@Mr Sam Dut
That guy called Dinka Dominated SPLA/M is a totally disgrace to all Dinka communities if he is really from the Dinka community and if all what he says expresses the views of all Dinka communities in South Sudan.
Shame on you the so called Dinka Dominated SPLA/M, get reformed like others although you are not currently living in South Sudan. Your attitudes are not truly Southerner, you always instigate hated and tribalism in this forum.
Some of us regret using abusive words towards the Dinka communities just because of your attitudes. If some one can tell me where you come from, it will be good.

@whatsayyou
You got it wrong here, our land is for cultivation and not for grazing of cattle OK!? any attempt to include that statement in the constitution will be met with a fierce resistance by the communities. We know Late Garang wanted to give our land to Dinka Bor community but he got it all wrong.
So, if you are still day dreaming of that please be warned that the end result will be very disastrous for you.
