Kushiticism: A Cure For Ideological Epidemic, Great Issues Of Tribes In South Sudan




Introduction:

Kushiticism: A Cure For Ideological Epidemic, A Philosophy To Change South Sudan; on great issues of tribes.

Is a philosophical stand being undertaken by the philosopher, Machiek Machiek Akuocpiir Cayier.

It stem as a result of his contemplation concerning the issues facing this nation.

It will act as a state or national philosophy to guide  people to progress in a direct way.

The philosopher will deal with five areas of this philosophy. 1. Politics 2. Economics 3. Military 4. Society 5. History

Chapter 1

Politics:
Politics is the set of activities that are associated with the governance of a country, state or area. It involves making decisions that apply to groups of members and achieving and exercising positions of governance—organized control over a human community.-Wikipedia definition.


Chapter 2

Economics: Economics (/ɛkəˈnɒmɪks, iːkə-/)^[1][2][3] is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.^[4]
Economics focuses on the behaviour and interactions of economic agents and how economies work.~~Wikipedia

Chapter 3.
Military: A military is a heavily armed, highly organised force primarily intended for warfare, also known collectively as armed forces. It is typically officially authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with its members identifiable by their distinct military uniform. It may consist of one or more military branches such as an army, navy, air force, space force, marines, or coast guard. The main task of the military is usually defined as defence of the state and its interests against external armed threats.~~Wikipedia

Chapter 4.
Society:
A society is a group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social group sharing the same spatial or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Societies are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent of members. In the social sciences, a larger society often exhibits stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups.~~Wikipedia

Chapter 5

History:

History (from Greek ἱστορία, historia, meaning 'inquiry; knowledge acquired by investigation') is the past as it is described in written documents, and the study thereof. Events occurring before written records are considered prehistory. "History" is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events. Scholars who write about history are called historians.



Author's Notes:  This brief introduction encompasses the areas to be covered in the writing of this philosophy of Kusheticism.

The Will To Power: And The Echoes Of Bad Governance

4/April/2020

In this article, I will focus on what pertains to power and governance as they go together in the realms of class struggle with regards to "Will To Power." In the context of South Sudan.

The will to power is a philosophical doctrine invented by a German Philologist, Poet and Philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

His idea of the will to power stem from the feelings and urges of enlightenment. In that, when one is enlightened, one has to undertake the issues pertaining to what power actually is, what it isn't and what to do with it.

In the realms of governance, the decadents are the ones who pursues the power in crooked ways.

The highest human being is the one who has overcome himself/herself.  Because to pursue the realms of power, you have to be completely enlightened.

How does enlightenment occurs in a human being?

This is a result of studiousness. For one to study philosophy of humanism, attaining universal philosophy, political philosophy and all sorts of scientific empiricism. 

You can even imagine many other things such as spirituality.

However, power corrupts human beings; in such a way that, those who have declined in morals tends to abuse the power bestowed upon them.

Look around yourself in your country and see how power is distributed. It is actually not distributed but it is circulated among the few initiates of certain fraternities. Those decadents can easily fail the people. The example is, most South Sudanese politicians are decadents.

According to Plato, who was a political philosopher in ancient Greeks times; the people who qualifies to rule the populace or the republic, should be philosophers or philosopher king with that regard to that idea.

But Plato's idealism tends to be difficult to attain by some people since philosophy requires special attention and the time to enlighten ones mind.

Unlike Plato, Nietzsche's philosophy of will to power is an ideal philosophy for the chosen ones in the future regardless of which country one comes from.

  Nietzsche died in the beginning of 20th century. But it seems that he was philosophizing for the highest humans in the 21st century and beyond.  I honestly undertake his quest for an ideal human to be able to rule the people, not just anyone.

Author's Notes: I briefly reflected on the philosophical doctrines of the two philosophers whose works inspired me to study philosophy from the age of 21 until now.

The two philosophers are Plato and Nietzsche.   The doctrine of Plato is the idealism of philosopher king. As the highest human to rule the republic. And Nietzsche's  philosophy of overman as the philosophy of the will to power for those who are destined to rule.

Kleptocratic Ways: And The Misuse Of Mineral Resources in South Sudan

In this article, I will take you through what the current mining sector is doing for South Sudan as an important part of the government of South Sudan. In addition to that, I will be quoting the findings from the Sentry Report.

In the past recent years, the South Sudan mining sector emerge with the hope that the actors will be able to develop the country through the use of the existing mineral resources.

In due time as the sector progresses since 2012, there's has been no serious mechanisms to control the overflow of the wealth gotten from the mining sector. Apart from the revenue received from the petroleum sector.

According to the recent Sentry Report and the Enough Project; "ineffective accountability mechanism, an opaque corporate landscape, and inadequate due diligence have exposed the sector to abuse by bad actors within South Sudan's ruling clique."

