Letter to the BBC’s Resident Presidents



Letter to the BBC’s Resident Presidents

By: Abraham Daljang Maker, Kampala Uganda.

Dear resident Presidents, this letter come to inform you that I am forming an opposition for democratic change (ODC). We have been fighting together for 50 years in the Bush house in order to obtain independent. Indeed, we moved to the new house at broadcasting House after we overwhelmingly voted for independence. I know you have not been happy with me because of my thirst for power which made me defected several times during our movement, you must know that all I needed was power. But thank God that I became the Vice president in our new house government in London. I was about to start enjoying the sweat of our toil at a dinner table but you sacked me and the entire BBC cabinet before we could relish the food; we oppose you because we could not stand seeing you eating alone when we had all suffered during that thicket Bush house war in London. I was so impatient to wait for the next elections because I discovered that your two years as presidents in the new broadcasting house are too long than the 34 years Robert Mugabe spent in power. I want you to know that our new house will not be in peace unless you resign and I become the president, I know you feared that I would win the elections, didn’t you?

You made me and my colleagues to oppose you because we prophesied that you will be a dictator as manifested in some actions you did in recent months. I am aware that some of us stole billions of dollars and you pardon them, you deserve credit for that.  You and I decided to train an indiscipline army who started to assault each other but later turned their anger on our innocent civilians. When I ran away, you said I had staged a coup which I denied although some people said I planned for this violent. Yes I have decided to form a democratic movement called new broadcasting house democratic movement. I am aware that the peace talk which is going on in France between my delegations and yours will not yield positive results until you remove the Russian Red army from our new house. I am glad that our delegations are eating well in the 5 star hotels in France while the people are starving in displacement camps. I am still thinking of other options; maybe I should have been doing the Walk-to-Work Protest so that I cause harmless commotions in the city while wrestling with police. But I am afraid you would spray me with tear gas pepper. Well, I will decide to take that option if you and I agree to end the suffering of those civilians. 

I look forwards to registering my political party to challenge you in the next election instead of me eating under these trees and you in the house while our armies are battling for us in hot sun.
Thank you for your consideration and see you during the campaigns and elections

Yours opposition leader

Street children in Rumbek lakes state are expecting bright dawn By: Abraham Daljang maker KAMPALA:   a good number of street children in Rumbek town, the capital of lakes state, is looking at the bright side of their lives as they expect government support and the development of their talents.   Rumbek town has an increasing number of street kids, especially boys 5-17 years of age bracket who leave their homes and come to live on the street of the small town where they live by scavenging for food in gutters and the leftovers in small restaurants.  Finally, they converge at freedom square, where they spend their nights on a dusty and cold football playground.  Due to hardship in getting food, some of these children have resorted to a dangerous game of pick-pocketing and snatching any valuable item they lay their hands on. As a result, they are beaten and seriously injured by the people to whom they take things. These children also drink cheap, locally brewed alcohol and b

Teresa Nyankol Mathiang was a peace Icon and a liberator

  Teresa Nyankol Mathiang was a peace Icon and a liberator By: Abraham Daljang Maker Nyankol Mathiang was a great singer who inspired all the south Sudanese during the Liberation struggle. She was a star who used the arts of music to encourage and agitate for freedom of South Sudanese.   I was stunned by the story post on the social media, Facebook that she passed on in Juba teaching hospital. I could believe what I saw; my eyes started to swelled up with tears and I could not controlled   the ball of tear which rolled down my cheeks. My brain immediately turned on the cassette of her songs which kept singing and rewind when the songs are over. Her angelic voice kept nagging me as I lay down in my bed in the afternoon, the more I controlled the flow of the songs, and the more the tap kept rewinding itself. I never knew her personally or do I have any blood relations with her but she was like a mother to me due to her wisdom she put in words. According to the news, Nyakol

COWS HAVE BECOME THE SYMBOLS OF DOOM IN OUR CULTURE.

Cows have become the symbols of doom in our culture.   By: Abraham Daljang Maker They are just four legged animals which we should have been using wisely for our equitable economic benefits and to enhance better living as pastoralists communities; instead, they have enslaved us all. The victims of this enslavement are our sisters, daughters, aunts and cousins who are being subjected to torture by greedy individuals who see their daughters and sisters as assets rather than human being who deserve respect and dignity, what a tragedy?  I was dumbfounded by the news of a 20 year old girl who was killed in Yirol by her brothers for refusing to accept an arranged marriage to a man she didn’t love or perhaps she wasn’t ready to get married to any man for that matter. I first disregarded it as social media fake news until I saw it in one of the credible sources. I was skeptical about the authenticity of the news not because it couldn’t happen but because I couldn’t believe that anyone i
