My sister Dr. Ann Itto may be preparing to pave way for Pagan to
resume his seat. The fight for seat within this monstrous party has
claimed thousands of lives in South Sudan. Cry the beloved country!

For few U$ and party seat Pagan Amum may betray and kill his own
parents. Obviously Garang’s orphans lack values and ethics. Lol
