All of us have our troubles. But no matter how unhappy we are, life has to carry on.

We want peace and development in all 10 states of South Sudan - we don't want military backing.

My wish is to be a catalyst, to push for solutions, to broker peace talks, to ensure accountability, especially for those who committed and are still organizing unspeakable crimes.

All around the world, there is corruption, tribalism and division, as many find it easier to pick on those that are different, which is why we need to hold tightly to the good in this world.

I was born into Sudan's civil war, and before I could read or write, I was using an AK47 in the conflict between the Muslim north and Animist/Christian south over the land and natural resources.

But even a medicine man like myself has to have some money, because you force me to live in your make-believe world where I can't get along without it.
