Preserve Our Hight

Monday, February 16, 2009 3:40 PM

I think if GoSS prevents early merragies (girls between 12 to 17), we could continue to be number one tallest nation in the world. Little girls get marriage before completing their growth and as a result, they end up short. They also care that structure to their new borns. Their hights get diminshed by our own inhumane desires. Unfutunatly, that may kill our hight slowly. In the long run we will not be a tallest nation no more.

In todays World where everthing turned to be chemically implemented, even our daily food became artifitail, we ought to be careful of changes of the structures our bones and preserve our basic genetic elements.

So please, help preserve our hight, save the nature of our grandfathers. Sientific studies should be coducted and new merriage laws should be enforced.

GoSS should protect the humanity, the rights of our women and the general rights of our natural structure.

Sudan dismisses Beshir ICC charge as 'rumours'

Saturday, February 14, 2009 6:31 PM

Sudan has dismissed as "rumours" reports that its president, Omar al-Beshir, would become the first sitting head of state to be indicted by the International Criminal Court in connection with alleged war crimes in Darfur.
The ICC had been expected to make a decision on issuing an arrest warrant as early as this month after chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo in July accused Beshir of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur.
But after The New York Times reported Wednesday that ICC judges in The Hague had decided to issue an arrest warrant for Beshir, a spokesman for the court retorted Thursday: "At this moment, there is no arrest warrant."
"When we have something to announce, we will announce it. For now, there is nothing to announce," ICC spokeswoman Laurence Blairon told AFP.
"No decision has yet been taken by the judges," the ICC later said in a statement.
"The rumours are aimed to spoil the Doha talks; that is why we don't consider them," Sudanese foreign ministry official Mutrif Siddiq told AFP, referring to Qatari-hosted talks between a Darfur rebel group and the Khartoum government.
In Doha, the head of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), the most active rebel group in Darfur, called on Beshir to give himself up.
"I advise Beshir to turn himself in, voluntarily," Khalil Ibrahim said, adding that he would welcome any arrest warrant for the Sudanese president.
"If Beshir does not turn himself in, no doubt, we will arrest him and hand him over to the international court," Ibrahim said.
Ibrahim, whose JEM last year launched an unprecedented but unsuccessful attack on Khartoum, said that a warrant would "not affect the peace process, neither in Darfur nor in Sudan, nor will it affect Sudan's stability."
Sudan has been seeking to garner international support to fight the accusations, with the Arab League and the African Union both saying formal ICC charges will not help the situation in Darfur.
Khartoum has also in recent weeks hosted senior officials from China and Russia, both of which have veto rights as permanent members of the UN Security Council which has the power to defer a Beshir prosecution for one year, renewable.
Thursday, the UN Security Council held an informal session with Arab League and African Union representatives who made a new pitch for a one-year deferral by the 15-member council of the ICC case against Beshir, under Article 16 of the Rome statute that created the court in 2002.
AU envoy Ramdane Lamamra pushed for the 12-month deferral, arguing that this would not undermine justice in Darfur, Japan's UN Ambassador Yukio Takasu, the council chair this month, told reporters.
Several diplomats said after the session that supporters of such an option did not have have the nine votes within the council necessary for adoption of a deferral resolution.
They said only six council members: Burkina Faso, China, Libya, Russia, Uganda and Vietnam backed a deferral.
Sudanese officials, including Beshir, have always insisted they will not cooperate with the ICC, saying that any allegations of crimes in Darfur would be dealt with in Sudanese courts.
"It's clear Sudan is not a party of the ICC. Whatever the ICC does it is not affecting us," Siddiq said, slamming the charges as "politically motivated."
UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday urged Khartoum to act "very responsibly" if an arrest warrant is issued for Beshir.
The UN chief said that whatever decision the ICC reaches, "it will be very important for President Beshir and the Sudanese government to react very responsibly and ensure the safety and security" of UN peacekeepers in Darfur and protect the human rights of the population.
According to the United Nations, 300,000 people have died and more than 2.2 million have fled their homes since rebels in the western region rose up against the Khartoum government in February 2003.
But Sudan puts the death toll from the six-year conflict at 10,000.

Bashir to be Arrested

Dear all,

This is not an easy thing for Sudan. I hope SPLM and all the other parties should intensify their efforts to prepare for this one. What I am saying has nothing to do with whether I support his arrested or not, but we should all prepare to prevent any other random chaos.
I have a confidence that our party the SPLM is in right track and will overcome this difficult time. I have come to know that the power invested in President Salva, SG Pagan Amon, and the entire SPLM worth the challenge and will prevail.
We are all behind you and do not back no bloc.
Here come the very serious time to step forward or disappear in the darkness of defeat. It is your choice to make the name SPLM what it should be.

