This is very surprising. How can an illiterated community vote 100% for secession. Any way this report is not explicit. The report should have told us the voter turn-up for to enable people guage the assertation of mr Gadwich.
Thanks

Bol Deng,
You are not from unity state, but from crazy greedy kid sellers of Bor.
Your hatred against Nuers whom you provoke in1991 and kick your greedy lazy coward ass really hard will not take you anywhere.
Bark like dogs, but your days are numbered now and we are coming soon after we done with Jalaba and kick your lazy coward butts.

Coward Jaang/Slaves,
How many coward Jaang were taken as captives by Mighty Nuer Warriors since 1800s?
Persons of the coward Jaang/Slaves decent form probably at least half the population of most [Nuer] sub-tribes. These Jaang/Slaves are either children of captives or immigrants who have been brought up as Nuer, or are themselves captives and immigrants who are residing permanently among Nuer. They are “Jaang-Nath,” “Dinka-Nuer,” and, it is said, “caa Naath,” “they have become Nuer.”
How many young women and children let alone cattle were taken by Mighty Nuer Warriors after they smashed down Duk Padiet, Kongor, Twic East, Mading Bor and and all the surrounding villages in 1991?
The discipline of Nuer forces is also demonstrated by a remarkable capacity of continues to press and assault while sustaining very heavy casualties. When, the Eastern Jikany Nuer Warriors (Nasir, Ulang, Longechuk, Maiwut & Gambella) were attacked early in 1912 by a heavy armed Ethiopian force of Gala/Oromo and Amhara, intent of taking slaves, the Nuer Warriors lost over 100 men in the course of overrunning the invaders’ machine gun emplacement.
The invaders’ mission was not only failed, but also lost over 300 soldiers and 50 missing. The Eastern Jikany Nuer Warriors made a number of concerted attacks on fortified goverment posts. In one instance in which a Nuer raiding party was intercepted by a government patrol, the Nuer Warriors lost 85 men in the initial engagement but nevertheless counterattacked the same night and again the following day before withrawing to home territory.
Had the Mighty Nuer Warriors wished to occupy the whole greater Upper Nile, from Renk to Mading Bor and from Ruweng/Abiemnon to Buma-Gambella, it seems unlikely the other coward Jurs (Jaang, Bar, Chai, Koma…) could have stopped them.
