Your article is very objective and informative. But the problem of Prof. Dr Peter Nyaba is Dr. Lam. He thinks and article posted on the net was written by Dr. Lam. Prof Dr. Peter Nyaba is not yet satisfy with his current position. He should be a busy person in his ministry instead of washing out for Dr. Lam. You can critize the bible when you are not a Christain. Equally the same you can not critize SPLM-DC when you are not a member of SPLM-DC and the same goes with SPLM.

Nothing deters me from expressing my opinion and yes I solicited many detractors and sometimes outright enemies. Dr. Peter Adwok Otto, my namesake, please don't ever make the mistake to believe that because I am government I could be 'cowed down by ingredients of livelihood'. You were one time a Minister in the so-called the Southern Sudan Coordination Council, the precursor of GOSS, while the war was raging including the burning down of the Chollo villages from papwojo in the south to padiet in the north. I believe what you could have done then, which you unfortunately didn't do, was to protest or resign. You will agree with me that sometimes more proactive stance need to be taken in the interest of the people. This precisely what we have been doing. It doesnot regquire the empty publicity some people would want to engage in. The name of Dr. Lam will always sprout out for good or for bad in any discourse about Southern Sudan. I don't have anything personal against him. However, let me be frank with you. Anything has a price tag attached to it. It is always better to calculate the consequence of any action before embarking on it. That one should not be tempted to believe that what he/she is doing is not be seen. If that is the intelligence that usaully assails our ears then I am sorry it is for the wrong purpose.
Pigi or Akoko counties decreed by the President of GOSS are not situation in the Chollo Kingdom as far as I know. Pigi was a name adopted by the two dinka section of Luach and paweny when they were reconciled in 2009. The H/Qs of this county is located eighteen kilometres south of the canal mouth. Akoka was establ;ished in 2010 to separate the Dingjol from the Ngok and it is based in Akoka town. The encroachment into the Chollo territory occurred because the county administrations of Panyikango and Pachoda didn't take their duties serious and therefore since 2006 left their territories to be occupied by squatters. The current commissioners should now correct this situation and take their administrations to the areas occupied by squatters.
Indeed the Chollo don't need to fight the Padang Dinka or the government of Southern Sudan over something very obvious. The constitution of Southern Sudan stipulates that the borders of Southern Sudan, the states therein as well as the counties, payams, boma are as they stood on January 1st 1956. If there is any administrative or security laps that involves neighbours it should be resolved within the precincts of the law. The Chollo people through their tradition leader, the reth, who also is the custodian of the land of Nyikango has not beeb given the opportunity to address the issue. It has been the intellectuals and the politicians who have been very loud and obviously for narrow political ends.
In contemporary and ancient Chollo history the Reth take the mantle of depending his land and people. I believe if there was mortal danger to the Chollo nation the Reth wouldn't standby. What Reth kwongo has been saying is that the conflict with Padang Dinka is not a priority for the Chollo as long as the people of Southern Sudan are still struggling for their right to self-determination. I believe that is very prudent.
Dr. Peter Adwok Otto, yes you are a member of SPLM-DC and I have no quarrel with that. You can politically oppose Salva Kiir and still I will have no problem with that. But if you take up arms against Salva Kiir then definitely you must know that in the present political context you are working in cohorts with the enemies of peace against the people of Southern Sudan. I will therefore fight you because you present yourself as a spoiler. So your reference to and possibly happiness with what Athor, Gai and other disgruntled officers of the SPLA speaks volumes. You seem to react the role of the biblical woman who wanted the child to be divided into two notwithstanding the demise of the child simply because her child was dead. That you are out of the government should not push you into believing that it is now a limit situation. NO you still have opportunities except that if you have to engage openly in politics in the way I see you then you should just leave your teaching job in Upper Nile University and contend yourself with your clinic in Haj Yusuf. The same advise goes to James Okuki. Stay well.

I am delighted to see how you response to those disgruntle boys. Indeed I have seen Dr Peter Adwok , while he was a ministry during the days when NCP was slaughtering his people. [...] Again I would like to convey me thanks for the lecture that professor Dr Peter adwok Nyaba , had render on this sensitive issue of land .It is an honor that somebody of your status would spare some time and log in to debate issues . I hope people of your high caliber will learn from you .You have rise the standard of Pachodo website . I hope Dr lam Akol will have the courage to defined himself from those serious allegation.

Dear Jwokthab Wanh
Thanks for your posting. I expected to meet you in Khartoum when you came to Sudan recently. Of course I followed from your writings in the website Yirumadi. Now I understand why you couldn’t even make a courtesy call on me. That was unfortunate because I thought we could have exchanged views on the situation rather than engaging in lengthy letters on the website.
I read your piece and came to the conclusion that you did not understand me well and therefore you started to raise issues quite irrelevant to what I said in rebuttal piece to the postings of Dr. Peter Adwok Otto. If you are asking about my contribution to the resolution of the Padang-Dinka and Chollo over the land, yes I have raised the matter where it, and with people that, mattered. I believe the problem is serious that it requires level headedness and objectivity. Emotions and sentimentalism will only escalate and make things difficult. There are people mandate to resolve the matter starting from the county to the state to GOSS and to the National Government in Khartoum. I hope you appreciate where I can engage in all this hierarchal configuration.
I advise you to read my response to Dr. Peter Adwok Otto again and again. Kind regards

