24.01.2022 "It did not take the Southerners long to realize that they had been out-manoeuvred on the matter of the independence motion. In September 1956 a 46-man Constitu...tional Committee was appointed by the government to draft a new constitution. Of these 46 members, only three were Southerners: Bullen Alier and Stanislaus Paysama representing the Liberal Party, and Father Saturnino Lohure38 representing the Christian churches. The committee resolved in one of its by-laws that majority rule be adopted as the deciding factor39 in its deliberation," The Genesis and Struggle of the Anya-Nya in Southern Sudan By Prof Storrs McCall and Dr. Lam Akol See more

21.01.2022 The forthcoming title "One of his junior wives had deserted him; I was to bring her back. Failing that, Father threatened to withdraw the well over a hundred he...rd of cattle which he had paid for her two years earlier. Either they send me back my wife, or return my cattle, he had said. In fact, I had drafted a letter for my father to that effect. The mission was to be a follow up.I knew that Father did not really want a divorce and that he was using the threat to ensure the return of his wife. After Father left for a meeting of chiefs in the North, I decided to undertake the assignment. I asked my half-brother Zachariah Bol, and our cousin Kooch Aguer, to join me on the mission. Our step-mother, supported by her brother, refused to return home. We took advantage of her refusal and opted for divorce, mostly because we needed money for going to school and planned to sell some of the bride wealth cattle that would be repaid on divorce."

20.01.2022 SECRET OF SUCCESS (3) One of the key secrets of success is "Forgive and forget" because your struggle in life and, for better future mostly is hindered by attit...ude of unwillingness to forgive those who wronged against you or those who put you in some difficult situation of life. If you dont forgive, you will remain bitter and your bitterness will always remind you of the past. This will make you become weary and weak in the thought of mind and attitude of the heart, which leads to your failure. Lack of forgiveness reminds you constantly of your past or situations at hand, and as a result, you find yourself without time to think and plan for your future except grieving and feeling the pains of the situation you were put through by others. Forgiveness is not only the right choice for success but also a principle of success. Forgiveness brings blessings, peace, happiness, and healing to you, which are strength for you to do and, accomplish that which is impossible for you. True innermost freedom only come from forgiveness. If you forgive, then your inner being feels free not only with others but also with yourself. Choosing to forgive does not necessarily mean that those wronged against you must first be sorry and repent of their mistakes and wrongs against you. Sometimes forgiving is not necessarily going to that person and telling him or her, I have forgiven you. It is just letting it go without putting him or her any more in your heart, and reaching again to him or her with love, kindness as well as relating with him or her as if he or she never wronged against you. Forgiveness can take place not only on a verbal basis but also on nonverbal basis through your conducts and the way you relate with or to those who wronged against you. With forgiveness, you are simply choosing to love in spite of the pain you are put through, to humble your pride and to let go of resentment and revenge and retribution. Forgiveness is a principle of gratitude, giving, or meekness which is the key for success. If you dont have gratitude, humility, and generosity, success goes far away from you. The stage to forgive is a time when you are in your own courtroom, a presiding judge over the case that somebody wilfully or unintentionally hurts you and you have to pass your judgments to forgive or not - the choice is yours and yours alone. One thing you need to know is that the choice to forgive is for your own benefit and not for the benefit of your offender forgiveness is a better choice because of its advantages for your success in life. Forgiveness makes you feel free and not to be bitter and misery because bitterness and misery are dangerous heart infectious that may affect your whole being and kill your mentality. When your spirit is infected by lack of forgiveness your life will be misery, and your bitterness will affect your creative thinking. Bitterness is poison to the spirit and mind, and if it kills your spirit and mind, you will no longer achieve what you are capable of doing or achieving in your lifetime. In other words, you become mentally dead. People who are mentally dead are those that are capable of doing something great and better for themselves and the society, but because of certain circumstances of their life, they gave chance for their mind to be reduced to focus only on their miserable circumstance, and cannot think any more creatively. They no longer take chances of their common senses which are power of creativity in humans and an engine for human success. Feelings are part of human life. The need for justice is part of the feeling in which forgiveness seems to be contradicting. This makes forgiveness to be one of the difficult choices and at the same time very hard for humans. Forgiveness goes against your sense of pride because it is lowering yourself to be humble and accommodative to all the wrongs done against you and to let it go as if nothing wrong happened to you. To let it go as if nothing hurts you, and even not suffering from this very consequence of the wrongs committed against you. To forgive someone means to put on the spirit of love, mercy, grace, kindness, truth and humility despite the pains and hurts they put you through. Forgiveness is a beautiful spirit of God. When you choose to forgive those who wronged against you, God becomes proud of you and blesses you with a new spirit of strength and courage to restart a new life of peace and happiness that inspire your success. With forgiveness, you are surrendering yourself, your pains and sufferings - including those who wronged against you to God; and acknowledging Him as the judge of mankind and His will for humans, because nothing that happens either good or bad without His will, and knowledge. In my journey of struggle for a better life and future, I learnt how to forgive. ...... I also prayed to God to make others forgive me where I had wronged them as I forgave others... Forgiveness is very important for your own soul because it releases you from bitterness, and drags you gradually to forget your past and accommodate the present situations and to mind only the future life. If you dont forgive, you wont forget the situation and if you dont forget, you wont find peace inside you. Extracts from Chapter Six of my Book (LIFE MANIA)

