Dear all,
I am really wondering how registering to vote while outside of Sudan which lifts up the total percentage of the Southerners while there are no guarantees of actually going to Sudan help voting for secession?
We know that voting for secession will require 60% to be succeeded. If we lift up the total percentage by registering and we don't go, those registrations/votes will be counted lose. For example, if people of the South are 10 million, then the required 60% to win the secession will be 6 million. But if we "people from outside" lift up the total of the Southerners to make them "for example" 15 millions, then the required 60% to win the secession will be 9 millions. If those who registered did go to Sudan to vote, "let us say 3 millions did not go and only 2 millions went", then the calculation will be very hard for the South to get 9 millions out of only 12 millions. Because the total of Southerners in the South will be 10+2 millions.
On the other hand, if we do not register and keep the total of Southerners be only 10 millions "estimated number" then we keep the required number to win the secession only 6 millions. If those who are able to go have actually made it to Sudan, then their number will be still added to vote and we may easily bit the required 6 millions out of 12 millions.
Unless there are somethings I did not know, registering is not good for us.

Plan "B" Abyei Referendum
Dear all,
Based on the article bellow, I want to propose an internal Southern (SPLM) "Plan B" for Abyei situation
The postponement may be a good idea to secure and block more coming of Masseria to Abyei and use the time to actually redeploy/relocate more of Southern IDPs in Abyei area. There are natural, economical, social, health and political situations that can be use as reasons why we should relocate some tribes and IDPs in Abyei. Once we add more 100s of thousands into Abyei, we'd actually secured three major front of battling Abyei out of the North.
1- We can compete in fare elections if Masseria continued their occupancy.
2- We can indirectly promote more of the World's Society's attention to why they should increase their peace keeping efforts and find ways of solution.
3- Indirectly increase possibilities of Southern armed civilians in the area.
That is my humble opinion..

Postponement of Abyei Referendum is Undesirable But May Be Unavoidable' - RVI
Juba — A report by a respected research organisation says that January's referendum in Sudan's oil-rich border region of Abyei may have to be postponed until April due to severe delays to preparations.
Abyei's referendum will determine whether the region remains as part of the north or joins what could be a newly-independent south. As part of a 2005 peace deal that ended 22 years of civil war the south is due to hold a simultaneous self determination vote.
With less than 70 days to go until voting is due to begin the Rift Valley Institute (RVI) report concludes that 'brinkmanship, delay and broken agreements - old traditions of Sudanese politics - threaten to turn the political and technical challenges of the referenda into a national disaster.'
Last week the head of the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission conducting the referendum process during the remaining short period will be a complete miracle.
The parties to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) Sudan's ruling National Congress Party and the former southern rebels the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) have failed to implement the majority of the deal on time.
Senior NCP politicians have suggested that Abyei's vote be delayed in order to resolve north-south boundary demarcation, the appointment of members of the referendum commission, the question of voter eligibility and residency and issues of public security.
For these reasons 'postponement of the Abyei referendum is undesirable but may be unavoidable' the report said.
If the members of the commission to run the vote (who were due to be named in January this year) are not named within the next two weeks 'it will not be practicable to hold the Abyei referendum on time' the report says.
Talks to resolve the Abyei issue have remain deadlocked.
The NCP has insisted that the Misseriya tribe, who enter Abyei with their cattle for a few months each year be given full voting rights. But the SPLM have refused, saying only permanent residents - the vast majority of whom are Dinka Ngok a tribe alligned with the south - are able to vote.
Consequently no timetable for voter registration in Abyei has been agreed.
As things stand the report says that Abyei's poll is so far behind schedule that the legal requirements of the poll may not be met.
The report's author Aly Verjee argues that the best way to avoid the Abyei and southern referenda becoming a 'national disaster' triggering a third north-south civil war is a 'political fix' in the form a new deal or 'Comprehensive Peace Agreement II'.
As well outstanding issues regarding the process of the referenda, any new deal should also agree on post-referenda issues, such as citizenship and sharing of oil revenues from the south's oil fields.
The new deal should see both sides 'recommit' to the referendum process and restate that they will the result but also agree on a 'possible date for a postponed Abyei referendum'.
Despite suggestion that the Abyei referendum may have to be postponed by around three months the delaying of the southern vote would not solve any of the existing problems, the report says.
