GOODBYE UGANDA!

GOODBYE UGANDA!
After my 12 years of academic pursuance in Uganda, my sojourn in that country has come to an end. i will dearly miss Uganda and its nice people:
1. The Ever Smiling Iteso, 
2.The Ever Polite Baganda, 
3.The Ever welcoming Lugbara and 
4. the Ever Chatty Bakiga. 
As Human being, we all have points of weaknesses, If I've ever stepped on your feet; it's now time to ask for your forgiveness. 
I've also forgiven whoever might have hurt me knowingly or unknowingly. I will always Love Uganda and its people, see you whenever i come around. 
Lots of Love!

The Ugly facts inside South Sudan, could Isaiah’s prophesy to true?

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...

Could the culture of violence be rooted in the language we speak?

Could the culture of violence be rooted in the language we speak? By: Abraham Daljang Maker JUBA: there seems to be a link between the hostility most of us have and the language we speak. I am not good in speaking Arabic but I have something little which I can use to order food and strike small conversation with other people. Sometimes I feel ashamed of myself because everyone in South Sudan speaks it to certain level, but I console myself due to the fact it is not an official language although everyone prefers it informally. To cut this story short, I am just wondering why people sound impolite when speaking Arabic.

I am not being bias about this particular language, nor am I naïve about it but there is something peculiar about the way people speak it. When I hearing people speaking, it all turn as heated debate even when it is normal conversation, everyone ...

World press freedom day, what does it mean to south Sudanese journalists?

World press freedom day, what does it mean to south Sudanese journalists? By: Abraham Daljang Maker: JUBA: South Sudanese journalists join the rest to the world to celebrate the world press freedom day. But what lesson do we learn from this crucial day as journalists?  There are many ways of defining what freedom means, but in my own view, I can say that freedom is when you choose to do something without intimidation and torture both physically and emotionally. Therefore I would say press freedom is when journalists execute their daily activities without being harassed by authorities. What then does it mean to have press freedom? Does it mean that journalists should write any crap with believe that there is freedom in press? Do we as journalists have to just speak our minds about what we see is best for us without catering for the interest of the public? Do we have to strive for economic gain without seeking the truth? The answer to all these questions is a big No. ...
