عشان تصدقونا يا عالم !!!

Quote: . What provokes surprise now is that the Twich chiefs with support from some intellectuals have been claiming some Ngok Dinka areas including Agok the second town to Abyei which is now harbouring about 60,000 peoples. Twich chiefs in January, 2013 presented a petition to President in which they said Twich boundary with Ngok ends with Kiir River. Imagine what a BIG lie! I’m sure not all Twich people who support these hypocritical claims for Ngok Dinka land. Now some intellectuals and chiefs from Twich are even calling for cancellation of surveying and planning exercise of Agok town claiming that the town is theirs and Ngok Dinka should not survey it. If these rumours and propagandas persist without addressing them war of prejudice will commence between Ngok and Twich and later on the two tribes/clans may get into real inter-tribal conflict. Conflict always starts with prejudices and rumours before it turns into actual confrontation. I thought our brothers from Twich should now support Ngok to fight Missirriyah and NCP to ensure that Abyei is fully part of South Sudan rather than turning to fight Ngok over claimed tribal borders which shall amicably be resolved when Abyei issue has been settled. Where will Ngok Dinka put their backs on now since the Missirriyah and Khartoum government are attacking Ngok in front while our Twich brothers are preparing also to attack from behind? We don’t want another tribal conflict to erupt in South Sudan. And, I think our leaders from both Ngok and Twich should give their attention to this row in order to address the root causes of the looming conflict before it gets out of hands. I suggest that our Ngok politicians meet with Twich ones in Juba, Wau and Kuacjok; and form a joint committee to instantly visit Tur-alei and Agok towns to meet with all the stakeholders in order to urgently address the fermenting problems. I also suggest that our CBOs (Youth and Women Unions and chiefs) put an initiative of meeting with their counterparts from Twich sooner rather than later. Also Abyei community organization (ACO) in Juba should engage with Twich intellectuals and other relevant bodies to cool down the situation before it gets worse. We should note that any fire starts with a flame. Now the flame of the fire has started and it is up to us to extinguish it before National Congress Party (NCP) and Khartoum government exploit the situation and add more fuels to the flame.
