Dear readers, it is very difficult to live in this country and understand any term used at a certain period of time. The fact that I am a witness of war has made me not quite sure of the difference between the two terms being used in my country, the bullets and the ballots. A politician of my town in South Sudan spoke to us during our prayers for a peaceful referendum and said to the crowd that the unity of Sudan is to be confirmed by southerners in ballot boxes in a peaceful, fair, free and transparent referendum. In the following morning I read in a newspaper that Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) which is the pro- NCP and pro- unity army are unconstitutionally edging towards the North-South border. Most of the southerners who were besides me while reading the paper talked out with fear of another war, if that can not be seen with two eyes. However, my question was why war? One young man told me that the Arabs Government in Khartoum would not like southerners vote peacefully because they know that the south would go. For me, I am confused, whether we need bullets or ballots to confirm the unity of our country. We better rule out what is important before any process. I think we have tried all kind of wars in this nation. To me I think to confirm unity of Sudan by ballots is much better than confirming it by bullets.
The shallow minded Arabs in the dusty Islamic city of Khartoum need to know that we, southerners have shown them in our last two decades of struggle how much we can fight. They need to know that the six years period of CPA was for them to make unity attractive but not for building up army along the north-south border. The failed extreme Islamists must learn that they can not at this time take us back again to slavery. It is just difficult like trying to see your own back without a mirror. To unite this country again is unfortunate and everybody must be convinced with this fact. I want to tell the unionists that they have completely and terribly failed in applying wrong tactics to achieve their bad intentions. Shouting over media microphones for unity can not and will never attract Southerners to vote for a fake unity. It is just the same to say that bringing SAF or the Mejahdeen to border to wait for war is just a fail plan and it has no success and a waste of the national resources.
Our votes are for freedom. We are just walking out of Khartoum for a final freedom. Khartoum with its fake elites can learn that any amount of threats can not make us surrender. Our guests and children of our sisters can not make us suffer under their hands for life. It is enough, more than enough our blood has filled seas and our bones have made hills of heaps. We are going to make our own black country which is truly African. We are tired of being mixed with the artificial Arabs of Khartoum who claim Arabism when the rest of the Arab nations do not truly agree with them because they are not Arabs. I am sure they will be very soon chased out of the Arab league membership because they shall have no oil wealth to bribe the Arab world community to maintain their membership. They need to know that being Muslims doesn’t mean being Arabs. If I am Christian I can not deny my African ethnicity and claim the whites’ (kawaja) one. This is a simple example for that matter. This is how failure starts. How can a man from nowhere claim to rule my nation for ages?
Well, to make this clear, it is to say that we, southerners can not unite this country again. We shall remain in two countries because Arab Muslims in Khartoum want to rule the country with a constitution full of Quran verses when all of us are not Muslims. They annexed our country to Arab world when the majority of us are Africans. They force us to speak their Arabic language when we have our own languages that can let us understand ourselves. They force us to learn Arabic and they refuse to learn ours. We are completely parallels and we can not meet so we can not stay in one country. Whether the unity of this country is to be confirmed by bullets or ballots southern Sudan must go.

Good Enough I know My Candidate for 2011 Referendum
In every voting exercise there exists something or somebody that a voter can choose when casting his/her vote. As in the case of the last April elections in Sudan most of the people had candidates that they wanted to vote for and win the elections. That was good because at least every candidate had tried very hard to make his/her campaigns for success. The questions now remain: who are the candidates for 2011 referendum? And if there are any people at all, then who shall I vote for? As a matter of telling the truth, the candidate for the coming referendum that will be exercised by the southern Sudanese citizens is not a person neither is it a political party, it is the mother land. Each and every person in the south being a politician or not will test his/her loyalty and nationalism to vote for the mother land of south Sudan. The black soil is our candidate ladies and gentlemen. The next rivalry candidate will be the Sudan of Arab world, Sudan of shar'ia law, Sudan of human rights violation and Africans cleansing. So it is up to a southerner to vote for his/her grave, slavery, second citizens, inferiority or else vote for a complete human freedom. We southerners at the same time shall be the ones to pronounce out with our own lips the current unity of Sudan which we completely do not want. If not we make two Sudans for our goodness and freedom. Whether Khartoum works for unity projects or not, it doesn't matter we still can make it.
