There is no need for the enemy of the South/new Sudan to attend such an important event. the position given to him is enough to maintain him until 2011, than his fade be decided by the people whom you fool turned against them during the war. really Southerners and heroes will positively support James Holt but the enemy who is alway after any position will not be happy. those people who are always unstable, running between Khartoum, Bashir, Konyi and the head of the fools who never contributed in our struggle, is eating and sleeping in Juba but his days are numbered, as Gen. Holt take over. you will pay the price of your negative contribution to South. by Ngwerajak
