• South Sudan: The Issue of Changing Names Should Be Taken Seriously

    The Citizen (Juba), 1 May 2012

    During the Turco Egyptian occupation of South Sudan (1821-1885) which was forcibly annexed to the province of the Ottoman dominion centred in Cairo the officials sent to the South had not only committed havoc on the people by catching and selling them as slaves in markets of Ad Daien, El Obeid, Kosti, Khartoum, and Omdurman but also had renamed the places they had landed on.

    You seem nothing more than an idiot to me. Is it only the arabs who gave you names? Then go ahead and change non arabic and non-indigenous people's names, too.How many million names you think you should change in South Sudan? By the way, the name Sudan is also Arabic. Start by changing that one last word to the Allafrica: Is this the type of nonsense you usually publish? PITY!
