The Golgotha: South Sudan 15 December 2013

By Jada Pasquale Yengkopiong

The Golgotha is the most up-to-date book written with the tone of bare truth that most people do not know. The book reveals the intentions and the effects of the SPLA/M Dinka-dominated tribal regime in South Sudan. This tribal leadership is different from all forms of leaderships that are known today. This tribal leadership is completely based on what Salva Kiir Mayardit and his godfathers, the Jieng (Dinka) Council of Elders think is right for South Sudan. In the SPLA/M Dinka-dominated tribal regime, the leader is surrounded by his tribesmen and everything is based on the tribal doctrine. As a result, South Sudan is no longer governed as a country but a tribal village. This tribal leadership caused the 15 December 2013 killing of the Nuer people in Juba and other parts of the country.

The book also reveals that the SPLA/M tribal leadership has aided its tribesmen with the necessary machinery to kill people from the other tribes. Most of these tribal killings have headed to rape of women and young girls, torture and looting of innocent people. Because of this tribal leadership, there is no more freedom in South Sudan. Because of this tribal leadership and the need for tribal domination, the people of South Sudan have been driven onto a crossroad of narcissism and tribalism. There is no more liberty or security for everyone but tribal despotism, fear, and mistrust.

Introduction:

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

The role of governments in every civilised society is to guarantee self-sufficiency and autonomy to the citizens of their countries. In South Sudan however, and in defiance to this universal epitome, the SPLA/M Dinka-dominated regime of General Salva Kiir Mayardit, commissioned by its tribal godfathers, the Jieng (Dinka) Council of Elders, guaranteed genocide to the people of South Sudan on 15 December 2013.

Acknowledgements

A big thank you goes to Lilly for taking the time to proofread the manuscript and for always reminding me to adapt a more liberal tone in writing the manuscript. Many thanks also go to my children, Gubek, Swaka, and Wani, for giving me the time to write down the events that took place in front of my eyes and on the watch of the world on 15 December 2013 in Juba, and thereafter in other parts of South Sudan.

Another big thank you goes to the circle of friends who chose to remain anonymous but have also contributed enormously to my understanding of the senseless conflict that engulfed the people of South Sudan. History will be told, but it will also continue to be told differently, and in most cases, those who contributed to the senseless tribal war will twist it for their own justifications. However, with this book, objectively written, the crimes committed against the people of South Sudan will always remain current for the good of the current and the succeeding generations.

Chapter One

The Human Selfish Gene

It is not entirely by coincidence that things happen the way they do in our society, and as I write in this office that I have confidently assumed to be mine, I must admit that we humans are not the most social of all living organisms. In this office, the staff are engaged in what they believe will make them better than their rival colleagues. They hope that by being overly differential, they would be favoured by the leadership team and be promoted to higher positions.

I have seen some staff engaged in backstabbing, and unethical gossips have become very common. Some staff have assumed superiority over others, and in the process, intimidation appears to occur, but on a limited scale. With this experience, I can say with some degree of certainty that when there is a mix of genotypes and phenotypes among people, there arises a bunch of irrational crooks -- characteristic of their selfish genes. These crooks can go to greater length of making the life of their colleagues extremely miserable. With this experience, again I am made to come to the idea that humans are completely mad and to assume that they are more intelligent than apes or other animal species, conceivably, require more scrutiny of such an egoistic theory.

We know that there are the most social insects like the ants and bees, from which we have not witnessed any crimes against their fellows. These insects, for better and for worst, have cooperated for the good of all their kind and throughout their lives. In comparison, somehow humans are the stupidest of all organisms, given the size of their brain, though smaller than that of a whale, because they have not used it for the good of all. Still, after having unilaterally promoted ourselves to the highest level of intelligence, we have become the most dangerous animal species on earth. We kill our fellow humans because of money and power, which we know, never protects us.

Although we live together in families, communities, tribes, cities, and nations, behaving and thinking according to the rules and standards of our families and communities, adopting the customs of our fellow humans, including the facts they believe in and the explanations they use to tie these facts together, we are still never social and liberal in our thinking. Truly, we have never cooperated for the good of mankind -- we are just after power, money and domination.

Deep in our hearts and in our minds, we do not want the influence of people from other families, communities, tribes, or races. Even when we are alone, we think about other people, not because we like them, want to be like them, or make them our friends but because we want to influence these people and infiltrate them, and where possible, to subject them to follow our own ways of thinking and life. This human trait, whether it is by instinct or by intent, became a turning point in the social and political consummate of the people of South Sudan on 15 December 2013.

Today is Sunday, 15 December 2013, and it is now 8 p.m. As I sit in the darkness of this house, I am utterly in total chock and fear. At the moment, I am not sure what is happening in Juba, but the city is in extreme fragility. What I see is insanity, and I cannot believe what is happening right now in front of everyone's eyes.

Some people are confused, and they are running in all directions, seemingly not knowing which is the right direction to run to or the right thing to do. Some are squatting on the side of the road to urinate or defecate, but there is no urine or faeces. There is gunfire in the former military barracks. It is now 9 p.m. and the shooting has intensified and spread everywhere; the bullets are hitting the walls of buildings from every direction.

The civilians and the innocent people are in
