With due respect, one would like to refute the false allegations aired by Deputy Governor on South Sudan Television on Saturday about the ambush on his vehicle/convoy by what he termed SPLM-DC militia. First and foremost, before one could category refute his statements it is better to explain to the honorable what Shilluk view on militia is?

I read an article on 2010 elections boycott written by Dr. Justin Ambago and would like to share my answer to these questions he raised : "If this may become the real scenario should the laws fail to be amended and the Juba conferees insist as expected not to back off, then where would that leave the greedy NCP? Will the NCP proceed with the elections without SPLM, UMMA, Popular Congress, Sudanese Communist Party and the other political parties?"

With deep sorrow and regret allow me to inform you about the untimely death of Mr. Obaj Othow the elder brother of Addis Ababa Othow the death occurred yesterday in Malakal.