"Even with an agreement between the parties to modify the provisions of the referenda laws, there is barely time for registration: for procedural decisions to be taken and acted on and for registration itself to take place. All these stages could also be subject to dispute between the parties," it says.
International Recognition
The SPLM, who have governed the south since the CPA in 2005, have suggested that the south could hold it's own referendum independently of the NCP in the event that the two sides are unable to reach agreement on key issues, which may prevent the referenda going ahead on time.
But the RVI report rejects the idea arguing that any process that does not involve the full participation of Sudan's ruling party would render the exercise entirely meaningless.
A unilateral referendum, would not only contravene some articles of the CPA, the report says, the other consequence is that 'under these conditions would be unlikely to gain full international recognition or promote national consensus.'
April' Elections
Meanwhile for the referenda to have credulity, the report notes, they will have to held to a higher standard than this year's April elections.
Describing the referenda as "unique and unrepeatable events," the report urges the referenda commission to establish a higher standard than that achieved by the electoral commission in the 2010 elections, through adequate staff training and effective administration.
RVI is a non-profit research and training organisation operating in Sudan, the Horn of Africa, East Africa and the Great Lakes, with projects designed to inform aid interventions, support local research capacity, record indigenous culture and promote human rights
Argument on Nubia & Nuba, with Dr. Kuel Jok
Kuel,
Just a refresher –I did not get Ting’s email and I was going to respond to him regardless of what had transpired between us in private emails. Secondly, the content of what I’d posted was inflicted by the shortcomings of our conversations. You have attempted to apologize in our private emails, but did not actually apologize. You said you accidently generalized people’s stuff but you were referring to someone else’s in your previous exchanges. The truth is; you just wanted to play it smart. You see Kuel, a man should be embrace in public when they are humble and full of integrity. You don’t expect to take people’s rights and expect nothing in defense. What I meant by that is: you are not convinced that what I am saying is legit let alone the facts that my point is the truth that you have to atlist respect. The only way to do so is to come back and prove my point.
I will try to sum up most of your questions in one big answer: "I am not trying to compete with you nor did I despise your specialties. I respect and believe in your credentials" I could make researches to answer you, but since I believed that they are irrelevant, I will just answer them by the word “Irrelevant” With that big picture in mind, I hope I may eliminate some of the questions such as question number 3 and any other similar ones. I thought I would answer your letter by inserting my comments in blue which should help us. If we need to further discuss this I am certainly happy to do so. Here is your letter:
“You privately wrote to me yesterday and had privately responded, while the subject-matter was not private in its nature, but you chose to privatise it. Now, you revived what we had sealed in our private emails in a different character that embody insults and derogatory descriptions such as 'lordship' 'arrogance' etc. Please, answer me honestly on the following:
1. Is my definition of your material as 'a trashy stuff' defines you as Giir or defines the stuff?
It is indeed defining the stuff, but I am responsible to prove them not trashy.
2. Do you really know historical Kush Kingdom better than me in this field of speciality? Irrelevant.
3. Tell me, are you an expert in which field? Irrelevant. What is the subject-matter between the historical or mythical Kush? Irrelevant. Do you understand the diference between the calss of mythology and history in this particular context of Kush and what class I am pursuing? Irrelevant. What qualifies you better than me to interpret Dr Garang intention(s) between history and myth in regard to Kush? The better question is what makes you think you are right? It has never been about you and me; it is the truth that lies out there.
When Dr Garang named the SPLA Battalion as 'Kush', under the command of Yusuf Kwua Makki did he elicite that Name from the Bible or from the historical Kush of Nubia?
This is the core of our argument. I would do as much as I can to come out with what I am saying.
First of all, there is difference between the Nuba of Abdel Aziz El Hilu in Jibal El Nuba and the Nubia of Mohammad El Wardi in Northern Sudan. Let me introduce the difference:
Nuba of Jibal El Nuba,
Nuba Mountains was a refuge place for a combination of different tribes around Africa who fled governments and slave traders. As a result, over 100 languages are spoken in the area. After decades, they became the native of the area.
http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~ai38/Sudan/nuba.htm
http://bresh22000.blogspot.com/2008/12/history-of-nuba.html
Nubia of Marawe is a tribe that was divided into two groups after the independence of Sudan in 1956. They live in Southern Egypt and some in Northern Sudan. At one point they used to be the Kingdom of Kush for over 5000 years.
http://wysinger.homestead.com/nubians.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubia
The word Nuba represented people of Kush, Ethiopians and any black man at the time. Since every black Egyptians “Kush’ came from the south “Saeiid El Masr”, they called them Nuba. Consequently, in the time of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, black people of Nuba Mountains were named Nuba because they were black people who came from southern areas. They evidently did not come from Kush nor did they know what Kush is. They were not called Nuba, in fact, they did not have a common name. Therefore, the synonymy of their conditions was behind the name Nuba and so of Kush Battalion.
