Do political alliances leaders of south sudan have political analysis vision if they interrelated the CPA implementation with sudan president indictment by ICC. This was even announced to public after the peace signatory by the promise land president Dr. John Garang that this is not my peace nor Bashir peace thus minus Garang and Bashir CPA remain implemented. So if they keep worried about ICC indictment will stop CPA implementation why did Garang death not stop CPA implementation

Thank you for such dialogue wish you all to leave out the parties differences and focus to the main Southern Sudan problems which I fear in 2011 will change the vote into wrong place .Here I would like you to discuse more about tribelism ,and the issue of those people claim that they are the only people who liberate south form Arabs which is not true and not yet out.
Unity must be discuse because it seems no unity among southerners
