“Let us first and foremost accept that we are all [South Sudanese] Sudanese. Arabism cannot unite us, Africanism that is oppose to Arabism cannot unite us, Islam cannot unite us, Christianity cannot unite us but Sudanism [South Sudanism] can unite us because it is a common factor. And let us also drop these crazy ideas that we must all be Arabs even God will not accept this. In His infinite wisdom, it is this same God that created the Arabs, the Fur, the Dinka, Nuer and all the other five hundred ethnic groups in the sudan and who this to amend God’s creation; a person who want to do this amendment, I would say is against God ( lo gazi bitya de rafauu le Rabuna I will win this case walai laziim)” By Dr. John Garang de Mabior
