The December 2013 killing of ethnic Nuer civilians by South Sudanese
President Salva Kiir, recent targeted killings in the Equatoria
region, Wau, as well as other areas, have become a marketable brand
being traded publicly for money. South Sudan civil war is now a
lucrative business for some greedy foreign governments.
Who are the investors in South Sudan atrocities?
The number one committed investor in South Sudan’s atrocities is the
Ugandan government. Other known silence investors in Kiir’s bloody
regime are the Kenyan, Egyptian, Moroccan, and Eritrean governments.
These governments invest in these atrocious crimes in total disregard
of innocent victims, some of whom were brutally burned alive by Juba’s
regime. It is unconscionable for any thinking being to invest in war
crimes and crimes against humanity. Nonetheless, these countries have
no problem with investing in South Sudan’s war crimes. As you can see,
Kiir’s atrocities for sale strategy has no shortness of investors — he
is laughing at anyone who questions the tyranny of his illegitimate
government. In fact, he is happy and believes the country can be
peaceful if he keeps getting financial and weapons help from his
regime investors. I can assure you that the list of Juba’s crimes
investors I included is incomplete. There are a few other nations that
I intentionally left out, but their names will appear in upcoming
writings.
How can a reasonable person still trust a murderous tyrant, who
deliberately planned the infamous December 2013 self-managed coup in
an attempt to destroy his political adversaries so that he could run
the country like a mafia boss?
It is rather stunning when I hear a world leader call on Kiir to
respect human rights and implement the now-defunct August 2015 peace
agreement when in fact Kiir and tribal hooligans of the so-called
Jieng Council of Elders keep pursuing a destructive policy for the
sole purpose of maintaining a seemingly ethnic ideology.
There is no such a thing as peace in South Sudan because of the
current First Vice President Taban Deng Gai, who claims to be the
leader of a Juba-based SPLM/A-IO, is merely a toothless leader. FVP
Gai is probably the first opposition leader in the history of modern
Africa who never opposed a single agenda of Kiir’s government since he
became the First Vice President. In a realistic sense, Kiir and Gai
are chairmen of two different political parties with supposedly
different political ideologies. If this is the case, then, it can also
be logically concluded that Gai has simply been serving as an
extension of Kiir’s tyrannical rule, and any hope of achieving peace
under the two men is a pure fantasy.
Why does the world seem to only be interested in humanitarian
assistance rather than in ending the civil war? Did Kiir bribe East
African leaders to look the other way? Is Kiir’s policy of deceit
helping him? Is there a global complicity towards South Sudan’s armed
opposition? Why do Russia and China always claim that any sanction
against South Sudan would not solve anything? Do Moscow and Beijing
have a secret deal with Juba? Are the alleged claims that South Sudan,
South Africa, the United Nations, and the United States conspired
against South Sudanese rebel leader Dr Riek Machar true? Who is giving
the South African government a monthly payment to keep Machar in South
Africa?
Some of these questions I present are for you to draw your own
conclusions. However, there are those who fallaciously argue that Riek
Machar is the cause of the ongoing civil war and that his presence in
South Sudan would magically escalate the violence. Well, I want to
make it clear that only a ruthless tyrant with a cowboy hat would
believe this naked argument. People should know that South Sudanese
rebels are not fighting for Riek Machar. Even if Machar decided to
retire from politics today, the war would still rage tomorrow. Any
sound-minded person should not solve a problem by trying to punish the
victim and reward the instigator — this is like embracing a person who
just returned from a killing spree. Those who glorify Kiir’s crimes
should consult their consciences. Machar is a victim of Kiir’s
political madness. This Macharphobia must stop.
It is now clear that Kiir’s atrocities for sale scheme are a
continuation of business as usual. If the African Union and the
international community have no real plan to help stop the war or at
least shame Kiir’s war crimes and crimes against humanity investors,
then the future of South Sudan is doomed.
