A rocket strike on Tel Aviv has resulted in nine initial casualties. Media sources within the Israeli regime suggest that Tuesday morning's attack represents the largest Iranian missile offensive against Israel to date in the ongoing war.

Freedom of thoughts and Expression are Universal human rights. But we can't let our self_interests make our society apart.

A response to my learned comrade, Thomas Hou.

Dear my learned comrade Thomas Hou, comradeship salutations.
I'm writing this piece of article with hope that it will fine you safe in your comfort zone.

Reference to your recent article dated back to Wednesday march 18__2026 posted on your social media page regarding the formation of steering committee for Aweil East county's youth Union in which you expressed your "opinion" doubting with skepticism to why the Union was formed for, and what could be the reason behind the formation when there are some associations expressing the views and the voice of Aweil Youths in Juba.

Having read youth position on the formation of steering committee special in your fourth paragraph where you asked some hypothetical questions regarding the interests behind the formation. I Quoted you in this paragraph:

"The formation of the Aweil East County Youths Union seems to be driven by the interests of a small group of individuals who appointed themselves without transparency"

As you stated above, I want to approach you with respect regarding your opinion, for opinion and freedom of thoughts are universal, but let's examine the facts.

Transparency as simply it's can not be done in situation like formation of steering committee, unless or otherwise one has to go farther in doing the research what the word "transparency" deeply meant for. Let's not allow ourselves to be dragged by our own political interests.

Our community is greatest than our interests and therefore, we have to put out individuals interests apart and let's strive for will make our society great. Transparency as good as it's, had been a cornerstone for an society who need progress but we have to know when we should call for equals representations, transparency and accountable leadership, and that would be when we have permeant leadership elected by the people in the place.

Comrade, the formation of steering committee shouldn't be democratic, one family can do it if they have that capacity of putting the interest of the people ahead.

Aweil Youth Union as you stated in youth writing is our genuine body representing Northern Barh El Ghazal youths and that most of the counties have their own responsible for the welfare of their counties
E.g Aweil West, Aweil South, Aweil North and Center have their youth association bodies.

Why do we see the formation of Aweil East county youths union as political driven association rather than association like other counties association?

In addition to that, the right for the people to assemble and associates is fundamental rights enshrined in our transitional constitution. Every society, community are given alienable rights to exercise their freedom.

We therefore, want to avoid unconstructive criticism as seek to united our people together for common welfare of our people.

Our position as youth would have been, how could we contribute towards this steering committee to achieve this wonderful initiative, but not stamping them at the back

Aweil East county is our common interests that binds us together.
Thomas Hou has to make different between community and personal interest.

I will be writing precisely to respond his recent article.

ICT__Ministry isn't for those who are dramatic in nature, it isn't for those who speakers fluently in English, it's not merely for writers who writes extensively more articles on daily bases criticizing whoever they think are obstacles to their appointments.

The ministry of information, telecommunications and postal services need a gaint academician with more knowledge in the field of modern technologies. Not hand_picked drama makers who lack career to which he might be better in.
