Dear Compatriot The humanitarian crime committed by the Umma party and NIF regime in Khatoum against the innocent people of North Bhar el ghazal is a political crime and need political accountablilty.The killing of old people.burning of houses,confiscation of properties.There will be no agreement with Baggara unless the confess and pay the compensation.The criminal of war should be brought to justice.
I would like to ask only two questions
1- What will be the role of Students/Youth during the interim period Reconcilation Reconstruction 2- We lost many people in this long civil war,What will be our contribution to disable,widow,orphanges and Martys
Students/Youth are the tool that can bring change to our Nation,It was the time now for us to liberate the wrong concept of the people.
The khartoum system of government start the policy of divde and rule this days,The southerner in Nif are fighting on the bone in khartoum Thanks Madingdit
This topic is very good and should not be underestimated by youths, politicians, and elders of Northern Bhar el Gazal should peace come to an effect today. The bagara has committed a lot of atrocities to the innocent civilians in Northern Bhar el Gazal in collaboration with Khartoum government in the early 1980s to 1990s. The Bagara and Khartoum government should be held accountable for mass destruction and sued in the international court should they refuse to comply with us.
What is do youth need to do? reconciliation , reconstruction. I think youths are the communities' assets. Therefore, youths should play greater role in the reconstruction and they should promote unity through the process of reconciliation within south sudan. The fate of our nation south sudan and our communities within south sudan lie us all. Youths can bring a genuine deomcracy to south sudan if we are both united and speak the same voice. I will add more opinions later on. Kind of busy right now.
Applause

This is a discussable topic. I think we have ignored issues related to youths' role for a long time, we never bothered to talk to about it. I guess it is hight time we give a closer look at the role we the youths are going to play in the post-conflct south especially with regards to issues such as the one raised above. I will give my opinion on it later, a little bit busy right now.
I think Ngong did a very good job to come up with this topic. These are kind of topics which can bring a proper understanding and better relation amongst students/youths, because they will be familiar with one another and what they should expect to do at home. This topic is really helpful in the sense that it will make the students/youths aware of their responsibilities back home in case we eventually have peace, also they (students) will appreciate the sigificance of solidarity and interdependent amongs themselves. Truely, it is a crucial time to make ourselves aware of our jobs so that we won't be surprised when we go home. Preparation in advance would be the key to make things work better for us in the future. There is no time we can spare for discussing these vital issues which involve students or need their attention. This is the right time and therefore we must begin our mobilization of ideas and better strategies to deal with each and every challenge in a possible way.
Ngong, as you have recognized the importance to make students aware, that is truely the way we should do things if we want to reach the highest avenues in this dramatic world. To work in collaboration and co-operation with each other is fundamentally significant. Your topic and insightful contributions of Kuot and Ajith are worthy of appreciation or gratitude. If we think this way as you incredibly did, we won't experience arduous situations because we will have unity and genuine understanding. The important thing everyone should recognize in any community is that, what is expected from you and what you expect from others. If everyone thinks he/she is a part of group as whole, in this manner we can move ahead with few difficulties in the road. Again, I empasize, let's work together to establish and promote a caring and loving environment in the community/communities; the environment which would bring and consolidate our shattere abilities.
With respect to the dangerous and barbaric thugs which are called Baggara, I think they know we will come to them and we will seriously ask for a complete and ful compensation for anything that was lost in their illegitimate and stealthy war with Aweil area, or they will face catastrophic consequences. That is all and there is no compromise when it comes to the humiliating suffering of our people. I think we have tough and courageous commanders back home who can effectively deal with this situation, the major obstacle was this war between Arabs and Southerners. However, as the situation is subsiding to calmness, we will deal with Baggara from village to village and from city to city. They have to say "yeses" we will give you a full compensation, or they will have to undergo the same circumstances as we underwent. Those who were abducted, raped, killed, maimed, breasts cut off, amputated, shamelessly burned in their shelters, have sturd and courageous relatives and there is no doubt the consequences will be damaging and catastrophic. Otherwise there will be no a lengthy negotiation with barbaric Baggara and their allies. Inaction is not the case this time while Aweil community is bordering the dangerous and unmerciful communities in the South, we will avenge and moreover, we will fortify our area with sufficient number of active fighting troops to safeguard Aweil from bad guys. The bottomline is, those who made our people suffered with such an incredible humiliation must get a full punishment for their uncivilized and imperfect actions. The threat is there but the important thing to remember is unity and co-operation in Aweil. We will do all these situations only if we are united and co-operative in our endeavors and plans.
