SINGING OUR MARTYRSSINGING OUR MARTYRS By AIM On such a day, date, the year 2005, the people of Southern Sudan experienced the greatest tragedy in their history as a political community. It was also on this day that Dr. Garang de Mabior Atem passed on. Dr Garang, according to ,many,was a man who led Southern Sudanese for 22 years in a protracted liberation struggle for liberty, justice and human dignity. Even as Southern Sudanese and the entire International Community commemorate this saddest of events, the SPLM and the Government of Southern Sudan do not only want to immortalize the memory of this great leader and martyr but also aim to remind its followers about the teachings, ideals and legacy of Dr. John Garang de Mabior. It is not lost that since the inception of the armed struggle in May 1983, Dr. John Garang had been at the helm of our Movement, steering it through hitherto unchartered waters with wisdom, tact and hallmark single-mindedness. Dr. John Garang de Mabior was a thinker, philosopher, scholar, politician, economist and an outstanding military strategist. As a thinker and politician, he conceived the idea of a New Sudan in which all will be equal without losing any aspects of their individual or group peculiarities normally associated with religion or culture. He developed through sheer conviction and perseverance a political agenda which won considerable support across the Sudanese political, religious, ethnic and cultural landscape. By his unique gifts of eloquence, oratory and persuasiveness, Dr. John Garang de Mabior broke through barriers between the North and South that had never even been dented before. He galvanized...
