During his 40-year career photojournalist Tom Stoddart witnessed and documented the fall of the Berlin Wall, the election of Nelson Mandela, wars in Lebanon, the former Yugoslavia and Iraq and the HIV/AIDS catastrophe in Africa.

Be honest, most of southerners who killed during the war between north-south were killed because of the war between Dinka-Nuer, Dr. Garang & Kerubino kuanyin Bol killed may Nuer people with no mercy, Machar & Paulino Matip killed many Dinka with no mercy!
Arab/Jalab killed very few rebels (if any)!!!

  Jalaby, who end up being the loser today; despite all the money you use against Southerners to kill themselves during the struggle? Who broke away with the most valuable part of entire Sudan today? Look smart people deploy plans that always end up in success not in a failure as you are.

  you need to justify the truth to the world, but don’t defend what you are not sure of. arabs killed many innocent Africans with the aims eliminating their races. the hire mindless African with money and food to kill their fellow men. but God/Allah who created the African was able to protect & strengthen them to resist the Arabs.

  A creditable source told me that you’re not a fake arab, but a slaved-heart Southerner who then used to washed Bashier’s dirty ass for few pound a day to get by. Is it right? If so, then, you’re a piece of nothing to us, but shit!

  Isn’t it what you folks including Beshir call us, the South Sudanese, Nuba and the For, "insects?" To you, we are worthless people who do not deserve to live. We have to be destroyed and sprayed with any arsenal. Well, there are witnesses who have documented it and now you are denying, imputing our death to tribalism. Who used the method divide and rule?

Folks,
I’m telling you the truth and I never lied to you,yes,the war between the two big ethnic groups in the south (Dinka-Nuer) had killed millions of southerners!
The conflict between them started from day 1 when battalion 105 (was mainly Dinka) rebelled from Bor city in 1983 and joined already rebelled battalion 104 (was mainly Nuer) rebelled from Akobo city

  the conflict between them started as early as May 1983 when they fell in deep dispute about who should lead the rebellion and liberates the south from Arab/Jalaba?!
  There were mainly 3 camps for the rebellion:Bilpam under Gordon Kaong Chol (Nuer), Bukteng under Samuel Gai Tut (Nuer) and Akuot Atem (Nuer), and then Adura Camp under John Garang de Mabior (Dinka)!

    At the beginning they formed one unified team and it was as follow:
    1. Akuot Atem - Chairman
    2. Samuel Gai Tut - Minister of Defense
    3. Joseph Oduho - Foreign Affairs
    4. Martin Majier - Legal Affairs and Justice, and
    5. John Garang - Chief of Staff
    Dinka were never satisfied with that cabinet and didn’t allow Nuer to lead and the war started from there!

      Akuot Atem and his group stated clearly in the first movement manifesto to Ethiopian authorities (Mengistu Haile Mariam) that:the Movement was a socialist oriented Movement fighting for the total liberation of the Southern Sudan
      Ethiopian authorities immediately rejected their first Manifesto and said:
      "the Socialist Ethiopia would never favor the breakup

        of a sisterly state as stipulated in the African Unity Charter"
        The most elderly Joseph Oduho made special appeal to Colonel John Garang to write a position paper that would be acceptable to the Ethiopian authorities. Colonel Garang accepted and wrote the paper that later became the SPLM Manifesto favoring Sudan unity over liberating the south!

        Well, where are those Nuer guys who established the rebellion even before John Garang like:William Nyuon Bany, Samuel Gai Tut, Abdalla Chol, etc!
        Who killed them with no mercy?!!!
        Well, the game does not over yet, for now, Dinka just won the battle but the war not yet over!!!

      Jalaby, you’re an idiot! You don’t even know the people you reference in your own comments above. If you say Dinka were never satisfy; where were AKuot Atem from that you mention as chairman? Did anybody told you Akuot Atem were Nuer or you assume him to be? Out of five ranking SPLM members you mention; you still had no idea that the majority of them were Dinka. How sad!

Who is Jalaby?!
Many of you guys are wondering, who is this man called himself Jalaby? is he a southerner but disguises his identity under Arab cloth (Jalabia) or he is true northerner (Arab/Jalaba)?! or may be mixed (half Shimaly & half Jonobey -50/50)?!
Well, I’ll leave that for your speculation but there is one fact that I would like you to know that

  I lived part of my life in the south, and you will always find me commenting in both ways:North & South!
  I disclosed my identity in Sudan.net forum before when I was so active in that forum between 2007-2009, you will find my full story over there if you want, as far as I remember (and if not mistaken) Mr. Kim Deng was with us in that forum during that time I believe!

    Jalaby, you’re not that smart to tell us that you’re a South Sudanese. South Sudanese are not that stupid to not know their leaders. Just because you’re one of the loudest mouth on the site here doesn’t mean you’re anybody! Just calmed down and relax.

    I see no interest in knowing who Jallaby is just as it matters not if people ought to know me or not. I worked in Khartoum for more than a year 2006-2007. Anybody can be stubborn in media forum but it depends on whether you want it or what you are after. And Jalaby knows that if our identities were displayed then he’d be more cautious in trying to lecture us on issues that we know so well.
