This conference is very important for the unity of the South Sudanese political parties,but the agenda is still undetermined,which reveal the incapacity of the GOSS.There should be a strategy for such political reconciliation to unite the the people,and enhance democratic adherence.
I envision a very crucial agenda;that the issue of creating common African language rather than English,and the integration of the various culture of the returnees from the neighbouring countries and Northern Sudan.
The second article of the anticipated agenda is the formation of a three regions of the South Sudan,rather than those ten states.

Good move from SPLM, is time to unit and leave the internal conflicts which are minor and focus to external threats which are our common major threats whether you are SPLM/A or any other Southern Sudan political parties. let think wisely to exit the referendum with one big word “South Sudan Nation”
Thanks, God Bless Southern Sudan now and forever amen

I am always happy seing our leaders speak the statements which bring peace and developments in our country. Just because these leaders don’t read our comments, if so, they would have leave all their internal problems and take us out from Arab hands and forget these leadership issues they will govern when we are free . I am advising you leaders to leave alone the gossipings but work togather. After all we are all Southerners and our enemies will not look into niether political parties nor tribes but killed many of us.
