    Gier Chuang, should not been given responsibility of road and bridges.Road and bridges is hardcore of country development,it suppose to be given expertist and free of corruption.
    Kiir is just appointed people for name recognition, not for hardworker, he is a pinehead son of B.

    This is a fairly well balanced cabinet that reflect diversity and political plurality that exist in South. However, this has been done at the expense of lean and efficient cabinet. Southerners will end devoting resources to overlapping cabinet. I think just about 20 ministries and agencies could do for South. But to accommodate various political parties and ethnic diversity, Kiir had no choice but to create a bigger pie so that everyone gets a piece. Now, let’s hope that they perform well and deliver services to South.

    Too good for those who may like it but bad for those who may dislike it.Unity State may not like it because none heads the ministry.Has mr.president forgotten that Unity State was the leading in his presidntial voting?
    If there is a will, then let him revise his decrees based on Unity States exclusion.Thank you all.

    Door,
    I would like to say that your talks are not helpful because each and every minister among these ministers represents his/her own constituency, however it would not be meaningful to full all Nuer,or Equatorians in the position of other Dinka constituencies. The writing I always get here are just out of jealousy otherwise, you can even put in your mind that Dinka are the Majority and followed by Nuer, since Dinka have more than 5 states, Aweil, Warrap, Lake, Jonglei, Western Bhar Elgahzal state and even Part of Upper Nile and so, we can not kill them because they are the majority. Please I beg to abandon jealousy and go for development instead.

    Remember, Dinka, Nuer or any other tribe can rule South Sudan later but still Dinka will remain with their constituency. Because they are the one to present them.

    Thanks for understanding.

    Dear Commentators,

    The formation of the long awaited cabinets is inclusive as you have all seen each and every region have their representatives in the new independent country of South Sudan.

    I would like to gives my special thank to Mr. Salva Kiir Mayardit the President for taking time and have forms the first cabinet reflecting all the region of South Sudan.
    Yes, there are some people whose their analysis are not good by saying that the formation of the cabinets is not good according to their own perspectives and the country does not employed all the thousands of men and women who evacuated their homes for Juba looking for the job of being a minister or deputy minister, these ideologies are not helping us we southerners if we do not catch up with the world and technical know how and not technical know who.

    I will not advice you the commentators whose their ideas is to reflect tribalism conflict of interests but remember one more things that you will never be a good citizen of South Sudan if you donot leave all your nonsenses insulting the President and Dinka Tribe as a whole. For instance, assume that you have you fiend, colleague who is a Dinka and your insultation generalize all the Dinka wherever they are. Do you realize that you include your friend or not. Write responsibly and be self confident to promote peace and love amongst the Southerners tribes in South Sudan.

    I mammothly welcome the appointment of three Ministers and one Deputy down to my heart without doubts.
    1. Minister for General Education & Instruction- Ustaz Joseph Ukell Abango
    2. Minister for Higher Education, Science & Technology- Dr. Peter Aduok Nyaba
    3. Minister for Information and Broadcasting- Dr. Barnaba Marial Benjamin
    4. Deputy for Minister of Higher Education,Science & Technology- Ustaz Gabriel Kuc Abyie

    Long Live the Republic of South Sudan!
    Long Live the President Salva Kiir Mayardit!
    Long Live the newest Cabinets of South Sudan!
    Long Live the Anti South Sudan Government!

    Madingthith a man of Justices, Accountability and Transparency.
    Next Governor in 2020.

    the Nuer should blame themselves! how could they truth Kirr and his Dinka govt for anything? The Dinka doesn’t use thier brain but emotion, feeling.

    General Gatdet and the rest of the Nuer who thought Kirr was in process of change should be ashame now abt this cabinet that consider only the Nuer in Jonglie for ministerial poses just because they will not attack Bor Dinka.

    I can’t believe people like John Gai Yoa, GOSS representivie in South Africa, can be left out in this cabinet formation after doing all his best for the interest of this nation. It left only one question in the mind of somebody like myself that is whethear it is soley being Dinka that it takes to be a part of Salva Kirr is Govt?