I hope you are not talking about this attraction as the attraction of Garang to the people of Kush to join the movement. Because Nuba of Jibal El Nuba are not Kushiites. If they should be called so, then we “in the South” should be entitle to the name as well.
Dr. Garang’s claim of Kush kingdom was not upon people of Jibal El Nuba, it was on the origin of our ancestors. As he said before, Kush who disappeared descended us all. If you want to dispute how could that be true, then it is a different case.
5. What is the research question I have answered in my email to the national anthem committeee through Mayom Bul? Irrelevant.
6. Is www.coms sources are authentic sources for a research question on the issue of Kush? Coms are like books; some are credentialed and some are not. You would have to use your academicism. For example http://www.ushistory.org/ would be an authentic source and so on.
This is a homework for you. And as I told you in our private email that I would be busy in a memorial occasion of Manut M.Bol on saturday, therefore, I would not be ready to correct your assigment, but possibly on Sunday. Bear in mind, if you deviate from this noble homework, then I would define you off as a person resisting learning and ignore your stuff.
I am glad I was in position to respect your beliefs”

" A Venting Session" السوداني القرفان
One always ask why is the government of Sudan is only employing or promoting people with lack of integrity, people who are rejected by the World's Society? If they are elected in the nearest future, will they bring prosperity to the nation?
Watch this video of a mad Sudanese, on his "venting session" is trying to be heard in a meeting with Dr. Kamil Idris, a former member of International Law Commission in 1992-1996 & 2000-2001, also a Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) 1997-2008. He was also head of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants. Kamil Idris stepped down a year early from its post of head of WIPO, amidst "allegations of misconduct". According to the International Herald Tribune, Kamil Idris "who used a false birth date for more than two decades accepted a package including an extra year's salary and full pension benefits before he offered to resign over questions about his integrity." Kamil Idris blames the birth date discrepancy on a typographical error. On the other hand, Jessica Stark, spokeswoman for Ohio University, disputed that Kamil's master of Art in Political Science was not true, she told the press that he received instead a Master of Arts in African Studies. In spite of these titles, he failed to observe basic human rights of his countryman.
Nonetheless, the video represents millions of Sudanese who are not heard by any one and yet leaders anticipate their ballots counted. It is only a one minute and 22 seconds. Here is the السوداني القرفان video of:

Perdicament of Changes in South Sudan
Good news: New restaurants/hotels in Wau/South as in general.
Bad news: Landmarks are not remodeled.
July 21, 2010
Dear all, look at the attached photos of some of the landmark places in Wau. Cde. Justin Juk Ring, Denmark's Chairperson had stopped in these places in June of 2010. He was surprised that some places did not change at all.
A relative commented on these attachments and said:
"A lot of things are still the same way they were 27 years ago, especially Mojamaa Wau. It looks like time just froze in Wau for the last 20 plus years. I mean it brings back good memories on the one hand, while it is depressing on the other hand ... because obviously nothing has changed (no development) for more than 28 years."
William Akok.
I on the other hand think that it is sad that most places did not change, however, I would want to break it down to reasons of why some places may have not been touched since then. I think people who may have cared about these sport places or any other place that did not change may not have been back to Southern cities. If some of them did, they did not have power at the time to rebuild or build new places. You can see how other places have really advanced. The attached are examples of places that have advanced and places that did not advance. Look at the hotel room with the mahogany bed, restaurants/bars, look at that building; from the look outside, I would rate the building as a 7 stars restaurant/hotel or what ever it is. That tells me that only politicians and business minded individuals are the ones that occupy majority of today's powers of South Sudan. Even if there are few people who may have thought of such places, they may have been overwhelmed by the general trend. The rest of people who are capable of bringing all colors are still here. You are here; You can really spice up and bring about the entire change if you go; If I go; If we all go!!!!!!
