    Great humiliation!!!

    How can you trained illiterate people journalism? Is it journalism for looting, ambushing and killing innocent people? Anyway, it’s good you have trained them, but wait for the repercussions.

    There is nothing that enters into their minds apart from food. If you want to be their friend, first provide them with enough foods and you will be their best friend. in fact, they attended that training because there was plenty of foods.

    Thanks a lot, Dr. John Garang for you
    lives in our hearts though there are some idiots who still hate externally but internally they love you, I believe. And thank you for allowing them back into SPLM/A after their movements failed.
