Thank You: What Letter Did I Write?

53 Manor Parkway, Apt#B.
Rochester, NY 14620

March 29th, 2013


Dear Mrs. Betsy and Mr. Arthur Malone,
I am writing this thank you letter on behalf of Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon. It is not because he could not write it. However, he courteously asked me to write it for him since he is graduating this Spring 2013 from Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York(USA).
Lual and I, are very related, especially on the side of my biological father, but in America, this distant relationships would sound something much confusing and/or awkward to average Americans. My biological father, Mr. Wuor Deng Jok’s mother is from Paduon section of Dinka-Kongor ethnic groups in Africa. And Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon, and his father are from Paduon section within Dinka-Kongor ethnic groups in South Sudan in Africa. This is the very reason why I said it from very time when you were processing his domestically adoption paperwork through our US immigration office. You once said that you will adopt Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon as foster young men. You once asked me how I related to him in one way or another. Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon, and I asserted that we are distant cousins. I believe this is what he probably said to you when he was first residing in the City of Rochester with one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, by the names, Mr. Atem Biar.
Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon wanted to appreciate you since you had tremendously helped him finishing his High School studies. He will also proceed to achieve a technological degree from one of the technical colleges, especially from our accredited college of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Without your help and advice, Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon  could not have made it since English language learning is not his first language. With your present and relentless support, this is what will make him acquire his technological degree. He has the strength to achieve something greater to which I think that he has outpaced his deceased father, Mr. Akoi Anyuon, who is nicknamed as Mr. Akoi-’yahn’. And He is also survived with his mother, and siblings, who are still alive in UNHCR-Kakuma Refugees Camp in Kenya in Africa. He probably did not achieve everything. He left a big family behind to which they were once growing up with him in the South Sudan until they got married. Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon probably has  other siblings.
Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon’s deceased father was very hard working person. And he was referred to as Akoi-’yahn’ in the Dinka-Kongor community, especially in the village/town of Pawel, Twic East County, Jonglei State in South Sudan in Africa. He was probably a strong man. He was also a great wrestler. Of course, his deceased father was the man of the people with great perseverance, and strengths. He had a determination in whatever he wanted to achieve in his life. Most of the Paduon section people within Dinka-Kongor Community had respected, and/or revered him a lot in everything ranging from people’s person to wrestling. And today they still remember him as a people's person. With that perseverance, this is what Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon had shown through all these years of his studies. He has a humongous vision to accomplish something bigger in comparison to what his survived family including his late father, Mr. Akoi Anyuon, had once attained in life. He left him with single mother, who is now supporting Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon’s siblings in the South Sudan in Africa. It is this spirit and hard-work ethics that his late father and single mother had shown them. They had to work tirelessly without giving up, even though it is harder to achieve and to accomplish.
America as it was known as ‘new world’ is not an easier place to survive alone without adoptions. If you do have people that you knew already, and then they will help you through resettling, enculturation, and adjustment to the place. Of course, you could still make it without struggling with ‘drop out experience. Mr. Luai Akoi Anyuon had shown the idea of ‘exceptionalism.’ This idea of exceptionalism once denoted that if you work hard enough without bouncing back, and then you could achieve something beyond a horizon.  This is what ‘naked eyes’ might have implied. He liked what he did academically to which he will get his technological degree from the four years College studies, especially from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) combined with his Wilson Magnet High School’s diploma. He had probably done two years preparation studies from SUNY-Monroe Community College (MCC) in Rochester, New York.
