What had began as a simple contempt of her Rethship’s court, turned out to an everlasting curse, exclusion, and discrediting of all women from ascension into the throne of the Collo kingdom. The thorny decision amounted to a “smeared axe” onto the women’s face.

Her Majesty Queen/ Abudhok Nya Pwoc, falls number eight (8) in the traditional censorship of the “Orri” Collo (Princes and Princess), who successfully, reached the highest plateau of ruling “Kwom” in the history of Collo. Widely believed to have assumed the throne from (1661-1667), Abudhok ruled from Pathworo and her reign lasted for almost a decade.

The end of the so-called partnership crisis of the Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement (SPLM) with the National Congress Party (NCP), and the call off of the seventy-five days “suspension of the activities” of the SPLM cadres in the executive constitutional position of the Government of National Unity (GoNU), has been welcomed by the Sudanese people not because of its effectiveness, but of the possibility of continuation of the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). The Sudanese people, especially Southerners, have discovered that they have no alternative valuable hope for stability in the country except the realization of the protocols of the CPA.

So this is Christmas, what have you done? Another year is over and a new one almost just began! In this Christmas, I hope you have fun with the near and the dear ones. The old and the young. So let?s hope it?s a good one without any fear, for weak and the strong, for rich and for the poor ones, for black and for white, for yellow and red ones. Let?s stop all the fight, because Love, Peace and Joy came down on earth on Christmas day...

Sending the warmest Christmas wishes to you and your families. May God shower His choicest blessings on you and your families this Christmas. A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

As we have entered the last month of the year 2007, of the Second Millennium, Collo (Shilluk) people must stand up and hold their right hands upon their chests, for a minute of silence in recognition of those killed, slain, and slaughtered in the small town of El Jebellin on 28 and 29 of December 1989.

وجاء القرار بعد الاطلاع على تقرير لجنة التحقيق في تصريحات المقالين الاول باتهامه لاعضاء في الحركة بالعمل علي الاطاحة برئيسها، والثاني لاتهامه الحكومة اليوغندية بالضلوع في حادثة وفاة زعيم الحركة، الراحل الدكتورجون قرنق .
من جانبه، قال أليو أجانق لـ"الصحافة" انه لم يتلقَ قرار فصله رسميا، واعتبر الخطوة غير ممكنة لجهة انه لا يوجد شخص يستطيع ان ينفرد بمثل هذا القرار حسب النظام الأساسي للحركة الشعبية، وقال "البفصلني أنا بفصله".
