I envision a salutation where all people have religious freedom and not all people are politicians. The independence state of the Republic of South Sudan should be a multi-denominational state with separation of religion and politics. Even though the religion differences, political differences and cultural differences led to the separation of South Sudan from Sudan protect all faiths and allow the freedom of worship. No religion should be supreme. All inhabitants of the Republic of South Sudan should be given freedom of worship, freedom of movement, freedom of expression, and freedom to own property anywhere in the country.The Honourable Garang Malong Awan served as a cabinet minister of youth, culture, and sports in South Sudan, NBG State, and Awiel. In his book, Religion and Democracy, he spreads the Hope, Faith, and Love that he has received through God's grace and his passion to unite all, hence forge unity among all people. He is also author of the bestseller book, "Why Sudan Matters".

Fr. James Tab comes out now with a new book entitled "The Dramatic Clash between the Culture of Life and the Culture of Death Its Relevant to the African Context. The outline of the book and its methodology are typical of the author. They are quite painful, a pondered review with additional reflections is in order. According to this perspective, the culture of life is the culture of the good, which promotes the full readily of life. The culture of death is the deprivation of good, distortion of reality, lack of perfection, full ignorance of the "Gospel of Life." Namely of the truth that makes us free (cf. Jn 8:32). The incapability to see the full picture of reality, of the good, of perfection, is due to the poison of the so-called "original sin" that creates myopic towards the good. "Original sin distorts our sight so that we cannot see things as they are and, therefore, act accordingly. Contemporary theologians say that this is not due so much to a biologically inherited propensity towards concupiscence (which would devalue sex God's creation) as St. Augustine held it, but due to an inherited historical, cultural, and socially distorted context which affects people living in one.

As about the Compendium of Nuär Origin, Culture, and Moral Evaluation, the Nuär people, usually, referred to as Nuer, are one of the largest ethnic groups in the Republic of South Sudan. They can be metaphorically considered as the right arm of the new nation. If ever you want to know more about these noble and God-fearing people, their history, lifestyle, geographical and demographic surroundings and cultural practices, Father James Tab Charoa has said it all in this book. I had heard and learned much about the Nuär people over the years, having studied, worked and lived with some of them. I read many books written about the Nuär by prominent anthropologists such as E. Evans-Pritchard and P.P. Howell (on Nuer marriage), and Douglas H. Johnson (on Nuer prophets). These writers have laid good foundations on which any research on Nuär people can be further developed. Whereas I had gotten it all about the Nuär people, I came to know that much more was still to come which the author has now completed in his book.

In " The Lost Boys of Sudan," a former "Lost Boy" takes on the poignant task of narrating the untold stories of Southern Sudan. This narrative emerges from the tumultuous backdrop of the 1960s, a time marked by political upheaval and cultural transformations, leading to the displacement of countless children. The author, having lived through these experiences, offers an authentic voice that challenges the often foreign interpretations of these events. This book serves as an invitation for the "Lost Boys" and now "Lost Girls" to share their own distinct tales in their native tongues, thereby weaving a tapestry of personal stories that collectively embody the resilience, suffering, and triumphs of the Southern Sudanese people. These accounts are not just personal histories; they are testimonies to the indomitable spirit and destiny that define their community. While rooted in real journeys and events, the book does not claim to be a historical record. It maintains fidelity to the essence of actual incidents,yet acknowledges possible inaccuracies in timelines, names, and locations. Dialogues and conversations are often reimagined to mirror the original scenarios, emphasizing the narrative's emotional truth over factual precision. This work is a profound reflection on memory, identity, and the power of storytelling.

"Tearz Ayuen is a literary renegade." - Anonymous Without an iota of fear, Tearz Ayuen - also the author of Laughter and Cry - in this epistolary book names names, attacks the attackers, and intimidates the intimidators - the 'legal criminals' he believes are to an extent responsible for the seemingly organized destruction of lives and property and stunting of the general growth of the baby country, South Sudan. "Warning: Do not read this book." Said Tearz Ayuen

The intricate power dynamics at play between President Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar created a pernicious environment where inter-tribal tensions were skillfully exploited. The escalation of this volatile situation was exacerbated by the leadership's inability to adeptly navigate disagreements and address the diverse needs of the population. While tribalism may indeed have played a role, it is fundamentally a symptom of a deeper, overarching issue: the absence of capable leadership and a prioritization of personal power over the nation's security and progress.

