30th October 1992 known as Juba massacre.

It entails my attention to elaborate precisely about Juba massacre which occurred in 1992 during the siege conducted by SPLA/M operation jungle storms under command of C-in-C Dr. John Garang Mabior.

Iraqi forces made a coalition with SAF around Juba, aiming to dislodge SPLA/M forces around Juba , however attempts to repulse mighty forces didn’t succeed, hitherto SPLA/M divided areas of attack into many garrisons which included Airport force under command of Gen. Garang Mabil, Jebel Kujur under command of Late Gen. Bior Ajang Duot, Bridge force under command of Gen. pieng Deng Majok deputized by late capt. kuai Kuei, Giada or Rajaf garrison under command of Gen. Hoth Mai and late Gen. Koang Nyoun, henceforth C-in-C as the overall commander.

Most of South Sudanese who were in the Sudanese forces and other regular forces like police collaborated with SPLA/M forces around Juba by leaking all clandestine movements and robust plans of the nemesis and their equipments. Many of them agreed to start internal fight once SPLA/M forces commence their attacks on Juba in 1992, but due to mistrust, most of these plans didn’t succeed.

The coordinated attacks didn’t bear fruit and so many SPLA/M forces under command of Gen. Pieng Deng missed in actions at the Juba bridge.

When SPLA/M split, its forces around Juba were compelled to reserve some forces for repulsing dissidents forces and this gave upper hand to the enemy forces in Juba, thus SAF in collaboration with Iraqi forces dislodged SPLA/M forces. This resulted into calamities of OJS forces, most of them got captured and fire squaded by nemesis forces and many bodies were thrown to Juba Kujur, however since many were from Dinka with traditional marks, Jebel Kujur was named as Jebel Dinka by nemesis forces.

Subsequent SPLA/M force’s repulsion around Juba, many South Sudanese soldiers within SAF and regular forces like police and prisons became victims and around 700 South Sudanese particularly from Bari tribe were massacred . Some areas like Atlebara ( come out), Reijal-mapi ( no men) were named aftermath of Juba’s massacre.

Finally , a lot of sacrifices were made to discern independence and contemporary enfranchisement.

Remembering a Hero: CDR William Nyuon Bany.

28 years ago, on January 13th, 1996, South Sudan lost a true liberation legend in a place called Gul - Ayod County, Jonglei State. CDR William Nyuon Bany, a founding member of SPLM/A in 1983, played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's destiny.

In the face of mutinies at various garrisons in May 1983, orchestrated by Major Kerbino Kuanyin Bol and Major William Nyuon Bany, the seeds of SPLA/M were sown. Under Dr. John Garang's leadership at Bilpam, Nyuon Bany stood as the third in command, emphasizing unity: "SPLA should fight until its goal is achieved and not fall short like Anya-Nya I and II."

Why does William Nyuon Bany deserve our respect? Share your thoughts on this legendary South Sudanese hero.

Kon-Koc (Kong-Koc) Philosophy

Cultural and Historic Roots
Kon-Koc or Kong-Koc is an indigenous philosophy deeply seated in the culture of the Nilotic people, more so in the Jieng, a community in South Sudan. The word Kon-Koc literally means "please wait" in the Jieng language. This concept has been instrumental in resolving difficult situations amicably for Centuries and has been part of the Jieng way of life.

The philosophy of Kon-Koc stresses purposeful thinking, patience, and the need to keep situations in perspective before taking action. It is a cultural value that weighs peace, understanding, and long-term coexistence above spontaneous actions.

Key principles of the Kon-Koc Philosophy:

1.Critical Thinking
Kon-Koc inspires people to make important decisions through careful analysis rather than instinctively reacting to any situation. It assists a person in considering the context, finding alternative views, and speculating on possible results as a means of establishing a clearer, more reflective choice.

2.Emotional Awareness
This approach to life relies on a person recognizing and managing their own emotions. Through the process of separating emotional reaction from rational thought, a balance can be achieved in order to respond to situations more clearly and constructively.

3.Active Listening
Kon-Koc embraces active listening in order to fully understand the thoughts and feelings of others. This fosters empathy, strengthens relationships, and ensures responses are considerate and relevant.

