South Sudan Deserves Better

Quite heartening and mind boggling to realize that most dreams have been cut short in South Sudan. The acts of ethnic cleansing currently under-way in South Sudan is a shame in 21st century. While the two leaders (Notably, Salva Kiir and Riek Machar)'s families are having all the freebies gained from bloodshed, and enjoying peace in Kenya, they continue to subject the civilians to their selfish ambitions. They've made sure that a generation is passing without knowing the practical existence and true meaning of peace.

It's quite unfortunate that the world continues to watch this genocide, while sitting peacefully and allowing it to continue. A wise man and true leader will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. A close examination of the machinery of politics in South Sudan and its achievements so far, will return negative result in all forms. What has the history of war and the fight for independence of the South Sudan achieved? Nothing but failure and defeat, not even a single reform to ameliorate the economic and social stress of the people has been achieved so far. Yet the two protagonists are back to guerilla tactics, in the information age.

Of uttermost concern is the way the soldiers who live like paupers with no sense of perspective in life, continue to execute the orders of these men, making violent protest through the barrels of guns against the harmless and helpless population whose social and economic situations have made them soft spots for these cruel, heartless monstrous wild beasts, whose joy is to destroy life and bathe in blood.
