Scandal of the year, Nyandeng Garang in spotlight!

Dear Kuot Kuot,

Though we still need more credible information to confirm the authenticity of this sumptuous and glutonous incident. They (Nyandeng and her kindreds) might have done it but who would risk his/her life to investigate the issue. Nobody would be courageous enough to interrogate the accused since the vast majority of Southerners is inflicted with fear.

In fact a lot of bad things had happened before in the South but they passed like nothing bad had actually happened. This stealthy and robbery incident might elude the public condemnation.

Kuot, Nyandeng and her kindreds want to establish what the experts would call the "aristocracy of wealth."

US3.5 million is going to Europe while South disabled are stranded with crutches and many more amputees with no crutches. It is interesting history. I like their administration.

Wow, i hope this is not true, just think about the impact this story will have on the movement(SPLM/A) supporters faith in the leadership, but i still believe that we have to give these people the benefit of the doubt until they are proven, for fact, guilty which i very much doubt it. Let's just use common sense, if any body has that amount of money and wants to take to another country, would he/she carries the money in a bag or wire it to an account?, i think this story is nothing but defamation from special intrest groups trying selfishly to divide the nation in this critical times.

nothing but love

I first want to say lets keep in mind that, there are people who dont like the way the southern communties are at his point. so they could be doing things just to divide the communities. I personaly dont belief this story. the way it's told. because it does not really make sense for Nyandeng to care that huge amount in a bag. And if she really had that kind of money wouldn't she at least deposit it into account. lets think about first before we even judge her. just like kuat said it maybe some type of publication, or internet source who are just trying to spread our nation at this point.

Dear Atong Ajal.,

First of all welcome to the board, like I said to Atong Ateny, your joining the board is uniquely vital. Most people were wondering if lacking the girls on the board implied lack of girls who can write in Aweil community, that concern is now addressed. You girls have a big role to play but you can't do it unless you join your bros in many activities including forums like this. You also need to encourage other girls to be begin redefining themsleves and their roles. One can't play a game unless he/she trys it, goes the saying, in the same vein, you girls won't do your part unless you start now for now is the time. Thanks for your perspective on the article in question, I can't comment on it now, I will do so tomorrow.

Dear brothers

In resond to Scandal of the year,Nyandeng Garang in spotlight.

We better know it too much sothat we corrects ourselves when another oppression is to be champion in southern Sudan under the tyrannical leadership of Garang and Nydeng de Mabior.however we need not to surprise because Garang and commender Nyadeng have been exercising this prerogative from time to time since the beginning of our movement[SPLA]because Nyandeng and her family are living in maximum material comfort with their relatives.

I as individual suggested that putting our efforts and attention to discuss this as any issue could be waste of our breath and time.because i know very well that nobody is going to listen or correct the mistake that he/she has committed,because, Nyadeng already believe that the leadership of her husband is ordained by God or determined by the nature,without knowing that the leadership was just fashioned by certain people at certain time.

therefore,my question to all of you is ,what could we do to our disables people as a community [Aweil] since the money that supposed to be use for rehabilitation of disabilities purposes has ran away with Nyadeng de Mabior.

God bless you all

Dear Dut According

As an answer to your question of what are we as Aweil community to do to help the disable, "people who are in desprate need of help." Now that Nyandeng ran away with the money?

I sugesst that we first wait and see if the rummor we heard about Nyandeng ran away with the money is true or not, and than we could have a farther discussion on this topic.

Good bless you all

Dear all,

I think this topic is being faithfully discussed with respect to Aweil people insightful perspectives. Some have expressed their doubts because the way money went to Europe was inappropriate and thuggery. They believe that Nyandeng could do but not in that way.

Furthermore, I would like to give my special gratitude and appreciation to some of our courageous and optimistic girls. I genuinely appreciate your decision to join your brothers. That is a correct move we need to happen. We all have stake in what we want to happen; therefore, we must all move together at equal footing. Your participation along with us will be extremely helpful in solving our internal problems, it will increase our power and ambition to reach high avenues in this dramatic world.

Girls, let me tell one saying in African belief. It is said that if you find a strong and powerful man, don't attribute that strength to man, but attribute that power to the woman behind that man. The Africans believe that the man is strong only if there is a strong woman behind.

Therefore, we are Africans and we want you girls/women to behind us so that we are strong and powerful men. We indeed want you behind us. You have right instruments to fight along-side men to collectively achieve our definite goals in that forgotten and ravaged city of Aweil.

Dear all,

This is a very good topic. There is no smoke without fire. I will express my views later on, kind of busy right now.

Dear sisters Atong Wek and Atong Ajal,

I genuinely welcome you both to Mading Aweil public forum. Please feel homely and share your ideas with borthers herein. I am extremely glad to see you on this board because it was seen as a male dominated one like mr. Kuot Kuot put it across. So your present here is vital. I look forward to see you involve in all discussions.