    Why are all ministers from Upper Nile have to taken by Shilluk in every govt Kirr? why all positions given to Nuer should be given to Jonglie Nuer? should you know during the war Jikany (Gatjaak and Gatjiok, esp. Gatjaak) were the one who nursed this movement? Kirr, your greedy action should not be forgiven. General Gatdet Yaka has make mistake by abundaning the movement.

    The Nuerland is the one that feed this nation with thier oil but we act like we own everything just because of the lack of analysis you(Salva Kirr) have.

    How long God will keep funishing us with this kind of naive greedy people, like Salva Kirr? I wish you were not born to a South sudanese family Kirr beccoz you pushing this country into war with itself from day one. you will never get anything from isolating Nuer from your govt.

    Yes Dr. Riek Machar, you can resign from this govt. your silence bring shame to the Nuer. How could you let that primitve man humane the Nuer at your watch? If I were Nuer, I should call for your resignation becoz you become a shame.

    Mr. President, This is what we expect to happen. To my dear readers, i would like to say that this is not a formation of the Cabinet rather than modification of the existing cabinet. Just to have a few new faces in the cabinet is not a formation of the Cabinet. Our President does not want really development in the New Republic to take place because of Presence of Awut Deng and Gier Chuang Aluong.

    Unless, our President is having a special interest on the two worst Minsiters. What will Gier Chuang deliver to the Citizens after failing to put a well organised forces into proper shape. Gier does not know anything in engeering. If Gier has paralysed the organised what good thing is expecting from him to deliver?

    Awut Deng, what is that thing that keep her there to retain the post?

    This Government is a slight inclusive Government by nature but with enough reserve to Warrap. Anyway, our President is to be congratulated at last though it is in our nature that if you are sick and someone ask you ” How are you?” You response that ” Am fine or OK” and yet you are going to die in afew a hours. Our Government is fine and Kiir has done a great job. Let us see the move. We blame him for delay but all the same this is what we knew and expected to be the result of the Cabinet.

    What next? This is something we should be looking after.

    I bet you junubin, Gier is now on ehow.com or wikipedia searching for roads n bridges are built!!! Or he is going to hire this foreign companies to build roads for him. If gier is a smart man, i would recomend him to use all of our unemployed youth or splm soldiers who are currently wondering in juba doing nothing, to help build roads. That way the money our youth will be kept busy, and “capital flght is prevented”.

    You are really ,having no capacity of how you share the food with your brothers on this world of today,otherwise Kiir is very very right. If, he was not fair then, he would have brought the Minister of Defence to Warrap State and even the Minister of Finance as well but they are now, all from different states of South Sudan,the test of politics is not how eloquently say “yes” it is how your explain why you don’t say “not”.
    You they crocks people, you have no right to use this official website.

    Very stupid comment. I thought every body was going to congraulates Kiir for ggod job well done. I don’t the reasons of saying a lot of Dinkas. How many are they? I was waiting to hear people from Equatoria ululating because this time are given a lot of posts and important posts as well.

    Nuer who always terrorize the south are given the post of Defence minister and still complaining. So what do Nuers want? Post of Vice-Prseident and Defence, the most important posts and still complaining, what do you really wants?

    I am happy that all regions are represented in this government. Congratulations to President, all people of Equatoria, Bahr El ghazal & Upper Nile. Congratulations to Kiir for appointing Costi Manibe as Finance Minister. Let see what Equatorians will say about looting of money whether they will count it on Dinkas or themselves.

    Mr. Door is a Dinka if you don’t know him in this website. According to my understanding, he tries to laughing at Nuer because they are few among those ministers as 4 compare to Dinka whose determined 10 out of other communities. But I can see your concern as it is reflecting what Door has tried to explains because he full with happiness that why he make it short by laughing at Nuer, I hope you understand.

