QUOTE: “It is good now that it is my own people who have betrayed me. But I promise never to do anything bad to Twic as long as I live. To be honest, Twic President Charles Chol Mel has been heavily involved in pleading with me to reinstate Cueibet, to the point that he sent Hon. Thiik Thiik Mayardit to convince me regarding the Cueibet case.

We reviewed the decision following the Gok Youth apology, sportsmanship shown by Gok players and their leadership, and pleas from Twic fans and leadership, particularly President Chol Mel. so I don’t regret anything because it is my own people who have betrayed me before the people of Bahr el Ghazal.”

🚩Quote: “withdrawal of a team affects the county’s representatives to BCT, players and entire team. Now that Twic has withdrawn, they have withdrawn the representatives like Longar Magokdit and myself Majok Ayar. What will keep me in BCT now is the leadership given to me as the president by the people of Bahr el Ghazal but according to constitution My county has withdrawn with all its members from BCT. I never expected this from my own people. To other counties of Bahr el Ghazal, let the issue of withdrawing stop with Twic. It’s not good. It prevents even players from playing for another county.”

Sport is a powerful tool for unity and harmony in South Sudan. Through supporting the National Basketball Team, people from different communities come together with a shared sense of pride and purpose.
As seen in the photos, sport promotes friendship, strengthens national identity, and encourages peaceful coexistence among South Sudanese.

Subject: Let Us Restore the Name of Twic Mayardit in the Bahr el Ghazal Tournament

To:
Hon. Chol Mel Ayuel, President of Twic Mayardit Community
Cc: Twic Elders, Youth, and Tournament Delegates

Dear President Chol Mel,

I write as a son of Twic with pain in my heart about this withdrawal.

President, I have these questions because I want us to be better:

1. After our people injured Yirol West players, we didn't bring them to book or console Yirol West players last year, did we? Did we hand them over? Did we apologize? If we did nothing, then we cannot complain when others treat us badly.

2. You were the one who forgave Cueibet and asked the President to bring them back. Why are we turning our back again? If we want peace, we must keep our word.

3. The current President of Bahr el Ghazal Counties Tournament is a son from Twic. One day that seat may be yours. Would you want to be treated the way we are treating Majok Ayar today? Let’s not do to others what we don’t want them to do to us tomorrow.

4. Did you sit with the fans and the entire Twic community before deciding on withdrawal? Or was the decision made without us? We need to be consulted.

5. We say our players’ safety matters. But as President, did you provide security persons to guide our teams to every match? If you didn’t, then it’s you who failed them.

Mr. President, I’m sorry. I never knew Twicda could look this scary.
Now they are mocking us as if the bravery in us died with our ancestors.

We are Twic Mayardit known with sportsmanship and never quit. We are better than this.
Nhialic nhom, let’s restore our name.

With respect and pain,
A Son of Twic Mayardit