Re: Closing Statement by Bona Malwal

Uncle Philip Ajak Boldit,

I agree with you, but my point slightly by passed the level that you argued.
The New Sudan slogan, as far as the self-determination concerns, does not affect South Sudan negatively nor would it make any difference to what we really want. If South Sudan is granted an independent state, then it will not be because we claim South Sudan or New Sudan. It will be either we failed to live under one state or it was an ultimate choice of the South to separate regardless of whether we make unity attractive or not.

There has never been any part of the New Sudan manifesto that claims not the separation of the South. Separation has always been a one of the goals. As a matter of fact; it has been the ultimate goal of the New Sudan. In my understanding, in order to have the free South, we need some friends, true friends "Those who suffered the same prejudicial governance, those who may believe in our goals and had walked or still walking the walk with us" I believe that is how we have achieved the CPA. The CPA is now a document that is owned not only by the Southerners or New Sudan, but also by the entire Sudan. Together we were able to get it started and together we shall make it to our goals individually.

We all know that these few years already showed what has left to be done. My argument was that if Uncle Bona is despising the SPLM because he has a better offer which is a separate state, then he is claiming a very pitiful difference. SPLM already by passed that level and is preparing for an independent state.

Just as an observation, the New Sudan slogan still firing its bullets up to the date but South Sudan's are silenced. That is how New Sudan slogan is so useful for us. That is why Uncle Bona is fighting it for the benefit of Khartoum.

Peter, I did not mock Uncle Bona; rather, I applauded him for the new way of talking. I've almost read all his new writings and have never read anything like that. I also used the very same way asking for blessing of what I thought was different. There is nothing, literally, disrespecting his personal life in my statement. It is only in your thoughts, otherwise.

Fwd: Closing Statement by Bona Malwal

Giir & Peter,

When SPLM/A was established, we had absolute power and leadership or dictatorial system of rule. Opposition was unheard for. When some members started to question some decisions in the leadership circles, one was accused of being 'the enemy of the people' or 'nyigat'. This was the philosophy we indoctrinated our fighters and supporters. Sometimes, I tend to believe that the call for "Democratic Reform" refers to us; we the members of SPLM. Twenty 22 years enjoying un challenegd power; and suddenly we are now asked to accommodate some parties that have practised democracy for years, is a difficult and a rough transistional experience. Being new in this field of politics, we have to accept our short comings. Democracy is a monster to us we SPLM; the other parties, especially the South Sudan political parties have to be patient. And we have to recognize that we have shifted from a movement to a party. Therefore, we must adapt to the norms of the game. We must become democratic by all means and stop belaming or becoming suspecious when other parties outsmart us. All South Sudanese wants their right of becoming independent, no matter wether they are a party or individuals. CPA, though negotiated by SPLM (which is a big credit), calls for right to self-determination, it is a property of all South Sudanese. The game must change now; and those who call for unity of Sudan, please be carefull. South Sudanese will be forced to call you the enemy of the people of South Sudan. You can see what goes around comes around.
Giir, if New Sudan is a compromising factor as long as the independence of the South Sudan is concerned, then you are at wrong side of the southern interest; new sudan is not saleable. All costmetics supposed to made this girl attractive (borrowing Dr John's sayings) have not been applied and the changes of doing that are remote. If SPLM and NCP have spent four years; since the signing of CPA, without making the unity attractive, they cannot do it in the remaining two years. Just forget it and let us celebrate our independence in advance. General Secretary of the SPLM Cde Pagan Amum recorded it to day in all the Newspaper in Sudan, that South will vote 99% for separation. This is the horse mouth saying it. New Sudan will be borne through the independence of South Sudan.