    Bravo Kiir eventhough some are in wrong postions.Reason may be balancing of the government because rest of tribe in South got no highly educated people.Madut Biar and Gier chuang are in Wrong psotions.no matter, Pawieny(ataar)Dinka- clan in jonglei got no people that had good qualifications and they must have people to represent those communities.I know Gier Chuang will spend money for inviting experts in Engineering from oversea to come and plan for him.Which Unversity and what kind of degree Gier Chuang achieved in Engineering and when?????.I agreed with Kirr appointment that shown equality because all tribes and regions of ROSS are represented.We like that.
    Atem Yak Atem who wrote message in 1980s when I was Jesh Ameer(red Army)in Ethiopia saying man far away from the war and is now enjoying outcome of the war.ATem ,Are you still far away from the war or you came closer??????????????????????????????????.
    Kiir , God bless you regardless of appointing more people from Bharelghazal region.

    Even if you die, You did your great part President Kiir.Iam realy glad of appointed cowards educators of Equatoria who escaped to Uganda and abroad during war time.ANd also Nyagats of Nuer tribe who return to Khartoum during difficult time of OGS.Khartoum used Nuer to come and fight SPLA and kill local population aimlessly.

It doesn’t matter who comes in and replacing who just, but on who is capable of doing a job not just by appeasing you by either calling you His Excellency or Beny or whatever name they may call you. The time has come for me to regret my vote in the ballot box for having voted for a head capped president whose ears are blocked by the cap not to hear voices of the citizens who always complain about services delivery. To the diehearts of the president, am not a nuer, shilluk, Bari or any other tribe you do suspect, am a Dinka, typical Dinka moreover from Rumbek but I have finally withdrawn my vote in ballot box.

    Bravo President Kiir for forming the first inclusive `government in our new Republic. What matters is security and services delivery to our suffering communities.
    To my fellow commentators, let me tell you that there is no minister for a tribe. All these ministers will serve the will of our people based on their experiences and qualifications on their tribal backgrounds. I thought people should reason first before posting your rubbish in the media. Say something that will benefit our people and you be appreciated for that.
    Anyway if you are not contented with this cabinet, throw yourselves in Nile and south sudan will still continue.

    This cabinet of South Sudan ministers has been logically and wisely constituted. It should now be a time to build the nation. All the people of South Sudan should now join hands to build this great nation. Though it will start from scratches, South Sudan is not different from all the other nations of this planet. All nations of the world took off their developments the same way South Sudan is going to start. Embark to develop human resources, then primary industry and most important please harness electric power from fulla rapids.

    dear all,

    i think we have to understand our positions before we can blindly say what our mouths want to deliver.The formation of the cabinets is the tusk of the president and people envolved,it’s not done by consultation.besides,the apoitment made is fare to me though self interest men may hijack it.although there are drs,professors and equivalent,who are left out in this process,it doesn’t mean they were descriminted or segregated on tribal ground but they will also be called to exercise their abilities when their time comes unless offcoures it has become a routine to-day in the african politcs-south sudan inclusive that each and every single person wants to become a leader upon which lives are based on tribalism,corruption and embazzelment of public funds as did other notified civil servants.That to-day you may find professors or drs whom most people fears but they are titles in the chickens brains.people will always be there to complaine about even a work well done.these are men who do not believe on the principles of riteousness and truth and do not have truth in them,and do not also belive in truth.it’s the time we must stop political assumption and get onto means of anchores of life in which the persuit of happiness are encrowned unto the failure or success,not forgeting political complaines that which do not bragg at your interests but that which is based on the right of every one.we are happy when kiir doesn’t become a deciple of Gadhafi,museveni,even the toppled egyptian president and may be others but,if he shows good will,transparent and democratic leadership then what’s wrong if he messes up?provide he lives upto his oath,respect the rule of law and his citizens are content in all aspects of what they toiled for with those befalling the nation exlusive.

    RSS President did well with his government, but one thing that he didn’t do well is an equal representation in Warrap state. No Minister since 2005 ever ever come from Twic county & Gogrial East county. All the national ministers come from Kiir home town/county (Gogrial West) and Tonj.

