 Important statement to the great people of
Sudan
Looking
critically and realistically into our social and
political arena,
and far from the unrealistic approach that tie
down and detain our ability to free thinking; it
is very obvious that our community is uniquely
characterized by the rich cultural and
geographically di
versity. This diversity is largely witnessed and
it is absolutely undeniable and indisputable
especially in our context in south Sudan and in
the Sudan as large. continue in

The Anuak are a river
people whose villages are scattered along the
banks and rivers of southeastern Sudan and western
Ethiopia. The Anuak of Sudan live in a grassy
region that is flat and virtually treeless. During
the rainy season, this area floods, so that much
of it becomes swampland with various channels of
deep water running through it

War Does Not Pay: It is Time
for Law and Order.
By Obang
Kello
This
is a message to both warlords and peaceful people.
War does not pay. The Anyuak have said many times
even in front of the GoSS President that they do
not want their voice heard through violence. How
much more can this position be made clearer to the
Lou Nuer warlords? In recent article published by
the Independent on line: “The crisis in the Horn
of Africa: Nomads with no future,” (08 September
2006) herdsmen from 60 tribes including two Nuer
clans, the Lou and Jikany Nuer who have fought a
savage for decades gathered in Ethiopia, united by
the battle to preserve their way of life.
According to the article, for the nomadic herdsmen
of east Africa, this was an opportunity for their
voice - so often ignored by their own governments
- to finally be heard. Is not the peaceful way the
Anyuak want to get their land back from nomadic
tribe?