As you know, Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon first landed in Nashville, Tennessee. He came from UNHCR-Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya in Africa. And this was a place, where he first humbly adjusted to the new experiences and new learning curve. He had to adapt to the culture to which he found. I do not remember exactly what year, the U.S Citizenship, and Immigration Services(USCIS) had brought him here. However, he probably came in the same year ranges when I first landed in New York, NY. He likely was airlifted to the Rochester, New York, in 2001. I did not ask Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon, but almost all of Four thousand and eight hundred (4,800) young men previously known as ‘lost boys” from South Sudan came in 2001 with variation only in month interval.
Anyway, I will need to go back to point, Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon felt so appreciative and thankful for magnificent work and relentlessly help. You had graciously shown him kindness through all these years of studies and adjustment to this environment. Without your help, Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon, could not have made it to obtain and accomplish something to which he will feel proud for the rest of his life since education is not something simple. It is a piece of paper. However, it meant a lot since it is what society came up with to use and show when you are looking for an employment.
Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon mentioned to me that mother Betsy Malone’s sister had passed away this year. And Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon had told me about it. He thought I should mention you both on how he felt. Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon truly expressed his condolences, eulogy, and prayers since he is one of your family members. Although he did not accompany you for a trip for Florida to join the family, Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon deeply felt disheartened and discomfort. This is because of that huge lost in the family of Mr. Arthur, and Mrs. Betsy Malone. I know that you relentlessly believe in him. He will graduate soon from Rochester Institute of Technology(RIT).
We had legally filed for name change affidavit in the Supreme Court of New York. We probably have the same refugee resettling’s family given last names. And this must be what will utmost surprise you a lot for years. It is not only Mr.Lual Akoi and me, Mr. David Deng Wuor(a.k.a Mr. David Bul Garang). However, it is what is happening to most of our colleagues, especially the Lost Boys of Sudan across America, who came through Refugee resettlement program as ‘Lost Boys’ of South Sudan from UNHCR-Kakuma Refugees Camp in Kenya. It happened because this is how we came and few ‘Lost Boys’ of South Sudan came to the United States with their actual surnames to which their family members gave them. It will take several years to finally update surnames from all previous refugee agencies starting from United Nations Higher Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), International Organization for Immigration (IOM), International Naturalization Services(INS), and the US Citizenship and Immigration Service(USCIS), and United States Catholic Conference for Bishops (USCCB). And lastly we should update everything starting from local agency like Catholic Family Center(CFC) respectively. Therefore, our personal information, and employment verifications, have already become distorted all along since UNHCR-Kakuma Refugees Camp in Kenya until we entered into USA. However, it is still who we are as long as you remember your KES case number and Social Security number. We will suffer from credibility, but there is nothing we could do. Majority of the Lost Boys of Sudan, who were airlifted to the Canada and to Australia, will not suffer from the ‘name change’ syndrome.
It is also my pleasure that Mr. Lual Akoi Anyuon asked me to prepare this ‘thank you letter’ for his host family. I felt so proud of him that I became part of his RIT graduation ceremony after my two years trip for South Sudan in Eastern Africa.


