April 6, 2010 (BOR) — Youths representatives, from all counties of Jonglei state, met on Monday in Gadiang for a joint project proposal. The Gadiang convergence becomes the first time for the citizens from the tribal-diverse State to decide on their future through development initiatives.
Under the theme: “Youth Village Development Project”, the one day meeting, a fraction of Unity Support Funds projects in Jonglei State over sees by Sudan minister of State for Finance Dr. Lual Acuek, resolved feasibility of four items . The underway plans are construction of youth vocational center, agricultural land, computer and sports centers.
Gadiang is seen as a future commercial center for it could be accessed from many counties with ease. Located eastern Duk and Twic East, Southern Akobo, Uror and Nyirol and Western Pibor Counties, Gadiang building is also funded by the Government of National Unity (GoNU) through Unity Support Funds.
During the Monday gathering, Dr. Lual Acuek expressed confidence that peace is achievable when developmental projects are parallel with disarmament exercise in Jonglei State which the youth leaders lauds.
PENDING HISTORY
“Peace is attainable through development and I am happy with it,” David Malual Wuor, Duk County youth leader who attended the meeting told the Sudan Tribune on Tuesday in Bor town.
“It’s a good [development] step and if achieved, it will be historical,” said Dhieu Abraham Machar, the Bor County youth information officer and part of the delegate to Gadiang.
Youth representatives from all but two counties of Jonglei State were present in Gadiang on Monday. A program coordinating team headed by Jonglei SPLM acting youth league leader Anyang Nyuon and the Youth Village Development Manager Juma Arok of Greater Bor Youth Association were selected as interim officers tasked to prepare and represent the four projects for immediate release of funds. A 1000 hectors of land east of Gadiang is allotted and ready for demarcation.
However, some questions remain unanswered following the choice of Gadiang leaving the State capital Bor town for the construction of Jonglei youth multipurpose center. Whether youth will oscillate between Bor and Gadiang — the State Headquarter and State Youth Center respectively, to enjoy services there is pending. Moreover, the youth populations, the main beneficiaries of the projects, live in Bor town and thus, further impeding the significance of preferring Gadiang for Youth Village Development Projects.

Good idea, but I also warn some crocodile youths to focus on the real progress not concealing their wild heart to their fellow member. Jonglei is famous for one reason as everyone knows what I mean. Dinkas boy and some bigots should be isolated from causing destruction to this progress.

Famious_logic_boy,
When a dog steal some food in a container, it just squeezed its head properly to get the smelly food,but when the dog heard the foot steep,its just want to jump up and down running thinking that it will throw away that container;eventually, it will end up being killed because he can not see someone who want to spear it.
I absolutely know that you are like dog who put it head on the container attempting to get food in the container.
Why your mind is so narrow like this about corruption, food, money,and be the number one enemy lover(DC).
Please ,you will be kill while your head get stuck in the container. Thanks
