 Re: Invitaion to the celebration of D.Toby Maduot Parek (Re: فقيرى جاويش طه)

(Juba, South Sudan) - Dr. Toby Maduot Parek, Chairman of the Sudan African National Union (SANU), member of the South Sudan Legislative Assembly (SSLA) has passed away after a valiant struggle with illness.
Late Dr. Toby Maduot was born in Rualbet in Tonj North County in 1936, and after early studies in his native Tonj and secondary school at Ahfad in Omdurman, he completed his medical training at Charles University in Czechoslovakia.
Following his return from Eastern Europe in 1965, he worked as a medical doctor in central Sudan and Khartoum, and then joined politics as a SANU member under the leadership of late William Deng Nhial. He held posts as a Minister at the Presidency in Khartoum in 1969, and then as the first Southern Commissioner of Bahr El-ghazal in 1971.
After the Addis Ababa Agreement in 1972, he was elected to the People’s Assembly and named the first Minister of Health of the Southern Regional Government. He subsequently held the Information and Housing portfolios under the then High Executive Council for Southern Sudan. However, his greatest contribution was in his field as a Medical Doctor who selflessly served in the all corners of Sudan, and especially during the years of the second civil war when his clinic in ElHaj Yousif in Khartoum was a sanctuary and refuge for thousands of displaced South Sudanese and other marginalized Sudanese living in the shantytowns of Khartoum.
He never let down his activism against the successive despots of Khartoum, and was thus subjected to countless episodes of arrest and intimidation over the last 30 years. His Humanitarianism and commitment to democracy and human rights will remain his shining legacy for years to come. Late Dr. Toby Maduot was a husband to Mrs. Carmen Kwei Mawien, Late Mrs. Victoria Yar Arol and Mrs. Sarah Paul Lako. 18 children and 12 grandchildren survive him. The funeral will be held at his resident in Hai Cinema close to the National Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
The Family and Friends of Dr. Toby Maduot Parek

uot Parek Machar,
Chairman, Sudan African National Union (SANU)
1. Introduction:
SANU, party was founded in exile by our heroes, late Fr. Saturino Lahoru, Late William Deng Nhial, Joseph Oduho and others in 1963 in Uganda-Kampala and later founded inside Sudan in 1964 immediately after the fall of dictator Ibrahim Aboud. That time, founders of SANU shared the same vision and objective with then great leaders of Africa like Jomo Kenyatta of KANU- Kenya and Julius Nyerere of TANU-Tanganyika. Like those great parties, SANU was formed to fight for the rights of the marginalized in areas of Sudan such as Southern Sudan, Nuba Mountains , South Blue Nile, Darfur and Eastern Sudan .
At this juncture, we would like also to honor the legacy of great Sudanese such as late William Deng Nhial, late Philip Abbas Gaboush and Ahmed Ibrahim Dereg Who led SANU, All Union of Nuba Mountains and SUNI of Darfur respectively to form the New Forces Congress.

Dr. Toby Maduot Parek, Chairman of the Sudan African National Union (SANU), member of the South Sudan Legislative Assembly (SSLA) has passed away after a valiant struggle with illness on May 24.
The late, a nationalist and prominent political scholar, is credited for his tremendous contributions toward the independence of South Sudan. He played a vital role in shaping the ideology of SANU which later gave birth to the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM).
Parek was born in Rualbet, Tonj North County, in 1936 and after early studies in his native Tonj and secondary school at Ahfad in Omdurman, he completed his medical training at Charles University in Czechoslovakia
After his graduation in 1965, he worked as a medical doctor in Central Sudan and Khartoum and then joined politics thereafter as a SANU member under the leadership of late William Deng Nhial. He was married to Carmen Kwei Mawien, Victoria Yar Arol and Sarah Paul Lako, and fathered 18 children and was a grandfather to 12.
As a human rights activist and a long time critic of the Khartoum regimes, he faced several arrests for publicly criticising the regime’s repression and non-democratic rule.
He was a Minister of State at the National Council of Ministers in Khartoum in 1969, and held the position of the first Southern Commissioner of Bahr el-Ghazal region in 1970.
After the Addis Ababa Agreement in 1972, he was elected to the People’s Assembly and named the first Minister of Health of the Southern Regional Government. He subsequently held ministerial positions as Minister for Information, Housing and then Health again under the then High Executive Council for Southern Sudan.
However, his greatest contribution was in his field as a Medical Doctor where he selflessly served in the corners of Sudan, especially during the years of the second civil war when his clinic in el-Haj Yousif in Khartoum was a sanctuary and refuge for thousands of displaced South Sudanese and other marginalised Sudanese living in the shantytowns of Khartoum.
The funeral was held at the deceased residence in Hai Cinema in Juba. He was then transported to rest in his hometown of Tonj in Warrap State, on Sunday May 27.
His humanitarianism will be remembered for years to come in South Sudan and beyond.