Atong AJal and Atong Ateny,

First and foremost, I would like to tell you that there is nothing more important than your present here at Aweil discussion forum. Your contributions will give a new and transformative fashion to our community, constructive and creative changes will appear due to diversified ideas. It is encouraging or motivating thing because it gives our people a sense of a progressive motion toward constructive changes. And equally important you will send a strong message to other girls/women who haven't joined yet. Furthermore, most people will learn that Aweil girls/women are on their own feet and they are therefore capable of speaking for themselves without asking for external or foreign help. This is unquestionably a tremendous change in our community and most of us are very proud to have such determined and optimistic girls/women who have sacrifice their precious time to help members of their community. Today, we all see a sense of transition in Aweil. We are moving toward a new society where people will be judged by what they know and not by sex. This is the factual reality of what we all need to create a prosperous and healthy community. It would be a collosal mistake if we continue circumscribing or damarcating lines between women and men. We need Aweil effort so that we can effectively handle each and every challenge. I can't affirm but I think that we would be better off if we combine our efforts, we will surely consolidate our destinies and thereby putting us on the road to better futures or tomorrows. Let's understand and digest the importance of keeping the Aweil people vigilant about the need for swift and constructive changes. A people effort is vitally important at this particular time. It is only hard or difficult time that produce strong or weak people. Let's be the former of this unique situation we have stumbled into.

Lastly but not the least, We want you to persuade many more girls/women you know to join the website. Tell them to vislualize themselves as successful and intellectual girls that the community is badly in need of them. It would be a wonderful achievement for you.

Dear all,

It is extremely difficult to defend people who have a long history of corruption.

The question is, what can be done about it and not didn't they do it?

Kijana Dhor · Intermediate Contributor

Guys!

I was just only impressed with this dealings.

"The amount was intended to be changed into sterling pounds for purchase of a 1.0 million sterling pound house in Norwich, where Dr. Chol Dau, Garang’s first cousin, who is the man, assigned to collect millions of dollars every year from the Malaysian oil Company,exploiting oil in upper Nile Region of South Sudan for the SPLA leader in return for SPLA not to destroy its oil operations."

Kuot Kuot,

I wish I could be one of the militia leaders in Upper Nile. This could be a greenlight to threaten Malaysian Oil company to negotiate a secrete deal with them and get some royalties. Sound good??????? anyway just kidding!

Back to the heart of the matter, these are folks who are leading easy lives with money from sympathetic donors contributing to the cause of Southern Sudanese traumatized by the evil intents of the NIF regime. The fact of the matter is, there is nothing new here in the story since it is ongoing dealings in the entire life time of the Movement.

Before I retire to my bed, let me welcome our sister Atong and brother Dut According to the forum. Great to have you gentleman and young lady.

See ya!

Dhor aBun.

Dear Tong Deng,

I don't know what your decision to refer members to Gurtong board means but assuming that you wanted to inform them (members) of Jacob Akol's decision to delet this same topic, I will tell you that, Gurtong board and Mading Aweil board are two independent entities. What is good or bad for Jacob Akol (moderator at Gurtong) may not necessarily be good or bad for Moderators at Mading Aweil board. Having said that, we here at Mading Aweil board see no sin in letting public know of an issue like this whether be it hoax or true, after all members are mature enough to tell between what is true and what is not. On top of that, the same story is circulating virtually on every major forum of disussion including southern Sudan net, Sudan.net, southsudan.net to name but a few. So it is ridiculous and naive to assume that by deleting this article as it was done by Jacob, members and the wider public will not be able to hear of it. We are not here to censor anyone, if Moderators at Gurtong have decided to embark on censorship, who cares, they see the world in different lenses from us. Again it is worth adding that, Mading Aweil board is not a mouthpiece of anyone. I hope I have addressed your concerns.

Dear kuot Kuot

Please allow me to ask you to cool down. I don’t make decision on this board to tell you what to do; I am a contributor like any others members in yourself included and that what I have done on the present topic. The letter in question was written by some body else not you and you did carry the responsibility to forward it to this forum. Don’t you know that I deserved an equal right to link what was discuss in Gurtong discussion board or other forum to your forum as you did to forward the said letter to this board.

So buddy don’t rush to conclusion by assumed that I am suggesting for you to delete. The decision is yours rather to keep it or delete and I have nothing about any decision you may take. Mine is to say my point of view or what might be my opinions in regard to the topic which I haven’t done yet.

Thanks for your understanding.

All the best

Dear, Tong Deng & Kout Kout

I just want to tell you both that, this is just a miss understanding. and every each one of us have their own belief on things. And that dont mean you have to agree with their opinion on certian things.So its okay for each one of us, as a weil citizen to express our though in this discussion board as long as you, set at clear and explain that is just you oown prospective on the issues.

