As a witness and have experienced the situation of SPLA/M, I can encourage you to go forward to present your case to the human right organization as the voice of democracy so that the world may know our problem with SPLA/M.

Since 1983, when Dr. John founded SPLA/M, in Ethiopia, SPLA has employed a system of ruling civilians with very dictatorship manners unlike to “Anya Nya One” and “Anya Nya two”.  They began their administration by harming the innocents, destruction of the houses, raped girls, and women, looting cattle, burning up huts, recruiting of teenagers, and displacing of villages. Brutal treatment is the main tactic for SPLA to liberate areas. SPLA collect all the teens of Nuer in Ethiopia by force to joint SPLA’s military training. However, they were not Sudanese by laws, though; they were Nuer in nature (culture).

For example, in the year 1985, SPLA launched a huge troop toward the following areas, such districts are: Dorong, Badhiel, Kurthony, Teluth, Dualjiok, Ngor, Nguanhok, Matduerkoang, Tandar, Bulimkun, Nipnip, and Mangok. All these areas are under the administration of Ethiopian government, they are not accountable to Sudan government. Because, they are Nuers in culture, SPLA accused them of Mr. Gai Tut, SPLA said that people are loyal to Cdr. Gai Tut and Cdr. Koang Chol, therefore, they destroyed these villages for, they thought that they have some connection secretly with Anya Nya 2, while they have already destroyed Bilpam and chased Anya Nya 2 away back to Sudan, approximately, a distance of five hundred kilo meters away from the areas burned up in Gambella Ethiopia.

Cdr. Kiir Mayardit was the chief security, who overviewed the war; Cdr Kerbino Kuanyin Bol was the deputy C in C, Cdr. Wiliam Nyuon, was the Chief of Staff, Cdr Dr. Machar was the member of High commander. These commanders were the responsible and overseers of the war in Bargeer, they were standing on the river bank of Makuach Luthchior (Bharelsalem). By the end of February and the beginning of March, 1985, SPLA destroyed all the villages with their bitterness heart due to the fear of Cdr. Koang Chol and Cdr. Chuol Deng. However, Gajaak the people of these villages fought them very seriously and sent them back to Bilpam, 80% of the SPLA’s troop was killed. The civilians took their guns with them, and left their bodies to birds and animals.

As a result of the war, my father “Kuon Yuot”, an old man of 90 years died due to the news he had heard that all the seniors of Mathiang dead in the forest because of thirty in Lare. Those who died in war were not recorded officially, because SPLA and the government of Ethiopia did not allow journalist to investigate the community in order to find the exactly numbers of people including children who had died in the same day. While people were running from Mangok to Wuret, they buried my father beside the river bank of his field under the traditional tree of his. SPLA ruined all places at Jikow in different dates and years; many seniors and disabilities (handicapped) were lost during the war due to their inability to escape the war. Other places which they called liberated areas were defiled by themselves. They demolished their own people instead of the enemy which they used to talk about.

Dictator Mangistu Hailee Marian, the Ethiopian president, trained SPLA to disobey human rights. Democracy was sounding like a hallucination to their minds until today. Policy is not an easy disease. It functions as a dread disease caught up people for twenty years; and it needs some kind of medicine to be treated within a period of twenty years too. Otherwise, it will cause a very high effect against the body of the patience, i.e. vomiting, dizziness, and stomach-age.

Moreover, many destructives actions were taken by SPLA against civilians of the South Sudan, regardless to their status or tribes: such a terrible movement does not respect any group of people, either Nuer or Dinka or any tribe in the South Sudan. They were acting like an enemy to any community in the country. SPLA did not care to use any kind of weapons to perform devastation against humanity; they even destroyed Bor community, the people from which Dr. John Garang was born, Bintiw where Dr. Riek Machar born, Panjak, where the chief of staff Cdr William Nyuon born. SPLA depends on denying the truth; they have drunk of Communist dictatorship policy. They used to kill people and deny it. Amazingly, all the incidents took place upon the innocents by SPLA were not recorded, except, the incident that occurred in Bor city. Norwegian Church Aids took the pictures of those people which were dead. They captured photos because they supplied the area with food and clothes.  Many areas were blocked toward journalist, for the dictatorship does not allow journalist to visit places where SPLA has spoiled.

In the month of March, 2011, SPLA did the same thing to civil society. After Gen. George Athor’s soldiers attacked the civilians in Panjak in Jonglei and killed them. Immediately, after the incident, President Kiir Mayardit and his all cabinets made a decision to fight Gen. Athor, unfortunately, they destroy all Dinka Ngok Community in Khor-fuluth, instead of rebels. They burned up two villages completely due to their suspect of supporting Gen. Athor Deng. SPLA, instead to fight with soldiers and save the innocents from Athor’s threats, they corrupt everything they find in Dinka community too. We know that civilians cannot overthrow the military group by force, it is impossible for Ngok to chase George Athor away from their land whether they like or not. SPLA should fight with rebel and protect the civil society, yet, they used to destroy the community before they fight enemy. This is the sign that they fear of their rebels.

            Similarly, Unity Sate civil society cannot move Gen, Gatdeet away from their area because it is too hard for them to do. SPLA, because of their intimidation of Gen. Gatdeet’s arm forces, they ruined everything they saw around them. They slew people intentionally, e.g they smote cattle, and burned up houses due to their suspect of knowing what Gen. Gatdeet is doing. Yet, SPLA is wrong because civilians did not support Gatdeet because he is the Nuer nor they like what he has done, but they were compelled to join military by force. SPLA should know this people very well, because these rebels broke out of them. They used what they have learned from their masters.

Today, many people thought that SPLA is changed from the behavioural dictatorship of 1983, which they learned from the former Russian Communism (Manifesto I & II). But, they are still managing their government in the same previous way. They put their trust into dictatorship; it is easy for them to rule with authoritarians instead of democracy.

So, sisters and brothers, you are right to bring up your appeal to the international communities. I think there might be some changes when the world sees it, and they will take a serious scrutiny on the administration of what so called SPLA/M, the one Party system government of South Sudan.

I am believe that SPLA has destroyed all these 8000 houses of this Nuer community in Unity State for, they used to fired house wherever they fight with South Sudanese, I think they are too violence to rule over us, yet, they are ruled by force. They governed us with their own will. Gen. Gadeet cannot kill the civilians because he did not defect from the civilians.

 

The voice of democracy!
