Major General Oyay Deng Ajak, You were a remarkable friend to my late uncle, Majak Solomon Deer Agok. I stand resolutely with you in our shared struggle for freedom. You and Thomas Cirilo are on the right path, having always aligned yourselves with justice and truth. It is essential for President Kiir to understand that those from Khartoum, under the regime of Omar al-Bashir, are not his allies-they are his adversaries. You and we are his true brothers. The advisors surrounding him offer no genuine insights; they lack compassion and integrity. Their sole concern is self-interest, willing to let South Sudan and Sudan suffer as long as they profit. Their misguided counsel has already led to the division of Sudan, and they threaten to repeat such failures. Rumbek stands united behind you. Your courage in challenging President Kiir is commendable, especially as he appears to have lost sight of the reasons for our 21-year struggle. His circle, many of whom have contributed to our pain, prioritize their own agendas over the nation's well-being and resist any meaningful change, viewing advocates for reform as threats. True freedom fighters remain in the bush, awakening to the injustices and brutality of the government. We face pressing challenges: a lack of clean water, inadequate educational facilities, and women giving birth at home due to insufficient medical care. Children wander the streets aimlessly, and thousands in Juba find themselves homeless. Our country is in turmoil: there is a glaring absence of infrastructure, no access to free education, and no government relief. Scarcity of emergency medical services and a faltering economy obstruct our progress. Instead of investing in our future, many squander resources on lavish lifestyles, seeking refuge in foreign lands while neglecting the needs of South Sudan. In upcoming peace negotiations, it is imperative to transfer national security responsibilities to your political party. This transition will safeguard all freedom fighters and civilians returning from the bush. The government’s control over national security has proven detrimental, leading to silent killings and the emergence of unknown gunmen targeting those who dare to speak out. This crucial responsibility should be in your hands, ensuring justice and fairness. Do not consent to any agreements that allow the government to manipulate security for its own ends. Arrests must be managed through civilian courts, not tribal courts, ensuring transparency and public trials. Additionally, the government should reduce the number of vice presidents to create a streamlined leadership structure. Prisons must be safe and humane, providing appropriate care for those who fight for freedom. Political prisoners should be released without delay, and the president must cease appointing ministers; authority must be restored to the people, enabling states to elect their own governors. Moreover, the president's unchecked power to dismiss ministers without proper hearings must be curtailed. His authority should be limited to 20%, allowing for greater accountability in government spending and decision-making. The security forces protecting the president should not function as a private army; instead, they should be overseen by a committee of governors, ensuring that they answer to the will of the people. Importantly, the president and his immediate family should reside in the Presidential Palace as a public house, meant solely for him, his wife, and their children. Extended family members, such as brothers, cousins, and other relatives, should not live there. President Kiir is a good man, but he must understand that his ascent to leadership was fueled by the support of ordinary citizens-those living in tree houses, those in the villages, those in the streets of Juba, and those who have lost loved ones to the war. It is their praise and support that brought him to power, not the wealthy elites who send their children abroad for education. The voices of those tending to cows, goats, and sheep-the true backbone of our society-are the ones that matter most. He should heed their advice, rather than those who have amassed wealth through questionable means. This disconnect has roots in the events of 2013, when reports were sent from various states to the government detailing the dire need for infrastructure, modernization, schools, clean drinking water, medical facilities, and factories. Unfortunately, these needs were manipulated by officials, who misled the president into believing that those advocating for improvements sought to undermine his power. This manipulation has had devastating consequences for our people. Additionally, President Kiir's son, who studies in Australia, is an intelligent young man with the potential to play a significant role in our nation's future. If the president is genuinely concerned about his legacy, he should consider appointing his son as an overseer of national and regional development. His insights could provide accurate information and innovative solutions, especially as he is well-respected among the youth, who are crucial to our nation’s progress. Together, we must champion a movement for change, ensuring that our infrastructure thrives, our children receive quality education, and everyone has access to healthcare. In Rumbek, we say, "This time, we won’t go to the bush; the government will go to the bush." United, we can build a brighter future, honoring the sacrifices of our past and laying the groundwork for a legacy of truth, reconciliation, and enduring peace for generations to come.
Gen . Oyay . Your smart and your nationalist and rich ideologically. They should give you space for you taking mental for building national unity and reconciliation. You gave so imperative example of Rwanda. was strong visionary leaders and strong ruling ideology. watching from Rwanda. .
These are the people that are supposed to rule this phenomenal country. Oyai Deng ajak is nationalist. He was built by Dr John garang de mabior knowing that he can work diligently for the people of South Sudan
It l?looked like a a nonsense to you to come looked the country money then you run back to Adis Aba ba ,tho😢are nonsense you want to come and loot the country resources, while refusing it.
