Mr. Luk Kuth Dak, a Sudanese ran-away journalist in USA and a former radio Juba anchorman is the most disorganized and contradictory writer I have ever come across.For example, in his recent article titled "The Kenana Conference- A Different Perspective!", he wrote that it is the democratic right of Sudanese politicians or associations to express their views freely on important issues concerning the country, yet he astonishingly went out to call Dr. Lam Akol a real agent of evil in the South and a traitor, simply because this astute son of Southern Sudan was very instrumental in the Kenana blessed meetings and resolutions for the rescue of the South. It is known in African traditions and cultures that the wicked witches hate the truth and love duplicity that leads to the suffering of the people. I hope Luk is not trying to award himself a first class certificate here.
Let me rebuke the bad image that the dull journalist tried to draw about Hon. Dr. Lam Akol by stating the following major questionnaires, among others: Did Dr. Lam ordered the illegal arrest of Gen.Tang Ginnye in Malakal and killed innocent people in the town, including the Lost Boy from America? Did Dr. Lam burnt Shilluk villages and killed Shilluk civilians during the 4th CPA Anniversary in Malakal? Did Dr. Lam shoot down Equatorians in Juba during the Christmas time? Did Dr. Lam kill the Murle and Nuer in Jonglei State? Did Dr. Lam kill the Dinkas in Lakes and Warrab States? Did Dr. Lam withdraw huge sum of money in the Central Bank of Southern Sudan without being stopped by the Commissioner? Did Dr. Lam embezzle 60 Millions US Dollars in 2005 or bought GoSS vehicles with highly inflated receipts? Did Dr. Lam buy mansions in USA and Australia with stolen public money? Did Dr. Lam receive many heads of cows from 2% of oil money in oil producing states? Does Dr. Lam get drunk on daily basis and go to immoral beds with concubines and Brown East Africans beauties in return for incompetence employment or dollars? Why did Dr. Garang, Salva Kiir and Pagan Amum associate and eat on one table with the NIF cadres in Khartoum if the NCP cadres were untouchable evils? Who are the real evil agents and traitors of the South if we evaluate what our so-called SPLM leaders have been doing in the South since the signing of the CPA?
Please Luk Kuth, if you write your article when Johnnie Walker roams inside your head, do not expose your wicked sadism about Dr. Lam Akol to the public; keep it to your private evil heart. And if you do not appreciate the sincerer recommendations and early-warning message sent out from Kenana to help the SPLM leadership corrects its messing up over public wealth and power in Southern Sudan before it is too late, then you better enjoy your refuge in peace and silence. Do not expose your ignorance about the disturbing situation of our dear vulnerable Southerners. If the Kenana resolutions could be one of the agendas discussed in the extra-ordinary meeting of the SPLM Politburo, then you must be writing in a dream-world of America. If the Kenana recommendations were nonsense and utopian, the SPLM leaders would have not got worried to respond to them in a shorter time and order for immediate evaluation of SPLM popularity.
Mr. Luk, be ashamed to lie to your readers that H.E. Salva Kiir was elected by the people to hold the highest public office in the GoSS and in the GoNU. When did that election take place in reality if not in your imagination? Could you please wait, perhaps, until your man is elected next year if he passes the polls for the post in the first place? If Mr. Salva Kiir is shivering to contest with the one you call the criminal who is wanted in The Hague by Ocampo and his women, how will it be for him when he faces a race with a non-criminalized politician in the South next year. Will he be patient to allow the SPLM to promote free and fair campaigns and elections in the South as he wants the NCP to do it in the North? Is he prepared for the loss of elections if the people who have been suffering in silence rejected him in ballot boxes?
Please Mr. Luk if you are not a wicked witch; do not waste your time and energy spearing the shadows when the real elephants are just moving untouched. Could you tell your incompetent and corrupt leaders in the SPLM to repent and apologize to the people of Southern Sudan within this year before they face the wrath of expulsion from GoSS and GoNU offices by democratic votes next year? Without a doubt, it is people like your kind who are ruining the dignity of the SPLM by not telling the truth. It is not a joke when the wise people say that people must tell the truth if they want to become free from any kind of evil. Our dear Southern Sudan has been stroked by tripartite evils of tribalism, corruption and insecurity. Until the SPLM ruling party in the South admit this fact by telling the truth, it shall remain enslaved by these social evils. People shall run out of patience and kick out those who refuse to listen to their plight. Nothing is greater than the people's power whatsoever the threats and intimidations.

James Okok, do you know the words you always used as "a Sudanese ran-away". Please may you stop!!
Ofen call sudanese in diapora as th cowardic people who run away. I wondered if you know what you were talking about. If I can ask you what war did you fought? Okok, you forget that you are in Niarobi kenya and if I can ask who took you there, wasnt because you run way.
Please, be careful, you forget that your readers are the same people you are calling run away sudanese.

I congratulate you, to be concerned Mr. James Okuk.
You know, in such circumstances, one has much time to think. What is the interest of Luk Kuth Dak to barked at daytime? I don't blame him. I am sure, he can't barked without stimulus from those who called themselves " I am the heads and legs of SPLM.
Luk‘s bark is worse than his bitted. I appreciate your kindly reply on time
Shameful and embarrassing to barking dog to stooped looking after walking element in the hay.
Salva Kiir as the president of south Sudan is a scenario full of intricacies to the people of South Sudan. Salva Kiir was selected just like, going to restaurant with friends. Orders what your friends want to eat. Did you hear his announcement publicly to be honest?Who is real SPLM member in south Sudan?
Who bring who into being a SPLM? Think big not small.

Thank you James for voicing against unjust attack on our national figure as Dr. Lam. It is true as you warned Luk that "do not expose your wicked sadism when you drink Johnnie walker.” However, there is a deadly wrestling between our Lord and evil which had occurred right away after the creation in Eden Garden. Evil is hardly trying to replace good with bad. Among us, there are those who speak spiritual language and those who use evil tongue. So any person who speaks evil language invites it to dwell in his/her heart and from that heart will emerge poisonous fruit harmful to God children.
SPLM/A was established with blood and its followers inherited that culture. There is a saying that, son as father and father as son. Then the SPLM/A supporters follow their tyrannical leader Dr. John Garang.
According to the article “Garang’s secret plan to marginalize the Nuer at Navisha 2005” posted in Sudan Tribune website on July 21, 2008, it reminded all of us what Garang said through SP...
