      Some major local languages should also be included, must of Equatorians don’t understand arabic so it is probably good for languages like Bari, Lotuko, Azende, Madi, Acholi, Nuer,Shullik,Din dinka to broadcast. Breaking news like Mundari attacked by dinkas, dinkas attacked Nuer, dinkas sold their girls to Murle or dinkas kill themselves should be announcing in every language to let people be aware of the poor tribal game in South Sudan. Our city of "Greater Equatorians People" is the best place to live.

        Your stupid to mention SPLA in your comments, SPLA has done nothing rather than looting the fund. My friend let me remind u, if SPLA sould be under capable man by this time every county in South could be having their own radio station and major road passing through. If you don’t change your mind, your face, your beliefs, values, attitude and behavuors to DC you will end up with nothing, but criminal records. Loved African Man LAM is the best of all, he has a position mission and vision. LAM has a wise strategy to deal with arabs unlike your Kiir treated by arabs as a child.

    Very good move by France, but let them not involve in political and tribal incitement like they did in Ruwanda which lead to the Ruwanda genocide, however France is welcome to improve media and press development.

      That is right becuse dinkas are decieve simply like flies attracked by rotten meat. Think back to the way how arabs used to convert dinkas. If you don’t advice your people frence will bring mess into your village.

    Good news but!!

    When selecting people who are going to work in that radio, those without teeth should not accept since someone without teeth pronous P as F as the result they confuse people.

    Logic Boy,

    Yes Breaking news should be broadcast in all languages so that people should kknow or hear how backward GOSS is doing!!

      Dear Busta2,

      Your comment doesn’t make any sense to southern people in general and myselft in particular.

      Do you think that, people will be select depending on their teeth? You are totally wrong at that point,although the selection must be conducted on broatcast qualifications not the only way you look at or claimed to be.

      I think those with teeth and teethless as you claimed were all got taught at schools and I strongly belive that those with no teeth are the most smartest then you. Let me give you an exmaple of fomer Southern Sudan president Dr.John Garang.Do you know how smartest he was?

      When people are debating and focusing on political issues you sould not leave them without contributing just little and walk away, poison the air.

      Befoer I make a final conclution, let me remain you that your "door mother tounge accent" will never never be disappear when takling english, that you should work hard and harder on it,in order to improve it.

      Thanks

      Mr. Busta2, the issue of teeth con not help us in identifying the would be radio workers, but logically you got a point there just for pronounciation purpose. I do not know whether the French will agree with you.

    You are good on your track brother, you are fantastic homy. Remember Murle will very soon return to Equatoria or form their own state with Anyuak.

    Check on that brother.

    God bless

      Of course Mr James, that is a very nice strategy to put your people in peace, every peace loving community in South is tired of the hostile community of dinkas. let them wait for their isolation in South and kill themselves like ainimals. Every community is planning to break apart, Murle to their side, Nuer and Shilluk to upper nile Equatorians to their Greater Equatoria. That will be the right time for each community to stand aganist dinkas if they attempt to bring their madness. Their abduction and selling of girls will come to an end. No matter how samll your community is, because peace and unity matters. We have leaders, Igga, Thomas, Isaac and others. Nuer do have Riek and others, Shilluk got their Akol and Amum plus others and Murle also got their leaders, so why are we messing up with din dinkalra.

      Hey Logic Boy, Dinkas language should be broadcast to all radio station in southern Sudan because it is well known in Sudan. if you don’t know how to speak in Dinka language, you are not southern Sudan Citizen.

        Bloody idiot, i told u to talk to my dogs not me, because i don’t like child behavuors of drinking tiolet water. If you can teach my dog until he can speak my own language then you are right to say din or dirty dinkalra language bal bal bla in South Sudan. Do you even have an idea about the future of your dinkas? big question ask yourself before vomitting on this site.

    It would have been better if GOSS had ask France to train south sudanese journalists then contribute money to build a south sudanese radio station, there was no need to bring a French radio station to come and do the work in our country, will France allow Sudanese to go and do work for them in France?> take what France give you but it was not nessecary at all, some of this ministers are so foolish in thinking and reasoning capacity, they need help.

    RFI is well known because they emit in many languages (and local languages). In southern Sudan, there was only one antenna. The studios stay in Paris. (They said: "began TRAMSMITTING in South Soudan") As it is already in Khartoum for ten years.

      Dear readers,

      I can say that, this the good moved to have great relationship with the west countries. White are good theft than Arabic theft because white people can steal 1/4 of your properties but can give you a half of it and provide development in the area but Arabic people take everything and go with it forever and come back again to kill you for the remaining materials. I welcoming the west to come back to South Sudan for the development.

    I think SOuthern Sudanese should begin broadcasting in their own languages instead of a foreign radio broadcaster whose aim is to repartriate profits to France and spy on how to control mineral wealth in SS. Anyway Radio France iinternational has already paid Kiir and others thier millions at the expense of citizens, however they shoul stat broadcasting in all local languages to facilitate development and Kiir should use the millions of dollars to buy radios and distribute them to the people
