By Philip Thon Aleu
August 12, 2008 (BOR TOWN) – Jonglei government receives 3.2 million US dollars donation in support to maintain peace and law enforcement at Counties level, UN official said on Tuesday.
The donation came a day after the State Governor sought foreign assistance to make peace and development achievable in shortest time possible.
The funds, from the Norwegian and British governments, will be used to purchase equipments by United Nation Development Program (UNDP) as requested by the Counties’ Commissioners in the two days conference that ends today.
Speaking to Sudan Tribune at the end of the conference on Tuesday at Dhiam Dhiam Women Hotel, UNDP Technical Advisor on peace and development Ferdinand Von Habsburg expresses hope on peace and prosperity in Jonglei state.
“I’m very hopeful about security in Jonglei. I’m very optimistic,” he said.
Habsburg commented Jonglei government for assisting in organizing the commissioners’ conference; the first time in the history of Southern Sudan, he added.
Delivering a closing speech today, Governor Kuol Manyang Juuk hails the donor countries and equally argues the Commissioners to increase phase in realizing peaceful and prosperous Jonglei. “Let us work very hard to bring more resources to develop our state,” he said.
Peace, security and unity which are attainable after disarmament, will widen development gate, the Governor concluded.

I think this is the right time for us the citizens of Jonglei to unite under the governorship of Gen Kuol Manyang and enjoy his work of equality and prosperity of the state, not because of the millions dollars donated, but his ability to create stable and peaceful state after long times of killing and adductions of the children and cattle by some element in our state. Before Kuoldit has arrive to Jonglei, it was the killing zone of unknown gangs who took it as the opportunity to discredit the mother state however in his arrival he change the situation in the state radically in matter of some months and Kuoldit keep creating the history after another therefore he should be remembered as one time the war hero and democratic politician that had ascended to the highest point in Jonglei as the son, leader, peace maker and defender of all time.
Long live Jonglei!
Marial mach Aduotdit probably Awuoldit is the true son of Jonglei state.

That is good but can we on the forum also give credit for the communities in Jonglei for supporting Kuol’s campaign to bring peace? Because without the support he received Jonglei would he have been in the same mess as what his predecessor left behind.
Thank you “Alan chidigir”(Boss in Murle) Lt Gen Kuol de Manyang and the peace loving people of Jonglei state.

In doing this the international community are expresing their solidarity with the people of Jonglei. They want that important state to be at peace with itself. Equally, the international community want to encourage peaceful co-existence between the people of this state and other states in the vicinity. In this regard, it is important that the IDPs from this Jonglei residing elswhere should now feel safe to return home and let hosting states (e.g EES) to reogranize their people. Congrats Kuol Manyang and your people!

Mr. Grader:
You are big “agoryai” (thief in Murle)among Bor boys who speak Murle well ah, I wonder who taught you Murle language that far?
No wonder anyway because you appear to be one of those who were pinned down by “Ngincho” (buttered-ground-beef) in Pibor for years during the war.
Above all, $3.2m is very very huge achievement, I hope Jongolei commissioners help Kuol to bring peace and tranquality into the state. I also urge those of Grader and Biar to put their tribalism behind now and emerge under the umbrella of peace and unity for all.
And please let stop misusing this funds by spending it on projects established to harm any other community in the state.
I hope everybody agree.
God bless.