Peter Adwok Nyaba

Nominal educational minister, Dr. Naba, your warning that failure of Dr. Lam Akol to win the presidential April election will bring an attack on southerners is baseless because extermination of Collo people doesn’t begin after election, but it is the execution of Dinka policy you yourself have wrote about before election. The execution was begun in Anakdiar and Abanimo. After those incidents, Collo intellectuals and ordinary people have raised question of how to protect their land from aggressive Dinka. Letters were written to Upper Nile state governor, unity government and GOSS urging leaders to end Dinka brutality. Dr. Naba that was a time when fire bottom was ignited by relatives of Collo victims. In addition, more than 300 SPLM members broke away and ran as independents, and one of them George Athor is SPLA enemy today; therefore, not the failure of Dr. Lam to win presidential election that inflicted more mortal grievances. Because of your horrible confusion, I mark you as coward, fruitless leader and historical twister. You must understand this, Collo people are capable without Dr. Lam or you in SPLM to manufacture young leaders to protect their land. Remain too concern about Dr. Lam, but Collo’s daily mortal grievance creates movement within each house that will bring stability and justice to South and our kingdom. Your policy in Juba is encouraging creation of fundamentalists that could blow you into air with your eating table in Juba.
You bloodlessly and unsympathetically resembled the extermination of Collo people by your arrogant party in Gar or Wic Rek with Arab killing of southerners during Anya-Nya one. You make everyone on this website to understand that Collo people are being killed because they vote for SPLM-DC. But the truth is that, Arabs are enemy to any southerner. So any Southerner according Arab must be killed so that southern land will be empty to accommodate immigrating northerners. This time according to your writing, SPLM/A and GOSS replaced Arab by killing other southerners and Collo people to give their land to Dinka. Can you deny this? You cannot deny it.
Dr. Naba, if your government is there to protect, it suppose not to kill Collo people especially when you know SPLM-DC has driven them out. SPLM/GOSS as government should protect them rather than punishing civilians. IS IT LOGICAL TO BLAME MILITANT OR BLAME GOVERNMENT? Arab can not do your act in north where their civilians live. But they do it in south because we are their enemy.
Dr. Naba, you are dreaming to divide Collo people into Gar and Luak. But that will never happen at time of this young Collo generation. Do not bring what happen during war. If Dr. Lam Akol did wrong that time, that was that time. We do not look at the past, but we look forward. If Dr. Lam is willing to correct himself, he could be better than anyone. Remember that Saul from Bible was doing wrong, but he changed completely and become better than anyone who did nothing wrong. Also Jesus did picked a woman who had five men because Jesus knew that woman will be better when she came to know the truth. Dr. Lam and Collo people opened a new page after all of them realised the risk to their being. But you are still addicted by events of past.

Brother William Okuck, i really admired your argument in regards to the disturbing and intentional war wage on collo community , just because of Dr.lam and his new political party ( SPLM-DC) according to the context of Dr peter Adwok Nyaba article dated 9/july in southsudannation website, When you read and understand that article well, you will find all the content of the article is about Dr lam and SPLM-DC.if it's true that the SPLM/A is waging that war against Dr lam, then what is the reason of raping, killing,displacing the innocent civillies and burning down their villages? and if then that is the scenario that who ever disagree with SPLM/A policies, is automatically counted as an enemy and his tribe men are liable to pay the price of their son's political view or direction then why should the same scenario didn't occur in khorfulus the home town of renagate spla George Athor? And when Kuol Deim Kuol, what so call SPLA spokeperson is ask about SPLA atrocities in all those areas where these undiscipline soldiers are carrying out this acts,he is found of dening all these realities.We southerners need to have one agenda, there is no need to schedule another agenda against other tribes or regions on the pretext of subduing their lands.There is now a single tribe, that prove itself to be a troublesome in the whole of the south, claiming that they are the major tribe ( machinical majority) in south and also they are the really people who fought the enemy seriously.But for me this is just nonsense, the war was a collective effords of all southerners be they in the bushes of the south or in the government control areas.So there is no need to permit one tribe to brutalise other tribes in the region with impunity and rob aggressively others peoples lands on pretext of been majority.But they need to be very careful, because these acts will not continue for long, the referendum is at the door, and we don't know what will be after the independence of the south sudan. I called upon all other southern communities to help the collo community from this curse community in south sudan who turn out to be an enemy of peace and harmony among southerners.

It is a complete pity that ignorance have blindfolded you guys from understanding the article of Dr Nyaba. Jwokthob Wanh , Wiliam Okuk and Stephen Pityh you guys need to take some English classes to at least understand what professor Dr Nyab is convey to your primitive minds. This empty beating of war drums you guys are stirring will not help the course of Chollo. You think if all the Dinks were stupid like you guys to wage a all front war with Chollo , then Chollo land will be preserve. For God seek reread what Dr Nyaba had mention about Land so you don’t have to lose one single live for nonsense.
