“Malong visits wounded Rumbek Bishop-elect — spokesman”
Mr. Paul Malongdit,
Don’t even waste your time visit those *vermins/parasites*. Let the boys/girls in ‘Upper Nile’ play balls with our country and over our people ever ever again.
We may asked you if it very difficult for us, but that is not going to happen, not to day or even in million years.