4.Perspective-Taking
By taking into consideration different perspectives, one develops a deeper insight into things. That means one asks questions, gathers information, and weighs the situation at hand before responding.

5.Mindfulness and Reflection
The philosophy encourages individuals to be more conscious or mindful and take some moments in reflecting before acting on anything. These moments will save one from making quick judgments and, instead, create thoughtful and humane responses.

6. Long-term Consequences
The first principle is to consider the long-term implications of what one is doing. Kon-Koc teaches how one's reactions can impact on family and friends, social cohesion, and personal honour over the long term.

7.Gaining from Experience
Any experience is viewed as a potential teacher of valuable life lessons. Patience and retrospection permit individuals to learn from their experiences; the result is often further realization about themselves and others.

8.The Relevance of Kon-Koc Today
In a world that moves evermore with speed towards decision-making and reactive behaviors, the philosophy of Kon-Koc offers an age-old approach to conflict resolution and interpersonal relations. This soothing traditional practice, quite provocatively, continues to inspire peace and unity throughout, even from a cultural point of view, being a vital part of heritage for the Jieng people.

من هو شول منوت؟

شول منوت، الفنان الجنوبي صاحب الصوت العذب والإحساس المرهف، وُلد في مدينة جوبا بجنوب السودان عام 1988. بزغ نجمه عندما شارك في برنامج نجوم الغد عام 2010، حيث كان ضمن دفعة الفنانتين فهيمة عبدالله وشموس إبراهيم، وحقق المركز الثاني خلف فهيمة التي نالت المركز الأول.

تميّز شول بأدائه للأغاني الوطنية والعاطفية التي لامست قلوب الجمهور. من أبرز أغانيه: أنا سوداني للفنان حسن خليفة العطبراوي، عينيا ما تبكي لكمال ترباس، لو بهمسة لمحمد وردي، وكنت فاكر لعثمان حسين. كما أبدع في أداء أغنية تعالوا شوفوا الكنت راجيه لبلال موسى، حيث تألق بشجنه وصوته العذب الذي أبكى الجمهور.

ظهر شول في نجوم الغد قبل انفصال الجنوب، لكنه اختار البقاء في الخرطوم بعد الانفصال، ليواصل مسيرته الفنية بالرغم من الظروف الصعبة التي عاشها.

رحلة المرض

عانى شول من مرضي السل واليرقان، ما أدى إلى تدهور حالته الصحية ودخوله مستشفى أبو عنجة للأمراض الصدرية. ظل يعاني طريح الفراش لخمس سنوات، حيث رافقه شقيقه قرنق وزوجته سناء خلال هذه الفترة.

على الرغم من معاناته، لم يسلم شول من الشائعات المتكررة عن وفاته التي انتشرت على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي قبل وفاته الحقيقية. إحدى هذه الحوادث كانت عندما غادر مستشفى سنار دون علم أسرته، ما دفع شقيقه قرنق للبحث عنه حتى وجده وأبلغه بما يُقال، ليرد شول بحسرة: "لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله... أنا لسه حي، ما مُت!"

النهاية الحزينة

واجه شول ظروفًا مادية صعبة منعته من استكمال علاجه. وبرغم كل المعاناة، دخل قلوب السودانيين بعفويته ونقاء قلبه. غادر هذا العالم مبكرًا في 14 مارس 2020، تاركًا خلفه إرثًا من الحب والفن، ولحق بزميله الفنان عبدالله دينق، ليظل في ذاكرة السودانيين رمزًا للإبداع والإنسانية..

Never buy a second hand car!

Well, once you bought a second hand car that had many previous owners who misused it, you will have to accept that you will not be the only driver who will be driving throughout its life time. Mechanics will drive it most of the time and it will spend most nights at workshops. It will also drain you financially and emotionally.

The worst thing is that, old owners may still come to borrow it anytime they may need it.
Again, at times, you will see other drivers flashing lights at you when you are with it because they recognise the car.

This is the last time I am warning you. The choice is solely yours!!! 🥱🙌
