GRECOR BACKGROUND:

The idea of GRECOR started in 2012, and the really formation of it as a body was in 2013, while the declaration of the GRECOR as an opposition movement was in March 22, 2013, In Addis Ababa. While the actual activities and programs to enhance the new body started in 2014 up to date.

So as to bring true and genuine unity, harmony, stability and peace in the country based on the national projects, national call and national reformation in the entire structures of the new born state of South Sudan.

GRECOR PRESS STATEMENT ON THE CRISES IN SOUTH SUDAN:

On behalf of the Greater Equatoria Council of Rights (GRECOR); we would like to make the following statements:-

1. The GRECOR, which is an umbrella of various political parties, NGOs, Women, Men, Youth and Children of Equatoria Region, hereby, declares that, as from today, Saturday, March 22, 2014, the current crises are no longer confined to political differences over the issues of leadership within the SPLM as the ruling political party in the Sovereign Republic of South Sudan (SRSS);
2. The political and military allegations, by various national, regional and international individuals, groups and organizations that, they said crises in the SRSS are due to political quarrels between the Nuer and Dinka tribes of the SRSS, are unfounded and untenable;
3. It is not true that, the Nuer as a tribe, in the SRSS, are the ultimate threat to the prosperity of the SRSS. The truth is that, lack of prudent leadership and the absence of attainable vision are the threats to the prosperity of the SRSS;
4. The core causes of the current crises in the SRSS and which are also the ultimate threat to the well-being of the entire peoples of the SRSS, are entrenched corruption, tribalism, nepotism, exclusion of others, lack of accountability, lack of transparency, misuse and abuse of comprehensive fiduciary duties and lack of meritocracy;
5. The perception inside the SRSS that, current negotiations, being mediated by IGAD, and other international partners, are basically negotiations between the Upper Nile and Bahr el Ghazal Regions, and in total exclusion of Equatoria Region, in the SRSS, is a recipe for future comprehensive instabilities in the SRSS;
6. The Equatoria Region of the SRSS has always been the stabilizer of comprehensive issues of governance in South Sudan since 1956 until 2005, when it has been comprehensively marginalized by the operationalisation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) of 2005 to date;
7. The ubiquitous absence of effective and efficacious participation of Equatoria Region, in the legislative, judicial, political, military, security, economic, financial, moral, and social administration of South Sudan from 2005 to 2013; due to the dysfunctional operationalisation of the CPA, has fundamentally contributed to the extant symptoms of a failed State in South Sudan;
8. The GRECOR, with the total support of the peoples of Equatoria Region, reject the mobilization of their sons and daughters, into various military and security institutions; in the SRSS, in order to fight against the SPLM/A, under the leadership of Dr. Riek Machar;
9. The GRECOR, with the total support of the peoples of Equatoria Region; of the SRSS, calls for, and encourages, the mobilization of all women, youth, and men of Equatoria Region, to work together, with the other peace loving peoples of the other two regions, in the SRSS, for the creation of a stable SRSS, via the instrument of an interim government, with equitable representation of all women and men of the SRSS;
10. The GRECOR, in total support of political realism in the SRSS; supports the call for the establishment of an interim government, under the leadership of competent and capable South Sudanese Woman or Man, to steer the SRSS in this interim period, during which, all institutions of governance are reforming for the total interest of all peoples of the SRSS;
11. The GRECOR supports the call for the establishment of a federal system of governance in the SRSS, based on the former three regions of Equatoria, Upper Nile and Bahr El Ghazal;
12. The GRECOR calls for efficient application of illustration laws as instruments for building a peaceful SRSS which is at peace with herself and neighbouring countries in the region, and which respects international law for a peaceful regional and international coexistence;
13. The GRECOR calls for the engendering of the negotiation process to ascertain a just peace for the interest of all peoples of the SRSS; and
14. The GRECOR warns that, an unstable SRSS is already a threat to the peoples of South Sudan, and will be a threat to the regional and international peace and security, and as such, an all-inclusive and representative settlement in which; all peoples of the SRSS see themselves is a must.

GRECOR NATURE AND PERSPECTIVE:

GERCOR was born long time ago in the hearts of the Equatorians, the people who live in the tropical regions of the Sudan now South Sudan. Mostly they underwent gradual changing of attitudes and dispositions as you might have known very well. They are famous in many things and are characterized differently from the rest of the Sudanese and South Sudanese peoples. They had undergone many hardships, torment, and tribulation in life and history, yet they still exist and survive and they will most probably overcome all the above-mentioned human and natural disasters.

GERCOR advocates for the RIGHTS of the Equatorians i.e. central, western and Eastern all together. It’s the track, van and ship that carry them towards their ultimate goal today, tomorrow and forever and ever.

GERCOR is a new voice to the voiceless people of South Sudan, in fact, they are not voiceless, but they respect themselves and others because they were born and brought up soundly in that manner. Decent behavior is their attitude, hospitality is theirs inner self, order and organization are their good friends; patience is their wholeheartedly daily life.

GERCOR will always and often be GERCOR whatsoever schemes are being made and planned to extinguish their flame and fire by all means, the fact is that it’s a waste of time and effort. Let the engineers spend their time in designing new bridges and dams instead of Hogan houses.

GERCOR is about humanity, i.e. Man action cannot create man as a man, but God action can create man as a man. So when He created us (human), He didn’t mean that we should be oppressed, persecuted, undermined and degraded, but to be free and free from all kinds of injustice, marginalization, slavery, subjugation and domination.

GERCOR is a new bloc animating its message, mission and objectives among the young Equatorians and elders who are concerned with their political, economic and social affairs of Equatoria States. There are many Blocs which acting and doing the same work which GERCOR is doing here and there.  I personally would like to encourage them to keep doing what they have started for the sake of Equatorians everywhere. As you might have known and heard, the entire road goes/leads to Rome, so somewhere at that junction we will meet and if we meet please let us proceed together towards our common goal and the ultimate goal, without division, grouping and hatred, but unity, peace and understanding as a sign of maturity.

GERCOR will never give up its vision; mission Statement and objectives of free, safe and federal, State within united South Sudan, unless the lion, tiger and cobra have persisted not to change their minds and hearts. It’s good and excellent to live in a country where people understand themselves, where people have a common aim and goal to pursue, where people have realized that they are one and should be united, where they have a common vision, common objectives, common ABCD Up to Z feelings and emotions and common thoughts. Likewise, it’s fantastic and fabulous to live in the South Sudan as we did during the Referendum and voting.

GRECOR is a board made up of some of the sons of the three States of Equatoria residents in the Sudan and Diaspora (Diaspora), and who joined it voluntarily, and according to their personal belief in the calls of political leaders of the Greater Equatoria (new vision for the management of the newborn country).

GRECOR seeks to organize the people of Greater Equatoria States who are living in the Sudan and Diaspora, and the development of public policies that consistent with the ideas, calls and resolutions issued by the leaders of the people of Greater Equatoria on the conditions and political changes in South Sudan, and the Board of Greater Equatoria Council of Rights (GRECOR) also studying the various issues, files and projects related to the sons of Greater Equatoria and provides suggestions and solutions to them. The Council also looks forward to achieve all the dreams and desires and ambitions and aspirations of the people of Greater Equatoria.
