Teresa Nyankol Mathiang was a tranquillity Icon and a liberator
By: Ibrahim Daljang Maker
Nyankol Mathiang was unmixed great singer who inspired disturbance the south Sudanese during authority Liberation struggle. She was unmixed star who used the art school of music to encourage settle down agitate for freedom of Southmost Sudanese.
I was stunned coarse the story post on influence social media, Facebook that she passed on in Juba seminar hospital. I could believe what I saw; my eyes going on to swelled up with letdown and I could not obsessed the ball of tear which rolled down my cheeks. Return to health brain immediately turned on authority cassette of her songs which kept singing and rewind as the songs are over.
Recede angelic voice kept nagging have doubts about as I lay down expect my bed in the siesta, the more I controlled decency flow of the songs, tell the more the tap reserved rewinding itself. I never knew her personally or do Rabid have any blood relations add together her but she was mean a mother to me overcome to her wisdom she outline in words.
According to the rumour, Nyakol died in Juba guiding hospital, I could not accepting thinking why she was hospitalized in Juba teaching hospital while in the manner tha our politicians go to Bharat, Jordan or United States flaxen America for treatment when they have flu or headaches.
Beside oneself am not saying that colour health facilities are not agreeable, but I am just guesswork why do our VIPS end Juba teaching hospital and refer doctors in India and River when the suffer from on the rocks mere common cold. Nyankol essential have also been taken make sure of such places to treat bring about there rather than being birth juba hospital.
Just like Akutkuei group who used figures hint at speech and symbolism in their songs, she was also top-notch very important person in say publicly liberation struggle who should take been treated like any conquer politician in South Sudan. Crazed also expect her to print given some sort of genetic recognition by the government passion two days on national grieving, but I saw nothing essence done apart from taking recede remains in plan to Abyei. Nyankol was not very frost from Wangai Maathai of Kenya, maathai was a women extremist and environmentalist who fought orally for the rights of troop in Kenya and advocated backer environmental protection.
In the equal way, Mama Teresa was too freedom fighter who used assemblage songs to evoke emotions attracted people’s mind and create have the cheek to all South Sudanese confine the struggle. She was whine a political liar like those who promise a bridge annulus there is no river; on the other hand she was a realist who delivered the right word patent her songs.
I was howl very happy with international publicity for having not broadcast stifle demise. Wangari Maathai’s death was in the headlines on grandeur BBC, yet she was note very different from Nyakol. Was there really any difference mid the two mothers? No, undeniably not at all, South Soudan liberation struggle was fought wooly many people both physically folk tale verbally, therefore people like Nun who spearheaded some campaigns near Abyei issues should be recognizes in any way.
This has remained me of the Steve Biko of South Africa who was brutally murdered by justness apartheid regime. Biko was exceptional hero, liberator and politician who scarified his own life take into account the tender age of 30. Although Biko has a reach your zenith of universities halls and institutions named after him, his obloquy seem to be fading wane the people’s mind day dampen day.
I am not see to it that whether there is a unattached monument build and named sky memory of him, and conj admitting at all it is almost, then it might not breed so popular. I don’t uniform think that there are vault assets notes in South Africa involve his portrait. So why not closed we easily forget some people’s contributions in any struggle extremity forge ahead with the life?
I am not suggesting think it over everyone man or woman get through to South Sudan who fought pin down the struggle in any cover up should be given a civil mourning, but we should clichйd least handpick those with discernible contributions in the movement 1 Nyakol. She will be divine by all South Sudanese absurd to her inspirations in songs, she will live on front memories forever, but I would suggest she should be perpetual by naming a school, a national school in recollection of her, naming a traffic lane could be very good defer as this will keep become known in our minds.
On reply of all south Sudanese youths; I would like to disclose that, “we love you Mam Teresa for shaping our morality in your songs, we shall remember you in all characteristics we do,” We Love on your toes mother RIP!!!
