    Remember South Sudan government willont gain stability if civilian within the country have guns, Civilian are suppose to be civilian Therefore I encourage the degree from the president to disarm all the civilian so that our country will remain peacefull country.
    These civilian can cause catastrophe to themselves for instant in Jonglei state in Upper Nile civilian are killing themselves, terrifying the other and intimadating the other development organisation so it very good to disarm them instead of rearming them.

    Advancement pays a lot,Mr.Salva

    Your active participation in the struggle of SPLA/M liberational war had led to the todays peace which is making the SPLA/M feed and sleep in the building they did not expect to see till death-the likes of Riek Machar and so on.
    Let the sleeping Machar with the rotten politic lie but mind you He(Riek) will die at the deep night sleep where his soul would be tried and torture in Hell for his childhood till adulthod attrocities and the Dead would celebrate under the soil in an Earthquake form in which thousands of stupid characters of the kind: Gatwech and all the Gat….family will all perish in the chronic idiotic punishment of their act.
    Thank very much indeed

    The next Messiah
