The UN Human Rights rapporteur has not said anything new that the people of South Sudan aren’t aware of,” writes USSP's Secretary General, Dr Justin Ambago Ramba, in a commentary to the statement issued by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Sudan [Dr Sima Samar] as reported by Sudan Tribune [accessed by USSP on 06-Jun-2009]. “And even the solutions she is suggesting are (all) not different to what Southerners worldwide have been time and time again suggesting to our deaf GoSS,” he continues.
“What the international community do not want to say is that, besides the reported catastrophes, insecurities, sufferings and miseries facing the people in South Sudan, there also exists a poor level of governance. A government that is insensitive to the sufferings of its people. It is a government that is deaf, dump, mute, and blind.
Because by giving advice to such an incompetent government, is just waste of resources as none of the advices will ever be taken seriously.
This is true because all those things suggested by the UN rapporteur have already been suggested to the GoSS by their own citizens, unless of course this time it is coming from a foreigner.
And if this be the case, then the UN should better send us a “mental decolonizer”, rather than a rapporteur, so that we can have trust in ourselves.”