    In his current ministers
    1.Nhial Deng–Tonj
    2.Awut Deng–Tonj (suspected to be Kiir’s close associates)
    3.Lual Achuil–Gogrial West

    NB: No minister ever ever, come from Gogrial East because Gogiral East had tribal conflict with Gogrial West & that’s why Kiir Mayar Kuethpiny doesn’t appoint anyone from Gogrial East County. “Nhialic aguur abiik somewhere.”

    Thanks you so much guys, your respective commons are welcome. But you avoid direct contacts please, that will give us chaos among us again. I think we are tired and exhausted of aggressive words for these two decades especially from our brothers Arabs and among us too. Pleases reduce your speedy arguments on people. We all know those archaic since the beginning of this war. We all faced difficulties whether you are fighter, intellectual or vulnerable, everyone have participated in the war, I give my special thank to fighters whether you are lives or lime off, also women have suffered so far guys. Let us forgive ourselves because we have achieved our goals for more than 180 years. We needs to show our strengthen and hegemony to our brothers who departed from us on JULY TEH 9, 2011. Whatsoever, our PRESIDENT KIIR have appointed cowards or uneducated persons to the top positions, is too late for you, your calls haven’t be answered, my advice to you is to finish your studies if you are in school or doing own business you’re also welcome to perch ahead; that will delight our newly country income. I think KIIR will give you whatever you want or says he answered you. He said several times in his speeches that the chance is for those who have earned papers, even if you ran aways from war or doesn’t. Everyone is equal chances. If you read CUBAN’s history during their struggles with AMERICA, you found more important informations on its. What arrangement government does to his people. Or just read the histories in the war torn countries around the world. When you come back to the decrees made by PRESIDENT, when I read it, I get convince, it seem is a good ideas, every regions or tribes have got what they wants. What we want to tells those who have settled in their thrones is only SPLA OYEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! AND CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!. But what we don’t want is corruption, otherwise we turn as snake and mauled animal, OK

    Regretfully the attitudes of some writers on this website are so derogatory regards to the comments that most of you post, too much abusive language is simultaneously used, based on so called “TRIBES” irrespectively. if this website have a media code of conducts, they would have had enough of bad language by now and shot-down the pointless comments site.

    Because it is not addressing any good points that could help the most desperate poor rural citizens of South Sudan Nation at all. Now this site has become a junk website where unnecessary words and most brutal language is commonly used.

    If those of you guys are potentially the striving intellectuals for the future of South Sudan Nation, please be knowledgeable, we should be thinking individually in how to change this ridiculous situation that our poor citizens who have never got a chance to go to school are facing.

    I’m APPEALING to the management of this website to put restrictions on comments, and block pointless comments. People should be arguing wisely in exceptional manner. Do the best that u could to help our Nation logically, now or in future to change some wrong doing.

    Thanks

    The way you express yourself in a tribalistic and greedy manner show that you are a nuer product.

    What kind of balancing do you need since vp traitor riek is from unity state and he is Nuer, Changson Chang is nuer from Upper nile, John Luk (nuer), Marial Benjamin (Nuer) John Koang Defense minister(Nuer) so what do you Nuer want again. Or you need the position of salva kiir which is goin’ to be very impossible even if you turn Nasir into Bengazi of Libya. This time no Joke with fire you do me i do you.

    You suggest that Riek should resign which is a good idea, let him go and has to be replaced by Taban Deng Gai then we see where what you are hoping will end.

    To those who are praising the current appointments, I don’t at some point simply because he has brought back the same corrupt officials to his cabinet. Mr. President, you think some those officials are they ones keeping you in power? Everything has an end and your regime will some day ends. There are those ministers who satisfies you when talking but do not implement ministry’s plans. Interests groups who are advising Mr. President, you are killing South Sudan.

    I am very much happy on those of Equatorial regions who have seen this opportunity. But I am still suspicion on those of Gier Chuang Aluong and Salva Mathok Gengdit with their thoks in the government?
    Would you please give them a break to let go their Asses and used the money that they were steal from us! I know there are so many qualified Southerners who can do this job rather then those corrupted animals. First Gier Chuang need to be issue warrant arrest, because he was the founder of what so call Agooro where he sold Military weapons for his own used. Gier was the problematic of George Athor Deng that result in civilian’s death.
    Salva Mathok whom we know as a Dead Ugandan box of Money, the man who steal our nation money in the full box and said it is a dead body of Ugandan man.
    Mr. President! If you don’t have times to read our reactions then you need to hire somebody who can do a research about public opinions and he will give you feedback right away. I am almost tired and sick of you, switching selfsame animals in your cabinet will do no good at all!

