Jan 12, 2016(Nyamilepedia) —- I, Mohammed El-Hag Bab-Allah Luala, a South Sudanese Citizen from Jubek State, from Juba North Constituency, is a member of the Sudan people’s Liberation Movement Party since 12 July 2007.
I joined the SPLM totally believing in its objective, principles and vision as enshrined in the Party’s noble constitution and other documents that contributed in ushering southern Sudan to become a free, independent, and democratic Republic in Africa. Since I joined the SPLM 9 years ago, with honour and respect I have diligently served the party and the people of South Sudan un-wavered.
Allowed me to extend my sincere gratitude and congratulation to His Excellency, the President of the Republic of South Sudan, General Salva Kiir Mayardit, for decreeing the establishment of the 28 States in the Republic of South Sudan and the subsequent appointments of the 28 Governors on the Christmas Eve as a gift to the gallant people of South Sudan who have suffered terribly under Sudan colonialism. Mr. President you have responded to the popular demand of the people of South Sudan who have been longing for establishment of federalism in our country.
Your Excellency, on the 7th January 2016, when I was at the opening sitting of the SPLM convention at the Freedom Hall in Juba, at the time you were delivering your historic keynote speech to the people of South Sudan, I was shocked to learn that you have issued a decree appointing 50 MPs from the SPLM-IO including my humble person as a member of the SPLM.
This Press Release I am issuing is to inform Your Excellency, the Chairman of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC), His Excellency, the former President of Botswana, Festus Mogae, that I, Mohammed El-Hag Bab-Allah, is not and will not be a member of the SPLM-IO as I am registered and active member of the SPLM Party under the leadership of His Excellency General Salva Kiir Mayardit.
Therefore, I am officially protesting the inclusion of my name in the list of the SPLM-IO MPs for the National Legislative Assembly without my due information, consultation and consent. Your Excellency, none of the SPLM leaders or members have asked me or I have been in contact with anyone from the SPLM-IO to beg for a position whether at the national level or state.
The SPLM Party have asked me several times to serve as MP in the National Parliament but respectfully declined the work of legislature as I believe I can serve the SPLM in other areas. I am a successful business man who does not hunt for positions cheaply through the SPLM-IO.
Mr. President, allowed me to inform you through this press release that the inclusion of my name in the SPLM-IO list of 50 MPs is a deliberate attempt by some circle to eliminate from holding positions in the SPLM-led government of national unity and at the State level.
I am officially calling on former President, the Chairman of JMEC, Festus Mogae to immediately drop my name as one of the SPLM-IO 50 MPs as I have not accepted it from day one.
I am appealing to the SPLM leadership and the grassroots of our giant party to ignore inclusion of my name in the SPLM-IO list. It is a cheap propaganda and attempt of character assassination.
I want to assure the general public that, I am a representative of my constituency in Jubek State not Central Equatoria State. There is no more a state called Central Equatoria following the establishment of the 28 State. I am a citizen of South Sudan from Jubek State. I am a proud Jubekan citizen.
I want to reaffirm to the SPLM leadership and members that I have not quit this historic party to seek positions in the government through the SPLM-IO ticket. To the people of Jubek State, the people of South Sudan and my constituency of Juba North, I am still an active member of the SPLM, and willing to serve my party anywhere, anytime when directed by my Chairman, General Salva Kiir Mayardit; not Riek Machar and his cohorts.
I am urging Dr. Riek Machar to apologize for dragging my name through the mud as he intended to assassinate my character and image as active SPLM member otherwise I will file a lawsuit against him.
Signed:
Mohammed El-Hag Bab-Allah
Former Mayor of Juba.

You are right Bro. Riek’s fighting is only for position and NOT for the good of the Citizens. See now how they are dividing the positions forgotten those they killed.
Riek koang
You right this guy called Riek Machar is fighting for his own interests and not for people of south Sudan who are oppressed by kiir regime. This man should be worst than kiir and he is blatant to appoint his wife as minister while he is vice president where the rest of people risk their lives defensing him.
I hate these fake arabs calling themselves Bab blaa blaaa shit Mohammed and what not. where’s your true Bari name you idiot?.
See, these Dinkas and the likes of these ” melekia weeka boys” are the ones spoiling the dignity of our Equatoria. Why for God’s sake that name?.
