The meeting went successfully, and here are some points have written as notes by Elizabeth during the meeting from Major General James Hoth Mai talk/meeting which took place at Hope Evangelical  Church.

Elizabeth Ajongo, the chairwoman of SPLM Chapter in Nebraska.

Points # 1 was all about the current situation in Sudan in general and Southern Sudan in particular. This includes the current situation or the relationship between SPLM and their partners NCP which is going worse every day. In this area he talked briefly about the oil revenue and the way it has been given/delivered to south. Also there is a lot of cheating around the rates and gains in the big Markets. In other words, the issue of fifty-fifty became a lip talk. "Northern are the one who are getting more than 60%.while South of Sudan is always remaining with 40% or less "said Comrade James Hoth.

Points # 2 was about the security, and how southern Sudan tribes are living in a real peace. As he mentioned there is no tribal fighting  that will be found in Greater Upper Nile, Bahr-Elghazal, Equatoria or else where in southern Sudan in nearly future.

Points #3 was all about people in Diaspora. Actually, Comrade James Hoth asked us many questions about why we are here and what are our real goals for running out from the country and spread the entire world. He also asked as if you could think of going back to help the people, and serve the nation as possible if we are really seeking for the devolvement of the South.

Points # 4 was about the new role model of political talk. He said if you want to be a politician learn how to talk before you get in there because there is a lot of talking going on now a days in the leadership of Southern Sudanese so be ready other wise.,

Points # 5 was about  the finding jobs in Southern Sudan and the long process of getting that jobs, so he made it clear to every body that " you have to be patient to get that job as the same as when getting job in any places around the words."

Points # 6 was all about the jobs rules, and any related jobs cods. People got fired or loss their jobs if they mistaken. Comrade James gave an example of Mamur who been jailed for long time because of rules breaking he had made by himself, so no thing else can be said about it.

Any how, there are many other things that Major James mentioned, but what concerned him the most was the issue of Southern Sudanese Military. Above and beyond, General Major James talked in a variety ways about the necessities of Military reinforcement in Southern Sudan. Comrade James said there are many reasons to empowered Southern Sudan Military. He added the game will not be over, so we need to be well papered. As a military person James Hot said there will be possibilities of going back to war if things get very worse and confused between North and South period.
