Dear All;
Is it a democracy or exploitation of property rights of Bentiu States?
Let me begin by telling you a quick story about Gambella, Ethiopia oil disputes relocation. It is not long ago, Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi wants to build a pipe line from Gambella to his hometown so that his people should benefit more than any citizens in Ethiopia. He knows refinery should create a lot of jobs for his people, which in turn his hometown should have hug taxes and surpluses, and then they should build schools, hospitals, roads and reinvest in. However, Oromo encounters with the Prime minister’s proposal that he cannot take pipeline from Gambella to his state by jumping it over Oromo’s state. So Oromo claims their proximity that they are closest to Gambella. Fortunately, Gambellans jump in. Hey, it is in our state so we can do it here in Gambella. But the question is, are Gambellans going to success to refrain refinery in their state even though they have less power? The refinery case is pausing and still pending in Ethiopia now.
When we come to this issue, it is very sensitive and impossible to take pipeline from Bentiu-Nuer State to Warrap-Dinka State because they think they have a power to do it. This creation of tribal government will provoke war and devastation of some states. Last time, Dinka divided government positions into Dinka sections and no one said anything about it by the sake of CPA. Once again, they want to use their superiority by collecting wealth from non-Dinka areas to Dinka areas. If that is not the case, what is wrong with refinery to be built in Bentiu areas? Tell me.
Bentiu needs a lot of works to be done in order to prevent diseases that caused by oil. As we all know oil cause cancer and other many major diseases. First of all, we need to hear from government about what to do with residents who are going to suffer from oil pump. When you pump oil, make sure people are going to get sick. So hospitals and cleaning water are supposed to be the first things to be done for disease prevention before any pumping, or oil drill take place. Because person in the power is not from Bentiu, he ignores all these major issues. He plans to make state a work zone and leave residents unprotected. This was done by Europeans long time ago. They polluted area by pumping oil out and did not clean water for residents to die. That is what happened today in Bentiu. We pumped oil out. We let it go into water and left it unsolved for Bentiu-Nuer to drink it and die from it.
I got four questions for you
1. Does Dinka’s administration do any things about Bentiu-Nuer residents’ health instead of focusing on taking oil to Warra-Dinka State to enrich themselves quickly?
2. If Bentiu would have been a Dinka State, do you think Kiir should have relocated refinery to Nuer State?
3. If your answer is no, how do you think the Nuer reaction would be?
4. Do you think Dinka will use oil, if they get control of it, against Nuer and others instead of using it for our country prosperity and security for all?
If Bentiu-Nuer are stupid enough to let Warrap-Dinka takes oil in front of their eyes and builds it in their state and makes themselves richest, then, they (Nuer) will be second class citizens and live poor forever just by make simple mistake like that. I hope they will not let it happen with the help of others.
Dinka ambition is to take all southern Sudan resources into the heartland of Dinka to feel secure. They know that power without wealth is useless. They currently control the government key positions that is fined they said, but they are not yet fully control the resources which is very disturbing in the mind of Dinka elites.
Look at the military structures. All Dinka are heads of any department. That is why you see the brand new tanks, military equipments, and many more are located in Warrap State which they call it “Dinka Central Power” (DCP). Nuer and others are commoners and subordinates in both military and civil adminstrations. They are made deputies to assist Dinka’s administrations. We are tried of this nepotism system. But I hate more to hear that Dinka’s power, once again, wants to take oil pipeline to Warrap without consent of Bentiu citizens.
1. Why they don’t take it to other state rather than Warrap-Dinka State or DCP if this is not an ambition plan?
I am very sure that Nuer Community and Nuer intellectuals who know-how will do something about this decision very soon otherwise there is no democracy and rule of law.
I am not a tribalist, but I am advocate for those who can’t do it for themselves.
Thank you all,
