This is to inform you for those who will get killed in the war, no government will take care you’re your children or your family. Please joint Dr.Machar who is better than Kiir in term thinking capacity.
I have confidence in Dr.Machar when he will come as a prime, he change the entire system in South Sudan. For those who are unemployment will be considered in special ways during Dr.Machar’s time. For those who have been killed will be treated in special way and the orphans will go to free school, free hospitals, etc.
