The son of the well-known parents (top politician late Sir. William Deng Nhial Mabuoc and Ayen Parek Machar), Hon. Nhial Deng Nhial was born on 12th May 1957. He is one of the few South Sudanese leaders who started their education journey at the level of nursery school up to the highest level of academic accomplishments. During Secondary School he studied in the best schools including Comboni Secondary School.
Above all, Nhial is naturally born with a very unique noble character and creativeness. Naturally, he is a very quiet person and the most humble person. He hates problems that impact negatively and he loves peace and the well-being of everyone. Because Nhial hates problems, he is always having adjustable reliable means of addressing all kinds of problems and conflicts in order to see humans living safely and happily equally wherever they are.
After finishing his University studies at the University of Khartoum (U of K), with his highly regarded Bachelor Degree in Law, he willingly joined the Sudan People’s Liberation Army/Movement in the 80s. As a man of integrity and values, he knew that fighting for South Sudanese to get Independence was a noble responsibility.
He always believe that faith, wisdom and true love are attached to education and that is what might have compelled him to further studies which he did at Huron University, with a LLM in International Trade Law & Investment from the University of Dundee, UK, after the SPLA/M achieved military goals by securing South Sudan Independence through CPA and Referendum.
First of all, millions of people are approving that Hon. Nhial Deng always works and supports the Government and Communities with good faith as a career diplomat with a solid legal background and faith-based earlier academic records from missionaries’ education institutes and universities.
While he was a Minister for Foreign Affairs from 2011 to 2013 and 2018 to 2018 he served his duties and responsibilities diligently; just as he did when has served as the caretaker in the Ministry of Defense since July 2010. He got removed from jobs many times but losing his job never stopped him from his continued allegiance and patriotism.
He is a man who does not participate in petty politics of gossip and the targeting of some individuals to be fired from the government. He hates to the core, the political game of conflicting communities; many people who might have come across him know this better: anytime a person goes to his office with unnecessary gossip, he doesn’t pretend but requests politely the guest to leave, or stop the discussion or switch to another.
Again, with all the time he has worked, he does attentively give fair treatment, equal respect and dignity to the members of the party who do similar to the ordinary citizens. He has it in his heart that all men and women have fought for this great Country and respecting them can be the best gift to them as per SPLM’s core objectives/principles.
Hon. Nhial has the conviction that the President of the Republic has the ability to move the Country to a better and more peaceful direction with the help of each one of us, and so he takes it as a sole responsibility to contribute to the nation building in every way possible to see South Sudan moving forward. His belief is that external forces can not bring permanent and everlasting solutions to all the problems facing this country.
While he was the Governor of Bahr El Ghazal during the liberation struggle, he morally convinced all the tribes and communities in the region to contribute their resources and manpower which were needed for maintaining military campaigns against the Khartoum regime and in those dark days, Nhial ensured all the resources were in place and used properly. We must not forget it.
Hon. Nhial Deng Nhial is a man of high integrity, hard work, and zeal to serve this nation beyond the expectations of the citizens. Therefore, the most needed ideas and commitment for the restoration of peace, progress and meaningful nation-building required him[Nhial] to be active in the system (Government) around the Chairman of SPLM, the President of South Sudan H.E Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit and his colleagues. This is a truth which nobody can dispute.
Please keep sharing this message to reach the centre of South Sudan’s reasoned decision-making and thank you all for your support to him.
