WAGING PEACE IN SOUTH SUDAN

By: Adier Mach Deng.             For over half a century , South Sudan has been steeped in civil war.  The streets are strewn with innocent, unarmed bodies — mostly young lives, snuffed out by the demagoguery and tyranny of a loosely structured, non-constitutional government that is constantly at loggerheads with tribal governance.  The present conflict that rages across the land arose out of dissention within the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (“the SPLM”).  Former Vice President Riek Machar’s dismissal from President Salva Kiir Mayardit’s cabinet not only generated strife among rival political factions, but a torrent of civil unrest among South Sudan’s various ethnic groups.             The crises that Sudan confronts cannot be resolved on political or ideological grounds.  Rather, focus must be placed on the multitude of challenges that direct...

Should Apple allow iTunes songs to play on non-iPod MP3 players?

The answer to this question is a “No” and or a “Yes”. The long life of iPod and iTunes is promising. The company continues to invest heavily on apps that aim to combine the best features of disparate apps, offering a mix of unlimited streaming, live radio and social hubs.   While we cannot browse Apple Music’s library today, in comparison with its rival, the Spotify, Apple offers over 30 million songs, and will probably match just about anything you can currently get on iTunes. If this trend continues uninterrupted, it will amount to a similarly massive library to that of Spotify. To opinionate, Apple should not allow iTunes songs to play on non-iPod MP3 players because sticking to the way it is places Apple music at a niche. A review of the music industry conditions would help answer this snagging question. The industry conditions that led to the revolution of audio distribution were the development of algorithm.  the trends from 1998–2003,” International Data Corporati...

A Shift from Neo-Colonialism to Corporatization!

Political and advocacy groups in the United States, Asia, and Europe are facing challenges about globalization and are rallying the public toward consensus. They are trying to convince citizens that globalization is just not a game between rich and poor but a network between countries who are gearing for a fair-trade of products and services. The amalgamations of this ideologue have two sides. First, this trading of goods and services does not mean that it is fair. Second, what is good for one country may not be good for the other countries, for instance, here in the United States, white color jobs have been outsourced since the 1980s and there is still an inequality of production and allocation of goods and services. Manufacturing have lost more than 7 million jobs and economist believe that manufacturing has shrunk from a high 29 percent of the GDP in 1950 to the lows 11 percent of the GDP today. The outsourcing of manufacturing jobs took place because developing nations such as I...

December 15th: South Sudan's Sad Day!!!

            The largest country of Sudan was divided into two separate political entities on July 9, 2011. It became two countries namely, the Republic of South Sudan and the Republic of Sudan. The statistics on Sudan before partition was that, it had an area of more than 2.5 million km2 and it was Africa’s largest country. Its inhabitants were 39.3 million divided over 57 ethnic groups, each with their own language and dialects. On December 15th, 2013, gunfire erupted in the South Sudanese city of Juba. At the scene, several soldiers were instantly killed and numerous others injured. The next few hours were punctuated by spread of violence in the city, with authorities concluding the event as being an attempted coup. The battle eventually took an ethnic dimension. Targeted killing ensued between the Nuer and the Dinka in Juba and elsewhere in the country.             However, m...

Current Events in South Sudan: Are you disappointed?

I share my disappointment with millions of South Sudanese from all walk of life. The country we fought for and sacrificed for so long has now been broken up into sand-like pieces and shopped into pockets by the ungrateful elite. These ungrateful where once upon a time during the civil war led us into a war that has taken a toll on our generation and has stain our traditional belief and values. South Sudan used to be a place where you can drop your wallet on the ground and no one will take it until you can find it! Now, you are robbed at daylight.   The current state of the nation have pitted traditions against traditions, brothers against brothers, tribe against tribe, social construction against each other’s and so forth. These practices are the product of the ungrateful elite who sees citizens as properties that they can use and dispose at any time they feel fit. They are our current leaders who for so long have shamed us by not standing with us (the have not) in order to...