The purpose of this book is concerned with the plan for building a boarding senior secondary school in Jonglei Province, Southern Sudan. The book was prepared to provide educational reality and statistic of the area, which was lacking from the plan and survey of the Jonglei Canal. The little development in the area happened during the ten years of peace following the Addis Ababa Agreement (1972 - 1983). The eruption of the war in 1983 shattered the dream and did not ensure the construction of the planned boarding school. The war dragged on for several years and resulted in killing and displacements of millions of civil populations. The schooling activities came to a complete stop in the South. The Sudanese armies occupied the premises that accommodated the school, and the teachers and students fled for their lives. Appendixes A, B and C were provided to show how the Sudanese policy makers prioritized northern region more than the southern in the educational area; thus, creating the educational gaps between the North and the South. The issue of unequal development in the country and the imposition of Islamic Sheria laws were the main causes of the two wars.

INTRODUCTION TO COMPARATIVE POLITICS, POLITICAL CONUNDRUMS AND THE CHANGING WORLDThis book is a basic seminal work on comparative politics, political conundrums and the changing world. It breakdowns the complex and well-known subfield of comparative politics into the introduction nuances bringing out the theoretical and empirical viewpoints. While the book clearly signsposts the importance of comparative politics and its applications to the changing world, it showcases the political conundrums the world bedevils today, including the rethinking of comparative method. Although the book is a very essential reference to those that engage in political science and, in particular, comparative politics, it is valuable reading material for undergraduate and graduate students who are studying political science and, in particular, comparative politics. It is also a hand on guide for political consultants and those researching comparative politics as a science.

Deng Majok succeeded his father Kwol Arob, as Paramount Chief of the Ngok Dinka of Abyei in 1943 and reigned until his death in 1969. He is widely recognized as one of the most prominent tribal leaders who contributed effectively to the maintenance of peace, security and stability in Sudan s volatile North-South border area, where warrior African and Arab tribes come in contact, interact, and often clash in competition over scarce natural resources. Working in close partnership with his Arab counterpart, Babo Nimir, Paramount Chief of the Missiriya Arab tribes, Deng Majok succeeded remarkably in ensuring peaceful coexistence and cooperation between the two communities. Deng Majok was also an innovator who brought to his area the benefits of the market economy, health care, veterinary services, modern education, and a credible administration of justice. But perhaps the most unique aspect of Deng Majok s life was his profile as a family man. He married over two hundred wives from all sections of his tribe and from the neighboring Southern tribes. With an estimated average of four children per wife, and with his widows continuing to bear children to his name after his death through the custom of levitate, Deng Majok has close to a thousand children. Even more striking is the strict code of conduct he imposed on his vast family based on idealized principles of unity, harmony, solidarity and absolute intolerance of jealousy among family members. Deng Majok was however deeply tormented by an agonizing power struggle against his father who favored as his successor a younger half-brother, Deng Makuei (also known as Deng Abot), from another wife whom he considered senior to Deng Majok's mother despite the ambiguities in the order of their marriages. The struggle ended with Deng Majok plotting with his Arab friends and the British administrators to force his father into retirement and install him as the Paramount Chief. Throughout his life, Deng Majok strove painstakingly to prove beyond any doubt that he was the most qualified for the leadership. The biography of Deng Majok is written by his scholar-diplomat-statesman son who has been highly commended for successfully maintaining a precarious balance between devotion to his father and remarkable objectivity. This is the story of a truly outstanding man, whose varied life experiences make for intriguing, painful and engaging reading. As the author convincingly substantiates, The Man Called Deng Majok, is indeed a tale of glory and tragedy.

This innovative work by Francis Deng, the noted scholar, diplomat, legal expert and author, moves the study of negotiation out of the limited traditional context of industrial relations and resituates it in the broader arena of negotiating human relations, drawing on his childhood experiences, inter-racial and cross-cultural encounters at home and abroad, and incidents from his diplomatic career. Talking It Out provides an account of the author's family and background as a son of the leading Dinka Chief in a long line of leaders believed to be spiritually-endowed peacemakers, a cultural context that has helped shape his perspective on conflicts and how to manage or resolve them. His distinctive perspective became manifest in his response to the conflicts in Sudan between the Arab-Islamic North and African-Christian South, in which he was ironically both a victim and a peacemaker; Deng's account of interpersonal relations abroad in the course of a diplomatic career that linked international civil service in the United Nations with representing his country as Ambassador to the United States, Scandinavian countries and Canada, along with serving as minister of State for Foreign Affairs for Sudan, describes the way in which he was able to engage his domestically rooted cultural values on an international level. The Volume concludes with an analytical commentary that places these experiences in a thematic framework that matches the values of his upbringing with his responses to negotiating human relations in conflict situations, Deng's unique approach to the cultural dimension of conflict management has wide relevance in today's world. This is an exceptional work by one of the outstanding cultural authorities of our time.

