THE YOUNG MAN WHO FOUND WHAT HAS BEEN MISSING IN HIS COMMUNITY

MAN OF THE PEOPLE is a realistic story written by Madhol A Bol know as Jeremiah Madhol Ater. The book describes how different communities have been having bitter rivalry for years due to land ownership and livestock issues. The author details how these two communities have been engaging in wars over the years as the generations come and go but never have they managed to come together to find a long-lasting peace until the time a young man was born. A man was born by two parents who came from these two different rival communities who happened to have married each other when the two communities had a short peace that was cut short again due to some reasons related to their unending rivalry. Despite the challenges from both sides who never wanted to come together, the young man managed to bring the two communities together. He sacrificed and dedicated himself although his life was almost being terminated by the people who never wanted peace to come over the land, as a dedicated man, he managed to achieve his goal. The book is based on non-fiction and it clearly conveys the true image of most of the South Sudanese communities and other African communities who undergo the same experience as explained in the MAN OF THE PEOPLE. The theme of the book is how societies put their interests over the common values that bring them together as a society. Moreover, we also see how one person who cares more about the peaceful co-existence of the society sacrifices to ensure that the differences do not burn the society. There is also a clear indication of how people focus on the past, find ways to ensure that they avenge what was done to them in the past few and not think about what the future has for them. They do go ahead to oppose people who want the best for the community to satisfy their interests. These are what we see in the society we see today and people; like Luong are always there to ensure that things happen the way we want them to be but we never support them, instead, we turn against them.

THE FINAL AND LONG-LASTING RELIEF

Luong first paid a visit to the paramount chief of Geer, a community where his father came, from, revered in the village and neighbouring communities. People pay attention to whatever the messiah who claimed to find a solution to the problem that has defeated many people has to say. Luong expressed his wish for peace between the two groups to him. I've come before you today, Beny (Geer's word for chief or leader), to first ask for your forgiveness and then for your assistance in this matter. What's the big deal, young man? Ucholo and Geer have a rivalry. I know that if you embrace this with all of your heart, peace will come for the stability of the next generation. I have faith in your ability to complete this mission. "What made you think this was possible, young man"? asked the chief. "Do you think the other community will comply with our request"? By asking him that question, Sultan(a local name for the chief) made it easy for him. I'll do my utmost to get to the other chief, but only with your assistance. I am confident that if you write him a letter as a token of your devotion to peace, he will listen. You're such a polite gentleman. For the first time in over a century, the chief wrote a letter to the other, proposing a dialogue for peace between the two peoples. Luong took on the most dangerous mission to bring peace to these two groups, and he went to the other side. He was targeted on his way to the other side of the Ucholo community by a group sent by his father's uncle and the enemies of peace. They injured him but he was able to flee. On the other hand, he found it easy to communicate because he spoke his mother's language, making it easier for him to communicate with the other chief. He was welcomed by the chief of Uchala when he went to the palace. He explained why he came, but when it was revealed that he was from the Geer tribe, everyone went crazy, including the chief, but what perplexed them was his ability to communicate fluently in Ucholo. He clarified that his mother is a Ucholo descendant. The chief calmed the crowd and agreed to Geer's call for peace. For the first time, the two great supreme leaders held peace concerts with pure intentions of bringing the people together, and the two communities reached the first formal lasting peace. One simple young man, Luong, made it possible. He was praised by everyone and received a lot of gifts from the two communities.
