Response to Mr. Luk Kuth Dak

Mr. Luk Kuth Dak placed Martin Luther King in his opening paragraph so to give some meaning to his message. Martin Luther King speech doesn't fit anywhere nor can he use that speech to support his argument simply because it was a speech made in the struggle against racism not tribalism, corruption, zero political direction, economic bankruptcy or zero services to the governed.

There is a quotation from Martin Luther King Jr that: don't judge my children from their color but from the content of their character-a dream... How could Martin Luther King judge or describe SPLM leadership if he was just alive. Could he have said a good concerned responsible government of the people?

Mr Luk is judging people from the color but not the content of their behavior. It is up to Luk Kuth Dak to clarify to us again what color are the people he calls Jallaba and who are the black people hated by the NCP or NIF.

NCP is a political party and PCP (Popular Congress party) is too a political part and Hassan El-Turabi is famous in Sudan history and his stance toward others of different religious background. He was active in politics in South Sudan and it is up to Mr. Luk to tell us whether he was invited by SPLM-DC to South Sudan or if he isn't one of the NIF.

Not all democratic nations can solve ones problems---SPLM was skeptical about France's stance during the civil war and the NCP waved a gesture of welcome to France more than USA or other Western powers but now NCP is pointing figure at France being behind the games in Western Sudan and Chad. So SPLM was first with Soviet not Western World but later thought of being friendly to democratic nations. SPLM-DC is a democratic party in itself and that can not be a reason for not visiting Syria . The SPLM and their partners have a good number of students and employees in training in Iran . We don't probe into internal issues of other nations because we are not government or part of the governing bodies in Sudan . It is good that Mr. Luk Kuth has made know terrorists are in Syria and may he can give evidences of that to the Anti-Terrorist Squads.

As far as the SPLM-DC general congress is concerned it was the most successful so far. Sudanese came from all over the Sudan . North,West and South Darfur are people called furs ,Kasala+PortSudan+Gadarif, Blue Nile state are typical Africans and from the Southern States so it is hard to understand why only the adorob who came from the East is a problem to Kuth.

Mr kuth talked of lavish expenditure but he seemed to forget there is shameful ugly irresponsible use of money intended for the under developed South Sudan done by SPLM-GOSS clique on daily basis. He is the one to enumerate how many GOSS officials have their names in corruption list especially money embezzlement. That reasoned amount spent for the general congress or convention of all marginalized Sudanese people is very less compared to the amount spent by one GOSS official Mr. Pagan Amum for buying two houses in COLORADO USA just only this year or last year.

Mr. Luk Kuth Dak should not ignore the suffering of the thousands of Sudanese and in particular South Sudanese who are suffering from the GOSS regime and are yearning for a change in their lives regarding individual and collective security, economic status, health, political direction, tribalism etc.

SPLM-DC is not about individuals. SPLM-DC is a political party borned to save all Sudanes and to liberate dictatorship,corruption,tribalism and suffering where it happens today. So it is not an archive office or history museum for recording or keeping backgrounds of Sudanese people or individual. SPLM-DC has a clear objective and the answers Mr.Luk needs is why can't he come back home and mobilize than concentrating on Elders or finger-pointing to old experienced politicians and pouring his sentiments blindly from United States of America.
