    Well, thank you all for your recognition but we DO NOT need any recognition from the Satanic evil state of Iran until their satanic leader Hamadi Najad or whatever is gone.

    I thank all the countries that have already recognized our new nation and argue all the rest who are still sleeping or deciding to do so.

    They must put pressure our leaders to live up with their promises of exercising democracy, rule of law, justice and fighting corruptions, as those are the some of excess of evil in every country.

    It is a pleasure for our newly born nation to be recognized fully as a member of community of nations. This would not have happened without the moral, practical support of the western world. You never avoided the jungles of South Sudan to feed the malnourished children, cure the old and young. You kept spreading the suffering of people to the world to take action. Together the people of South Sudan have removed the shackles of Arabism and Islamism. Now is the time for the South to build and join with other to rid the world the forces of evil who have brought enormous suffering to mankind.
