Introduction
I am here with passionate to bring the views and perception of the people of southern sudan who come from different tribes in southern sudan as youngest country in the world which got independence in 2011 9th july.
Southern Sudan has over 60 tribes and each has its own tradition beliefs and cultural beliefs in their context of life, while the war which started some 3 decades back under the leadership of John Garan was political war, today its not true things have changed from political to tribal war and conflict of superiority conflict from two major tribes.
In this case were are talking about DINKA and NUER since they are the largest tribes in Southern Sudan.
History
According to some collected information from around 30 tribes in Southern Sudan, the prevailing fighting its due to the following reasons below
- Traditional beliefs and superiority conflict of the two tribes thinking all are superior than other hence one one is accepting to bend to respect and honor
- Wrong prophetic theory which has collided with the situation in southern Sudan, It's belived that some 300 years ago some prophet had the following to say,
Southern Sudan will fight and it shall be granted independence and the leader who fought will die and another Dinka will take over power but he shall be overpowered with WAR and hence Nuer who will come shall using wrong hand which means (LEFT HAND).in this case it has happened and its in collusion that DR Riek Machar is writing using left hand and which is serious issue with the Dinka.
The really problem is tribal whereby each of these two tribes are fighting to succeed on the prophecy while Dinka are fighting to Fail the prophecy.
Recommendations to the united nation and African unions
- Facilitate the negotiation of peace in southern sudan needs other 62 tribes to take lead and bring all the tribal issue into the table
- War in southern Sudan does not need external force its only needs advice and resource to sort the problem
- Riek and Kiir are all to be put out of the leadership in southern sudan for peaceful transition of African young country
- Prayers are the key to success of this war because there are beliefs of spiritual and traditional beliefs of prophecy .
Nutshell there fore, Southern Sudan war is more of tribal than political which is characterised with uncivilised behaviours by the two tribes and prophetic thinking ,believing in the gods which can not help them on depending on misfortunate.
Thank you,
All these views are from Southern sudan people who are tired of war.
