Beny Kiirdit, why ignoring us? why skipping again the historic Gogrial town and rushed to Akon?

By Adok Wek Wek

Today’s visit of H.E. President Salva Kiir Mayardit to Akon has left many people of Gogrial deeply disappointed. For the third consecutive time, the President bypassed Gogrial Town, the headquarters of Gogrial West County and the largest town in Greater Gogrial despite citizens gathering for hours to welcome him.

Your Excellency, what message should the people of Gogrial take from this repeated omission? Is this not the same town where you acquired part of your education at the historic Nyarkec School? Is this not a community that has consistently stood by your leadership and supported your government?

The people remained silent when major development projects, including the tarmac road and proposed international airport, were directed to Akon. However, the continued exclusion of Gogrial from your visits has raised concerns that the community is being overlooked.

Many residents now fear that Gogrial’s historical importance, sacrifices, and contributions to the nation are no longer receiving the recognition they deserve. The absence of visible development projects and limited representation in key positions have only strengthened these concerns, leaving many citizens questioning whether their voices are still being heard.

The people of Gogrial seek neither privilege nor special treatment. They seek recognition, inclusion, and reassurance that their loyalty and contributions to the nation are valued. Unfortunately, this visit has left many of us in Aguok with a deep sense of disappointment and the feeling that Gogrial is gradually being forgotten by President Kiir. No development, no basic services and now the President himself doesn’t even stop to greet us, everything has been shifted to Akon. Aguok Kueidit, it’s shameful and a high time you unite and leave Kiir to his Awan people, he doesn’t value your support.

The next time he comes with his village crew, allow him to pass to Akon and stay in your houses, no need of wasting your precious time over someone who doesn’t value your existence.

The re-appointment of Dr. Joseph Manytuil as the Governor of Unity State is nothing more than opening the healing wounds.

With a relative calm and stability achieved under nearly two-year tenure of Justice Riek Biem, the hope for people of Unity State has been obliterated once again following the announcement of Dr. Manytuil as the Governor.

Manytuil, who has been implicated by UN on numerous human rights violations in Unity State for decades has become a constant burden and curse rather than a blessing to the people of Unity State.

Therefore, I strongly condemn his re-appointment as the Governor of Unity State and I call on all Unity State citizens to organize a massive protest contesting his infamous re-appointment to the state.

ARE WE NUER SOCIETY CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD OR DOG? 😭🤲

One big and naked issue continues to trouble me: why do some individuals, who have failed or lost in their own communities, want to lead the Nuer? Oyet Nathaniel, Juol Nhomngek, Bol Deng Aruai, and the so-called G*i Mayen Luk: these people don’t have a single army on the frontline, yet they sit in their comfort zones and urge young, purely Nuer people to fight all 63 tribes. Our Nuer people don’t see anything wrong with this.

How were we created? Were we made in the image of God or in the image of a dog?

Hon. Oyet Nathaniel gives orders to Nuer generals to fight daily, yet he has no single Acholi on the frontline. What message does that send to the Nuer as a community?

Bol Deng Aruai, in a wheelchair, is barking day and night, pushing Nuer youth to fight without a single Bor youth supporting him. Juol Nhomngek, from Gok Arol Kacuol, a disowned cousin of liberator Daniel Awet Akot Thuou, has nothing to offer the Nuer generals even for their meals during operations, yet spends nights at his computer devising plans to push Nuer youth to die each day.

Then there's another crook, G*i Mayen Luk, who serves as a high-profile politician in the IO party, yet many of his relatives work in President Kiir’s government. His sister also works in the oil sector in a very lucrative position, and the government did not terminate her. Is this normal, or are we being set on a path to extinction in light of our country’s history? Let's think about this in terms of Nuer.

If I may ask my Nuer community again: is this incitement from the people I mentioned normal? Are these people pursuing some hidden agenda? As I write, Dr Riek and his wife, Angelina Teny, are in Juba, yet these individuals I mentioned are collecting funds on behalf of the SPLA-IO party. They do not use this money to support the party; instead, they use it to enrich themselves and their families, and my Nuer community remains blind to see this unfolding situation clearly.

Mark my words: these people are pursuing something I cannot fully understand in this chaotic moment. But you will realise it later once you find your country depleted. You will also know it when these individuals return to their tribes after advancing their agenda.

The end….