With Appreciation,

CHAPTER 5. United Nations Missions in South Sudan (UNMISS): Peace Building, and Monitoring of 1983-2005 CPA Agreement in Naivasha in Kenya, stories

 The UNMISS were sent and dispatched on the mission to monitor the 1983-2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) protocol mandate in South Sudan.  And they were dispatched on the peacebuilding consignments to South Sudan. Of course, they were sent for Protection of Civilians (POC) as stipulated in UN Charter book Chapter VII after the Civil Wars torn Country of South Sudan signed agreements with Old Sudan in 2005 in both Naivasha, and Machakos in Kenya. They were meant to stop interim power struggles between the South Sudan, and Old Sudan in 2005 in Naivasha, Kenya. And yet, the Protection of Civilians (POC) has had become their focal points as UNMISS arrived in the South Sudan’s soils in 2005. Therefore, they have had placed 2005 CPA Agreement as their top priority in the United Nations’ Charter book Chapter VII administration’s peacebuilding in Africa.

As UNMIS arrived in South Sudan after long deliberation and contemplations, they found South Sudan and North Sudan’s Joint Integrated Unit (JIU) forces fused together. And they are stationed in the Abyei border on the mission to protect 2005 CPA Agreements’ protocol mandate. These JIU forces were like ad hoc forces in the South Sudan’s Government of National Unity (GONU) to which they later dissolved after 2011 referendum election. In 2011 this was the referendum vote, where the Republics of South Sudan, had seceded from Old Sudan by fifty plus-minus margin of errors, and voter turnouts of Plurality Representations (PR) elections. Although these JIU forces were serving in the area of Abyei territory, Nuba Mountains, and Blue Nile area, they were meant to serve without their vested interests. And as citizenship was required, these UNMISS peacekeeping forces were drawn from International Communities to South Sudan in Africa. And they were also drawn from North Sudan. They unlikely expected to put keep their peacekeeping mission together. Regionally and Internationally, they have had brokered the 2005 CPA peace deals as it is stipulated in the January 9^th, 2005 Naivasha in Kenya CPA six protocol mandates of IGAD green book manual. This potential factor within JIU forces, alluded that the UNMISS peacekeeping and building forces are expected to bridge this hidden agenda factor. This might lead to Sudan’s Civil Wars again. It should be seen as catastrophically, direly, and unspeakably violation of 2005 CPA six protocol mandates for 2011 referendum votes after they had served their six(6) years terms interval.

The UNMISS did not come to resolve domestic violences. However, they came to monitor 1983-2005 CPA Agreements’ protocol mandates, which are stipulated in the Inter-governmental Authority and Development (IGAD) green book manual. Although they go from one state to other within South Sudan, they were not meant to stop domestic violences. They unlikely interfered and confronted any South Sudan’s 10 States of Jonglei State, Upper Nile State, Unity State, Warrap State, Lakes State, Northern Bhar-el-Ghazel State, Western Bhar-el-Ghazel State, Central Equatorial State, Eastern Equatorial State, and Western Equatorial State, where domestic violence, devastated.  This was extremely rampaged atrocities over cattle rustling, children abduction, and women kidnappings. Murle ethnic group from Pibor County, Jonglei State in South Sudan became a distressing scapegoats in this domestic violences. And it was pinpointed out that in every States like Jonglei state, Upper Nile State, and Unity State of Upper Nile regions that Murle Ethnic groups are worst intruders in keeping domestic violence go skyrocketing.  Both States of Jonglei State, and Lake State in the riparian of river Nile basins had become the pivotal victims in this domestic violence to which the both UNMISS and South Sudan’s SPLA Army forces compiled in their databases. They daily make reports on this shocking domestic violence during the 2013 South Sudan’s Post Civil Wars.

This domestic violence to which Murle ethnic group were reported as a criminal intruders, and highly problematics in Jonglei State’s peace of minds. And the citizens’ public safety, and tranquility became a priority among the UNMIS administrations and government of South Sudan. Question, it became on how to stop these ongoing domestic violences to which single ethnic group like Murle Ethnic groups, and Nuer Ethnic groups are negatively stigmatized as optimum dangerous to the welfare of people in South Sudan. And they are officially compiled, but their issues are defied to the conventions by NGOS in South Sudan. They probably defied this ethnic cleansing issue, to which actions are instigated by local ethnic groups within Jonglei State, Warrap State, and Lake State in South Sudan in Africa.

Local people from Twic East County, Jonglei State, South Sudan’s testimonial, stories

Awak Bior Diing once said

I saw UNMIS soldiers back in 2005 when 1983-2005 CPA Agreement was signed. And yet, I have had never seen them, again. I did not ask why they were here for. Perhaps, they came for peace buildings. They drove by for peace keepings. There was still 2005 South Sudan, and Sudan’s CPA Peace dividends. Their instigating actions are probably premature. The UNMIS only are stationed in the village/Town of Panyagor in South Sudan. However, they did not walk to this village here in the village/Town of Pawel within Kongor Payam districts in Twic East County, Jonglei State in South Sudan. And I did not know whether they headed to other villages, or not rather than this village of ours. I was so curious to see them. And maybe I should greet them, or shake their hands if they ever come to our village.