Fwd: Closing Statement by Bona Malwal

Hi Brother Giir Biar,
Please do not think that our uncle Malual-dit is mocking God,he is a true devoted Catholic .And I have witness him several times attending mid-night mass services on Christmas eve in St.Mathiews Cathardal church,in down town Khartoum, for many years.
And beside lets us all respect the spirit of the free democracy ideals in a multi -parties parliamentarian system.
However we all knows that SPLM-party ,is now major party with a large numbers of follows,because fought the brutal for a long and it had came out semi-victorious in the Southern Sudan.Since the day it brought as the CPA,on Jan,9,2009,that comperhensive peace agreement,that was soak with the blood of ,2- millions dead Southerns, for almost ,21 ,years of our lives.
Therefore this sem-victorious SPLM-party,actually now need a strong opposition party in the Southern Sudan Nation.So that the SPLM-party, can be in a strong position to competes with the other strong opposition parties on equal footing in the political arena and political theater of the South Sudan.Or else it will look like the SPLM-party, is actually exercising a one political party dictatorship system.
Just look at the two major political parties of e,g,the Democratic and Republican parties respectively here in the USA.The two parties always competes against each other in a well developed democracy and good advance governance system,with out dictatorship. That is why we had president Obama,currently ruling as the first Black African American president for the whole of the Unitet State of America.

The question of the separation of the Southern Sudan,has already been sovled by the CPA,where as the whole Southern Sudan,is given the right for self determination in an international supervise referendum in year 2011and its sealed.

Therefore Uncle Bona's party, can say what ever they wants ,which its party think that is concerning the independence of Southern sudan.And I think that is their freedom of speech and their to exciser their rights in a free political expressions ,especially at this current time following the signing of the CPA.

You must also not for get that uncle Bona-dit,was a one time an adarent supporter of the SPLA/ Movement ,Way back Before his falling out with late Dr.John Garang.And also Uncle Bona,too use to belongs to the Southern Front party,that was advocating the independence of Southern Sudan,through self-determination.

Therefore I even support his candidancy if he real wants to runns against Mr.Kiir,for the GoSS presidency,in the coming general election of 2009.He is actually free to do that with out he wants to do peacefully and politically .Provided that his opposition political dose no cause any troubles with the SPLM-party .
And the SPLM-party,must really be now open to accept free democratic competion in a free and fair general electing this year in July. As it was clearly stated in the CPA,and the INC,by both coalsion ruling political partners of the NCP and SPLM-party ,since Jan,2005 and so allow Malual-dit,to speak his mind please !

And thanks.
Peter

Dear SPLM Members,
Youth of SSDF

The article below reminds me of the disappearance of my 17 page article which was lost in October of 2008. I wrote that article when I was in jail. The article was meant to be forwarded to GoSS Mission, Washington, DC for help in posting but, it has never reach DC and also never come back. When I read between most of these lines I see my own wards that were directed to SSDF as in defense of SPLM.

However, I am trying to question or respond to few things here, hoping that the claimed Youth of SSDF may want to reconsider their position in their upcoming convention. After all, the article was sent out in purpose of debating the SPLM.

I do not think that there is prove of how the SPLM is threatening the Northerners or other Southern parties as Dr. Malwal puts it. SPLM is a partner of NCP and other parties including SSDF for all the last four years. That is a concrete prove to shaw that there is harmony among all political parties in Sudan.

How would you want an independent state from Khartoum while you are well supported by the North? The right of self-determination was and still being fought by the Southerners. It is not taken for granted yet. Since the SSDF does not want to confront Khartoum in anyways, how would they bring the self-determination? That is the very same thing that led Dr. Machar and Lam Akol to retrieved their way back. What would be new in SSDF tracks? I think the result of such a relationship may again end in either of the following two predictions; 1/ When SSDF gets fat up and stop taking no more lies, they will recover at a very narrow stage and ask the forgiveness from the SPLM. 2/ Khartoum will either deny the authenticity of any claim made by SSDF, or force them to join the army if they fail. Is that the thing we really want to drag our people into again?

Giving thanks to Khartoum because of having higher seats has never been a good thing for the South because it was not from favoring we achieved those seats, it was a right that South claimed in more than 50 years of efforts. We in the South, are still looking for more than these few seats. These are our plain rights that make our every morning a short of a good relationship with Khartoum. In another word, we in the SPLM are the ones that will never let Khartoum get away with what does not belong to them.
I did not detect any new step or goal of SSDF towards implementation of the right of self-determination except that they are pitifully claiming South Sudan instead of New Sudan.

For what it worth, I am glad that Uncle Bona is using divinity language...calling almighty God.. may God also use that in return to bless South Sudan by giving what is right for all. Perhaps to save any postponement of today's conflict for an other more generations to start or give more life again for the same reasons that we have already achieved today.

Cuban citizens live their life in fear: My days in Cuba.