 

Isn't this the result of the negligence of laws that are governing the use  of the mineral resources in the country, laws which are violated by the so-called "bad actors."

Our people are the ones who created this vacuum and the weakest environment exposed to exploitation of resources by the individuals who keep putting their interests first.

In addition to what I just said, "President Salva Kiir's daughter partly owns a company with three active licenses, while another company with three licenses former Vice President James Wani Igga's son as a shareholder."~~The Sentry, John Prendergast.

      The names of those stakeholders are not being mentioned in the report. But the question remains, what are they doing with the wealth that they have exploited from the mining sector? When the country has been bleeding to death throughout the conflict period until the formation of the revitalized transitional government of national unity.

Without accountability and transparency; the mining sector will always be exploited. What is needed is the enaction of laws existing to empower the institutions. 

In the recent Sentry Report; "Companies seeking to do business in the country should adopt industry best practices, particularly by disclosing information about ongoing due diligence efforts, public payments, and human-rights sensitive security policies. This is a good recommendation if it's followed by the government, but since certain actors are already  part of the government, it will be a difficult task.

According to the recent Sentry Report, of the: "Untapped and Unprepared: Dirty Deals Threatens South Sudan Mining Sector." The following are their findings: "

Change, Progress, And Future In The Light of Peace In South Sudan

2/April/2020

In the following article, I will deal with the ideas of change, progress, future, and peace in South Sudan.

Change:

Change is an inevitability; in that, when we are facing certain axioms, we sometimes need to accept them.

Currently, our country is undergoing several changes in a very slow pace. The changes has turned out to be diversely placed in a naturalistic manner, if I  am not mistaken.

The changes are;

 1. Political 2. Economical 3. Social and 4. Military in essence.

1. Political change:

The political changes has began already.  The political parties in our country that had undergone several phases of negotiations will bring about great transformation.

This sort of transformation; would result into a positive or negative changes, depending on the way they will run the government in this transitional period.

2. Economical change:

There are no known adapted theories of economics that are adopted in South Sudan as an independent nation. The adaptation of a certain economic system nationally leads to a steady progression. But since the nation is lacking the proper economic system, other than following international trends,   there wouldn't be any serious transformation to be seen in the nearest future.

3. Social change:

This depends a lot on the way the society has been structured. The social structure or hierarchy in our country is not orderly. The country is more of a communist Christian nation than of the socialist nature.  This hinders easy transformation of the social system if the society has become stagnant.

4. Military changes in Essence:

The South Sudanese military hierarchy is not fully runned in the manner which is expected from an independent nation.  We do not have the laws in place to initiate the gun control.

 The code of ethics to be followed by the army is not in place. Since soldiers could easily sell of their  guns to a non_military personnel. Leading to misuse of guns and other military weapons in the society.

If this system will continue, how do we expect the non military persons who are misusing the guns to change?

The complete integration of our military will lead to a great transformation for a stronger (SSPDF) South Sudan People's Defend Forces. This is only if there's stability in the military system. And only if there's no existing differing factions that will serve a different purpose.

Progress:

The progress  of our nation state depends on how we handles the issues pertaining to economy, military, political, and social aspects.  Without changing those areas in a positive manner, we can not see any change.

Future and Peace:

Our future is also dependent on the way we handles the current affairs. If the currently negotiated peace progresses well in this transitional government, we will expect to have a clear future. Otherwise, the future might be muddy, that we as a nation will not drink any clean water.

The future depends on peace which we withholds. And so does the peace depends on the future of South Sudan.

Author's Notes:

 This article has completely covered the pending issues pertaining to national progression. In this transitional period and the future of the country.

Governance, Morals, Individualism, And Society

02/April/2020

In this article, I will focus on the issues of the governance, morals, individualism, and society in the context of South Sudan.

Governance:

The system of governance in South Sudan needs to be fixed. The overall system of governance in this country seems to be screwed up. That the youths has become the victims in their own nation.

How do we deal with issues of weak government that is running the country for many years that has passed already?  How did this system of governance serves our purposes as the social collectivists?

There are so many questions which can be generated with regards to how we notices the things going wrong in our government. 

In which we need to come to a realization that, the youths are the rightful people to overcome the adversities facing each of us in individual and collective nature.

Morals:

The virtues which we inhabits forms the cores of our morals as human beings.  When we lacks the virtues of prudence, love, and ethics, and so forth;  we are not different from the savages.  

Look around yourself, in your country; people are constantly disadvantaged in their communities and country wide. What is the government doing about it?  

The people are killing each other in the villages as a result of tribal and clans rivalry of which the government gives no directives to enhance and resolve the conflicts. 

The deterioration of moral virtues has led to the decline of justice in South Sudan.  In which manner can we deal with such issues affecting our respective communities? Isn't it reasonable to come together as a nation and initiate harmony amongst ourselves?

In this context, the government is responsible for the instability our people across the country; in order that I may avoid biasness, there are some elements who are not part of the government, who are the members in said communities, who have broken the laws and the system by causing instabilities across the nation.

