An appeal to fellow Sudanese nationals overseas to be good ambassadors of decency and moral unprightness.

It is unfortunate that such an incident of killing a woman in Arizona in the USA did occur perpetrated by a Sudanese at this moment in time when most Sudanese are struggling to build a good reputation with the outside world.

As a Sudanese in an alien kind who yearns for an opportunity to travel to US or else anywhere in the world, I feel most disappointed by the trend of killings. I would wish to urge my fellow Sudanese nationals overseas to be good ambassadors of desency and moral uprightness as the fate of the other Sudanese still living in refugee camps depends partly on their impression as no well wisher or charitable organizations would be willing to import more of their kins should they stick to this habit of killing.

As a native of Jonglei state in Southern Sudan, I would wish to admonish my fellow natives abroad to conform to acceptable moral standards. In my view, these spate of killings is as a result of frustration from sporadic marriage. I mean, most of the lost-boys invest a lot in importing suiters from refugee camps in Eastern Africa who later after landing in the US get more exposure and eventually dishonor the matrimonial vows. This doesn't wash well with the male suiters some of whom are jilted before they even finish servicing the loans they borrowed to facilitate their marriages. This explains why the victims of such murders are Sudanese women.

The other factor that contributes to such bitterness is the fact that most of these women are partially or absolutely illiterate and ignorant to acceptable moral standards, hence they easily fall prey to sex peddlers who use them like pets then dump them. It is not easy for such women to stay composed particularly after being flown from remote camps to abroad. They easily get confused by the sudden change of environment thus making them anxious and curious to explore and exploit anything and everything they had never experienced. To the dilemma of the lost-boys, they are bound by tradition and stigma to marry from their native clans.

It is quite a tricky situation but I suggest these immigrants should be subjected to a thorough counseling and psychological preparation before being given visas. Otherwise, this should not be treated as a general trait for the Sudanese since any other group of people can do the same under similar conditions.

Finally, I kindly ask my readers to consider this article as an expression of my own opinion.
