Tens of cattle have been dying daily around Jonglei capital making atmosphere dense and breathing difficult in some corners of Bor roads due to decomposing cattle remains.

    Not cattle only including the whole community must be treated and necessary crossing of satets must be stop, restrication must be apply to entire states of jungle. They must remain in their huts. This is a serious matter, i dont’t why alot of diseases are always orginating from those people and their entire community in particular. Last time it was cholera now it is a new disease, what a jumble living conditions in that state.

    Logic, You are political dead meat and your entire community has food-visioned and traitors leaders. I am not up to date Convienced man. What are your war strategies between you and Dinka People Logic? And when will your war start? Because we are sick of it.You are coward, visionless, dependent-minded, poor-informed and the go-between bastard. If you are a real human nature or normal person. How can you abuse the deads such as Dr. Garang, Dr. Justin and Dominic Dim Deng? Let me remind you that a dead person can not defend himself. Garang is dead, however he can no longer defend himself. You should talk to other brave Dinkas, whom you are currently serving as your masters there in Juba and other significant areas in Equatoria. Talk to them, press your worries because they are living.