On the question of ‘local Peace Initiative’, Awak Bior Diing once said

Peace was done or made between Dinka community, and Nuer community. Since there was historical tension on cattle stealing, this might have had dated back to between 1991 and 1993 the Nuer Ethnic groups’ tribal clashes. They both used to point fingers across on themselves to which they decided to settle cases in 2003. The Churches and local Payam Chiefs from both Communities have had called for Peace initiative so that they stop the problems of cattle raiding apart from the ongoing of frequently Murle tensions of cattle raiding primarily in Jonglei state in South Sudan. Well, they agreed to settle cases of cattle raiding. And they both said that they will handle that, but later in few years after the contingent issue of cattle raiding have had resumed again until now. We never had pin-down nobody. And we do not know cattle raiders whether they might still come from the Nuer community, or not. We have had drafted a Peace initiative with them.

Ajang Nyuop Bol once shared his testimonies

On my way to the village/Town of Panyagor, I saw two (2) big trucks carrying UNMISS peace building troops heading to the village of Pawel in South Sudan. Probably, they were proceeding for village/Town of Bor in Jonglei State in South Sudan. There were two (2) heavy caravans, five (10) convoy trucks, and one (1) fuel tank. Of course, they might be monitoring the 2011 referendum. Since people are contemplating for six(6) years term’s secession votes, they will decide to vote whether to secede from Sudan, or vote for unifications of Sudan. The South Sudan has a historical trend of fighting for Sudan’s two decade of Civil Wars.

Major Ayuen Anek, SPLA Force, who was stationed in the village/Town of Panyagor in Twic East County, Jonglei State in South Sudan, once said

I saw UNMIS delegation and their peacekeeping forces as well. They were likely heading to the office of 2011 referendum, but we did not have joint Mission operations’ activities to protect civilians. Of course, they are working in 2011 peace dividend, where they will keep monitoring the 2005 CPA Agreements’ peace buildings. However, the Twic East County commissioner, Mr. Dau Akoi Jurkuch, who is the Australian-naturalized citizens once said that he knows more about UNMISS delegations in the areas now and before. He told me that he has had seen them. And he greeted them as well. It was one time when I saw them with their vehicles and fighting tanks heading to the Ayod County in Upper Nile State in South Sudan passed Duk County, Jonglei State in South Sudan.

Twic East County Commissioner Dau Akoi asserted

I always meet with UNMISS delegation with their forces and even today I had a genuine contact with UNMISS in person. For instance, on the January 9^th, 2011, around seventh (7) UNMIS delegation stopped by my office. And of course, they come regularly before even now, and then. During the 2011 referendum, we sought the protection of local people and monitoring of 2005 CPA peace dividends. In addition, the UNMIS delegation can’t do anything with domestic issues such as livestock raiding, which has a highest bubbles and child abduction combined. It is none of their business. And we only worked with local police forces for law enforcements in South Sudan. We can do that to protect and report 2005 CPA Agreements’ violations, and/or incidents. We do not know what is happening in the ground with the civilians within Twic East County in Jonglei State in South Sudan. Perhaps, the UNMIS can only report it if they happen to hear the problem.

