South Sudan at Heart

South Sudan needs peace through brotherly love By: Abraham Daljang Maker JUBA: South Sudan plunged itself into an ugly and senseless war late last year. The fighting was caused by some elements with personal interest but to many people’s dismay, it took a wrong dimension that will ever be regretted in the history of this country.   It would been better for those who want to climb the ladder of success to call upon each other   to fight in a boxing ring so that we the innocents just see them punching each other on the face so that we only cheer them up. And the winner would just walk away with champion waist belt. But to my heart breaking, it is the innocent people who are being killed, being amputated, forced out of their homes to take refuge, Oh My God! May God have mercy on the innocents!      It was hearsay to me but I saw it all today, people walked on crutches with that helpless sight. I could not help holding my tears back, because al...

In fact, the whole affair has become a daily bread and people are totally used to gun shoots, death has become as normal as eating banana. One lives like an antelope that does not know where and will lion strike, people go to bed at night ...

The Ugly facts inside South Sudan, could Isaiah’s prophesy to true? By: Abraham Daljang Maker RUMBEK: sometimes you wonder if prophesies are true but to some extent you seem to agree with them when you see things unfolding in a broad day. I have been contemplating on the issues in the Bible, especially the book of Isaiah, chapter 18, you see the main heading which reads; “a prophecy against Cush,” that is in new international version NIV but in other versions, it says, a prophecy against Sudan. This leaves you speechless and wonders if the prophet meant the present day Sudan and its neighbouring South Sudan or it was a Biblical Sudan which we may not have on this planet. If you have read through this particular verse, you get description of the people in verse 2 which depicts “tall and smooth-skinned, fear far and wide and aggressive nation…”  in verse 6, you find a heart-breaking things that these people will be eaten by birds and wild animals. This description clearl...