12.01.2022 Forthcoming "Invisible Bridge: An African Journey through Cultures." Dr Francis Mading Deng

11.01.2022 If you have children below 18, this village story belongs to them. I am sure Peter Lual Deng will publish these Savanna Woodland Village stories sometime in fut...ure so thousands of kids can benefit from them, are you listening Lual Deng? The Village Fool and Arrogant Chief In the Savanna Woodland village lived a village fool and an arrogant Chief. The village fool was born into poverty and had no means of acquiring wealth. In this village, the poor had no say in the affairs of the community. The poor were not even invited into the community meetings where important matters were discussed and if they attended such meetings, they would not be allowed to talk as they had nothing worthy to offer in terms of ideas and materials. It was this cultural setting that this man was born in. He was so despised that he accepted his condition and started avoiding community gatherings and functions since everyone saw him as not worthy of a seat in community meetings or events. And so began his ordeal where he disgracefully earned his nick-name: the village fool. However, in this same village where culture was pro-rich and the wealthy, lived an arrogant Chief who saw this culture as a welcomed norm. The arrogant Chief had started aging and had begun contemplating on his successor. But despite his arrogance, he wanted the best candidate to lead the village after he was gone. His counsellors and advisors where eyeing his seat but he didnt see any of them qualified enough for the job. Then he devised an idea as he tried to find the right replacement for his seat. He conceived a difficult test with hope that the best mind would emerge among his community members that he could appoint as his replacement. After thinking over his difficult idea, he invited his village members for an important general meeting. Everyone came to listen to him. When everyone had gathered and seated, the Arrogant Chief raised up to address the gathering. My people, the Chief began. I invited all of you here today to inform you of a very important assignment I would like one of you to undertake. This assignment is very important for me but it has both great benefits and huge risks. He paused as everyone listened keenly. Have you seen that donkey over there? He pointed at a donkey that he had tethered at the vicinity of meeting venue. And have you seen these many cows over there too, actually 150 to be exact? He pointed at 150 cows he had also brought to the meeting venue. Anyone who would volunteer to teach this donkey how to talk within three years period will be rewarded with all these cows. But if you take on this assignment and in three years time, the donkey failed to talk, you will be executed. He paused as everyone looked at each other over the paradox of the assignment. I give you 30 minutes to think about it and if any of you decides to take up this assignment, please raise up you hand and come forward. The arrogant Chief concluded his comment and sat down on his big wooden chair. There was murmuring everywhere as people were discussing how possible one could teach a donkey to talk within three years and especially the penalty that comes with a failure to make the donkey talk during the specified period. The village fool who had attended this meeting and who was sitting at the very back of the meeting saw an opportunity in the arrogant Chiefs mission-impossible assignment. Despite his condition and the contempt associated with it, he was endowed with brain. He knew you could not conceivably train an animal to talk but you can train it to obey your orders. So he conceived a brilliant idea and decided to take on the challenge. The village fool raised up his hand and walked forward. The arrogant Chief just looked at him as he moved forward. The entire gathering was murmuring over the madness of this known village fool. The arrogant Chief shouted at everyone to keep quiet and suddenly the meeting venue went silent. I am ready to train and make the donkey talk within three years, honorable Chief. The village fool confidently announced. Did you really understand the conditions involved in this assignment? The arrogant chief asked him contemptuously. Yes honorable Chief, if I make the donkey talk in three years time, I would acquire this cattle wealth and if I failed to make the donkey talk during the same time frame, I would be executed. He emphasized. Well, it seems you know what you are doing and in that case I give you the assignment. Go over there take the donkey. I will summon you to bring it over in three years time to present your work. Good luck. The arrogant Chief concluded his remarked and he dismissed the meeting. The word of village fool taking on this impossible assignment went out like a wild fire. The entire village concluded that the village fool had finally displayed his foolishness in present of everyone. The village fool took the donkey and walked away with it. On his way, one of his friends in the village came over to him to find out if he was mentally sound: Are you out of your mind my friend? Why in the world would you take up such an impossible assignment? You have proven your stupidity to the whole village today my friend, rest in peace in advance. He concluded. The village fool looked at his friend scornfully then he said: look! None of us is in control of our destinies, three years is a long time, a lot of things can happen. For example, the donkey could die or I could die or even the Chief himself could die. Dont worry about me, I will execute this assignment as satisfactorily as the chief would like it done. Thank you though for your concern. He concluded and walked away with his donkey. Soon after the people in the village forgot about the village fool and his impossible assignment. The village fool who was skillful hunter, as his survival depended on bush meat and fruits, put his hunting skill into use. He started hunting for a male lion cub to steal from his mother. As luck had it, he was able to steal one newly born lion male cub and started feeding him in his house without the knowledge of