CHAPTER 19. My Extended Families: A Milestone Genealogy of DNA Ancestries

I thought I should add my family genealogy into this memoir book so that I could have a manuscript in future on record.  Since anything written and documented, it seemed to be preserved in the library after publications. It took me tons of correcting hours, and days.  I first heard my genealogy of DNA Ancestries, but this was not easier said rather than done to remember every step of DNA Ancestries. I think my DNA Ancestry once began with great grandfather, Mr. Aguer from Dinka-Ngok origin heritage in South Sudan in Africa adjacent to Garden of Eden in the horn of Africa. And as our DNA genealogy goes, our second late great grandparents, Mr. Jok Ajur Kibai Ater Mabior, and Mrs. Nyanchirin Bior Ajang Aguer, whose heritage origin stemmed from Dinka-Hol people of Dinka ethnic groups in Duk County, Jonglei State in South Sudan. I will leave aside my biological father, Mr. Wuor Deng Jok, and his 3rd wife, Mrs. Achol Anhon Dau’s family origin, but I should jump to talk about my mother, Mrs. Nyanluak Mabil Awer, and Mr. Garang Akoi Bol from Nyuak Payam district, Twic East County, Jonglei State in South Sudan. She was born to my late grandparents, Mr. Mabil Awer Adeer Deng, and Mrs. Nyandeng Kongor Anyiany from Dacuek section clans of Nyuak Payam districts in Twic East County, Jonglei State in South Sudan in East Africa.

I know that it does not matter, where you come from here in the United States, but in some culture, it is always worth knowing your DNA genealogy of heritage origin like in Judeo-Christianity Bible.  And it is good to know where your extended family originated so that you can pass it along to your children through Oral History telling of Fortune Cookies. I thought about knowing my parents’ genealogy heritage origin. However, I did not think that it is worth knowing. As the Christians, I believe it is worth preserving my DNA Ancestry Origin from East Africa.

My extended Family origin, I believe it started from our first Dinka-Ngok heritage origin in Africa. And therefore, it has gone up by picking it up somewhere in the middle, where it denoted my late great grandparents, Mr. Jok Ajur Kibai Ater Mabior, and Mrs. Nyanchirin Bior Ajang Aguer, whose their DNA heritage origin come from Dinka-Hol people of Duk County in South Sudan in Africa. I think my biological father, Mr. Wuor Deng Jok and Mrs. Achol Anhon Dau might have likely told me that we once migrated from Africa. Our late great grandparents, Mr. Jok Ajur Kibai Ater Mabior, and Mrs. Nyanchirin Bior Ajang Aguer are said to migrate to Kongor area in Africa, where they both fell in love and married. Mr. Jok Ajur Kibai Ater Mabior married a daughter of Mr. Bior-kweigak Ajang Aguer from Kongor Payam districts’ people in Africa. He did not forget, where he came from, but he deliberately made a decision to stay with Kongor people of today Twic East County, Jonglei State in South Sudan. He was closest friend to, Mr. Duot Bior Ajang Aguer, who is stepbrother to his wife, Mrs. Nyanchirin Bior Ajang Aguer. Of course, this is not a far reaching migration. They were once migrated from Ajuong Payam district in Twic East County in South Sudan, where they diverged to Duk County in South Sudan in Africa. He came with tons of cattle wealth, especially livestocks to which he generated for his own. In turn, he passed on his cattle wealth to our late great grandparents, Mr. Bior-kweigak Ajang Aguer, and Mrs. Kot Mayen in Africa. He combined his two heritage origins of intermarriaged with Dinka-Ngok Ethnic groups of Lual Yak people in the village of Dongol in Upper Nile State in South Sudan in Africa. He thought some culture might have had extinct, or faded away in memory if they were not written in the book. When you intermarriage, you have to exchange your spouse with bridewealth dowry. This technically become a wealth sharing with the family of bride. Our late great grandparents, Mr. Jok Ajur Kibai Ater Mabior, and Mrs. Nyanchirin Bior Ajang Aguer’s monumental intentions was more than intermarrying, but they have had lived a good live in this explanatory of Earth. They thought they should start a new beginning in the new land with people of Dinka-Kongor Ethnic groups’ our extended lineages. especially people of pan-Bior Ajang Aguer section clans,  where my late great grandparents’ brother-in-law, Mr. Bul Bior-kweigak Ajang Aguer, and Mrs. Apajok Ajang had step siblings from three households of Mrs. Adau Lual household, Mrs. Kot Mayen household, and Mrs. Akuach Chol household.

