or Juba the capital of South Sudan. We were almost to drop tears when we heard and saw quick positive responses from the rest of the states of South Sudan when transporting their students to their respective home states. The rest of the governors were so much concerned and sensitive to set their children out of danger.

Our governor refused to address our request. The only shameful thing she did was talking over Miraya FM about students’ situation in Malakal and she could not bring in the how to solve it. This was a simple propaganda none of the governors did though they were sure of helping their students. We were at shock whether our governor was working as a radio reporter for the UNMIS funded radio of Miraya FM or did she resign from the position of Governorship we elected her to. Otherwise there was no reason for her to report when she was not ready to lend a hand over our situation. Governors from the rest of the states of South Sudan sent flights or cash to transport their students for safety while our governor Madam Nyandeng Malek was still reporting for nothing in the studio. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. It is believed that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.


It is a big shame for a governor like Nyandeng Malek not to attend the assistance of fifty university students. If they had died, Nyandeng could be blame equally with the militia who attacked the town. The fifty students are of full-size development in Warrap state if they are taken care. Madam Nyandeng should learn that students are not enemies to her government. I just don’t know what she is doing with the money in the state? Since she seized power we had seen no new building in Kwajok or any other town in the state.

Warrap students who survived at Malakal clashes shall have no peace with the governor at all. We thought that Nyandeng would be the best governor in the South because she is a woman; and women are well-known of caring for people’s lives but the case is the opposite with our governor.

We never know that the governor of our own votes would be the very one to turn down our request for help when we really need it. The simple question is: who does the governor think will transport us if she has rejected our request? Nyandeng acts like she did not participate in war of freedom during the last two decades. That’s why she doesn’t know the important of life and at the same time she never knows that students are the only hope for South Sudan to change its shape to the better one. We know very well that Governor Nyandeng is our leader (Beny) with all the respect due to her. However, she should know that it is not what you are called, but what you are answer to that one proves to be true “Beny”. There will be no need to continue honoring “Beny” who turns out her eyes when we are in danger.

Most of the students are the heroes of the peace she is enjoying now in the state. They fought for the freedom of the entire citizens of South Sudan during the past 21 years and they are now again studying to get a better knowledge to develop the region but Nyandeng doesn’t care them. What a shame! Anyway she can not delete our patriotism in our deep hearts. We shall make sure that leaders of this kind never come up again in the history of leadership in Warrap state. The only bad and common character found with our people in Warrap state is; they forget that they came to power to serve the citizens not themselves.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. We had no option so we called Warrap’s minister of education Mr. Madhel Malek. The reply was nothing but the same. Madhel said he would transfer our request to the Government of South Sudan. But why? The rest of the states have made it without bringing in GoSS. Surprisingly, our minister was inquiring us to give him the phone numbers of the GoSS minister of education or the one of the undersecretary. Mr. Madhel doesn’t have the phone number of his senior employers in Juba! Imagine! Warrap state is under a confused government with the perplexed assembly. How does the Minister think that we the students shall be the one to find for him the phone numbers of his colleagues at GoSS?

We remained in a hazardous and dreadful hostel smelling dead bodies for three days, eating nothing but soaked dry bread in dirty water and eat it for survival. No movements and no shops operating in the town and the puzzled legislative assembly can not come to our assistance. They too have forgotten that we elected them to parliament as our representatives.

But what do they do with state’s money? Whether being a member for executive or legislative organ in Warrap government they never work for the well-being of the entire citizens of the state. They use money for their own desires and self interests. They don’t even build themselves good offices or houses in Kwajok the state headquarters. We were mistaken to ask them for help. And from now on they should know that they are wrong persons mistakenly brought to power by blind citizens. Next time we shall think wisely and bring in he/she who will serve for the better being of our beautiful state and its entire citizens.

On those brownish dusty roads of Kwajok, they drive their luxurious cars in the morning sitting in nothing but under steel containers which they assume as offices. You will never believe me to tell you that the office of my governor is just a container and her ministers are under trees or rekuba (tukuls). Alas! One doesn’t know what to say but the situation of Warrap state is never improved. I didn’t know that an elected governor would act like the previous ones.