Let me conclude that the time has come to an end. This is a very right time to go back if you have proper papers. May be you are the one that South Sudan was missing.

In Sudan, War Is Around the Corner
"The New York Times" Published in Openion: July 12, 2010
By DAVE EGGERS and JOHN PRENDERGAST
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/13/opinion/13eggers.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=Prendergast&st=cse
FOR many good reasons, Americans are doubting our ability as a nation to positively influence events abroad. We’re involved in two conflicts with dubious outcomes and we’ve begun to question whether any step we take, anywhere, will be the right one. But it was not long ago that the United States intervened abroad in a bold way that led to undeniably positive results.
Times Topic: SudanFrom 1983 to 2005, more than two million people died and four million were forced from their homes in southern Sudan during a war between the government and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army. Shortly after George W. Bush entered the White House, he decided he would put the full diplomatic leverage of the United States to work in ending this war, one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th century.
He succeeded. In 2005, the United States helped broker a comprehensive peace agreement between the Sudanese government and the southerners. It was an important moment for international diplomacy and a prime example of what the United States can do when it focuses its influence effectively.
In the clear, simple and eminently enforceable peace agreement, South Sudan was granted three crucial things: robust participation in the central government while ruling the south semi-autonomously; a 50-50 split of all oil revenues (the country’s oil is largely in the south); and the ability, in 2011, to vote to secede via referendum.
The assumption in Sudan is that when the referendum comes, southerners will vote overwhelmingly for secession. Since Sudan became independent in 1956, the people in the south have been marginalized, terrorized and subjected to countless human rights violations under successive regimes in Khartoum, and the possibility of forming a new nation in 2011 is viewed by southerners as a sacred right.
But the referendum is scheduled for January, a mere six months away, and all signs indicate that the Khartoum government will undermine the voting process or not recognize its results. The ruling National Congress Party has stalled on virtually every pertinent part of the peace agreement, and the national and local elections in April — which most international observers agree were stained by fraud — are a foreboding precedent.
If January comes and goes without a referendum, or if the results are manipulated, then fighting will break out. Both sides have been arming themselves since the peace agreement, so this iteration of north-south violence will be far worse than ever before. And if war resumes in the south, the conflict in Darfur, in western Sudan, will surely explode again.
To allow this triumph of international diplomacy to collapse and leave the people of southern Sudan vulnerable is unconscionable. But the questions are stark: what can the United States do to help prevent a war that could cost millions of lives? How can the United States once again influence the behavior of a government willing to commit crimes against humanity to maintain power?
These are certainly the worries of the Obama administration. Maj. Gen. Scott Gration, the administration’s special envoy to Sudan, recently said: “We have no leverage. We really have no pressure.”
But we do have leverage. The peace in Sudan is one the United States “owns.” Developing a more robust package of carrots and sticks — rolled out multilaterally when possible, unilaterally if necessary — would strengthen America’s diplomatic hand, not weaken it.
We propose that the threatened pressures should include placing sanctions on key ruling party officials, blocking debt relief from the International Monetary Fund, supporting International Criminal Court arrest warrants (including the one issued on Monday for Sudan’s president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, for three counts of genocide in Darfur), tightening the United Nations arms embargo and providing further support to the south.
For this diplomatic effort to be effective, real incentives should be on the table as well: If — and only if — true peace comes to Sudan, we could offer conditional, one-year suspensions of the International Criminal Court warrants and normalization of relations between Khartoum and Washington. And experienced American negotiating teams should be deployed immediately to support African Union and United Nations efforts already under way to end the war in Darfur and prevent one between the north and south, just as we did with the 2005 deal.
Bill Clinton often says his greatest regret as president is that he didn’t do more to stop the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. There were signs that trouble was brewing long before the killing started, but when it did begin, Mr. Clinton and the international community did not act decisively.
This is President Obama’s Rwanda moment, and it is unfolding now, in slow motion. It is not too late to prevent the coming war in Sudan, and protect the peace we helped build five short years ago.

Dignitaries, Friends Say Farewell to NBA's Manute Bol
A funeral was held on Tuesday for former National Basketball Association star Manute Bol at Washington's National Cathedral. The towering shot blocker from southern Sudan was remembered more for his off-the-court humanitarianism than for his on-the court play.
