Lowering the Sudanese Flag in Juba..
For many people, it was an confusing occasion..
For many people, it was an confusing occasion..
Between the false wishes of prosperous tomorrow, and bitter pains of yesterday..
True: Many in the Northern Sudan curse, humiliate or disgrace the Southern Sudanese folks.. Many are open-minded enough to sincerely congratulate SS for independence.. Others are ignorant enough not to care.. Many are sad enough to feel extremely angry.. Many belong to the new fantasy and hilarious breed; who have no purpose or logic of their reactions or comments..!
True; Many in Southern Sudan feel much hatred towards the Northern Sudanese Folks.. Many envy much NS for the relatively advanced civic order.. Many want much a bigger bite from the estimated wealthy cake.. Many got the much meaningless degrees in a country ruled by unemployment and unfaithful.. Many read much about revolutionists worldwide and like very much to try.. Many enjoy very much fire the K-47.. Many still have no experience about potable water, sanitary systems, food cuisines or cloth fashions.. Many are just much rubbish to talk to, unless you go back in time..!
Today; I mourn a Country slaughtered by Globalization & Democracy..!
I reserve my rights to mourn Sudan, whom unlikely for me to observe united again, as inevitably and wishfully will be..
Sadly enough that opportunities to manage our own politics are fading out.. This is where Globalization interferes within our realization and decisions making.. Then, the appropriate road map is always and further more missed, lost or confused.. Many players are hiding in the back stage.. Let's do the math: Nile Waters, Precious Metals. Uranium, Crude, Precious Stones, and 300 million acres of fertile land.. China had already allocated one of its state companies for each of Sudanese provinces.. Isreal already exercises in Juba.. AlBasheer escape the ICC by being the 1st to acknowledge ROSS.. Qatari AlJazeerah already established a set in Juba.. $2.4 billion were vanished in SS during 2007-2010.. etc..!
Sadly enough that the mightiness of media and its cordially relations with politics and moneys had stripped all commons from brains and sights.. This times of "The Forced Consciousness" is no difference from The Forced Marriages; when the exotic aspiration of the occasion would hide the misery of personal suppression.. People joyfully chants in Juba, while seeds of suffering are hiding beyond each corner.. The SS Politicians followed the international Lobbyists in calling and working for independence, while their soft and hard resources are not sufficient for municipal administration.. If you want to pass a corrupt notion, put it for public vote..!! 70% of SS folks has no knowledge, understanding or appetite for political plans.. They dream of simple needs to be fulfilled.. which such the 98% vote will not provide..!!
We all share both guilt and gift..
We Separate to Learn how seriously and faithfully to Unite..!
We all Sudanese..!!
Your feelings and thoughts are well described and articulated. Your words and emotions are deeply felt and embraced. I feel you. I feel Sudan. United.

Dear Ambrose Chapel;
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for both your review of my blog, and your comments.. I guess following me for a while would reveal two things:
1st, I always stand outside the box, as how professionally trained, to make sure that both realizing the problem and providing the solutions are adequate and hassle free.. Our chronic weakness as mankind is the trend to favor issues by various personal preferences..
2nd, I belong to all Sudan.. My blood is composed from all over.. and no way for me to accept leaving a party to another.. For me, it is how strategic, logic or cultural partitioning Sudan would mean or bring goodness..
The globalization I talked about is clear.. we all know about it, scream and chant against.. yet incapable to do anything to change its web of realities and beneficiaries..!!
The issue which would activate hard feelings; is the Democracy.. Frankly and scientifically, I do not believe in Democracy as a path towards the correctness to do; but only a “Rubber-Stamp” for what you had advocated to be done.. I had wrote earlier about the “Bell Syndrome” which never proven wrong or failed.. Democracy had only worked in the ancient Greek Cities, when all the people set without precedent arrangements or campaigns, and discuss their matters and agree by majority on actions to be taken.. There were no political games or gains at that time..
Coming to our recent time, “Democracy” is a tool in hands of political groups and their associated media and wealth keepers.. The hot endless debate on legitimacy of educated elite to define and commons to vote, is the source of confusion, disconnect and waste across the 3rd world.. Democracy does not only mean to vote for or against a notion, but to understand fully the consequences of your decision.. This means an obligation which all educated elite never deliver: Telling the people the truth, and all sides of the truth..
Now, you can understand me: “Illusions of Democracy had slaughtered my Sudan..” All Sudanese share the blame for exercising fake democracy.. Even the so called political parties, intellectual groups and media have their share in the messy situation we ended up at.. No one was faithful enough.. No one was smart enough to know that we should stay together.. Partition is not the only solution, yet it endorses lots of lies and confused tales about our history.. It confuses the political game, which Sudanese had proven to be masters in, with the cultural, ethnic, religious issues..
My friend.. I can’t accept partitioning Sudan, as my blood from all over..
This is my “Democratic” right to express..
Always, best wishes..!

Dear Ambrose Chapel;
ReplyDeleteI need to angrily rejected to imitate "Mo Elzubeir" in his orchestrated video..
I believe that he and his cast have no true concern about Southern Sudan.. They will not heartily accept marriage, literally share a dish or sincerely learn a language of yours..
This is what counts, as well as 40% of Americans reject Obama because he is black..
I repeat what Honorable Abel Alier once addressed the Socialist Assembly in mid 1970th: Stop talking Unity, and let me know who would accept me to marry his daughter or sister..?