Mr. Gatkouth,

I believed that you were really impressed by the social and the nature of that country except that you were not free to talk your mine out. But....., as you were a visitor and a foreigner, I am sure you did not detect other sagas that effect Cubans in their daily lives. On and after the collapse of Soviet Union, West invested trillions of Dollars almost on the entire World to diminish Communism. That is why countries like Russia almost sank in poverty. China fought its way out but did not have any mentioned good relationship with the US. Both Russia and China do not have any good relationship with the US until today. More over the Cold War is not finish yet. Some departments still function the very same strategies. As you can see, most of countries that did not match the US sank under their own internal problems. Obviously that is another cold strategy that West uses to fight communism. They are always quick to impose sanctions and turn the country upside down. Delicately, War on Terror seems to have taken the priority of the West. Hence, communism is being despised not like it used to, however.

Under these circumstances, whether Cuba should be kept a friend or not remains irrelevant. We had and still having the money used to fight terrorism. We agreed that we wanted this money to rebuild the country and not communism or its affiliations. Time changes and so the situations in some countries. There will be a time that even Cuba will have to change. Also do not forget that West is working day and night to change Cuba. When Cuba is changed, then we will remember our old ties and rebuild them. All I can hope for the sack of the old good ties is to wish Cuba a quick recovery. They will understand that.

Abraham Nhial Deng Nhial, A New Southern Sudan's Defense Minister

Nhial Deng Nhial appointed southern Sudan Defense Minister
Monday 22 December 2008 05:30.

December 21, 2008 (JUBA) — The President of the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) and Commander-in- Chief of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), General Salva Kiir Mayardit issued a Presidential Decree appointing Nhial Deng Nhial as Minister for SPLA Affairs.

Nhial Deng Nhial is seen behind the late SPLM leader John Garang before a documents signing ceremony between a Sudanese government official and a negotiator from the former rebel SPLM on November 19, 2004.
The Presidential Decree No. 175/2008 appoints Nhial Deng, former GoSS Minister of Regional Cooperation, as the Southern Sudan army’s defense minister with effect from today, December 21, 2008.
The appointment comes after a statement by the Governor of Lakes State, Kuol Manyang Juuk, that he had been approached by Salva Kiir to fill the important vacant position since the death of the former SPLA Affairs Minister, Dominic Dim Deng, who died in a plane crash on May 2, 2008.
Nhial Deng, who belongs to the Dinka Bhar El-Gazal region, is the son of the famous late southern Sudanese leader William Deng Nhial, who was assassinated in 1968 by the Sudanese army. William Deng led the exiled Sudan African Nationalist Union (SANU), but returned to Sudan just before his death to take part in the 1968 elections.
Aspiring to his father’s role of statesman, Nhial Deng completed an education in Khartoum and earned a degree in law in the early 1980s.
Nhial’s resignation from GoSS ministry of regional cooperation in May 2006, only a few months after his appointment, brought controversy and debate over the reason for his departure. Some reports said it was because his ministry was financially neglected and with there was rampant corruption inside the government, or because of the significant funds spent on the integration of the SPLA with the SSDF armed groups.
However, neither Nhial nor any other official explained why he had quitted the nascent southern Sudan administration. Afterward, he left Sudan to settle in England for two years where he continued his studies of law.
As a result of continual attempts by his comrades in the SPLM, particularly Pagan Amum and others, he made his comeback to Juba earlier this year. He then caused a surprise by declaring his candidacy for the chairmanship he SPLM against Salva Kiir as well as Riek Machar at the second convention of the party last May in Juba.
Since then, he is seen beside Salva Kiir during his travels inside or outside the Sudan.
His appointment will likely be appreciated by the southern Sudanese army, which is dominated by generals who believe they are the holders of the legacy of the late John Garang, the founder of the SPLM.
The close relationship between Garang and Nhial once sparked rumours that Salva Kiir would possibly be evicted from his position as deputy chairman of the movement. But the matter was cleared up in a three-day meeting which took place in Rumbek from November 29 to December 1, 2004, one month before the signing of the CPA agreement that ended the north-south war.
The SPLM was originally the political wing of the SPLA, an insurgency that waged war for 22 years against the Khartoum-based government of Sudan, before joining the national government in a 2005 peace deal that also made SPLM the ruling party in Southern Sudan.
The SPLA uprising began in 1983 when John Garang, then the head of the army’s Staff College in Omdurman, joined guerrillas and the 105 battalion in mutinying and fleeing to Ethiopia.
The CPA established the SPLA as Sudanese army is southern Sudan while the Sudan Armed Force is considered as northern Sudan army. Both are forming the Sudanese army. The Joint Integrated Units formed in accordance to the peace deal are supposed to the nucleus of the future united army id the southern Sudan opts to remain part of a united state.
This week the Juba parliament passed the army budget; accordingly the SPLA gets forty percent of the southern region’s budget annually which translate to 400 million Sudanese pounds (US$187 million).

