You have to be careful with those types of political baits. You must know that any politicat mistake you make will cost the public dearly. Our people have died in millions because our great, great grandfathers were deceived by imperialists to agree to live with Jallaba. I can not blame them because they were semi-illiterates and did not know the impact of what they were doing then. Now is the time for truth to come out clean in the year 2011.

Projects to make unity attractive financed by the Islamic Bank? No. We do not need these rubbish moneies. We’ve lived for fifty years without Islamic bank. Let them go with their dirty money.

I am so happy with all these comments and patriotic concern I am seeing in Southern sudanese. In fact some of these funding from Isalmic Bank people are talking about to fund projects in the South are initially our funds. It is another way of telling that they are returning small part of what they have stolen from us.
My reservation on these kind of funding is “what is behinde Islamic Bank fund? And what is a plan of muslim community toward Southern sudanese decision?” I am sure making unity attractive is part of it, Southern Sudan feel being love by muslim, Southern Sudan be count as Islamic state and many more.
My advice to the leaders in such funding is only to get money out in their hands and not materials. Not to allow their people involved in any implementation, because they want to use it as a way of Islamization. Another secret is that if Southern sudanese vote for separation as I know with confident that they are going to vote for separation, the NCP will said they have funded projects in southern Sudan through loan so Southern Sudan must have to pay first.
there are many tricts and let us be watchful when dealing with Arabs and muslims.