anyone in the village. The lion started growing and as it grew, he started training him. He could command the baby lion in any way he wanted and, the innocent lion which knew nothing else in the world accept this man, started obeying the village fool and his commands. He could shout at the lion to run and the lion would run and shouted at him to stop and he would stop. He could order the lion to attack anything and the lion would attack and he could order him to stop attacking and the lion would do as ordered. In the second year as the lion had grown big, he was very happy with how much he had been able to tame the lion into his own liking. Then one day as he was happily looking at his tame male lion laying down asleep, the village fool found himself speaking alone in his head: People of this village and their arrogant Chief dont understand that they are the real fools, I will show them what a man with brain can do. A man cannot train an animal to talk but he can train him to obey him. I cant wait for the three years to elapse. He stopped as he realized he had mentally been speaking to himself for too long. The village fool cared and fed the donkey very well. He had also fed his tamed lion so well that the lion became huge and strong but he made sure, no one in the entire village discovered he was raising a lion. Then came the third year and the arrogant village Chief who had now reached advanced age sent a message for him to bring the talking donkey. A day was set for the entire village to come and listen to a talking donkey. The village fool was very happy that the big day had finally arrived. But the people in the village were preparing to witness the execution of the village fool on the material day because no one expected him to have succeeded in making the donkey talk. The excitement in the village was both mixed and unprecedented. Being the genius he was, the village fool had timed the sequent of his ideas and plans very well. He properly timed his arrival at Chiefs house. And so on the evening of a day before the D-day, the village meeting day, he came to arrogant Chiefs house to spent the night with the donkey. The Chief welcomed him and gave him a room to sleep in. The fatten donkey was tethered outside where it would spend the night. In the middle of the night, the village fool sneaked out of his room when everyone, including the Chief, was asleep and he went straight where he had secretly kept his tamed lion. He ordered his tamed lion to follow him. Upon reaching the Chiefs compound, he ordered him to attack the donkey and he quickly went to his room. The noise of a roaring donkey walked up everyone in the Chiefs house. The lion had already brought down the donkey and started shocking it with his powerful jaws. Everyone rushed out to see what was happening to the talking donkey and saw that it was being attacked by a powerful lion. People, including the Chief, rushed back to their rooms for fear of being attacked by the angry lion. But to the surprise of everyone running to the rooms for their dear lives, it was the village fool who charged forward and shouted at the lion in an incomprehensible language. The lion stopped attacking the donkey and remained lying down. The village fool came over and removed the rope halter with which the now dead donkey was tied to a wooden peg and tied it on the lions neck and tethered it on the same wooden peg. The lion, a well-trained, tamed animal, obeyed his master, the village fool. The village fool asked the chief to come out of his room assuring him that he had taken care of the situation. The Chief nervously came out of his room and he informed him that the donkey was regrettably dead but he had arrested the lion that killed him. He asked the Chief to go back to his room and sleep, telling him he would watch over the lion until morning. The Chief couldnt comprehend what had just happened but he went to his room where he spent sleepless night. In the morning all the Savanna Woodland villagers arrived to a meeting venue to witness a talking donkey or execution of a village fool who took up the challenge three years earlier. But to the surprise of everyone, the village fool came to the meeting venue fooling a huge lion with a rope. He was accompanied closely behind by the Chief. The village fool tethered the lion near the meeting venue, people were not believing what they were witnessing. The Chief began addressing the gathering. My people, the Chief began. Today, I am going to make a very important announcement but before I do that, I would like to inform you that this village has people you must be proud of. Have you seen this lion over there, it was arrested by one of your own? How many people in the entire Savanna Woodland region have the kind of power as to be able to arrest a lion? He paused. Last night, the village fool brought the donkey that he has been training for the last three years. Unfortunately, in the middle of the night as we were sleeping, this lion came and attacked the donkey killing him instantly. Seeing his three years effort destroyed at the very last day, the village fool successfully arrested the lion. The donkey died but the culprit is arrested and he is right here with us. The Chief paused again as people clap while many more cried out of happiness. If this man can arrest a fully grown male lion my people, who among us here can doubt that the dead donkey was not able to talk? The Chief asked. No one, no one, no one, no one... Came the answer from chorus of voices among the villagers. Then the Chief turned to the Village Fool with his head bowed down, saying: young man, my hat off for you, we misunderstood you, you were never a Village Fool, you were always the Village Genius, forgive us for misunderstanding you. Today, I crown you in front of the people of Savanna Woodland Village as their next Chief. I have been looking for my replacement since I am getting too old and can no longer deliver on behalf my people. Please use your intelligent to serve your people. Come and sit on this big wooden chair, it now belongs to you. Then the Chief turned to the people, saying: People of Savanna Woodland Village, from today onward, this young man, sitting on the big wooden chair here, is your next Chief, please support him so he can serve you better. Everyone clapped and shouted as women conducted the longest ululation ever, a true sign of acceptance by the standard of Savanna Woodland Village. And that is how the Village Fool became the Village Chief in the Savanna Woodland Village.
