By Peter Majak Garang I was as young as seven years old when the 2nd and the longest Civil war broke out in the Sudan 1983. The effects of the war were felt by all people without sparing children. The environment was not allowing normal running of social activities such as schools, hospitals, churches to mention few of which some became a target of air and ground attacks.

The Letter of Appreciation
“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” Philippians 2:1-4 On … [Read more...]
Symbolism of Chairman’s visit: Mr. Akol Aguek
By Alier Mach Deng There are some visits that deserve reporting and attention. In his brief visit, he met the two leaders. Due to privacy and the fluidity of the situation, I am constrained to mention their names. After all, you are familiar with them. The timing of his visit is significant. The assurance to people representatives sends a powerful message; the inherent interest of diaspora community in the plight of their people. He did not bother to meet the President but the people … [Read more...]
TO ECONOMICALLY AND EFFICIENTLY OUTLAST A GROWING FAMINE IN THE COUNTRY, SOUTH SUDAN MUST MATCH HER CHEW ON TO THE TEETH.
By Mangar Malith Deng.

President Kiir leadership is a travesty
By John Yool President Kiir reign will go down in history as a reign of bloodbath, misdirection, grand corruption, underdevelopment, incivility, impunity and corrosive ineptitude. Under Kiir’s leadership, cycle of violence committed against innocent South Sudanese professionals by merchants of impunity popularly known as ‘unknown gunmen’ has become part of life. Even after poorly investing his political capital from the beginning, president Kiir has shown no remorse or self-examination on how … [Read more...]
South Sudanese Tried to imitate Yom Kippur via National Day of Prayers, but Fall Short!
By Reuben G. Panchol Sincerity and Honesty are pre-requisite of attending God present through the veil of sanctuary and coming closure to the present of Heavenly father, but imitation and copycat can create a bearer between mankind and his Heavenly Father. On March 2, 2017, Mr. President Salva Kiir Mayardit declared March 10, 2017 as a National Day of Prayer which had raised and turned some people hair grey. For some doubting Thomas (me included) started to wondered of what the National Day … [Read more...]
In Gen. Ruben Mach Buot’s Footsteps; a Grandson, a Lost Boy, Jacob Deng Mach, Graduates at U.S. Elite Police Academy
By Alier Mach Deng It was on Jan 30, 2017, when Butrus Ajak Deng, Ruben Lual Maker and I warded off a vicious and scurrilous attack against the distinguished Gen. Ruben Mach Buot by Dr. Jok Madut. The graduation of Deng from the elite police academy, Herbert T. Jenkins, is a complete validation and vindication of Gen. Ruben Mach Buot against a false and diabolic charge of nepotism as the Chief of the then Southern Sudan Police force. Ruben’s influence was felt across every part of the … [Read more...]
Perception Over Mama Nyandeng’s Interview
By Gabriel Alier Mach To be fair to Mama Nyandeng, Mehdi Hassan, the journalist was a consummate one and was well prepared for the interview. He tripped her badly “Ache leew chock arach” I think Mama Nyandeng was constrained by words-“Ache chuch eweel/ ache nom mum/ache nom diang” Indeed, she ran short of words. You saw how she was rocking and fidgeting in her seat. Maker Mayom Gurech rightly put it that she was in Hot Seat. She trivialized the contributions and the egregious suffering of Red … [Read more...]
