 Brief on Sudd Briefs
|
The Sudd Institute is creeping in on little cat feet to fill the gaping wounds in the heart of our nation. This is good for our nation’s health and, is, and has been particularly good for mine for some time now.
This little known institution of thought based in Juba, the nation’s capital, saw the darkness descending upon our country and decided it was times to do something. And what exactly do the sharpest minds do when darkness descends? Well, they set bonfire alight. The light is dimly visible and it is right there at the end of the tunnel. We will get there and shall.
The Institute is being monitored around the world and its lead expositor Jok Madut Jok is being sought after by the most credible media houses for punditry on current situation in our country. Jok’s incredibly authoritative analysis and his objective views on the fundamental problems of governance in South Sudan are reshaping regional and international attitude regarding the root causes of the violence in our country. Dr. Madut and his colleagues at the Institute may have effectively staved off and muzzled some very piercingly boisterous self appointed international experts on our affairs, with whom we have little or no community of nature. And the Institute should be accredited for its dignified posture.
My fears though, favour this assumption: our government has the propensity for what Gustave Flaubert called “the menia for wanting to be done with it,” meaning ill-informed and impulsive policy and political decisions erratically taken to address short-term crisis. This process is failure-prone and the Institute has been warning our politicians, for some times, against short cuts in its policy and political decision making processes. It advised our government to embark on “long term reforms in all sectors” and that these reforms “should be inextricably linked to political reforms” in its latest policy brief.
Our country is convalescing. Thanks Sudd.
