    This is the best appointment ever made by Salva Kiir. Cdr.James Hoth Mai has a good military background, nationalist, and well oriented politically. During those difficult days in July 1992, Cdr. James Hoth luanched an offensive to Juba, and he was able to force control on Juba airport, Kobri Juba (Juba bridge), enemy army headquarter in Juba where hundreds of enemy soldiers were slaughter. Hoth has never screwed up even when his kin men along with Dr. Riek Machar screwed up from 1991 – 2001, Hoth remained committed to the cause of freedom. In December 1997, I met him in a foreign country which he was visiting along with Dr. garang and I asked him this questiona; What SPLA/M wants to achieve by allaying with NDA, how much worthy is the alliance, and how much trust do you have in the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) forces in Eastern Sudan?.. His answer was overwhemingly convincing. Congratulation !!

    Congratulations to the SPLA to get a new appointed chief of general staff. however my friends reactions to Kiir’s decision of replacing Oyai tells me that even the younger generation in south Sudan have a divisive ideas which is very much disappointing.
    We are all southern Sudanese people who wish to serve the same interest and i don’t see the problems in replacing Oyai i know he will serve in the new position faithfully as he did since the starting of the movement but my brothers took it as par their understanding depending on the background that they came from which is not the right way of approaching national issues. myophic outlook of issues is dangerous than the common enemy (Arab)we have in Sudan this is what keep us back for 53 years without achieving our objectives. please fellow countrymen act like educated gentlement put aside your differencies and you will deserve to be called an Hero like those of Oyei and Hoth.
    some people took advices from their tribes as worthy forgeting other communities importance please eliminate that. it is like this say, ‘he who eat his mother’s foot thinks his mother is the best cook’ which is not true try to share your ideas with others faithfully and you will see the importance of it.
    I therefore wish the SPLA/M top officers the best in their new positions. God bless them.

    Hey guys,
    It is absolutely acceptable for all everybody to understand that in evry g’vt there should be reshufling for the smoth running of good governance amd that is simple because president need to test the capability of individual leadership not crictism.
    I think Gen. Hoth is another strong finger during the movement and he had to deserve credit in this movement not because the president is against Nuer.
