I thank our brothers for their initiative to meet their king. Great job. But my advise is that, not urge Collo people to re-establish their houses in the confiscated land to avoid lose of lives. You know, those who were inspired to invade Collo land might be well equiped with weapon which Collo do not have. So sending someone to re-build near a invader with gun in his hand is like sucide.
Land confiscation or any citizen property being taken forcefull, should be retuned by law. There is GOSS which is responsible for the whole South, therefore, it is GOSS accountability to impose justice among its citizens. Conquering and re-conquering suppose to be during Arab domination in South rather than now. If current GOSS is un-willing to restore order and justice, let not to push our people to be kill by people who have gun. Let wait for next election. If ccivilians fight or invaders oppose Collo from re-building their houses, to which entity will they go to complain and what kind of authority and mandate does that body possesses?
I urged the delegate to form a committee to collect the information about confiscated land and delegate them to GOSS. It would be good idea if we recruit lawyers for that task.

thank Rev/Daniel for briefing us about border dispute issue and the delegations mission.Although aperson-to-person contact sometimes is not a reliable source, I can consider what you have listed as the outcome of the meeting as a problem-solving conflict resolution from Reth Kwongo Dak. It doesn't mean that the resolution will remove the cause of border dispute, I personally think that it creates conditions for cooperative relationships and it tries to predict future relationships.
we must resolve the conflict in a way that help us to live well with other people, and this doesn't mean we are in a weak position.Resolving conflict always requires time and emotional turmoil to resolve.it is a price that must be paid by us, as long as the relatioship is concerned.
Yes, there are different ways to solve a problem or settle a conflict.A conflict can be handled in one of the ways: either we become out-of-control arguig and fighting, or staying in control discussing and resolving the conflict with a disciplined process as what Reth Kwongo did with the delegates.I think we remain in emotional control to lead the conlictthrough a dispute resolution process

Typographical error in last sentence: the conflict through

land is one among other reasons that let to the longest war ever in the history of Africa and if we seriously fought Jelaba for our land then there is no any reason on earth that will hinder us to confront the black Jelaba. Imagine the bellow events:
it was after a long debate that invaders allowed our late J.Kur to be buried in his own village ( wejleyal adhedhang).
Again the houses of CDR.Gwang in his village were distroyed.And the youth of Panyikang county were prevented not build their club in Atar twon. all these happened, and both his majesty and our parliamentarians in GOSS & upper Nile. Are aware. in liberation struggle, collo kindom had contributed with thusands of fighters tasksforces and batallions (fashoda, Daneil shuago,shames etc)in addition to Collo Sons at the high tops of military (SPLM). our leaders must take this seriously.

Thank brothers for having forwarded our foggten or ignored problems.we are watching it,feeling it, even seeing and knowing that is going on the ground right now, but because of the condition was up and down, many could not utter out publicaly or to come up with a direct solution. i know that we all love our land, and our people. It was like commitng sucid!!when one rise up such issues (land and border).but that was before! not now. we don't need to go back to the bush to fight!
FIRST MISTAKE we have shown to the all nation that we are not united and have lost real common goal for our people.it has become advantagous to the others, beleive me or not,they know every thing about us, that we are not the collo of before(without division or belonging to the particular side).but they will be quite soon let it be a leason to us.
by uniting for the sake of collo, not as an individual.
they know we can not join the jelaba because the history can tell where collo stood many years ago, we made such sacrifice before.
we need just a unity and finaly no body will deny our right when comming to the real situation at both national and local issues.
we don't expect somebody to tell us what to do.we are the southerner and if there is peace in the south, why not in the collo land? we need the GOSS to answer our question. How can the other fellow southerners have an appetite on some body land when other are enjoying their land? and the GOSS seemly an aware or ready (as if thereis no thing happening) other have assumly addapted it,now about the border.We fought for years because of land and border some months ago. so it is contrading that our border issues with our countrymen whom we fought a long with, and blindly looking down into the main issue, why is that they forget very fast and sooner that expected.
it hurt me so much when i see my people right being pushed back.when
this period is for recovering or reconstruction not distruction.
let's stand up and. asure ourselves that anything that affects our land is also affecting us all regadless to which politic,relegion, we fellow or where we live or come from.a peaciful mean is the final hope.
that will be a good sign. and those who start it are the kind of people we need and i personly appreciate them for their stand.
thank

اشكر الذين قاموا بالمبادرة العظيم ونتمنى لهم النجاح في انجاز مهمة الوطنية العظيمة اي قضايا الحدودية للمناطق شلو المختلفة 0
ولانجاز هزه المهمة محتاجين لوحدة صف الشلكي لان قوتنا في وحدتنا0
قد نحتاج لمثل هذا الجهد العظيم من ابناء شلو المخلصين في زمن نشهد فيه الاحتلال الواسع المنظم لمعظم مناطق شلو الواقعة على الضفة الشرقية للنيل ,وهذا الاحتلال المنظم تقوم به جهات معلومة تمتلك ترسانة عسكرية وكوادر عسكرية مدربة ولا نجد اي تحرك من حكومة ولاية اعالي النيل المسؤلة عن امن مواطنين الولاية بمختلف اثنياتهم وقبائلهم بل نجدها تهتهم فقط بفصل العاملين دون اي خدمة ملحوظة تخدم لانسان الولاية وتنتهك دستور حكومةجنوب السودان التي تنص على ان الاراضي والحدود تكون لمواطنين الذين سكنوا المنطقة المعنية قبل عام 1983م اي قبل تاسيس الحركة الشعبية والجيسش الشعبي لتحرير السودان في الختام نتمنى من مواصلة جهودهم في مهمة الصعبة وسنكونوا دعماً من خلفكم0