Giir Biar Found Not Guilty..Released

Date: November 20th, 2008
Hi Every one,
This is Giir talking,

It is so unfotunat that I spent five months in jail on a well planned political plotted incident against SPLM and some of you did not catchthe gold of its motivation. However, the paint is great butI missed every word, every concern and your wholesome of thoughts of promoting the justice in Sudan. After a two days trail, 8:30 Am to 6:00 PM in the first day and 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM Wednesday, November 19th, 2008, Giir Biar was found notguilty of Criminal Sexual Condoct in the Third Degree (Penetration)and Criminal Sexual Condoct in the Forth Degree (Sexual Contact) I was released 10:PM of November 19th, 2008, after the juries of 12 came with the verdict and it was NOT GUILTY. I am not going to go in details but if any one of you needs to question the incident, please feel free to ask. Until then, let me just say hi to every one. My first greeting goes to President Dr. Johon Garang "if he can hear me", Salva KiirMayardit (Freinds and colleague of my father Jarvas Giir Majok Biar) and the second goes to S.G. Pagan Amom, the well inheritant man ofthe hour. May God help us all protect you administration even with no any expectated return. It is for the sake of the nations that we sacrifised our education, standered of living and political advantigies to make you the best. It is with no return that I pleaged my voice and with consent that you have the ideal program for the country of Sudan. Any other crook plans, high level of revelution of what it might mean even if it is revenue issues, financial advantiges or army advantiges, will never have an effect on me. The SPLM will alwaysbe the number one unless proven wrong. I call upon all southerners especially Dr. Bona Malwal Madut, that we, with all our defferences, educational levels, that we keep one thing in common; the interst of the South. I just got out of a life time prison, a 25 years conviction that was planned, paid and commanded by our own Sudanese people, planned by relatives to begin with, aimed the SPLM, misstakenly used the idea that Dr. Garang was a Commoniest and that the only choice for theWest is Dr. Bona Malwal. I'd beeng held responsible for the fail of Dr.Bona Malwal Madut. If that is true, I would be honored. However, theFBI, CIA and State department need to know exectly what are our policies regrdless of what Dr. Garang was. It is not about Dr.Garang, it is about me, you and our children. Let us all be aware that we are in need of help. I do not have time that much now, but brievely, Long live the SPLM, Long Live the SPLA, Long Live the South Sudan.
I believed more then ever that we need to keep the SPLA functioning at all times. I recommend that there will be no change for the SPLA. We should never have a different army. Just for the sake of the our own rights.
I will talk to you soon in deapth.

Message to James Morgan

James,

I have no intentions to launch any war. It is true that I was effected by the mysterious death of Dominic Diim and others as well as Dr. Garangs, but with no intentions to launch any war. I also know that it is not possible in anyways for any one to do such a thing at this time where we all share the pain frequently. Therefore, if you are going to provoke me under these reasons, then you will not, because I will be Innocent.

I believe this is my intention: Loosing more innocent lives under what is not really known can be prevented if some lights are shaded properly on all deaths on planes in the South. I agree that this is a very sensitive issue and should be dealt with cautions and that includes you Mr. Moderator. Your words or reasons of revocation could also be the one that launches the war that you are avoiding.. well, indirectly. Because you've just named it according to your analysis.

I believe that what I wrote last time is already noticed by the investigation team and hopefully they will consider it.

Mr. Morgan, I am considering your warning, not because I need to stay in SPAM Diaspora, but in the light that we all need to stick to gather so that we can accomplish what we couldn,t in the last 25years. There will be a time that you respect me on that particular post.
We should not be frightened by plain truths and built facts on lies. Cover-ups are always temporal solutions. Don't you ever think that I had no idea of the effects that post may bring, but it is something that we need so that we end up deaths and clear the Southern Sky.

Your in peace Giir Biar

Congratulations Nyier

Dear Nyier,

I am happy that you came to be the new Gordan Mortat. I always know that you will be an asset to the south. It has been a long time since you left back to England in 1988, something like that. If you can remember, when I was hit by Malaria in your house ( Achol's house in Jabera) we had a good dinner afterwards, your father talked to me and encouraged me on so many issues. I am happy and so glad that Salva Kiir took that decision to put you in your father's position. You are a most capable man to fit in that position.

God help you to do more....
