I think those SPLM IO will never lead us to this situation we have our national team

  Conservative,
  There is nothing called SPLM-IO. This ’SPLM-IO’ name was "created by the evil juus (so-called israelis), the US, the UK and some of their creep here in the IGAD and the AU" in January 2014 here in state of Jonglei, Bor. And Mr. Riek Machar, Taban Deng Gai, Alfred Lado Gore and other bunch of foreign puppets/stooges were advised to go the ’hotels, brothels and bars their Abesh>>>>

    (so-called ethiopia), to go and ’used the SPLM-IO name’ or else, Mr. Riek Machar "Sudan resistant movement (SRM)" would not be supported by the US, the UK, the UK, their evil juus (so-called israelis), their cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, their gulf Arabs states’ financiers and some of their creeps here in the IGAD and the AU>>>

      All these ’cheap and dirty intrigues’ were all about for *the US, the UK, their UN, their evil juus (so-called israelis) and some of their creeps in between here in the IGAD and the AU to save face. ’That they were not behind the *15/12/2013 foiled coup attempt in Juba* The real 15/12/2013 coup plotters went and showed their true colours in negotiation in the hotels, brothels>>>>>

        This whole document https://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article56093 was nothing to do with the peace in South Sudan, it was about the foreign power to come and take over the sovereign of South Sudan on the ’on the pretext of the UN, humanitarian aid, donations, peacekeeping and human rights business scam bullshits’>>>
        
        15 November 2019 05:43, by Pakuai
        
        Lowly informed South Sudanese fools, the US, the UK, their evil juus (so-called israelis), our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians), their gulf Arab states, their UN, their sleazy NGOs and some of their creepy allies here in the IGAD and the AU, were the ones who where negotiating themselves into our country and over people fellows>>>>

        South Sudanese women can play any sport just like everyone else. South Sudanese men always go and play sports in other countries these days. And they don’t always win. But South Sudanese people know that it is just a sports. You lose today and win tomorrow. By the way, if the boys who often go and represent ’South Sudan’ in other countries, were Dinkas/Muonyjiengs’, some of the Dinkas/Muonyjiengs>
        
        15 November 2019 05:58, by Pakuai
        
        would have ’screamed at their usual top of evil lungs’ that the Dinkas/Jenges are not letting other South Sudanese to play sport. But it is not the case, every community is represented in South Sudan sport. And even Equatorians and some of their trashes who always ’chirp like birds’ about their know how about everything than the Dinkas/Jenges have been told to ’show us what they got’>>>
        
        15 November 2019 06:06, by Pakuai
        
        But the losers don’t have anything to show South Sudanese people. When the Dinkas/Muonyjiengs of the Sudan later take ’sporting’ then the losers would again complain that the Dinkas/Jenges are bullying them and controlling everything in South Sudan. Fellows, be very careful.>>>

        From 2005 till today, jiengelands have had no wars and should have contributed the bulk of all sportsmen/women. But nothing. Perhaps if we hang sacks of food behind a moving truck, that would make them run. Even the tallest jienges are like thin broomsticks without physique. Their Nyanjienges are married at 14 yrs are unfit for anything. So Pakuai what domination, jienge?

        Hey Nigger, why are you so obsessed with whether dinka women join sports or not. If they’re not interested in football than that’s their business. Get your ugly ape looking w9men to join if you want. No one gives a fuck.
        
        Also what physique does your small tribe have? The Dinkas tall thin bodies didn’t stop them from conquering ancient Karo land. chimp 🐵