Individualism:

An individual is a basic unit of a society.  When individuals are neglected in a nation state, the society declines. Because the participation of the competitive individuals is a paramount act for the good of the nation.

Our society runs on a communal based system. This has corrupted the whole populace, that we do not know how to improve the system, whether in a collective manner or individualist manner.

Society:

The society as the collection of individuals, families and communities functions on merits for all.

Once this merits are broken, the society collapses in  many factions; these factions could be distractive or instrumental for change.

In that, if the families are not neglected, individuals are not alienated, and communities are not held in a prejudiced manner, nothing would lead to a corrupt society.

South Sudan is a country which is facing many issues currently; these are political, economical, and military crisis.

These problems stems from the collapsed of virtues from individuals, and society as a collective unit. Which has lost rightful system of governance, moral virtues, and individualism as the ways of life in a Nation State.

 Author's Notes: This article maps the underlying issues that are affecting people in our country, be these on individual and collective nature; they stem from the decline in the rightful way to  govern, fair moral actions, honest individualism and a lawfully structured society. This work too is inspired by the great piece from a German Philosopher known as Timo Schmitz

Federalism And The Youths Dilemma In South Sudan

The federalization of our country South Sudan may cause complacency amongst the youths. By the time in which all things will be implemented by the concern parties present in the country.

Youths may not be very united due to federalization of the Nation States.  In that each will act according to the interest of their own state.

We have seen this kind of the system affecting the communities across the country. What will people realize in the due time?

Our social collectivists views will redirect the course of our country in the future. Since we are in a country that is trying to fit into certain systems which are mixed up.


One of this systems is a social  communists system which was adapted in the early days of the struggle for independence of the Southern Sudan and freedom of the whole Sudan.

This particular system is collapsing as the time goes on. But our elderly people are always maintaining the same system since it suits their views and ideologies.

Our struggle for democratic system of governance as a country is not yet realized.  The task remain on the youths to fight for democracy since it's a fair system for all the peoples.

Hence, the change that I am talking about in this article is for us as a country to try hard to experience democracy in our country.

This will solve the dilemma in which our country has fallen into. Because majority of youths has been divided against each other. Each group supporting a certain group of elderly intellectuals. Thereby creating hindrance towards the ultimate changes that the South Sudanese dreams about.

Author's Notes:

This article Maps the situation in which our country South Sudan still dwells on.  The adaptation of federalism may supersede the progress of our people.

Individualism And Youth Collectivism In South Sudan

31st March, 2020

By Machiek Machiek Akuocpiir Cayier

Humanity have been divided in the two extreme ideologies of individual objectivism and social collectivism.

These two ideologies are all essential in very unique ways. One can not alienate an individual in a society nor can one cause biasness towards a certain social groupings.

South Sudan as the youngest country has the highest number of young people who constitutes the big percentage of the country's population. Given that, the youths finds themselves struggling in the context of what I call the social working class.

Many graduates are stranding too much in the youngest country. Since they finished their studies but finds nothing to focus on, be this work or any other engagement.

However, the question is, how do we combat this problems that way face both at the individual levels and the social collective levels?

This question  remains to be answered by young people themselves. But the solutions may not come from individuals, it will be a class struggle against another classes of society.

If the old population is blind to see this social aspects of youths suffering after they acquired skills which enables them to be competitive in their own country, how will the conscious class tackles the same problems, if they don't have the same opportunities?

The success of a country both depends on the success of individuals and the collective successes and happiness of the multitude in the whole country. South Sudan is yet to experience this simple insight.

Author's Notes:

This article focuses on the questions concerning the individual and collective social dilemmas the youths are experiencing in South Sudan as the world's youngest nation

The Youth Should Be Brave: In The Quest For Change In South Sudan

29th March, 2020

By Machiek Machiek Akuocpiir Cayier



The task for the young people in our country South Sudan, is to fight against the major issues affecting the country.

The transitional government which has just been formed early this year may pave way for greater changes in South Sudan, these changes could result in positive or negative changes.

The youths are the only people who can be instrumental in the quest for change in the country. But many young men who joined the army are held down by their dream to serve the country.

Those who will be in the forefront of political revolution will be the hope for South Sudan to experience great political transformation.

However, the fear of the country's security hostility towards youths may be the obstacle to their dream of the revolutionary transformation.

Currently, the country has several young men and women across the country, regionally, and the diaspora. These selection of young people are the hope for the new day in our country. Given that all the institutional changes will be as a result of their collective contributions.

Due to the negligence, the youths may face  a lot of political crisis currently and in the future. Because the elderly population and the old people holding governmental post have held the status quo as far too long, which seems not to be changing.

Therefore, our call is to have a collective revolution which will deal  with diverse issues in the country's context. Our efforts as the youth will not go in any vain,  because we will experience a positive change in our struggle and beyond.
