Dear DR.D.Thabo,thaks for what your are doing here by posting this important articles, I did not read the (PDF)but I have download it,but I appreciate the way of writting such issue to participate in enlighting people about story of the past.
This attempt at educating ourselves about history is highly welcomed. However, this fall short of how the town of Malakal actually developed; when and why it was transferred from Taufikia; its different quarters and why they were named so; its northern and southern borders; why it only was a Town council unlike others which were in general councils; which districts bordered Malakal and why Abuong district, renamed Bailiet, administered from Malakal which now prompts the Padang Dinka to think that Malakal is Dinka land; how Malakal as a town was linked tp bailiet and Akoka to form one geographic constituency during the 1956, 1967 parliamentary elections and many other facts should have been inculded to make it really a history of Malakal. So Dr. Daniel should please fill the gaps as this will contribute to resolving the on going claims. regards
