Hi Caleb,   Thanks for appreciating our humble opinions. I would also like to thank our brothers Mr. Acema and Hon. Okuonzi for initiating this debate. Let others feel free to give their perspectives to the issues being raised in order to enrich our understanding. Such debates are healthy

That is beautiful, do we have other natives, (not derivatively used as seen through the prism of colonialists) who have authored anything about the rest of the communities of West Nile. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 21, 2013, at 2:51 PM, Charles Male cdm...@gmail.com wrote: Caleb, I beleive

Dear all,   One of the finest works on the people of West Nile, particularly the Madi is that of Blackings (2011) entitled Narrating our futures: Customs, rituals and practices of the Ma'di of South Sudan and Uganda. If you open the first page of that book you are not likely to put it down
