Fellow Countrymen, It came to my alarming attention as a native of the border areas to realize that the deals being negotiated behind the curtain with NCP by Pagan Amum on behalf of Salva Kiir's presidency in an attempt to seek a murky and bogus deal of purchasing Abyei from North Sudan in monetary terms seems irritable and raise frowning faces among the indigenous natives of the border areas of Greater Ruweng and Abyei geopolitical sphere.
Another concerns being talked about and raised by Pagan Amum in his ambiguous deals with the NCP is also a question of whether the SPLM is also considering abandoning the occupied territories (Heglig and Karasana) of the Ruweng County to the North Sudan in exchange for a billion dollars package. There is a murky on-going deal behind the curtain between Pagan Amum and his NCP counterparts. This is sensitively troubling and SPLM must address and tackle these issues of border demarcation, territorial annexation, and Abyei with the popular consultations of both indigenous Abyei and Ruweng people respectively.
Moreover, I would also recommend that the SPLM under the representation of Pagan Amum's secretariat must abandon the diplomatic idea of appeasing the NCP counterpart to trade off the oil field facilities, oil share companies, transportation fees, and sharing of the old Sudan national debts equitably with RSS. This strategy of SPLM policy in appeasing NCP to diffuse the tension along the border and ease diplomatic relations and ties is not only endangering South Sudan but it emboldens the enemy aka the NCP counterparts to justifies and believes that they are strong and that they have the legality and legitimacy to be resistant and rebellious toward these deals however they desire it.
My stance is that there must be no financial billion deals with this foe at all and that all avenues of normalizing relations with the NCP through this economic package is a disgrace to Jenubiin and it empowers the enemy to acts as if they are triumphantly victorious and mocking bullies of the RSS. This SPLM policy is risky and it is selling off our territories of Abyei and Ruweng respectively. Instead of wasting those billion dollars to purchase those areas, it should be diverted for constructing South Sudan fundamental infrastructures across the ten states.
Abyei and annexed Ruweng lands of Heglig and Karasana must either be liberated through military means or else South Sudan must stockpile power to capture them in the future. Pagan Amum, under the SPLM Authority, must stop pushing this weak strategy. In conclusion, South Sudan may only discuss and share over the deliberation of the affordable pipeline transportation fees with the NCP counterparts but I believe in my opinion that the flawed SPLM policies of the RSS buying into the financial purchase of the Abyei and sale of annexed Ruweng territories such as Heglig and Karasana to South Kordufan, North Sudan is very troubling to the native inhabitants of Greater Abyei and Ruweng people spontaneously.
The anger is very high and tempering with these issues of border demarcation is very much a bloated dynamism ready to explode into a hostile circumstance that would perplex and baffle Juba sometimes. Finally, the SPLM must rejects to the idea of NCP asking the RSS to share in the repayment of the old Sudan national debts incurred during those old days. SPLM must blatantly refuse to be a party in the repayment of old Sudan national debts due to the facts that there had never been constructions and development of infrastructures in South Sudan like is the case in Northern Sudan.
Again, the national resources that were used to develop Northern Sudan in the past all come from South Sudan oil revenues. So it was South Sudan resources that had been allocated and utilized to develop Khartoum economically and to upgrade their military power and all the national needs, leaving South Sudan as an impoverished region in abject poverty and had never experienced a development let alone economic and academic infrastructures and ventures. Due to all the above justifications, I do believe that South Sudan does not deserve to share in the repayment of the old Sudan national debts, South Sudan had never been benefiting economically, academically, and developmentally from the old Sudan national revenues despite the fact that the whole North Sudan was being developed economically and developmentally with South Sudan oil and taxation revenues ever.