The proceedings of the 2019 TECAA Reunion Conference under the theme; New Approach + New Ideas = Supporting Progress inspired great hopes of finding solutions to intractable problems faced by the Twi community at home and in the diaspora. The event was an auspicious soul-searching forum for the Twi East community, which aspires to sustainable socioeconomic development. The conference outcomes are evidently 'small steps in a thousand-mile journey' of rebuilding new life and new opportunities for the Twi East community at home and in Australia.

Publisher's Note According to world politics South Sudan exists as a nation. For example, our flag flies in front of the United Nations headquarters along with those of 192 other countries. If you use Google or some other search engine, you can learn that Juba is South Sudan's capital and that our motherland is composed of ten states. There it is, the reality we call South Sudan. But is South Sudan really a nation, or is it an accident of British Empire building and a European notion of geography? Let's start with Juba. Were you going to pick the location of a capital for our country, would it not be better to be in the north, closer to the center of the nation? The British were not interested in founding a capital for what was eventually to become our motherland; they wanted to control the White Nile. But to this day, there are many who say that a new capital should be built - Ramciel. Beyond the location of Juba, what do states have to do with our country? We are a nation of tribal identities not geographic locations. By basing our government elections on geography, the constitution gives the larger tribes disproportionate power in decision-making and it deprives us of what should be an emphasis on shared values and faiths. In this issue Ramciel is proud to begin a dialog about the role of traditional tribal structures and beliefs with our interview of Sultana Abuk Macham Angui. In the future, we need to encourage more discussion among tribal leaders and religious figures to find those values and beliefs that will highlight our peoples and our traditions.One of the best South Sudanese traditions is our love of music and dance. Even though we may not all sing in the same language or dance the same steps, we can share and enjoy one with the other. One of the most popular musicians among us-both those of us at home and those living in the Diaspora-is Achuei Deng Ajing. Miss Achuei recently toured the United States and brought a touch of home to those of us living in America. As publisher of Ramciel I am delighted to share our interview with Achuei Deng Ajing. While music has always been an integral part of life for South Sudanese, the same cannot be said of team sports such as basketball and football. In recent years such sports have been a major conduit for others to hear of our country and many of our athletes have become celebrities at home. Ramciel is committed to helping spread that rightful pride in our athletes. That's why we try to publish so many photos of athletes and others who deserve attention and praise. There is something else that should be bringing us together as a nation: floods. Water is an integral part of our nation's existence. The word Sudan comes from the Arabic sudd, which means swamp or marsh. Our marshland is important and the tribes who live in those marshes bring important qualities to our national character. However, flooding is destructive and water can be dangerous. As a nation, we need to discuss how to handle the water of our country. This subject is especially important when we recognize that climate change models suggest that South Sudan will become wetter in coming years. With the question, "Will water be our resource or our destroyer?" in mind, I am particularly pleased that this issue of Ramciel includes an interview with hydrologist Dr. Tag Elhazine.Those of us who are part of the South Sudanese community-be we in Juba, in the hinterlands, or in the Diaspora-need to focus on our motherland as a whole. We must not allow the old thinking of London, or even that of Washington, tell us how to be a country. Instead, we must find our common cause, our shared pride, and our unique way forward. As the publisher of this magazine, I am devoted to that cause and to the future of our nation.~Deng Mayik Atem Ramciel Magazine Publisher

Life presents many challenges, and as our world becomes increasingly interconnected, individual problems have transformed into collective issues that affect us all. From economic inequality and pandemics to moral dilemmas, people continue to grapple with these pressing concerns.Drawing inspiration from the teachings of God, this book delves into what it means to confront global challenges while staying true to the Christian tradition.The author of this book, Elijah Abuoi Arok, overcame numerous trials and tribulations to achieve his education.His studies were interrupted by the second civil war that ravaged Sudan, but with unwavering faith and determination, he eventually earned a PhD in Christian ministry from Shepherds Theological Seminary in Cary, North Carolina in 2018. Elijah aspires to make a positive impact on people's lives through this book, encouraging them to realize that their dreams are just as valid as anyone else's.

This book serves as a tribute to the rich heritage and legacy of the Dinka people, whose traditions and history span millennia. As a valuable contribution to the global pursuit of knowledge about humanity, it provides a compelling account of the Dinka's historical presence in Sudan, Egypt, and the Middle East.Remarkably, the book has been over thirty years in the making. Its origins date back to 1979, when the author embarked on a mission to collect and preserve the oral traditions, history, and values of the Dinka people.This endeavor involved diligent research, using the Bible as a reference for comparative analysis, and verifying the oral accounts with ancient documentaries, books, and texts. These ranged from creation myths, stories of the antediluvian world, and the universal flood of Noah that purged the Earth of its earliest inhabitants. The author consulted a diverse array of sources, including works by Babylonians, Assyrians, and Akkadians, as well as those by Greeks, Hebrews, Arabs, Africans, and Black Americans, such as William Chancellor's "Destruction of the Black's Civilization" of Kush. The author also conducted an extensive study of books on ancient Sudan and Egypt, adding depth and context to the narrative.

