Chollo communities in US, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia:

Dear brothers and sisters,

Collo people in particular and southern Sudanese in general bleed and tear for decades. Individuals or group in Canada as in many other countries around the world  have been doing their utmost best to confront the challenges and to overcome them, but the dimension of our problem is complicated and behind power of individuals or group.

The South Sudan Referendum Commission made it very clear that people from Abyei cannot vote in the upcoming referendum because Abyei, according to the CPA, has a separate referendum. The only person from Abyei that is allowed to vote in South Sudan referendum is somebody who is not any longer a citizen of Abyei and can no longer claim to have any ties with Abyei whatsoever.

When asked about ticket sellers, Mullana Gordon Buay Reath Said

“The South Sudan Referendum Act is very clear when it comes to issues like buying and selling of registration cards. It is a crime for a registered voter to sell a registration card that was intended for voting in the upcoming referendum. It is also a crime to buy a card from somebody with an intention to prevent  the registered voter from voting.

27.11.2010, Press Release.

On Friday November 26/2010, people of Malakal town turn out in big numbers at the river side at 10;00AM, eagerly awaiting the arrival of SPLM-DC heroes who had been just set free from SPLA detentions camps since April elections 2010.

وجدت الديمقراطية في الأساس لتنفيذ سلطة الحكام و الحد من احتمالات تعسفهم و إدارة الصراع بطرق سلمية و لتحقيق هذين الهدفين تم إيجاد مجموعة مبادئ أو أسس السياسية عامة و تم ابتكار مجموعة مؤسسات و آليات و ضمانات و ضوابط لكل مبدأ من مبادئها.

The Alliance of South Sudan Political Parties followed with great concern the events taking place on the preparations for the referendum on self-determination for the people of South Sudan, particularly the voters registration phase, which began on the 15th of this month.
