    SPLM attends U.S Democrats/Republicans conventions
    Waaoo!

    This is GREAT!

    This American political convention will surely bring an impact on the the governance of the SPLM and it’s affiliates.

    This shows how much SPLM wants to change.
    1st they applied to the East African Community for the Observer Status and now to attend the U.S Political meeting.

    I am Optimistic(just a thought) for a Change.If not now…then Later!