فى البدء نشيد بالوفد الزى وضع على عاتقه المبادره بتنبيه الناس للمخاطر والصعوبات التى اصبحت تواجه مجتمع شلو بكل جوانبه السياسيه والامنيه والاداريه. ليس المهم الان الدخول فى الجدل العقيم حول من قام بتكليف الوفد او تفويضه للقيام بتلك المهمة بل واجبنا هو ان نشد من ازرهم لنعطى العمليه دفعه قويه ونجلس جميعا لنتدارس الامر بصوره علميه وممنهجة وزلك لا يتاتى الا بوضع خلافاتنا واختلافاتنا جانبا وتشكيل لجنة سياسيه قانونيه ومن زوى الخبره زات الصله بالموضوع ومن ثم رفع تظلماتنا واشكالياتنا بعد صياغتها الى حكومة الجنوب الزى هو المعنى الاول والاخير بتلك القضيه . وازا لم نجد ما نرجوه من حكومتنا حينها لكل حادث حديث . ما نزكر به انفسنا دائما هى انه لن يكن لاحد ان يتجرا لاحتلال مناطقنا او خلق اضطرابات امنيه او تهميشنا على مستوى حكومة الجنوب لو لم يكن على يقين بان مجتمع شلو فى اضعف واوهن لحظاته على مر التاريخ. لاننا اختلفنا فى بعضنا فاصبحت ليست هناك خطوط حمر بالنسبة للمصالح العلياء لمجتمعنا مما جعله عرضة للنهش لكل من هب ودب .فلتكن هزه المخاطر والتحديات دافعا لنا لطى صفحة الخلافات وخلق علاقات تسوده الود والاحترام والتى هى بالتالى مدعاة لاسباب القوة والمنعة . حينها سوف يفكر الاخرين الف مرة قبل ان يتجراوا و يتخزوا اى اجراء ضدنا

The southerners had fought northners for many years to resist the marginalization and for the development of our land. God has responded to our prayers untill the CPA was signed. But it seems we have finished the first war and now we are moving to the second one which related to the border. The demarcation of border between the south and the north not yet resolved and it could be the starting point of war again between south and north as Abyi issue is a good example for that war.The surprise is the at the time the GOSS and some politicians are in front line to demarcate the border between south and north the other southerners have already started confiscation of their brothers's land. My question to the southerners is that, Are we to fight for border between north and south or broders between counties in south? Then if we have to fight for the south/north border how could I fight for that while my land is occupied by my brothers? (charity begins at home). Anyhow, I appreciate the initiative of Collo although it came late.

I would like to give my appreciation to the delegation for their awaited role. Unless we do nobody can do it.
People need to hear clear message from the GOSS.
Does he has power to enforce law among states borders?
People need to hear clear message from Governor of Upper Nile State.
Does he has power to enforce law among its counties borders?
I think GOSS goverment and UNS government have role to play and demostrarte responsibilities they assume which primarily pretecting citizens and their properties.

I would like to join brothers/ sisters who gave their appreciation to the delegation for their initiative which mean a lot to us. Now, we are facing the problem of the land because we have shown others our weakness that we are not speaking one voice, when coming to the essential issues that affect our community as whole. Therefore, unity among us is the only thing that will empower us to deal with the storms which are challenging our community these days. For,If we don’t speak with one voice, I think we won’t achieve what we aid to, which is settlement for our people in their lands. We heard about the border problems in Equatorial states, which give us the absolute evident that this case is not by chance like others think, but is planned by invaders. I hope that the GoSS would listen to the voices that called for the immediate solutions for these border problems before it go out of hands.

If Jonglei State want to invade Upper Nile State Land, then Upper Nile State has right to deploy its local enforcement personnels to protect its borders and citizens, and that how system should be in first place.
Secondly,
Troops invading Upper Nile State Land, are they Jonglei State Troops or SPLA Troops, people need to draw and know that distinction.
If they are SPLA troops then GOSS has to take immediate responsibility.
If they are Jonglei troops then Upper has to execute his responsibility on his territory.You can't called your self a State while your land is under invasion by other State.

Thank brothers/sisters who have shown their concern about our profoundness of collo. this time we need to take extra prcaution, because there will be other underground channels either within ourselves or out side.Though very few,there are some elements of 'peacehobic' who will do nothing but enforce the other, potenial 'enemies' of collo.
There is no any tribe in sudan that doesn't know our hospitality; we don't attack our neighbours,or interested in other people's properties. Everybody knows that. we are very talented and the most organised people (not my own veiw but ducomentarly)But the most dangerous part of it for the first time in collo history is that some of their intectuals are a parts of their continual problems.
We are ready to do more not only to collo but to the all south and sudan at large. Let try to put aside our differences.They are parts of our human natur. Let's respeact our values, and those who want to dislocat us will feel ashame,and do nothing before our response.
In stead of us being in worry day and night, and forget that our unity is the only solution. It is the treatment to our existing problems, and is our resposibilty to eradicate the diease(divison within us) or treat a symptom, (or both).
otherwise we will be wasting our time,talking without effective out come.
My question is,"When will our top leaders come together to show us practically that they are not divided?" "They need to prove it to us". And as a collo youth, we are the hope and can do any thing that can cause real change.these world of ours is not like those of yesterday, so let's not being directionless and left behind!
Stop being drage to the wrong direction, be yourselve and defend our people for their good cause.

If it is true as brother Ayik mentioned in his comment that some Collo intellectuals are parts of these problem than it will be harder for us to deal with perpetrates. It is important at this critical time for Collo to put their differences aside and united so that we can deal with those who want to invade our land. The outsider want to take advantage of disunity that exist among Collo today but let me make clear to those perpetrates that Collo security always first regarding of our differences. Collo will meet any perpetrates who want to invade Collo land with full use of force if necessary.
