  Dear WES’s citizens,

  Just be calm brothers and let’s those at the top sort it out since they know much than we do. Otherwise, it’s irresponsible not attend to the details clearly.

    dear citizens of western equatoria state,

    your great contribution in defense of this land now called south sudan is known historically since the time of british when you fought them with the nuer so bravely and courageously and forced them to retreat mentally.

    your votes in the referendum on self determination brought this independence and no body would deny that. it was just an error from the officials who rushed and printed the book without proper scrutiny.

    i also love you the people of western equatoria because you exercised true democracy during the elections. there was no any other state that did the elections democratically like you. western equatoria has proved to be number one in democratic exercise.

    that bad mistake will be corrected in that rush hour book.

    This is an immense mistake. Someone has to resign for it. If not Kiir and Barbnaba have to go to Western Equatoria to apologize in person. The governor should not have gone to find out. They had to come to the state to explain and apologize, because it is not a simple mistake.

  During the war, half of Equatorians ran to Uganda and claimed to be Ugandans. They never claimed that they were left behind but when there is an error in the book, they catch it within 1 second, and make it such a big deal. The minister should not be ask to step down because of an error which can be corrected. Everyone make mistake. Those who are stealing money are the ones to step down.

    Man koryom 2,

    "Tit for tat" is only good if we want to become a fail State. Do you? I bet you don,t, and if so then let embrace our togetherness instead of the opposite. This is a time to corret our common mistakes and we cann,t afford to lose it.

  I think this is a lesson for GOSS Ministers not to signs anything in the future without reading it first otherwise, they must have to go back and check many documents which they signed just for acuarcy.

    aleu,

    blame the president himself who signed the book without first reading it. he knew he rules 10 states and yet he signed for only 9 states. what does that mean?

    let me tell you i don’t think the president knows even what he signed in the transitional constitition. in the constitution he said he didn’t want arabic as official language with english and yet people still use arabic as official even on south sudan tv and he did not remind any one. he himself still addresses official meetings in arabic as i watched on tv yesterday.

    last time it was said there was an order banning the use of ’excellency’ with the exception of the president, and yet i watch on tv too many excellencies still being said to ministers and commissioners.

    i believe most of our officials do not read and digest documents before they act upon them.

    pathetic.

      Midiit,

      There is thing your are missing brother, how do you expect Salva to read the book. Yes, I agreed that he is a PhD holder but he is not in a position to read that book.

      To relief the pain and correct the mistake fully, some committee including the minister should be fired and Salva now can apologized to the citizen of Equatoria

  Geat W.Equatoria should not be worried about book. Human error, computer error are always exist. Next time the minister need be careful with his work and they should never rash to the President to sign those kinds of important documents. I know that the President trust him very well and now he need be careful too.

  Why do you want to resign or request some one to leave his/her job for just the simple mistake that should be corrected. You know what? that kind of thinking increase the level of illiteracy----,I am so sad indeed—.

  The minister must explain himself clearly to the people of W.Equatoria and even Mayardit himself signed the document, what the heck is this president doing, The president is to apologize to the W.Equatorian as well or the minister is to resign.

    W. Equatoria citizens take just a moment to pardon our leaders on what happen like this. Your contribution is very great for this country though it is not jotted in the book it is still known. You’re not forgotten.

    There is a saying ’mistake is human being’ it is true that is why you find many Authors do consider 2nd edition to be genuine.

    To our ministers, you’ve a problem of professionalism. Don’t mislead the president it is your work you’ve to go through your work before you a signed to the higher authority.
    Secondly, avoid employed foreigners on such fields. You may never know that others come with intension to cause misunderstanding.

    God Bless Western Equatoria.

      Running faster with lack of confidentiality will massing more mistakes. How a huge state like W. Equatoria should be excluded out from all states of South Sudan independent historical book? How a president of state can sign book without reading? Lack of cooperation among ministers is a failure to the government. If this book is written and present it to all ministers then this mistake should be correct before the book distributed to the public. The same to state new Currency; President should not signed them before his minsters view how they merely look before issuing them to public. Now how unpleasant do the government receive the reaction from public? And how long the government will keep apologising to the public?
      W. Equatoria is the first state that offers it congratulation to president of new state and they have also point out that they will support the president of new state Salva Kiir Mayardit. None of other states never yet congratulated president or supporting him. Jonglei said bit part of it but not enough like what has been say Western Equatoria citizens.
      We need one another!!!!!!!!

  Dear W. Equatorians.

  The mistake being done by the committee not the minister could be forgiven, otherwise Mr.minister and the committee are not an Angels of God who can not make any mistake.

  You morons,over there, this is not just a mere mistake/error to be taken lightly! it is a conspiracy against the good people of western Equatoria and Equatoria in General.why? because Western Equatoria is one of the most important states in South sudan and we have only 10 states, not 52 or so like in USA. what if those were counties how many would have been forgotten,excluded? it is not an error, it is deliberate act by the ’Liberators’! why the useless, Warrap was not forgotten? why why why? this is the gravest insult and humililation to the greater equatoria, we call for the resignation of all those involved in this evil act.distorting history like what Arabs did!

    Good Citizen, I agree with you that whoever is linked to this shameful mistake or intentional omission of Western Equatoria have to go. Our people in the ten southern states deserve full recognition for their history votes for our independence.

  That’s what I’m always saying that our participation in this movement has not been recognized by those dogs at all, we fed them during the time of war but they are now turning their backs on us. There is no problem but that minister is no longer welcome in my state. How can you forget one of the great states in the South Sudan from that book? was that lack of competence, lack of professionalism, a deliberate act, an insult or provocation?