Where’s your true African, South Sudanese, Equatorian, BARI name???.
After we’re done with the Jiengs, we’ll hunt down these ” Muarrasin” and send them back to where they belong,…. HELL!!!.
Get out of my face!!!.
riek kuang and lual deng,
thank you so much for saying MOHAMMED EL-HAG BAB-ALLAH is your true brother. We sons and daughters of Greater EQUATRORIA have already withdrawn his last name of LUALA because this name belongs to us. But put in your animal minds that Mohammed is not going to stop us calling for FEDERAL RULE in this BELOVED COUNTRY. If you are wise enough, you could realise that just this peace is going to be followed by the accountability of the JUBA MASSACRE, WONDURUBA MASSACRE and YAMBIO MASSACRE. This also opens a gate for the justice of the human rights abuses committed by the jenge against the people of Greater Equatoria during the time of the struggle. Definately this will send some jenge rulers to prison. Believe me or not, the case of Juba massacre in not longer in the hands of Malong or kiir or the jenge council of elders, but is in the hands of the INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMUNITY. If you are still smiling, there is no need to do that, instead you have to cry in the same way you cried when kiir signed the peace.
riek kuang and lual deng, put into your mind that Festus Mogae is not here in Juba to fix your missing teeth. He is here for a TRUE FACT FINDING MISSION OF ANY HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES. I tell you this country is not going to be the same. We are very happy that there is already peace and the implementation of the massive reforms are on the way. Please have a watch and realise for yourselves, already you have heard what Festus Mogae said. He want all the parties to start looking very close for solutions of the mess of kiir’s security………………….follow the BIG, BIG NEWS happening here in Juba. And if you say you do not like FEDERAL RULE, it will be forced on you as the peace agreement is now forcred on you.
WedJuba,
You have said what every son and daughter of Greater Equatoria has to say. May God bless you my brother. Our massage is one, let us keep preaching the GOOD NEWS OF THE FEDERAL RULE IN ALL CORNERS OF THIS COUNTRY. Let us not give up for it is not yet over till it is over. For sure we will win because it is already a fight between 1 tribal tribe against the 63 tribes who love peace. Every body can see the logic here that the 63 tribes are going to win just by calling for FEDERAL RULE.
DINGIT NA TUGGÖ & Wedjuba
Mohammed is right. He is not a member of SPLM-IO. So, he has no affiliation with you guys and no need for hating him.
Recruiting him against his will and consent is an undemocratic and a violation of his human rights. It shows that you are a bunch of desperadoes.
As for his name,it is okay for some South Sudanese to have an Arab name. After all, we are a secular and multi faiths society and discriminating anyone against his religious name is a violation of his rights under the charter of human rights which are outlined in Geneva Conventions and also against ideals of multiculturalism which are found in democratic societies worldwide.
If wedjuba is allowed to have an Arab name like his,why would Mohammed El-Hag be an exception? It seems like someone has committed hypocracy here.
HI Mohammed, how came that your name apear with the list of SPLA IO, without your notice? Where have you been by the way during this period. If that is the case yoy have got a right to see the court of low.Ngina a twan inot na gala. Take care Nuer is the some person as dinga.
Dingit,
Our time in Equatoria will come soon Brother!!!. I appreciate your vigilance on the Web. Please Keep it up.
Thanks Mohammed E-l Hag for standing up to call spade a spade. Your good reputation should not be stained by the SPLM-IO. Shame on them for their illegal recruitments.
Under the SPLM/A, you are a success. You work hard to bring the independence of this country and served the nation as a popular mayor.
Being successful businessman like you contributes significantly to the development of the nation
As JFk once said to his fellow Americans during his inaugural speech as the President of the United States “Ask not what this country can do for you. Ask what you can do for this country”, you never ask what South Sudan can for you. You liberated the country from Khartoum regime, served the public as a mayor of Juba metropolitan city and work in private sector as a businessman to make a difference.
Tolio,
Stop fooling around here, the name “Wedjuba” is just an alias name, solely for the purposes of congeniality to my home town Juba, nothing you would dare compare with the name of that melekia individual, for he has loaded himself with that name since birth, so drop the crap!.
