Lam Akol campaigns in Western Equatoria State
April 4, 2010 (YAMBIO) – SPLM DC presidential hopeful for the Government of Southern Sudan Lam Akol has on Saturday campaigned in Western Equatoria State.
Dr Lam was in the company of Charles Kisanga, the Secretary General of SPLM DC, who is also a son of WES.
Thousands of WES citizens gathered at the County HQs premises to listen to Lam Akol, with many waving SPLM DC flag in show of support to Dr Lam and his campaigning team.
Akol requested eligible voters to vote him for real change and political maturity in Southern Sudan, “I will change how business is done at GOSS level and up to the Boma level of Government, by curbing all kinds of corruption, tribalism and insecurities”, he said.
He accused SPLM in WES for using humanitarian projects as a success to steal the masses’ votes, “fellow citizens, no one should cheat or deceive you for having constructed the roads in Western Equatoria, the road works are part of International Community efforts special the American people to rebuild South Sudan after the 22-yr civil war which crippled infrastructure in the region and the same applies to the CPA related projects or stadium, these are national projects,” he said.
“I want all of you to vote for SPLM DC if you want to see the back of LRA rebels,” Akol appealed.
The sole contenders competing for South Sudan President with SPLM candidate Salva Kiir accused SPLM of portraying single party system in South Sudan. “If SPLM know that it is only the only party in South Sudan, why did its members participate in the organization of free and fair elections? He asked.
Dr Lam urged the people of WES to vote wisely as the very people who ruled South Sudan for the last five years are the same people asking them for votes during elections. Where were they when LRA rebels destroyed you and looted your foods, why do know you as people during elections era only? Lam asked.
The former Foreign Minister advised the people WES to be strong an vigilant as their state is attractive to all Southerners, “if you go to Europe and America today, ask one anyone there about the South Sudan States, people will always tell you that, WES is best among the ten states.”
He dismissed the perception that, “only SPLM government in WES can bring development and money to state,” he said that, party issues are different from government issues, urging voters to vote WES’s Independents as they stand to bring changes to South Sudan bad system of governance.
In a press conference held today in Khartoum Akol said his party decided to suspend its electoral campaign in the Greater Bahr el Ghazal province after he was prevented for the second time today from holding an electoral rally in Wau.
He also said he had planned to visit Warrap State tomorrow but he had to cancel his trip to Kuajok because security service there threatened to shot the head of the party if he leaves his house to prepare the electoral meeting, Lam Akol said.

Everyone should be aware that political difference are common and people should be allow to exercise their opinions free from any threat. The outcomes of elections are the only tool to judge who is who. We as people of Greater Equatoria, we never interface with each other because of their political choice, whether DC, NCP, SPLA, PP and whatever can exercise their politics free as long as they are not encouraging any violence to happen.

Dear Lam Akol,
As a Southerner who is going to vote in upcoming election, I would like to know how are you going to protect CPA, and the right of self-determination for the people of South Sudan?
Not long a go you had been deceived by NCP/NIF when you sign Khartoum peace agreement with NCP/NIF regime in early nineties, and you had to rejoin SPLM at the time.
Now you are calling upon us to vote for you, but you don’t show your strategies in how your party will defend CPA if Arabs decided not to honor their promises. Why is NCP/NIF media always interested in your party campaign and not the rest of Southerners political parties?
I think we the people of South Sudan will (should) vote for SPLM, because they sign the CPA and SPLA are capable of protecting it, if NCP/NIF want to dishonor the agreement and the right of the people of South Sudan.
Thanks,
Otong Otong

Dr. Lam is a traitor and is a dead body waiting for coffin. What kind of legibility he talk about since he betray SPLM or Southern Sudanese in 1991 for reckless and pregenocide. Whoever walks with Dr. Lam, you are diging your own grave.

Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin is well known as “Judas Iscariot” of Southern Sudan for the treacherous role he had played during the time of war in the South. Having playing his treacherous role against us and against our just cause, we have no right to kill him.
I am hereby condemning the threats of Warrap State Security Organ to kill Lam Akol. Every political party has freedom to carry out its political activities in the South without intimidation, harassment and threats of killing.
President Salva Kiir, in accordance with the CPA and the Interim Constitution of Southern Sudan, has advised the citizens of Southern Sudan in many reports published on this website to give chance to other political forces in the South to carry out their political activities.
If what is mentioned in the report above is true, then Warrap State Security Organ is taking law into its hands. Though Dr. Lam Akol is an agent of the NCP, he should be allowed to carry out his electoral campaigns without harassment and threats of killing.
We all know that he will not win the Presidency of Southern Sudan whatsoever.
We shouldn’t be the ones to kill the traitors. The holy land of Southern Sudan will kill them. As we all know, the holy land of Southern Sudan has so far killed all the traitors who were once fighting for it just cause and later on betrayed it.
Kerubino Kuanyin Bol, Arok Thon Arok and many others have died because they had betrayed this land. Lam Akol will soon follow them. He will follow them in a tragic death. No one should kill him, he will die alone.