CHAPTER 4. Local Protection of Civilians(POC)’s Insights: Jonglei State Polices, and  Local County Sheriffs known as “Tite weeng” in Dinka Language

There is an existing and established Police in Jonglei State in South Sudan. Although it is newly born Country, we could still compare and/or contrast  it with the rest of Nations in the the Third World Countries. They work tirelessly and relently with local people in the County level in South Sudan. They also had  to file and documented incidents of livestock rustling for welfare of local people in County areas of Bor South County, Twic East County, and Duk County in South Sudan in Africa.

And there is also version of Protection group known as “Tite Weeng’ in Dinka language. And I guess their task is to protect their livestock from the lesson learned during the 1991-1993 Nuer ethnic insurgency to which they took away and plundered livestock. This literally meant in Dinka Language, ‘Aci weng Nyai’. It was a great havoc especially to local people of Twic East County, Bor South County, and Duk County in South Sudan since young adult had left for SPLA military trainings. The SPLA Army is the military wing for Country of South Sudan. And only youth, elderly people, and women were left behind to herd livestock they had raised for family support, and their cost of living arrangements.

Jonglei State Police and Sheriffs in South Sudan

As obvious, Jonglei State police, and the village/Town sheriffs’ tasks in the South Sudan was to enforce laws by bringing perpetrators into justice. Especially problems pertaining cattle rustlings, they can also compile criminal reports. It was getting so rampant insecurities of children abductions, and women kidnapping. They were top frequent incidents compiled to which they said that they are high rate risk in the Jonglei State, especially in the Counties of Twic East County, Duk County and Bor South County in South Sudan in Africa. There were numerous incident reports that especially from side of Ayidi village, residential place of Abii people, and Paleek people of Bor South County, the Murle Ethnic groups’ attackers were spotted.

During my 1990s Trip for Bor South County with GOAL logistics and storekeeper Mr. Mach Mel from Bor South County alongst with Mr. Manyok from Duk County, and Mr. David Wuor from Twic East County in South Sudan, we went for observance, and experiences in the areas. Right before I flew for Kenya in 1999, it was getting so awful. And local people of Paleek sections of Dinka Bor Ethnic groups in Waar Mel village, have had experienced this kind of unpleasant livestock rustling, children abduction and women kidnapping. People of Paleek sections surrounding Waar Mel village kept their livestock much closer to the people. During the rainy seasons, they kept their livestocks in the various cattle camps like Mathok cattle camp in Bor South County in South Sudan. And in other seasons, they take their cattle much adjacent to the riparian of Nile basins, where enemy, especially the Murle people of Pibor County, Jonglei State in South Sudan. They had difficulties of tumultuous storms to swim by crossing their livestock to other side of river Nile basins. They had to rustle the strong hailstorms of river Nile. This was horrific barriers of water downpour to which most people, who keep and herd livestock in the Bor South County, have had to fear. They preferred to keep their livestock much along the river Nile. During the dry season and summer seasons, they take their cattle cows much adjacent to swamps areas of river Nile due to its deadly tropical storms.

