First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Reath Puok Nyuon who seems to be deeply concerned with what is going on in Ulang as he calls it. My friend, what is happening right now in Ulang is a wake up call. Our county is going the other way around and this has to be reversed or else these unfortunate events are just beginning to surface in our own watch. Our county flag was widely accepted because the former commissioner had made consultations with officials in Juba, Malakal, the grass root communities in the area and those of us who are in the diaspora. Therefore, it should not be changed as such since none of the opponents would trace anything personal to the founding politicians. But one thing is certain though that once you change public entity, it may make you a political star or it might cause someone his job. In this particular case, the chances of keeping the job are much slimmer than losing it.My opposition as well as my call for our people to stand up against this weak and irresponsible government must not be assumed that it is a closed and completed science nor does one need mathematical formula to point out that there is no development in Ulang. If the readers spare sometime to read between the lines, you will probably understand that it does not only reveal its essential opennes but also it comes with lot of questions which are yet to be settled. But to weigh in, I would highly welcome your reasonable opinion. An action is needed now to save this land. The author will not take you wrong no matter what side of the equation you are on. The other issue worth answering is a distorted response from ulangcounty.com web moderator. My brother has taken wrong judgment by responding to topic that he should have learned before he comments. The change of the flag we are talking about has nothing to do with new UCA website. The question came up after we watched a video which was taken from Ulang three Months ago. I guest, you must be irritated a bit that another website is created and that you are seeking whatever it takes to criticized it. If this was your intention, then I am a scapegoat of your reaction. Whether you are a unifier or a divider is not a one man show, specially when it comes to community affairs where every member is a stakeholder. So it doesn’t make any sense to me for you to confidently assert that somebody is playing a divide and rule game. Hence, I am not a judge to place you in any of the two categories. Any way, you have intellectually phrased your argument fairly.Is it necessary to debate with unidentified web users? I would say no because when I take the challenge to use the discussion board, I am pretty sure that I will find myself encumbered with debates or discussions badly instituted, worse pursued and accomplishing no other purpose than cruel and demeaning attacks by internet predators who constantly prey on whoever uses the web. I don’t really know where this school of thought is taught or how much pride does its students have when they shy away from using their real identity . I will not take even one minute to answer unidentified writer. You better hold off friend.

And thanks