    I though President Kiir will evolved from being a tribal icon of Bhar el Gazel region to represent the national image of new born nation. Mr President, we always believed in you as a humble leader who can unite the people of South Sudan but you have betrayed our trust in you or else the vampires who advise you have misled you to make uninformed decisions on national matters.
    Mr. president, you will live longer enought to remember and confess by yourself the wrong political calculation you are making now. You promised the people of South Sudan that you will deliver to them a lean government whereby everyone will be appointed base on merits and not on tribal alignment. Mr President, you negated your own words by appointing inexperience personnel and left out highly qualified with renow experience in reputable international organizations simple because they are not from Warrap.
    your recent appointment of the Central Bank Governor was a great mistake for such a person to hold the position he does not understand it roles. Koryom can not advise the government on econonics matters because he does not even understand the functions of central. you simply appointed him to be your leeway for coruption and depended by your cousin chief Justice.
    Kosti will be there as Equatorian with no Powers to act independently, therefore your circle of corruption is sealed. Those of Benjamin Bol and your close ally in corruption will continue robbing the public funds in a broad day light.
    Remember four years is only four day.

    @Superior Junubi,
    You don’t have to be a mechanic to drive a car. Gier can do it.
    It is all about administration and leadership. Garang did not even have a phd in politics and he did better than those who studied law and political science. It is who you are that matters at the end of the day

    Gier has a masters degree in public administration. He doesn’t have to have an engineering degree to do the work. It will be all about finding and supervising the contracted companies so that they do proper work in the correct time frame without taking the money do nothing.

    What if we don’t have civil engineers, are going to wait until one is born? What if they are there, but they are not capable to do the work as required?

    Constructing roads in south Sudan will require lots of money. I hope all major roads that connect the 10 states will be constructed.

    Former minister of road, Makana didn’t have a degree in civil engineering or road management.

Gier is just a minister who will run the policy of the ministry but there is technical person this person is the under secretary which is now called deputy minister in each ministry brother sorry for not knowing how the government is formed
    Mr. Gier Chuang Aluong is a competent man who has nobody to compete with him in that field so if you are against him please form your own government and exclude Gier .

Kiir has only recycled the ministers and i for one is completely unhappy with the ridiculous endorsement of the those ministers by National Assembly.

    I think we should not be complaining anymore because its distract attention of the president from doing his Job in the office which is the delivery the services to the people, but seriously its also bring more pressure to the SPLM party, because the party base has to see their party is working to their expectations or else they can leave the party and migrate to others or form new parties, this is obvious in the politics,president wants to take away this pressure by forming this government as inclusive as possible so this blame should be going to somebody else. Now everyone should be blame according to their performances in jobs.

    Initially i would like to extend my congratulations to our president and his vice for the great job that they have done.we have been waiting for so long for this new government formation, thanks to God that it’s already out,although certain individuals are not please with the new formation but still i regard it to be better than the rest of the previous government formation. let you understand mr president that, it’s impossible to please the entire population of southern sudan but what will make them to make a U turn in their position is when you enforce law and order plus the eradication of corruption from the government institutions and above all create more jobs for graduates and many youth who are roaming about jobless in the states’ capitals.
    My message to the new minister of interior, Gen. Alison manani Magaya, you had served once a governor of Equatoria, plus other positions after it and you are a military personnel by profession, we require from you more thank you assumed,
    – i would like you to set up a responsible and respectable policemen during your current term.
    – i would like you to bring to an end the unnecessary killing in jonglei,lakes and other places.
    – i would like you to enforce law and order in all our ten states.
    – i would like you to set a retraining program for our policemen, to up lift them to national or international standards.
    – And build a very strong police academy
    – E.T.C
    The second person is the minister of finance and economic planning,Mr Kosta Manibe, your ministry is carrying a lot of blames in regards to corruption in the previous governments but we like you to bring this to an end and try to build this ministry from the ground in consultation with economist such as simon manaja and Emmanuel pitya of juba university and others, who can really set a good foundation for the ministry without any window for the individuals who always get access to corrupt it.
    Finally i wish the new government good luck and may God bless and help them to deliver for us better service this time than ever.

