By this spirit of unity Southern Sudan will walk out from the difficulties
Let us keep this for the good future of Southern Sudan.
We need SPLM leadership to keep the unity of Southern Sudan political parties for the benefit of our people and our born country. SPLM alone without others parties nothing for Southern Sudan.
Congratulations for all leaders of Southern Sudan parties and to people of Southern Sudan for this important step, but there are others issue we are waiting for also to agree on it.
Great work political leaders. We are learning how to walk and it is better when you tell us that we learn together. So that when we go wrong we know that it our mistake and will be ready to correct. The Democratic world of today is more of 'WE" rather thann "I" We have learnt this from the election and the referandum. Let us apply it in every decision making so as to avoid suspicious for we are multy ethenic tribes and our decisions can easily be misunderstood.