Anyway the governor with her members of parliament and the council of ministers have right not to help us because their children are not studying in the South. They have sent their children to east African countries and beyond for better studies, living us here to trace education in hardships and sufferings. The money they steal for their children would make better schools in Warrap state if it were well used. They are training their children abroad to come and take the same positions when their fathers and mothers get retired or resigned.

It is shame on Warrap governor not to rescue fifty university students in badly disturbed situation in Malakal where they have nothing to eat and sleep after the closure of the university because of clashes in the town. We can not re-elect Nyandeng to any position if she doesn’t change her character of denial. In the end, we will remember not the attack of our enemies, but the silence of our government. All we wanted was a transport back to our home state of Warrap.

North Sudan will be A Failed State as Soon as the South Separates

Northerners of Khartoum these days are mostly involved in fabricating wrong ideas to announce to the world that the black South Sudan state will be the next burden on the world if it secedes from the north, saying that many crises shall occur in South Sudan if separation wins the votes. Khartoumers and especially the important figures in the Islamic leadership want to disgrace our choice for separation after they had failed to make unity win the 2011, 9th January votes.



The Arabs of Khartoum have stayed with us for so many years since their arrival to Sudan; we showed them our trust and hospitality. We welcomed them from the deep of our hearts but they refused to understand us. They thought we were coward or stupid to let them settle in our country, the Sudan. They called us slaves; they called us animals or kufaar. They damaged the history of our country and they seriously overlooked us in the human society. But we believe that we are true human beings.



These guys in Khartoum took the first chance to forged the leadership in Sudan and put themselves above everybody. They forged the history and the past unity of the country. They killed us and forced us to remain with them whether we want or not. They thought their cheatings and tricks would continue but CPA has brought everything to an end, yet they want to intimidate our votes for separation telling it to the world that South Sudan will be a failed state. He who is born a fool is never cured. They are more than a fool.



Of course, to tell the truth North Sudan as a new country on the planet earth shall be a complete and a total failed state the world will ever witness. North Sudan will be a country of no vision, composed of wrong leaders which have no good intentions for human lives. The leaders of that country have nothing called patriotic. They are all of self interests. The leaders of North Sudan as a new country don’t really know who they are. They run after being Arabs and Muslims but they have no proper position as leaders in their own leaderships. They are just blown by winds. Their direction is nowhere. And of course they have no any simple explanation of why they want to lead and why do they want to unite the country.

Most of the political parties in the North pretend to be Islamists but of course they carry prophecy of killings and destructions. How do you expect success from a state which believes in destroying human society; an act which is against human rights on the planet we all hail! North Sudan shall be a failed state because up to date Darfur which is part of the North suffers Africans cleansing. So do northerners think that campaigning for genocide in Darfur will make their state successful? A nation which is ruled by centralists and marginalized the rest of the regions is already a failed nation. People of eastern Sudan and in the far North are neglected and the West is under serious daily crises of security of all kinds. Northerners need to care their own country and leave us alone to go. Their parties are visionless but only led by merely sheikhs that can conduct Muslim prayers. They are not national leaders but mosque sheikhs.



North Sudan will be a failed state because the leaders have no any consensus up to now among themselves. That means they are not ready to make a country of their own. Will the next state still be ruled by force as we had undergone so far? The north of these days is in the separation fever. Their worries base on shortage of resources if south Sudan separates. The barren Saharan State has no any substitutes in the place of all the going resources of South Sudan. So we in the south are 100% sure that the north shall face a total deterioration on the continent. Their political situation is controlled by hatred and wars while their economic position shall soon drop to permanent and unsolvable crises. Their relationship with the rest of the world has reduced to zero level. And in fact Khartoum suffers economic sanctions from US administration. Why do northerners fail to read and understand their own situations? A country whose leaders commit international crimes will fail. So I want to tell the readers of Khartoum Monitor that the North, will absolutely be a failed state after the South Sudan secession.
