COMMENT FROM BROTHER ELON KUWA.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY AND GIVE YOU MORE WISDOM.
Brother, I have read your long message carefully, and honestly, what disappoints me most is not your disagreement, but the selective way you choose to analyse situations. You speak as if you alone possess wisdom while everyone else speaking out is driven by emotions, hatred, or hidden agendas. That approach itself is dangerous because it attempts to silence painful realities under the disguise of “peace” and “calmness.”
You say people should be careful with their words because social media can fuel tensions. That is true. But silence in the face of injustice can also fuel anger, frustration, and hopelessness among suffering people. Sometimes people speak loudly because they feel ignored, marginalised, unheard, and abandoned. You cannot continuously lecture wounded communities about tone while avoiding the deeper causes of their pain.
You accused Brother Jargi’s words of provoking emotions and deepening divisions, yet your own message carries subtle accusations, assumptions about intentions, and indirect character attacks. You repeatedly question motives instead of addressing the realities people are crying about. It is easy to call others “emotional” when you are sitting comfortably analysing their pain from a distance.
You also mention political differences with Abdulaziz and his administration as if every criticism automatically becomes a political conspiracy. That is unfair and intellectually weak. Not every strong voice against injustice is motivated by political hatred. Some people are simply tired of remaining silent while communities suffer repeatedly.
Another problem in your statement is the assumption that speaking strongly is equal to promoting violence. Those are two different things. A person can speak with anger because of injustice without calling for hatred or bloodshed. Pain naturally produces strong emotions, and trying to police every emotional expression while people are mourning only creates more resentment.
You speak repeatedly about peace, reconciliation, and wisdom, which sounds good publicly, but peace without truth becomes empty language. Reconciliation without accountability becomes hypocrisy. Communities cannot heal by being told only to calm down while the real issues remain untouched.
What many people are tired of is this culture where anyone who speaks boldly is immediately labelled divisive, dangerous, emotional, or politically motivated. That mentality discourages honest conversations and protects failed leadership from criticism. Peace should never mean suppressing uncomfortable truths.
You advised people to use “the eyes of the mind and not only the emotions of the heart.” Fair enough. Then let us also use the eyes of fairness and honesty. Let us stop pretending that anger appears from nowhere. Let us stop acting as though those speaking passionately are automatically enemies of peace while those speaking softly are automatically wise.
The Nuba people indeed need peace builders, but peace builders are not people who minimise frustration or shame others for speaking strongly. Real peace builders confront painful truths directly, even when those truths make people uncomfortable.
At this moment, our people do not only need calm language. They need justice, honesty, courage, accountability, and leaders who are willing to face reality instead of constantly correcting the emotions of wounded communities.
But thank you so much for your compliment.