    I agree with your decrees as a president of the new born nation the Republic of South Sudan but the appointing of Awut Deng Acuil discouraged me although she came from State Warrap State.

    this woman mr president will leads you down at a time to come. why and how?
    1st, her attitudes to the community back home (warrap) is very bad worst than the ministry she is working.
    2nd, she was accused of plotting to kill comrade Aleu Ayiny in which the body guard to Aleu was deceased
    more other on these might have reached your office about the woman I believed and still you appoint her.

    Hopefully, thes appointments will help pave the way, and mark the beginning of the end to one of our biggest, and most pressing problem facing our new born nation.

    i believe the president is doing his job well, however he is failing somewhere somehow, i really don’t know why he had to replace GIER CHUANG after all that he has done,it really hurt to see that a man like GIER CHUANG is being exploited a lot, imagine he put in place the telecommunications services out of his effort while he was still serving as the minister of telecommunication and postal services, he was was appointed minister of interior in 2009, where he worked so hard to improve the security of the south sudan, he has recruited and trained several security officers who eventually help to improve the security of the south.he himself used to patrol the city to ensure that there is safety in the country.
    eventually he is transferred to the ministry of roads and bridges, of which i am sure he will do his best. i know that he will give 100% effort to see that roads and bridges are constructed nicely for the development of our country. all the best GIER CHUANG ALUONG…AND KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST” THEY WILL THANK YOU LATER.

    Great job Mr. president Kiir Mayardit. I believe your selections is sound good to these honest tribes of Dinka such as Dinka Duk (Hol & Nyarweng, etc), Dinka Padang, Dinka Twic East, Dinka Abiliang, Dinka Twic West, Dinka Aliab, and many more of Dinka branches who are not always involves in mistrust discussions and/or in baseless complainings under unprovable reasons.

    President Kiir have right to appointed whoever he wants in his administrations, because it is his times. Either he appointed uneducated or educated persons, it is none of your business folkds in whatsoever to all of you here, why? because loyalty and trustworthy is very important in any leadership who would try to achieves things together without any residues of messups with untrusted individuals between or among one another.

    My eye catching picks:

    (a) Son of my Hero Commander William Nyuon Bany and Atem Yak Atem “The man far away from war” I give lots of credits to Salva Kiir Mayardit for the appointments of these two guys.

    South Sudan Oyeee!!! God bless South Sudan.

    If those are the requirements to Nuer happiness, then such happiness will forever elude you. There will be no Nuer empire. Relieve your mind of such facile nonsense.

    You have NEVER been in the heat of battle, have you? Your empty mind is preoccupied with fantasies of Nuer hegemony, one in which other tribes are massacred, and the remnants of such tribes subjugated and dispossessed.

    Quit day dreaming, you fool!

    You don’t have a patriotic bone in your body; you are a deluded and bitter tribal nationalist with a quench for blood and mayhem. Our Nation has been subjected to decades of war, famine and misery and here you are… advocating for a repeat of such miseries upon our heavily scarred people.

    We need to reconcile, rebuild and exploit the gifts God has so tenderly afforded us and we simply will not be able to realise such dreams with idiots like you running amok.

    While other Continents, ‘races’ and Nations are earnestly pursuing national developments with splendid technological achievements, such as space exploration and travel…

    .. you’re dreaming of tribal war > fratricide. It’s no wonder why Africans occupy the bottom of the food chain, and why they are the subjects of laughter, pity and contempt > ignominiously in need of perpetual food aid.

    I’d like you my dear youngsters to refrain from denial of truth.

    THERE IS NOTHING ACCEPTABLE IN POLITICS! Believe me or not.

