Dear all,
It may be a matter of "if" to some of you, but we are in great pain. We have lost great fathers, mothers, great sisters and brothers, great leaders and most importantly, our very last representatives in GOSS. Believe me folks, as it was said, 17 out of 21 were from Twic community. They were the ultimate hope of people of Tuic. Impact of such a tragedy plays on everyone's souls for years even generations after.
Everyone in Diaspora knows or heard about General Dominic Dim. His wife "Josephina Apiu Aken" was a member of some of these forums; a mother of well known children including journalist Nyibol Deng "co-founder of BAI TV" Josephine was a London resident. Dr. Justin Yach is well known to anyone here, some of you may know Deng Ajak of London, Mangok Kout of Juba University ..just to name few. Therefore, the incident is unprecedented in the history of Southern Sudan. It can be "only" compared to the loss of Zambia National Team in 1993 where no one was left behind.
As Twic community in particular, be it Southerners in General, we shall not indulge ourselves in politics. As people of Twic, we've just lost our last hope. Investigation should be conducted to show reasons that shattered the hopes of South Sudan. What really happened to our last hope?
I have not yet heard how the victims' families observing the new adjustment. I am fearing some will not bear the shock or may not even survive it. Therefore, and once again, we should not indulge ourselves in politics on such a tragedy. At the moment I and the entire community are in great shock and we are just needing your consoling. The whole South including the tribal areas is in complete chaos as the direct families' members reacted violently to this tragic news. I know that people of Twic in particular will recover and have a peace in time. My heart is with all people who are sorrowed by the loss of their loved ones in the plane tragedy. Let's pull together, be strong and grieve for those unfortunate victims.
Giir Biar
