First I would like to say thanks to the governments of southern Sudan under his Excellency president Salva Kiir Mayardit for the fundamental step that it has taken toward Murle to have more two additional counties. You have done a great job to our community and you will be blessing for that. But I would like to highlight one thing and confirm exclusion of likaungole from the recent sisters counties being approved under Pibor county.

To be concise, Likuangole is an historical area among the Murle people and
It is where the freedom fighter Ngachigak Ngachaluk came from. As historical fact, when Murle requested additional Counties, likuangole was one of those proposed payams to be County but after announcement it was excluded from promotion and approval. We don’t know why the Government of southern Sudan left this strategic area of history behind? This move made people of likuangole not happy about the current situation. They thought you were also promoting Likuangole to be county but unfortunately not and we urge you if could reverse that decision to include likuangole through your own considerations. Leaving others unhappy it seems like negligence and most possibly may leads to a kind of hatred among the people.

Secondly people of likuangole feel like forgot by their Government and expecting their voices being heard through the respond of that demand. Because their eyes have already been closed for the dead of let comrade Ngachegak and they have seen like no body representing them on the issue of likaungole.

And long lives GOSS God bless you.
