The Abeyians people are so happy before the Southern Independence and I will be glad to see all Southerners Sudanese love themselves and laught at each rather than mass killing like what happen in Akobo. We need to share one thing in order for us to show the rest of the world our suffering for many decades will come to end.
To my dearness of Abyeian people, we are very please to welcome you all to Southern Sudan of cours in Bhar el Ghazal and the Regions of bravers people in the Sudan. Freedom is not yet and freedom does not come easy we have not even starting yet our freedom, but what I need, what you need and we all need is that, we need one heart and need one hand join together and peaceful among Southern Sudanese, I know the Abeyian people are very honest and I know the Abeyian people are very respectful and you will be respected as well as we all needed to be treating of equity justice. One thing that, Southern Sudanese of Abeyian and many others Southern Sudanese waiting in Khartoum. Why people still waiting for what in Khartoum? Supposedly that, since the peace agreement was signed then, there is no need to stay in Khartoum and later complaining the mistreatment use by the Khartoum government.Therefore, I would like you to tell your people from Abeyi to come out, your home is your even though you think there is nothing in there, I belief God is the one who knows what you need at most let gain Southern Sudan Independence first. Please Abeyian people come back and our developemt is in our hand as a matter of fact that, Southern Sudanese got mood about the Sudan Military dictatorship led by MR, Jaafar Mohamed al Nimiery on May16, 1983. I belief things are changing and you do not have to lock yourself up in Khartoum with too much pressure as a way of living in the Sudan’s government.
Freedom need all of us to talk about different Ideas, and the development need all of us to started at your home and the struggle for broder we all knows that, it will need every one energy to show the dominators people that, these generations of ours will not accepted or to be fool with drty money of Khartoum. I never seen the Khartoum since I was born and grew up in the Southern Sudan, but I am actual better than those living at Khartoum now. Finally, it would be good Ideas for the Southern Sudanese people to leave Khartoum and come back to your home Land, a Land that has everythings in and on it. Southern Sudan will be a rich nation if the people leave corruption in the government so there is nothing in Khatroum Land and it is going to dry up for few years if the Southern Sudan make it happen Independence in the short coming time. Be honest to tell people to come back home and for got about Arab drty money.
Aduol Liet.

Hey Mr Aduol Liet,
It is good that the people of Abyei should deserve and expressed their happiness since Abyei is from South. But one thing that I want to tell you is that, don’t be fooled by the pictures or photos of Abyei people whom you see being posted. Those pictures which you see are they pictures of 1905 when Deng Kuol Arop Biong annexed Abyei to the North. Seeing of the pictures as a great deal to you is better than seeing what the Arabs of the Northern Sudan are planning for the seek to deteriorate the annexation of Abyei to the South. The problem of Abyei is not finished yet since ancestors of Deng Kuol Arop Biong are still being used by the Northern Sudan Government as a tool to dysfunctions Abyei Ruling which was done on July 22,2009.
Once again, don’t be happy because of the pictures.