That is what we all ought to see such constructive topics are the sources of learning and building the relation and remember long term plans let both end meet however, you brothers in Khartoum know more than we do here in diaspora anythings pertaining the current situation in the Sudan and especially Sudan Government's plans are you people to fulfill us I don't have spare time as was mentioned by Kuot Kuot, Santino I'm also there as sort of busy and thank you Aher for your contribution.
Dear All Gos should understand that the Humanitarain crime commited to our people are easy to forget them,Last month Aweil Youth Union came up with proposal of conducting conference.And one of the issues was the relation with Baggara,They were opposed by Students and some elders like Akol Akol and Cdr Kwac Makui .I will make this cleae to all of you by next week. Student/Youth should play effective role during the interim period.Who will mobilised people during the referendum are the Students/Youth.Sudanese Students played great role in changing the government in khartoum. I think that,the reconstruction of South is the responbility of Students/Youth,We can work to our Nation without being paid like politicans.The construction of Streets,building of the Schools,HIV/Aids compaign. There are some southerners politican committed crime against our people.We need to reconcile them as brothers and open a new pages to them Finally,I would like to give thank to brother Mayik Aher for his great contribution Madingdit
This is just my opinion and observation which is not scientific.
"The re-construction of South." Ngong, we can talk of unity and peace in the South because they are vitally important for our better relation in the south, however it is impracticable if not impossible to take a general assumption of re-construction of South. Aweil community needs more attention from locals and government than any other communities/community in the south; because it is the most ravaged region in the south. We can not blame anybody for the destruction of Aweil area but the fact of the matter is, we must make it clear to everybody that Aweil requires a better security placed between its area and Baggara, Aweil also having been destroyed to a very foundation (dismantled to ground level) requires resources than other regions/region in the south. This is the fundamental issue because Aweil had been fighting two major wars while other communities had been fighting only one major war. Baggara, is the enemy that can't be unrealistically underestimated, we have to encourage our locals and leaders to take precaution measures to safeguard Aweil area from dangerous intruders. You can't move ahead with re-construction while the security for the areas of re-construction is fragile. The vital road to re-construction is a complete and unshakable security in the area. Therefore, Aweil security deserves a top priority amongst other things in the south. I devoutly hope we will a positive responses or answers from Spla/m administration and locals.
Further, after major war other regions will have a complete security but Aweil security will continue to be at risk for the fact that we are bordering a long term enemy whose war is not political one but economic in nature. The war aimed to crumble and dismantle the economic structure of the region. With respect to this likelihood of more risks, do you think we can compare our region with other region and presume that all regions require the same level of security? No, that can't happen at all. We don't need to do another colossal mistake. I suppose our leaders back home should bear in mind that the issue of Baggara is not an easy task. It is a huge issue which needs a full attention and decisive action. Therefore, I would discourage paying more attention to south rather than Aweil. I hope everyone knows that Aweil has been at more risk and is extremely likely to be at more risk immediately after peace. This is the factual reality of situation. We have a multitude of evidence to support this case when the time comes for us to discuss the security issues in the south as whole. The location of troops would also be vitally important after peace. The active fighting troops must be stationed where there is more risks, and this is only way to discourage Baggara from committing another serious crime.
Ngong, I also need you to talk to your colleagues to help you supplying us with vital information about NIF and Baggara unrealistic thoughts and tactics.
The bottomline is, Aweil needs a proper security before re-construction.
Thank for your enormous contributions which make this debate unstopable. You guys have addressed intellectual possibilities and approaches to this topic without any doubt to each and every point each of you has contributed. I therefore expressed my sincere gratitute to all of you for this fantastic discussion.
