Gluke Fri May 22, 2009 5:11 amDear all
first of all, good to be back home here in Canada and it has been good to see
all of you crying out about our people's lives. I am very glad to see all of you
giving their opinion on this situation of Murle. However, the greater danger of
those opinion is that they are still harming our people.
My fellow Lou Nuer, Our people are in danger then-ever before. I personally been
in Lou Nuer areas such as Waat, Walgak, Langken/Lankien and Pathaay. I was there
and see myself how our people live, our people are living pear, and of course
killing by Murle is a dailly routine, it is sad indeed. Never before our people
do not know now what to do? wether to live in Lou or go somewhere else. I do not
want to go into details but it is heart-breaking. However, there are bad and
good news the Good news is we all understand their (Lou Nuer) situations their
dailly routine and the bad news is we are bringing politic into it. When I read
you guy's article, I was so shock to learn that we bring 1991 and Riek Machar in
to this situation. If you ever been back home after 2005 peace agreement, you
should have a very clear idea on how the thing works in Southern Sudan. We have
to be very careful when we bring back 1991 in to our current situation. When I
came back from South Sudan in August 2008, I said this "Jiath Loach" because our
people are fighting by themselves while we have our enemies fighting to us.
Now what I would prefer to say is that please, please leave the politic aside
and let us find the solution to help our peole. I myself discuse this issue with
some of Lou Nuer elders, intellectuals and Youth. Including uncle Yoal Dok, two
commissioners William Kuol Chuol of Nyirol and Gatluak Reath Kuil of Uror and
others Chiefs too. We talk about these kinds of politic alot because it seems
that politic is a key on and or it contributing in to Lou Nuer situations. I was
at the conference which took place in Bor from May 10-14, 2009 and the outcome
of the meeting was somehow ok but for us as Lou Nuer I will say no. I will not
going on into details about our discusion but please I want you to rethink if
you really like politic.
At the end, I am here to appeal to all of you that let us work hand by hand in
this problem. Not just only to collected money, but to be clear to the
Government of Southern Sudan and to our politicians. To tell them the truth that
they fail to protect our people. Look when Lou Nuer went to Murle the GOSS and
Jonglei State Gov't have provided Murle for whatever they can to help them. When
the same thing had happened in Akoba there was no word from GOSS or State Gov't.
I was there in Bor or Jonglei State. I did not see any response from both
Governments it was only John Jock Chuol who went there. Therefore, we (Lou Nuer)
have to work event hander to bring this situation an end. Please, let us rescue
our people not for talke-talke but for real action.
May almighty God help us and guide us to help those lives
