WHO ARE THE CARBONATED DINKAS?

Are those who were born or grew up in Khartoum (Sudan), Kakuma (Kenya), Rhino Camp (Uganda) or in the West. Majority of them holds a refuge status. Majority of them are in Canada today because of their academic brilliance. They don’t forget home. They didn’t forget their friends and families back in South Sudan and East Africa.

Carbonated Dinkas are less concerned about politics. In fact, before the 2013 and 2016 war, they were never bothered about the politics of South Sudan. They just knew President Kiir, Dr. Riek and Wani Igga. One of the many traits they’ve is that, they’re less than forty years of age. Another trait is that, those who went to USA, UK and Australia are working in the meat factories, some are Uber drivers and others are running Day cares. They rarely buy cows unless they’re marrying.

Talk of marriage. What they do best is to convince their families in the village to look for Aluel, confuse her family with few dollars and then she becomes an automatic new bride. After the marriage, figure out how soon he would take the her to stay with him and be a helper and then their kids forget their mother tongue. And the chain of continues.

The carbonated Dinkas in East Africa somehow holds the status of the Lazarus and the rich man in the Bible. (It’s in the Gospel of Luke) find it by yourself. Others have joined Church Ministry. They’re called Jol Wo Liech (mind the spellings).
Whatever comes their way, they will grab it with two hands. This is where you and I belongs.

Carbonated Dinkas comes to South Sudan to look for jobs. Before we go deep, you know Dinkas are divided into two majors: the Dinka and Muonyjang and, now, we have the Carbonated Dinka. So can we go continue now? Thank you.

Anyway, they comes to South Sudan to look for jobs. They will take any available job they will get: boda-boda riding, they can be waiters and waitresses, Rickshaw drivers, etc, etc. They study promising courses like engineering, medicine, public health, economics, journalism, accounting, among many, but they will have to stay for a period not less than eight months without finding better jobs.

Carbonated Dinkas are minority. They’re few in numbers. They walk in groups. They rarely rent in big houses like “Special Dinkas”. I know you want to ask me who are the f*king Special Dinkas. Wait, I’m coming there shortly. They don’t know connection. They try to be honest because they don’t know the system. They have clean CVs.
I think, should the world gets the vaccine today, I have a feeling they will be the last group to get vaccinated.

Carbonated Dinkas don’t speak Arabic or not even fluent at all. They know fifty percent of their mother tongue. They aims to sustain their lives first and then goes to developmental issues. Their CVs are in every office. They’ve uncles, in-laws, close members of their families in big public offices but don’t give a hoot about them. They have three jeans and four faded t-shirts. Two shoes with harden soles. They don’t have soft skins. When they get good jobs, it’s the NGO sector that’s capable of employing them.

The last group is the “Special Dinkas”. They don’t have the brain but holds the power. They’re found in comfy offices. They reports to work between 9-10am. They takes their lunch between 11:00am-2:30pm. They call their country Southern Sudan. They mismanage public funds and they don’t care. They live in lavish apartments. They’ve V-8s but don’t have their own houses. When every African is going for holiday in his or her village during festive seasons, they becomes direct occupants of those cities.

The truth is, 2020 hasn’t been that bad, had Corona Virus stayed back in 2019. Doors were beginning to open for Carbonated Dinkas and every youth in South Sudan. Now that we’re being narrowed down on the expenses of God-know-how. Let’s just keep nursing our wounds.
Thank you for your wishes on the 15th.
