Deal with ‘‘gangsta groups’’ and lifestyle with no sympathy
Juba City Council, under the stewardship of Mayor Michael Allah-Jabu, conducted a successful crackdown in the city over the weekend, rounding up 33 suspected members of various gangs operating under niggers.
A statement from the Juba City Council revealed that teenage boys and girls who were arrested in the process were suspected to have been recruited into these criminal gangs, which have blossomed to the extent of branding T-shirts with their identities to show their allegiance.
Some of them were reported to be members of criminal gangs such as Fire Boys International (FBI), Ganja Group, Black Warriors, Toronto, Soldier Boys, Finger Boys, Bad Still Boys, and Young Money, among others, which operate under their umbrella, the Niggers.
In his speech to the media, the mayor hailed the crackdown as successful but also ended it with a warning that it would continue past the Easter period to ensure that the Juba neighbourhoods are secure.
“We are moving on ahead and shall not stop until we end this issue of niggers in the city.” “We are not going to allow this practise to go on,” he said
“We are looking for the ring leaders of this so-called nigger groups, and when we get them, they shall face the law,” he added.
What the law enforcers did was commendable. The suspects were set free upon the prevalence of their parents, who called on the police to forgive them. The city council boss said that it was out of the goodness of heart that these young men and women were released to their family members. This was a humane gesture that ought to be carefully exercised. Why should there be any care in exercising this sort of decision? Well. Obviously, South Sudanese law does not recognise the existence of these gangs because they are based on unlawful assembly, which is outside the basic human rights enshrined in the United Nations Charter. This implies that even if the suspects were not accused of any criminal activity like mugging or robbery by violence, their subscriptions to illegal gangs could merit a sufficient offense worth punishment. Hence, their release should have been handled procedurally. This is not to dispute the action taken by the city council because the end game is to have these young men and women embrace reforms for their own well-being in the future.
Secondly, the subset groups of the so-called Niggers must be curtailed. In most cases, and in most countries, gangs develop bloody rivalries apart from their engagements in other crimes. If not addressed, these gang members will grow into uncontrollable social problems in Juba.