Fighting for my people is the story of Arthur Akuien Chol, South Sudan's first Minister of Finance. It chronicles Arthur Akuien Chol's journey from his beginnings as a cattle boy in South Sudan, through his struggle to gain an education, and his fight for South Sudan's independence. It shares the story of his passion for his people and nation, his contribution as one of South Sudan's founding political leaders, and his mission to promote economic and social development, education and a harmonious future for South Sudan, one filled with opportunity, hope and peace.

As South Sudan has grown, the roadways inside of it have grown with it. It is a well-known fact that more people die every year in fatal car accidents. The resulting bereavement on families and clans can be devastating. In this book, Professor Madhel Malek Agei explores the processes that accompany the loss of life - from the cultural experience of death to the law that governs us. The death of loved ones can divide people, but Bloodwealth compensation can serve to promote harmony and bring people together.

Broken Promises is the story of the political and cultural enslavement of South Sudan that deteriorated with the departure of the British and the declaration of Sudanese independence on August 18, 1955. The domination of the Arab forces of the North over the culturally diverse South lead to an uprising and the development of a sustained Liberation Movement that, after much pain and bloodshed, led to the independence of South Sudan on 9 July 2011.Back in 1955, a handful of MPs from the South fought for federalism from within but political and military forces proved too strong for most except from a courageous former Catholic priest,Father Dominic Muorwel Malow. He fought for the South's freedom until his dying breath.

This book discusses the Anyanya Movement as seen through the eyes of a common soldier. An o­ shoot of the Torit Mutiny of 1955, the Anyanya Movement waged a protracted guerilla war against the Sudanese state from 1963 up to the signing of the Addis Ababa Agreement in 1972. The author takes the reader through a journey into Sudanese history by focusing on events that led to the birth of the Anyanya. Notably, he focuses on the shortchanging of the aspirations of Southern Sudanese by the Northern Sudanese political establishment. The redivision of Southern Sudan into three regions, the imposition of Islamic Sharia Law, and the abrogation of the Addis Ababa Agreement are some of the issues he sheds light on. Francis Barson Yousa, who served in the Anyanya as a corporal and adjutant to a commander, o­ffers an unparalleled window into the life of an ordinary soldier in the frontlines in a book that is the ¿ first of its kind on the Anyanya. He details his participation in military operations and role in the clerical section of the guerrilla camp of Su'bi in present-day Central Equatoria State in South Sudan. Mr. Yousa, who narrowly escaped death in Juba when he sneaked into the town in the late 1960s, was able to complete his studies and graduated from the University of Khartoum with distinction in 1976. He subsequently held senior roles in the private sector and as a minister in the government of the Central Equatoria State.

THESE MYTHS and folktales are a collection from my own pool of stories, told when I was a child in the village and locked up somewhere in the recesses of my memory. Although much has decayed with time or been wiped out by other peoples' stories fighting for front-page in my brain, I am sure there is a lot more in there that I cannot recall at the moment but which will come to the fore in due time. All I need is a catalyst, such as returning to the village, even if briefly. The village environment and atmosphere in which these stories are told impress them very firmly on the memory of the listener. Just imagine yourself as a child member of a family sitting around a wood fire on a dark night in the centre of your household compound, or lying in bed in a mud and thatched hut. All around you is darkness. Maybe it is raining, and there is lightning and thunder.

This war and peace legend have inspired song makers, singers, storytellers, spiritual leaders, and the general public of Apuk Giir.For centuries, it has been transmitted through oral tradition. It is now time for it to be passed on through books and throughelectronic means. Whether or not it would be adapted as a tool that could bring all South Sudanese together, as one people, isa question that I leave for South Sudanese influential people to figure out. The legend itself is the embodiment of what the vision, Constructing Our New Identity, means. is story, or rather, the legend is about a stranger who, since time immemorial, came into contact with the people of Apuk.During the stranger''s brief stay, a relationship had developed. When he was no longer with them, Apuk people have continuedto commemorate that relationship up to this very day. e legend over time, has acquired spiritual dimension. It cemented the relationships between members of nine sections that made up Apuk county. It helps them maintain unity and peace; and it also raises their morale whenever they face any foreign aggression.
