South Sudan assures safety at peace 5th anniversary
By Philip Thon Aleu
January 18, 2010 (YAMBIO, WES) – Security is tight in and around Yambio town ahead of celebrations for the 5th Anniversary of Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) scheduled for Tuesday, South Sudan minister for internal affairs says.
Later on Monday, Mr. Chuang inaugurated 513 police graduates at Yambio Stadium where the 5th peace anniversary will be held. WES Gov. Jemma Nunu Kumba also attended.
Police graduates display various skills acquired in the six months training in the events that last to pass 8pm local time. And if applied as shown in this stadium, WES arrows boys may be relieved; the government will take over.
Western Equatoria State police intentionally organized the police graduation ceremony for January 18; few hours from the CPA events “to show that peace can be protected.” WES – though has no own made conflicts, is destabilized by Ugandan rebels, the Lord Resistant Army (LRA), hence, the need for government protection. It is not, however, immediately clear whether this group will any help to LRA affected areas.
The colorful police graduation ceremony attracted thousands of citizens. Many people have, however, being here for the last three days watching sports competition that ends today with award of trophies.
Security is visibly tight around the Yambio Stadium with like of SPLA police, SPLA commandos and South Sudan Police Services.

South Sudan assures safety at peace 5th anniversary
hat is Lam Akol who is a candidate for south Sudan presidency is saying on sudanile.com the Arabic website. That the decision of accepting referendum bill is wrong, he continued that separation as the suicide for south Sudan ever. Therefore, if he is saying that what will happen when he is a president for a south, he will cancel the CPA and that what Lam Akol is looking for, because he lost his Fashoda agreement due he is jealous for CPA success.

South Sudan assures safety at peace 5th anniversary
Great job!
We Southerners are very proud for the work done. 513 polices, that is really great so that they can enforce some protection in some states and i would rather give them guns so that they can provide effective protection to civilians if there is unforeseen.
For Dr Lam Akol, Khartoum is joking about him and that is why he said that the seperation of South Sudan would be asucide. I totally disagree with him and i can not support aleader like him because his heart is so weak to govern the South at all.
Thanks