I shall not leave my motherland, the south Sudan which belongs to me and vote for Sudan for all. There is more freedom in what is mine than in the greater Sudan which belongs to all including the mondukuro in Khartoum. We shall not trust any person again in the coming season and we shall not commit any mistake again. As we know that everything has its own beginning we can not forget that there is also an end for it. The problem of northern Sudan must finish in January 2011or we shall be slaves forever. We can not be cheated this time again with fake unity of resources. Khartoum palace must know that on the map of south Sudan are human beings not resources as they think. The palace in Khartoum sees our beautiful land of South Sudan as oil wells and a place where gold and any other important resources can be extracted. We have to prove it wrong that people are even there. And to do so we vote for separation, an independent state. Our people in the south must understand that if we bring all the northerners to the south living it to them with all that rich resources, and we move to their poor Sahara region which does not support life, as a matter of exchanging regions, I am sure Khartoum will announce separation without any delay. Khartoum aims for unity just because of resources. These people are very jealousy and selfish. They like everything for themselves and for sure they must remain in that Sahara region minus South Sudan. We are tired of them.
Good enough we know who is our candidate for 2011 referendum. Our candidate remains the mother land, we shall vote for separation to give her a landslide win. It is enough to remain as neighbours with mondukorus not as citizens in one country. How can we stay with the people who refuse the history? They have taken enough from us. Since their arrival we gave them our daughters and they gave us none until now.

In The South We Love Separation More than Unity
By Ariik-Dut Atekdit
ariqdudic@yahoo.com
In the South we are separatists and we don’t want people to preach for us a fake unity. It is shameful for the supporters of unity to speak it to the people of Southern Sudan. We have been together with the so-called Khartoumers, (the mondukuru) and their elites for so long. The United Sudan, since the arrival of the Arabs has done a lot of deteriorations in our country, we shared one nation and we can remember its stories very well. We better make two countries. What has unity done for us, ladies and gentlemen? Of course, nothing more than remembering our martyrs. If the unity of the country was good we would have not lost the lives of 2.5 million people during the last two decades. Indeed a united Sudan has been in a very dark period and nobody on earth can orient it. The united Sudan has let us experienced a lot of deaths caused by the Khartoum administrators, we are tired of them. At the same time it cannot be forgotten. And I hope nobody expects us southerners to cast even a single vote into the unity ballot box, we all swear and we support separation. If Khartoum administrators have chosen to preach only unity then we shall preach only separation and we see who will succeed at the end of the day. We want nobody to play about with the rights of South Sudanese. We are not stupid and we shall not entertain people who are playing bad games in front of us, whether they like it or not.
The developmental projects of Maridi reservoir and Mangala River Port which Khartoum thinks to buy for them some votes of unity in the south are nothing to us. Our freedom is more valuable than those fake and unconfirmed projects. They cannot convince us at all to vote for unity, unless on our own free will and we love separation more than unity in the south. The unity of the country as manipulated in the book of comprehensive peace agreement, CPA was to be a voluntary choice not an imposed option as Khartoum attempts. Khartoum has been all these times trying to do things that discourage unity of the country, therefore making separation an only option for the people of southern Sudan. It’s much better to dissolve the union peacefully and we remain neighbours. That would be the best choice otherwise I am sorry to say that it is more than too late.
There is no reason for the Government of Khartoum to campaign for unity and open projects for it. Khartoum would campaign for the exercise of self-determination which is a constitutional right for the people of south Sudan. It would leave the decision for southerners, whether to choose unity or separation. Good enough Khartoum is the first to take one side so do we. Who will blame who? And who pay the price for his own deeds? Of course Khartoum not the South.
