    “Ex-minister of education and opposition leader dies in Juba – family”

    Did you low life want to say Mr. Aduok Nyabe? Mr. Aduok Nyabe lost his leg in battle against our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan like the Jaangs/Mounyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenges during genuine war. But the low life is a piece of trash. The owners have taken back their country.

    Mr. Lam Akol, Aduok Nyabe, Uyai Deng Ajak and Mr.Pagan Amuom, who allegedly taken to *US of A, to *Colorado* to go and be ‘brain-washed by his secret societies, when he saw his rubbish was not going anywhere, then he went and screamed at the ‘outside the UN building that South Sudan should be taken over by the UN.

    ‘Follow the Jaangs/Mounyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenges’ they are way too well ahead of these miscreants and their masters. Upper Nile is the Jaangs/Mounyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenges’ country. Simple and plains.

    The only “low life” here is you , why leave a negative comment on a person that has passed away. You need to get yourself in check before you make such a disrespectful comment like that. Go make a separate article on Mr. Aduok Nyabe since you care about him so much .
