Pagan Amum warns of Sudan’s collapse
I don’t understanding if it is right for people to involve in high degree corruption that made others to steal millions of dollars for weddings in USA, buy gas stations, and houses and still talk about democracy, I am just wondering.
If I could be the one, I could owe people of South Sudan a big apology rather than singing democracy.
God bless.

Mr Monye Jur:
Better to remember that, coma in English is very important word that may put you away from the meaning of the sentence when you don’t pay attention about it. I found you with a very big problem of understanding because of that mistake. You have already made my sentence more difficult for people to understand the way you put it without comas as you tried to copy it.Don’t treat English like “Thokmonyjang”(Dinka language)
Please go ahead and read the sentence again, or I got to help you by sending numbers and addresses of opticians for you to go and buy very big reading glasses to help you out or run to the near by adult classes beginning tomorrow.
However, the sentence and the meaning beared by that phrase is very clear and very much designed to be the way it is. I know you are ready to defend your corrupt cousins. Defend it or leave it there.
God bless.