To our southern politicians who have failed many times in Khartoum to bring us peace in the south, they should remain in silence and leave us alone to vote for what we like. Politicians have talked a lot in solving the problems in the country and all in vain. Now it is high time for the ordinary Southern Sudanese to speak out their minds. We are the victims we must know better. One might know better where his/her shoe pinches. Leave us alone to pronounce either of the two choices whether being unity or separation. We really dislike political leaders who are trying to rig our hearts with unity, which benefit them and their mere families. Whether bribed or not we would like wrong politicians to maintain silence in Khartoum and eat their money without disturbing our thoughts and decisions. Let people advice you but never let them decide for you. That is our stance and we must make it succeed in the eyes of the hypocrites. And for those who threat for insecurity if south secedes. They are liars. Why this time? We know since in the beginning that the referendum with its two choices of separation or unity will mark the end of the CPA. So why do people worry for referendum? Those who fear the separation are those who have been drinking the blood of their brothers alive with mondukoru’s money, it is up to you we cannot help. South Sudan is going to separate soon, point blank. No way just endure it, ok?

George Athor Will Lose the War As He Lost the Elections.
By Ariik-Dut Atekdit
ariqdudic@yahoo.com
George Athor has shown to the rest of the citizens in the ten Southern States that he had really lost the competition during the last elections in Jonglei State . In the beginning of the so-called Athor complaint of riggings, other people could get convinced that the votes of an independent candidate might have been stolen by a caretaker governor, Kuol Manyang Juuk by using his available power to push himself to be the winner of the April Gubernatorial competition in Jonglei state. But due to the recent situation Mr. Athor has proved it beyond doubt to the entire population of Southern Sudan that he is a loser. Agree it with me, if George Athor was not a loser he would not opt a war against his fellow comrades. If elections were rigged in order to fail him he would better go to the court and the court approves him right. I never find a person solving a problem with another problem. That is impossible. The riggings of the April’s elections as said by Athor is a problem and the war he is waging against the people of Jonglei state is another problem and can not bring the solution at all. Athor will lose his war like he lost the elections.
He has no objectives for his war more than his personal greed for power. Now he is trying to collect a number of his tribesmen to go and fight against Bor Town , assuming that he is going to fight the community of Kuol Manyang, which is not true. In that city of Bor are the poor citizens who among them are his fellow village-mates. Some had voted for him during elections. They loved him and now they are betrayed by their own votes. He is threatening them to evacuate Bor Town because he wants to attack it. The citizens will evacuate leaving behind their properties and lands. They will have no place to resettle on, because they are not prepared to do so. A brilliant politician can not put his citizens in danger like what Athor is doing. He should know that lives of those who have died in his war from both sides are more important than him becoming a governor of Jonglei State . Every competitor in any race knows that he/she can either win or lose. These two opposite words can occur to any of the two racers and none can deny it. If a gazelle wakes in the morning it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Likewise the lion wakes in the morning, it knows it must run the faster gazelle than the slowest one, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you are a gazelle or lion, when the sun comes up you would better be running. What is wrong with George Athor? He can face any of the two phases. Why does he only think that he must be the winner? As if he was contesting with nobody.
George Athor must know that Southern Sudan has moved from being a battled field to a democratic nation. He should not threaten the citizens with war. We only fear democracy these days and we dislike leaders who only know war. Another thing that can prove him wrong is; the fact he asks for the dissolution of the elections results in the Government of Southern Sudan. I just can’t understand? Is Athor rebelling against the state elections results or the GoSS ones? He must better know his mandate. Why should the whole of the elections results be dissolved just because of Athor and his Jonglei state? The rest of the states have conducted their elections and have accepted the results peacefully. What power has he (Athor) to dissolve the accepted results in those states? George Athor is neither wise nor clever because a clever person solves the problem and a wise person avoids it. George has failed to avoid the problem that proves him not wise. He is now again trying to climb the ladder with his wrong leg and therefore he will not be clever a man, by asking for the GoSS elections dissolution. He is just day dreaming.
During his campaign Athor said that he would like to bring a good stability and security to the state citizens blaming Kuol Manyang of the then deteriorating situation in the state. Now who can say that he was speaking the truth? It was just a matter of elections interests to convince votes. If I am wrong. Why is Athor the first person to burst out the escalations in the state he once promise to bring good security to it? To me I believe that he is really an independent. He stood an independently and deserves his failure. I only ask him to mind the lives of others because they are not independents. They stand with people because they believe in togetherness. They know that the current situation in South Sudan doesn’t want minds which struggle for powers but it needs minds that share ideas in order to make South Sudan a strong state and a better place all.