    All that is done by the governmment of South Sudan is analysed correctly.

    Those who’ve remained out should not worry because it is time for those nominated and their period will come later.

    Pertaining to sectariansim mostly initiated by Sudantribune commentators, I urge those who like talking about tribes domination in the governmnent seats.

    Don’t say X or Y is very common because it depends on democracy that ‘majority is over minority.’

    Give a credits where it due.Kiir has got it right this time and he deserve good compliments from us so next time he will do better.the cabinet is extremely balanced no doubt.

    the only mistake he made is putting Gier has a minister for Transport and Roads.south sudan need somebody who is a civil engineer to head this department because we do not have roads to managed has some my friends put it.Gier is only going to dictate the success of the few expert we have.

    Garang Diing Akuong and Madut Biar Yel are ministers from Northern Bhar El Ghazal. You should be satisfied in the regard. Kiir is giving NBG finance no more.

    Look you other naive individual who called himself Mammar Gadhafi, you want yours self and me end up like Gadhafi at the hand of the Nuer just becoz we can’t control our greediness and think patiroticly like other South Sudanese who managed to stand-bye looking our greedy pple lotting our new nation properities.

    Do you think it is fair for SPLM to have only three ministers from Nuer and only from one region,Jonglie? For your information, every minister Kirr govt assigned from Upper Nile is always from Shilluk. He purposely ignored other people from that region in hope that the region may be in chaos which is the same reason why all ministers given to the Nuer is given to Jonglie Nuer but the Nuer has been quite abt that so far, but for how long.

    Imagine people who help us stablise our govt being sidelined when it is time like this, example Dr. John Gai Yoha, Head of South Sudan mission in South Africa. be aware that not everyone is like Dr.Riek Machar who does things for us but always sidelined when there is something to eat.

    Yes, is good to solve our problems e.g. Salva Kirr did buy our support by assigning Majack Agut an under secretary pose of Defence. That is a good strategy because the Bor remained the threat to Salva Kirr’s govt as the Nuer are under our control, but for how long no body knows.

    Mr. Cadaai O
    Let me assume that you are from Bor Dinka who don’t want to be. This is just nothing, but idiocy and stupidity. Don’t create unfouded history and that will never be found. I am sorry to comment hashly. I didn’t mean to, but I have to because you are trying to mislead the public. There is nothing! nothing whatsoever called Dinka Duk which you termed to be Hol and Nyarweng, Dinka twic East and West. These tribes never existed and will never. They will remain parts of where they belong regardless of what you want them to be. Take heed of this if you are a sound mineded individual.

    08/28/2011 Awut Deng is doing her job to the nation not president.
    Mr.Makuac, there is something I would like you to explain to me actually, of what is going on with your uncle Aleu Ayiny?
    Why are you guys complain like ladies in the house about this woman call Awut? What is it that you and your uncle Aleu failed to understand here? This is pathetic, and I’m sick and tired about this inept individual called Aleu, who always blame Kiir about anything going on even in the state.

    Please Makuac, you guys fail to understand that Awut Deng, is not working for Tony, (Tonj) or Warap for that matter, but she is working for the Republic of Southsudan. So please Makuac, advise your uncle Aleu that, this is not the right way to advance his political ambitions. Your personal problem would not stop Awut working with president, and you people especially those portion of Tonj, need to respect the president and those he appointed to work for him.
    I know your uncle ALeu will not be happy about the appointment of Awut, but that would not bother either Awut, or president because Aleu has mental problem that need the attention of you, and kind hearted individuals of Warap, to help him. I have never found a selfish, powergreed,and desperate man like Aleu in this planet. I know he is going to call creation of two states in Warap which is childish, and laughable, for people of Southsudan to hear. I hope you readers may agree with me that the man need help. Otherwise, we are well off without this newt and his thugs, who always talk of two states that they don’t have clue. I wonder what having two states in Warap do to Aleu? I know the long war that he himself fought, seem to have cripple his mind, and should not be blame for it. It is the help for him that I’m calling my beloved people of Warap to take care of our mad heros like Aleu.