At last but not the least i want to say that, if we all just keep in mind that we have the equall right or freedom of speech on this Discussion board, im sure will get along just find.
lets all have respect for one another.

God be with you all

Tong Deng,

Interpretation or speculation is not scientific view. It can be factual reality as speculated or it can be false as speculated.

I appreciate your clarification with respect to your intent as a member of the forum. That was an excellent response to Kuot's speculation or misinerpretation for that matter. I believe kuot had no intention of misjudging you, but he wanted to tell you that Aweil Forum is independent of other forums. Therefore, what is being done in other forums can't affect our forum either negatively or positively irrespective of whatever action they take. Kuot just wanted to show that disparity to you in a good faith. Now I hope we are on the road to a better understanding of messages forwarded and the views of this forum.

Kuot,

I think Tong Deng has done a tremendous job in relation to the forwarded messages from Gurtong. He is very honest with his intent.

Atong Ajal,

I appreciate. That was a nice and courageous interposition between our brothers.

We have to keep personal disagreements down.

Dear Tong Deng,

Accept my apology if I misunderstood you brother. I totally have no problem whatsoever with you having provided that link, I was not simply pleased with the degree of hypocrisy I saw at Gurtong. People reacted to this issue as though this is the first time we have seen an issue of this nature. I wonder what makes this matter this unique, is it because the person implicated in the matter is a wife of John Garang or what? Take it easy bro; I don’t have any problem with you. I was reacting to what I saw at Gurtong, not to you. Thanks for understanding.

Dear Kuot Kuot

I am sorry for replying late due to the fact that I didn't check my mails during the weekend. Thank you very much for your response. Your apology is well received and accepted. I am not in position to go into loggerhead with someone like you or other in this forum while the letter in question is from anonymous source. In the political rally here in Nairobi, Cdr. James Wani mentioned clearly to all the congregation of Sudanese that such kind of letters are designed in connection with our enemy with intention to divide us and that exactly what might have happened between you and me had have response as you did. When I saw your response to me regarding the link I provided from Gurtong. First of all I looked back to what we were told and I said to myself if I response to Kuot using the same attitude while the members in this forum are not going to benefit in this kind arguments and is not necessarily of important to rather Kuot or me. Due to the reason I have mentioned above I choose not to follow the step you have taken to address me. In the first place the message is not originally from you so that it can be seen as you are defending your right (letter) and letters from Gurtong were not initiated by me. So I could really see reason why we should fight.

Atong Ajal, thank you very much sister, your advice are well received. We are here to advise one another.

Mayiik, thank you for intervention we have reach the stage whereby we should say the trusts to ourselves.

All the best

What a funny story!

It's hard to believe though because BBC. is a media that doesn't care whether you are first lady or not they must broadcast. However, it's hard to deny given the details but it's not striking enough to begin to believe. Without question it's likely to happen but whether this particular incident is true remains to be investigated.

Dear Garang Kout and all

Frist of all, how goes it's to everyone? I don't want to open my mouth yet before that young man answer himself.This is absolutely what I said as a response to my good Mayiik's posting asking abuot the peace propuse.And if I remember what I wrote and of coruse i remember because i was there when i said it.I said the peace will not be succeful unless Garang get the among of noney he need to build the fence around BOR..... I bet you brother and sister what we have in hand is not all of it, there are more to learn. Ladies and Gentleman this man don't want peace, and you think he is for it, what in chirst's name do you think he want to arrest Kiir in a last minute. But Idon't you want get me, wrong I am not here to back up Kiir from his misconduct, he must go jail if he made a mistakes that the pirnciple, but the fect is you can not right a wrong when you are also ten times wrong.

Dear all,

Like most of you, the recent allegations and insupportable irrationality respecting to SPLA/M leadership stung me. I am convinced that something must be going askew in the movement, now that the peace talk is at hand. But why at the dearest time, especially when the peace process is bound to bearing fruits.

Back to the standing ignominy, I doubt if Mrs. Nyandeng could carry such a massive sum of money without depositing it in her windfall bank account. If she did, she is an idiot. Her unpatriotic action should be exposed to the fullest. My goodness, she could not deserve that ponderous amount of money! Maybe, she is another Mrs. Mbuto Sesiko or Mrs. Suhya Arafat--- Their deceased husbands squandered public funds.

When all was said and done, what can we learn from recent scandals in the SPLA/M should the accusations prove truthful?

That things will get worse before they become better;
"siku za Mwizi ni Arobini" (thief’s days are numbered);
That peace is drawing near;
That Southerners won’t be fooled for long by the SPLA/M upper crusts; and
That the forces of pro-movement (SPLA/M) and Anti-movement are on the rise.

Oh, no, I should not speculate. Let me mind my Q’s and P’s. Shouldn’t you?

In short, we should, if you will, observe restraint and wait for more evidence before we impeach Nyandeng and Garang. Peace is to the New Sudan.

Yours truly,

James Alic Garang.