In death as in life, Manute Bol towered above others. His specially made 2.44 meter long casket was covered in a white pall emblazoned with red crosses as it was wheeled into the massive gothic cathedral.
Bol died on June 19 at age 47 from kidney failure brought on by a skin condition attributed to medical care he received while traveling in his native Sudan.
Bol joined the Washington Bullets, now called the Wizards, in 1985. By the time he retired 10 seasons later, Bol had amassed 2,086 blocked shots and 1,599 points - the only NBA player with more blocks than points scored.
Rory Sparrow, the NBA's vice president of Player Development, told mourners that not even Michael Jordan was able to intimidate the smiling Dinka tribesman.
"I remember one time when we were teasing him at one game. I was playing for the [Chicago] Bulls and I was teasing him about what Michael Jordan was going to do to him," he said. "And he just laughed and he said, 'What Michael Jordan? Why should I be afraid of Michael Jordan? I kill lion. He come in, I block his shot.' And sure enough, he blocked his shot. Michael made a couple of dunks, but hey, Manute stood his ground," said Sparrow.
Bol was later traded to Golden State. He later played for Philadelphia and Miami before returning to Washington. His highest NBA salary was $1.5 million dollars per year. While in Washington, he often protested at the Sudanese Embassy to draw attention to his home country's civil war. When he returned to Sudan in 1998, Bol supported a large extended family. He gave more than $3.5 million to a Dinka-led rebel group in Southern Sudan, and later lost his fortune, and was forced to sell his house and possessions. A political dispute left him in virtual exile in his country.
By 2001, Bol was almost destitute. He sometimes appeared in promotional stunts, such as a boxing match against former Chicago Bears defensive lineman William "Refrigerator" Perry to raise funds for his homeland. He said at the time he did it to save people's lives, not for the money.
Bol was later admitted to the United States as a religious refugee where his rent in Connecticut was paid by a Catholic charity. The former NBA star was nearly killed in a 2003 car accident. But Bol's experiences led him to rededicate himself to helping others, particularly children and the dispossessed in Sudan. His goal was to build 41 schools across the country.
"I can't think of a person that I know of in the world that used their celebrity status for a greater good than what Manute Bol did. He used it for his people, he gave his life for his people," said Brownback.
Manute Bol worked with Sudan Sunrise, which seeks to help bring about reconciliation between Christians, animists and Muslims in Southern Sudan.
Sudan Sunrise founder, Reverend Canon Tom Prichard, says Bol's work to reconcile former enemies lives on.
"Manute's legacy and vision of education and reconciliation, his determination to grow grassroots reconciliation - whether that reconciliation is expressed in a country that divides or holds together, wherever the boundary lines are drawn. Manute stood for grassroots reconciliation," said Prichard.
Manute Bol's family patriarch, Bol Bol Chol, praised his nephew's efforts to bring about reconciliation between Muslims and Christians in Sudan - including Darfurians, who, he said, killed as many as 250 of Bol's relatives.
"This man is not an ordinary man. I believe this man is a messenger like others messengers who were sent into this world - to do something in this world. He has accomplished most of his mission, and so God took him and left the rest of the work to be done by others," said Chol.
Manute Bol's remains will be flown to Sudan where they will be interred near his grandfather in a family cemetery.
SOMEONE ALMOST KILLED ME ON JUNE 19, 2010
As I drove East of I-84, heading to a friend's wedding in Utah, running a little over 75 mph, a suicidal man who was driving West bound decided to cross to drive in the opposite direction, heading towards my car with almost the very same speed. He did not yield at me at all. He appeared determined to take my life and his as well. So, as the two speeds collided, I did not even have a time to digest what was going to happen. I saw him from about hundreds of yards and all of the sudden he was just right in front of me, not yielding at all. With a quick move I swung to the far right and again to the far left to adjust the balance that I had lost. On the right side of the road, there was some sort of a down the hill. I could also have just got dropped like a stone. All happened in a moment, just like a dream. I was shaking and knew that I was given more days to live.
Now, this man may not have seen me before, and would not be able to witness any single wrong doing from me, would not have worries or danger of my presence, yet, I was going to be killed by him; die as an innocent blood. This World has lots of evils, people just against the peace for nonsense or no reason at all. Just arrogance, Just enemies of peace....

