Juba, South Sudan,
June 21, 2021 – A policeman has blamed nepotism for derailing his promotion after serving as a sergeant for nine years.
The officer who identifies himself as Ariik Kuol Ariik Mawien served in the South Sudan National Police Service religiously with all the required qualifications, including academic documents but he now reports to those recruited after him.
“I served as an S.G.T (Sergeant) for almost 9 (nine) years since 01/06/2012 in South Sudan National Police Service (SSNPS) with the documents [diploma and bachelor’s degree] stated above,” he said.
Ariik said serving the government with consistency and commitment turns out to be a regret when one does not have a backup from the top.
“I came to know that, it’s really a regret and a great crime to faithfully serve in the government of South Sudan without a Big uncle behind,” he said.
Ariik said he was ranked in his current position since the days when Gen. Achuil Tito Madut, the Inspector General of Police by then, and Hon. Alison Manani Magaya, the Minister of Interior at the time, approved the appointment of 352 Technical Sergeants (T/SGTs) to establish the Biometric System at the Directorate of Nationality, Passports & Immigration, which later upgraded into the Directorate of Civil Registry, Nationality, Passports & Immigration.
He said some people have been promoted five times in two years when he is still languishing in the dustbin of oblivion.
“Let me cite my BOSS here as a good and convincing example of change and progress. My current IGP was a Lt. Col and was heading the Department of Immigration within the DNPI,” he said in a Facebook post obtained by Nyamilepedia.
“Now, he has successfully passed five promotions from Lt. Col to a Police IGP in less than two years. What makes him successful is what we do down here. Even the shapes of Jebel Kujur, Lado, and Luri have never been the same after Juba became a City with multiple developmental projects that needed stone’s gravels and aggregates for concrete foundations,” Ariik stressed.
“What crime have I committed to remaining stagnant in a Junior Rank of Technical Sergeant for too long? Some of my colleagues recruited after me in 2013, 2014, and 2020 have finally made their way to 2nd. Lts, 1st. Lts, Capts. and Majors,” he lamented.
Ariik said the most painful aspect of this saga is that he is still a junior officer waiting for new recruits to come and be promoted ahead of him.
“The worst part, I’m still not a senior NCO in the Police. I’m acting waiting for their children who are still breastfeeding to take up their positions as officers when they grow up. It works better when your Big uncle represents you instead of a valid certificate.
The officer said he was not the only one facing the challenge as some of his colleagues in Rajaf and Agut Makur Training Fields were also suffering the same fate.
“There are many roadblocks to Cadets in Rajaf and Agut Makur Training Fields. Even those who managed to join the Cadets in their respective training fields are now affected by this unusual Hotel’s promotion, in terms of seniority. After graduating, they will be subordinates and remain in a very submissive situation after a hard and lengthy period of struggle in the fields. Imagine how regretful it is to salute an officer who has recently graduated from a family Police College?” he asked.

“Police officer bemoans lack of promotion nine years after recruitment”
I guess if you are doing your job diligently and honestly, then you would be ‘promoted by your superior’. After all, most our mighty SPLA soldiers took up arms from cattle camps and villages and blasted the cloned so-called Arabs out of our towns and villages. However, some of our fake PhD doctors of Mr. Riek Machar, Mr. Lam Akol, Aduok Nyabe and other foreign puppets/stooges, traitors, thieves and secret societies criminals’ stabbed our SPLM/A at the back and now, the cloned so-called Arabs are still in our Kiirtoum (Khartoum).
Are against being fitted against by our enemies of evil white Americans, English people, the UN, their sleazy NGOs, their gulf Arab financiers, some of their creepy criminals here in IGAD and the African Union (the AU), the evil juus (so-called israel) attack dogs. That we should live side by side with vermins/parasites.
Some of our foolish elders were warned before hand to be ‘mindful of the cozy relationship with the evil white Americans, the English people, the UN, their sleazy NGOs, their evil juus (so-called israelis) and that they covet our country and our people to death’.
And not to renew the then United nations mission in Sudan (UNIMIS) to current United nations mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) because there was no need for it. And that the UN so-called peacekeeping mission around the world is always used by ‘secret societies’ as pretext or a guise way of occupying other people’s countries with their so-called UN NEW WORLD ORDER government dirty project.
But we were stern rebuked that ‘we were just bunch of young boys with some bad attitudes towards white people’.
And now, the damned UN, the NGOs, their evil white Americans, English people, their creeps here in the IGAD countries and the AU and some of their secret societies’ criminals, who have sold themselves and their souls to devils have dangerously attached themselves to country and over our people like leeches or ticks
And this is the evils dirty SLOGAN, “AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION”
These secret societies’ criminals are *Former South African president, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, current president of Rwanda, Mr. Paul Kagame, former Tanzania president, Mr. Jakaya Kikwete, former Nigerian president, Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo, current Kenyan president, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta, his arch rival, Mr. Raila Odinga (who even bragged that he is only CIA man in Africa), former Abesh (so-called ethiopia) piece of trash, Mr. Hailemariam Desalegn, his successor, a European, American, evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs and their gulf Arab states’ financiers puppet/stooge, Mr. Abiy Ahmed.
Mr. Malik Agaar, Mr. Yasir Arman, Mr. Lam Akol, Mr. Pagan Amuom, Mr. Uyai Deng Ajak, Mr. Thomas Cirillo and low level piece of trashes here in South Sudan.
Former president of the US, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, Susan Rice, a piece prostitute, who even married an English man piece of trash and the vermins/parasites we hate to death. Ms. Susan Paige, a former US ambassadress to South Sudan and who was behind the 15/12/2013 foiled coup in Juba.
Ms. Hilde Johnson, former head of UNMISS and who was also, behind the 15/12/2013 coup.
Former evil juus (so-called israel) attack dog, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu who claims that “from Jerusalem to Euphrates Rivers, to Tigris Rivers and right up to our Nilotic plains and valleys, the evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs’ civilization would expanse to”
And that their evil civilization would be heralded over by their so-called “POWERFUL MOST SOVEREIGNS” of the US, the UK and France and the evil juus (so-called israel) attack dog itself? Good luck to them and their shifty and dirty intrigue and Mr. Pope Francis of old Popes.
