Garang today

In one of the Youtube videos, Garang indicated that he didn't want to confine himself to fighting for the freedom of the South only. He wanted to identify with the other Non-southerners who were also oppressed so that he gets alliances. He has explained that clearly because that is the point where most of his commanders misunderstood him that he was fighting for the whole Sudan. So he wanted to collaborate with the other marginalized people of the North to make liberation easier.In addition, Garang used that to gain support from the international community since the international could not support a rebel who wants to divide a country. He was a politician and a military man at the same time, hence his words should not be taken literally always.

Thanks Marol Abraham. Before I disagree or agree with you on this quotation, I would like you to view or watch the "You tube" you just posted the link to find the point of talk. If you correctly defined the vision of the SPLM/A, then you will definitely know where Garang was standing between the two long historical viewpoints.

Mr. Mike, Garang was not a unionist but he had a reason as to why he didn't limit himself to liberating only the Southerners. Follow this link(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr_sxUTYkUw) and this link(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr_sxUTYkUw). He is misunderstood by many.