Article About Manute Bol in the NY Times
June 23, 2010
Most Valuable Helper
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Sports stars often make headlines with spectacular misconduct, and they don’t use their celebrity enough to make the world a better place. But every now and then, along comes a star as gifted ethically as athletically — and I’m thinking now of one of the greatest basketball players ever.
Certainly not one of the best shooters, for he averaged only 2.6 points a game. But Manute Bol, at more than 7 feet 6 inches tall, was a moral giant who was unsurpassed in leveraging his fame on behalf of the neediest people on earth.
Bol died on Saturday from a noxious mix of ailments, exacerbated by his insistence on working in Sudan to build schools and forestall a new civil war. Bol’s great dream was to build 41 new schools across Sudan (he admired the first President Bush, hence the No. 41).
It’s a lofty dream, particularly because he is no longer around to speak at fund-raisers. It’s almost as inconceivable as the dream he had when he was an African cattle-herder aspiring to play in the N.B.A. — and this too can be a slam-dunk, posthumously, if his fans help out.
If each admirer chipped in the cost of a ticket to just one game, if each of his former teams agreed to match donations, if a few current and former N.B.A. stars agreed to stand in for Bol at fund-raisers, why then schools would sprout all across Sudan.
The first of Bol’s 41 schools is now approaching completion in his childhood village, said Tom Prichard, executive director of Sudan Sunrise, the charity that Bol used to build his schools. Forty to go.
Bol grew up herding cattle. Twice he ran away in hopes of attending school, but he never got much formal education. He moved to the United States and played in the N.B.A. from 1985 to 1995, setting a rookie record for blocking shots. He was a curiosity, the tallest player in the league when he started.
As Bol began playing before large crowds in America, his homeland exploded in violence. Northern Sudan waged a savage war against the South, costing roughly two million lives. American officials and news organizations mostly looked the other way, but Bol worked passionately to ease the suffering.
One summer, Bol button-holed more than 45 members of Congress, trying to get them to pay attention to the slaughter. He donated most of his basketball wealth to help the people of southern Sudan, and he flew into war zones to highlight their suffering. Sudan bombed camps that he visited, perhaps in an effort to assassinate him.
Some 250 people in his extended family were killed in the war, Bol estimated, many of them by Sudanese soldiers from Darfur. Yet when the Sudanese Army turned on Darfur in 2003, he was one of the southern Sudanese who led the way in protesting the slaughter in Darfur.
Bol envisioned co-ed, multifaith schools in which Christians in southern Sudan studied alongside Muslims from northern Sudan. Darfuri Muslims have been helping to build the first school, in Bol’s hometown of Turalei, a two-and-a-half day drive from the nearest paved road.
Robert McFarlane, a former national security adviser to former President Ronald Reagan, traveled late last year with Bol to Turalei and gushes about what a “giant heart of gold” Bol had. Mr. McFarlane told me: “The people of Turalei almost worshiped Manute for his commitment to make schools available for their kids.”
Critics sometimes derided Bol’s kooky publicity stunts, like participating in a celebrity boxing match or putting on ice skates to become the world’s “tallest hockey player.” Bol shrugged off the scorn because he seemed to care less about his dignity than he did about raising money for schools.
Bol made his American home in Olathe, Kan., and a local paper, The Kansas City Star, made a larger point a few weeks before he died:
“Bol symbolizes an unfortunate side of our sports obsession and how we measure the worth of those who play,” The Star noted. “The best athletes get the love, most times regardless of what they do away from sport. Bol, doing the work of a saint, is largely ignored.”
A new civil war may be brewing today in Sudan: The South is expected to secede early next year in accordance with an international treaty, and many fear that the North will unleash war rather than lose oil wells in the South. President Obama and his administration have been weak and ineffective toward Sudan in ways that make another horrific war there more likely. We can only hope that President Obama and his aides will be bolstered by Bol’s gumption and moral compass.
Bol will never be able to cut the ribbon at the schools he dreamed of. But we can pick up where he left off. In a world with so much athletic narcissism, let’s celebrate a Most Valuable Humanitarian by building schools through his charity, www.SudanSunrise.org.
