    Listen hard lowly informed South Sudanese fools. Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu piece of trashes’ went and dance *in our Jerusalem and claimed to be Jewish*.

    There was an evil Indian piece of trash, Mr. Priti Patel. Who is currently working for her devil infested island of England. Her parents came and be kicked out of Uganda by Mr. Idda Amin Dada, after he went and fought in Korea as a mercenary. She (Ms. Priti Patel was brought to our country *in 2015, came lectured our people, about women rights*. *There was another Indian piece of trash, former South Carolina’s governor*, She was brought to our country, came and lectured our people that *they are loaded*. There you go!! There was another Indian piece of trash, Yasmin Sooka and South African piece of trash.

    Let any lowly South Sudanese piece brings these vermins/parasites into our country and over our people ever ever and that South Sudanese piece of trash would be as good as dead.

    Reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.

    Let the vermins/parasites bring it on again, if they can damned can
