    Unity state governor urges citizens to register for referendum
    Mr Governor Taban Deng Gai,

    I salute you for your firm posetion regarding the intrest of southern Sudan people you are unlike little Dr Reck Machat the opponent of Paulino Matipe who return to the SPLM for his own safety not the favor of the Southern Sudan which you stand for.

    blind people have an idea that this little Dr is doing what the SPLM leaders had a signe him to make him ssen as a good man. what you have done in Khartoum could not be doe by this litte Dr wife if she was a governor of this important state to us, and that the makeshife office in Khartuom in Sahafa city.

    the only person who will not appreciate that effort is another stupid who imitate the laugh of his litte Dr ha ha ha haaa.

    recently this stupid did not analyzesd clearly what Mohammed Bashir dose when he form what he call “the committee of unity support and separation”.

    this guy is living in U. S. A and still have no clear idea about the position of U. S .A in this case; and mor importanly the position of gen Salve kiir since 1983.

    I think this pork lost boy need to learn more about Salve Kirr, pagan Amoum, Yasser Arman, Taban Deng Gai, James wani and amoun others.

    what Reck machat dose in 1991 on his way to Khartuom no one will do it from this people please do not run your mouth for what Bashir say in Khartoum which no one care about it in Juba do you understand that now

    SPLM/A forward ever backward.