In 1990s visitations, we spent almost a year in the village of Kuch door of Paleek sections’ people. We had to help family and relative of GOAL Logistic and storekeeper, Mr. Mach Mel. It was a pleasant experiences. And we left Waar Mel village right after sorghums, and other plants were ripen and had yielded their seed crops. They kept their flock of weaving birds like cardinals known as ‘Lual’ in Dinka language aways from eating their sorghums. It was a risky daily tasks on the sorghum field farms. And the Dinka Bor Ethnic groups’ people used to build a sitting high rise stance known as ‘piom’ in Dinka language. Probably, we made this trip between 1990s and 1998 directly from village/Town of Panyagor in Twic East County in South Sudan. I have had never been there, before. And this trip with Mr. Mach Mel, and Manyok from Duk County in South Sudan, was for the first time. During the reconstruction phase eras, people of Bor South County, had come back from their hiding places. We had visited many areas in Bor South County of Panueer town of Abii people. And in the Malek areas, there are ‘Thany’ people. We literally meant people, who lived in the basin of river Nile without cattle. Basin of Malek area of river Nile are solely used for fishery and Sport. They also used for planting of corns fields, beans, and/or tobacco plantations along the river Nile basin. They planted corns, and beans for consumptions without worries of livestock herding, and bridewealth dowries. “Thany” word in Dinka language is basically meant people without cattle. However, they decided to stay there along the river Nile basin for fishery and/or sport. And they also grew cash crops like corns, beans, sugarcanes, cassavas, and other various crops that grow well in such tropical area. They are used to that ‘lifestyles and ways of life’, with which they do not bother themselves herding cattles. And they are predominantly residents of Bor South County in South Sudan in Africa. They tended to refer themselves as ‘Thany’ people of Malek area, which is few miles away from the village/Town of Bor in Jonglei State in South Sudan. And in the Waar Mel village, we spent our whole day of walk for life  since dawn until sunset.

Reinforcement of certain criminal penal code laws to which they  established. They enforced laws not for choice, but to keep perpetrators out of harming nobody by locking them up in the prisons cells. During the 2011 referendums as it is imposed in the 2005 CPA Agreement protocols, people had civic duties to vote overwhelming for seceding from Old Sudan. They seceded from the Old Sudan in 2011 referendum voting to which they left Old Sudan by dissolving the Government of National Unity(GONU) in City of Khartoum in Sudan. Registered voters have had casted their referendum ballots to keep both South Sudan, and Old Sudan together for those number of six years term for secession in 2011. Jonglei State Police and sheriffs were meant to reinforce those penal code laws as well. In the other word, the ten (10)States of Republics of South Sudan have a  premise of ‘check and balance’ powers until they were modified by 2011 referendum votes. System of governance was like Government of South Sudan (GOSS) interfaced with the Government of National Unity(GONU) of Old Sudan governments. Basically, both Countries have separate authorities, where they have had established their police Departments and sheriffs. They are there to enforce both civil and criminal penal code laws. During the six years terms, they will monitor and implement whatever imposed in the 2005 CPA Agreements mandate. 

During those six years term interim governments of South Sudan, they will govern themselves peacefully. The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) frequently drove by for peacebuilding missions in South Sudan. They are currently working in interface with Jonglei State Police and Sheriffs in various Counties of Jonglei State as well as with other local governments’ levels  in South Sudan. Twic East County commissioner, Mr. Dau Akoi Jurkuch acknowledged and testified that UNMIS peacebuilding forces come frequently for safeguard of CPA protocols as well as for the welfare of local people in various Counties in South Sudan. During those six years terms for 2011 referendum votes since 2005, they held their 2010 Presidential elections without worries about International Community like KGB for encouraging, or invigorating domestic violences in the Polling site in South Sudan. I also ran into UNMIS peacebuilding forces in the Bor Town’s airport when I was about to flight for village/Town of Panyagor in Twic East County, Jonglei State in South Sudan.  During my recent 2010-2012 trip for South Sudan for Africa, I was so auspiciously impressed by their democracy as the French Political Scientist Alexis de Tocqueville would revitalized in US Democracy.

Jonglei State Police with town sheriffs run a public safety, and clearance by taking a walk for few miles around. They walked into suspicious places in a day. And they also compiled incident reports from the local Counties’ with which they have interface jurisdictions. They probably looked into place to which their daily tasks is to go around the village/Town of Bor’s Neighborhood by making ‘Maruur’ in Dinka language. Seeing Police and Sheriffs walking for miles by miles in Twic East County in South Sudan in Africa is not a bad signs, or ferocious. Some of areas of Twic East County in South Sudan does not have a good physical infrastructure, where Police and Sheriffs could take a drive instead of walks.
