    • @BiorArokMD
      @BiorArokMD Před 3 lety +5

      I felt that too. We have all lost this mindset; the most successful societies think beyond their individual lifetimes. We should think on the timescale of our great great-grandchildren, not our lifetime. What kind of world do we want for them? Do we want the same humiliation we've constantly had to endure or a world in which they are treated with dignity and respect? For me, similar to that young lady, legacy is more important than the short-term conveniences of our comfortable western lifestyles. The decisions we make today will reverberate through our entire lineages for generations to come. We should not make them lightly. Choose comfort in the west, condemn your kids to third-class citizenship. Choose the relatively harsh, uncertain life of an African (in Juba, Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, Doula, etc) and your children and their children (x10) will reap the benefits. I truly believe Africa is the future of humanity; it's an inconvenient truth our enemies have worked very hard to suppress, but it's the truth. Bet on Africa, ride out the turbulent times ahead (and there will be plenty) and you will find yourself sitting on prime real estate by the turn of this century (Well, your kids and grandkids will).

    Hello, Wode Maya!
    You are always welcome to South Sudan bro.
    Below is the name that South Sudanese has given to you, {Wade -Juba} meaning son of Juba.
    You are a gallant voice of Africa, this continent needs many people like you to keep going.
    Sending you my love from Malaysia.
    Hi, every African please stop those useless wars, end the western influence and start building our beloved continent.
    Africa does not need Europe to develop, we have everything to make it shine than you think.
    Our ancestors are watching us wherever they are.
    This is the time for Africa to rises.
    No one can deny this, I and you must make it happen.
    Help us oh God...

People should not hold themselves mentally hostage or just rely on one source of media, which is mostly Western or African hating on themselves. Also, over 40% of Uganda’s population are native South Sudanese. That includes the Kakwa tribe which Idi Amin came from. Almost the entire Northern Uganda are native of South Sudan tribes including the Acholi tribe.

The Original word from which the Spanish coined out Aztec was Azutala. “Azu” means the back. and in the context Azu-untala meaning the back of a group of small islands region~ the back of the Onima Karibe ~God's constructed fence, the "Unkwu Chi" as encountered by Africans coming from across the Atlantic. The ancient saw the Karibe Onimas (Caribbean Islands) as the protecting fence to the main land Central America; especially against the Westward Tropical Currents arriving from the African Atlantic.
      The non divisive Linguist, far from being seen as lumping languages, would agree that there is little or no different between the so called Uto-Aztec and the Tanoa Languages(Tanoan) or the Mezhiko-Language. In the presentation of groups of languages, we find that even the Mayan language of the people Nwahuwa who spread into the Ugwukatha (Yucatan) spoke the same language that yielded the dialects spoken by Totona/Tanoa in Mehiko [Mexico] and Gwuatamala [Guatemala]. These languages dialects of Mayans are still been spoken by millions before the advent of the Spaniards in all regions of the Caribbean and Central Americas. #Chukuma

    The first day I stepped my foot in USA as a freshman (Fall 2009), I met one of them in front of my apartment, and he automatically figured out I was new. Later on, other south sudanese joined us and they started bringing blanket, fans, etc for me and my brother so that we could at least get started. Although I didn't really need their help in that regard, I still collected the stuff as a sign of appreciation and I've kept them with me ever since. One of them took us to go activate our phones, to grocery etc. They really were nice, later down the line we became really close, and we helped each other a lot. I even started learning Dinka language up to conjugations. I will never forget South sudanese and I am forever indebted to them.

    Watching from America it's great to see people bettering themselves and their country. Always take pride in your country when they are for the people.

    I'm watching you from the United States, thank you for the clarity about the safety of South Sudan, we receive a lot of negative propaganda about traveling to Africa. Personally I have traveled to Africa several times and advise people to come to the Motherland and find the truth out about each country.

    To be quite honest, I come from Kenya and we haven't heard pleasant things about it. I did not even think there was a place in Sudan that was peaceful... But now I see there is 😊

    As an African American, I am here to say that, I am so proud of you and the the work you are doing. As long as I can remember, the narrative about Africa as a whole has been bad. And I am glad to see someone from the mother land prove how beautiful Africa really is. I thank you and appreciate your work.