Editorial Corrections on "Sincere Apology To Bona Malwal"
Dear Reader,
The apology letter "Sincere Apology to Bona Malwal Madut" that is posted on Gurtong on June14, 2010, is not quite in place.The apology tendency shows that I am solely apologizing for the writing and publishing of the "Moral Case against Bona Malwal" which is not the case here. The article "Moral Case against Bona Malwal, Defemation of Dead" was not written by me. Although I did link the facts including interviewing HE Salva Kiir, and made the facts tested until proven wrong, I did not write the article. What was said in its contents was not my idea nor was I consulted. So, my apology was that I did relate the facts on personal level on many cases that included the mentioned article. Otherwise, it is not for me to decide whether to apologize for the article itself.
I did not accuse Dr. Bona of defaming the dead and I definitely did not challenge his moral standard. I have sent a number of corrections to Gurtong editor, and please have the corrections put in place. You can read the corrected copy on my blog http://www.giirbiar.blogspot.com/
On the other hand, let it be clear that I am deffinitly not sympathizing with Uncle Bona's political stances nor supporting his policies. What the apology is about? I have had drastical changes of what a respectful rights could be practiced in the light of our political levels. I remain a pure SPLM home dedicated person and stationed right here.
Please, stay blessed

Women of Our Time
Sudanese mother endures physical and mental energy, just about an extraordinary stamina that is not found anywhere in this century.
I just want to recognize women's role in our history. Their efforts in maintaining and producing families, promoting peace and even producing security in some cases have always been a part of our struggle. As we are working to either liberate the South or to unite in a nature with the North, let us involve women on a very higher standard that was not even seen in the past. The picture above shows how women participated on two fronts during the SPLA war; 1st in keeping the family reproducing and surviving. Secondly in the fight for the land and freedom. This picture should be recognized as a one of the signs of our national strengths. This time I hope the GoSS doubles thier numbers in the decision making positions.
Should you, your woman or sister be a mother soon, may God bless you deeply. May God bless all our women.

Sincere Apology to Bona Malwal Madut
June 4, 2010
Uncle Bona Malwal and the entire family,
Some years ago, I made a number of public criticisms against Dr. Bona Malwal Madut Ring including linking the facts of attacking him personally under the title, “Moral Case Against Bona Malwal, Defamation of Dead". My approach to issues raised a lot of criticisms against me by our community and I retaliated in kind, thus worsening the situation. I now realise that we were not only a family but also a close friend of his children. Things that had come to my knowledge through trust were not supposed to be used against him. I violated this code. It is not our way; and it is morally wrong. I therefore appeal here publicly at length to Uncle Bona Malwal and the entire family:
First of all, I am sorry it took me this long not only to realize that I have done you wrong, but also to come in public and linked all family issues with the political gains. Secondly, I am not supposed to expect forgiveness because I know there are grudges and even damages. However, I better correct my mistakes than let it heal in a wrong way. I went against you in public and so I am apologizing in public. I am solely moved by my heart pain of the wrong doing and the damages that I may have caused. For those reasons, I am appealing to each and every one that is a member of Malwal Madut's family, including Thiik Agoth that I may have insulted sometimes, to at list consider my heartily adjustments and to believe in my apology.
Although we have our differences of opinion on several political stances, they should be discussed and solved only through reciprocal and respectful channels. Instead, I was cruel enough to use my personal link for political advantages. In addition, I knew how good you "as in the entire family" tried to be; in every possible way you have tried to be. You kept quiet and did nothing towards the raging war. Unfortunately, I was blinded enough to not interpret anything towards self respect, peace and even family. You see, there are things that I am not proud of, lots of things, sometimes I don't want to forgive myself either. But, if it was not of the mercy of our loving God, I would have still be indulging in my darkness of not forgiving myself. But I have, and I hope you will, too.
The truth is; I had lived with Nyanute and Akuie like a brother for years but more importantly, I had admired you since my childhood until the end of 1990s when I was already in 30s. Therefore, I consider myself to really have a collective heavy weight of history that became part of my life and I hope we won’t have to forsake it. Someone of your weight may not care, but as I have realized the differences and the respect of our traditions, I am constantly guilty.
Once again, for give me.
I wish you a prosperous life and have wonderful time with your families.
Sincerely,
Giir Biar

Congrats SPLM
I believe that the leadership in the SPLM, “especially, some of you” have been at work long before now, long before the peace for that matter to win any election held in your presence. You have held strategy wars along the history; you have lost lives in order to save the remains to most effectivly help candidates in the country who are fighting to bring about change.
Congratulations
