Opinion: What Does The Future Hold For The People Of Bor?

By Mark Jol Kucha

May 8, 2017 (Jonglei Times)-The struggle we felt in our parents' chromosomes scared the world to disbelief of its sooner end but credit to our liberators for there later seemed to be light at the end of the tunnel.

Hopes, visions, desires and would be done by my countrymen aroused on the sight of the “thought to be lasting peace" at the horizon back in the interim days of C P A and even more realistic on the accomplishment of the referendum.

The screams n yells of joy from women n fellow siblings could the heard from the jungles they have lived in all long as they thought were heading for the " heavens" they have been hoping for but all this vanished in thin air all blames to this fateful 2013 that toppled any sense of nationalism and patriotism among my compatriots.

The land that drips with oil, sprouts with yields of all sorts and animals of all kind that every other human had admired as the place to be as so soon turned inhabitable and now the livings have become " living dead" since each one awaits his dismay in every next minute.

My heart goes out in sympathy to the people of Bor who are entangled at the centre of their opposing forces,one by one they are being assassinated ,hated and discriminated but why does nature insists on ruling against us even when we persist to be fair to all?.

My little once promising town of Bor as all long been chosen as the battle field ,reduced to ashes, flooded with pools of blood and its streets littered with ever drying bones of its innocent inhabitants, majority of whom have never seen a mere road as they continue to swim in flood from village to village year after the other.

countable as we are left ,the multitude continue to converge against us even when there is barely anything left to be robbed as all my siblings have been abducted ,herds raided and the able have had their lives terminated .

The elderly and the young continue to starve to dryness like maize stocks in the localities as each day pass by courtesy of ever suffocating economy not forgetting those who target them in their gardens and with all this at home one would be tempted to think those in the diaspora sit in the lap of luxury yet the difference is the similarity.

A case study being the nasty ethic targeting against my people in the joined refugee camp late alone my encounter in this particular camp where the thousands that pass a point each minute speak my mother taught, here the " blessed" have a single meal of " yellow flour " and rest of them coil with their rambling empty stomach each night, with education far pegged among their numerous necessities that have turned out of reach.

What then if not doom does the future hold for us? It’s high time we gave equal but opposition reaction to all these actions as the situation is clear to be survival for the fittest .may humanity judge accordingly.
