    “South Sudan to receive first consignment of AstraZeneca ‘s COVID-19 vaccine”

    Who would dare try bring that *dirty vaccine* into our country and over our people again? *AstraZeneca* is not a damn vaccine lowly informed ‘South Sudanese fools’. Did Any South Sudanese fool got ‘the Ebola virus’ that was tested by the evils in *Guinea, West Africa and which went and spread to ‘Sierra Leone, Liberia, some parts of Nigeria, some parts of Bakina Faso and some of their creeps thought, they would bring their bullshits into our country and over our people again.
    Democratic republic of Congo (D.R.C)—–Eastern Congo has never had a peace since independence. Mr. Patrice Lumumba, had some of with us here in South Sudan.

    He helped kicked out the Belgium criminals out of then Zaire (D.R.C). But the UN, the US, their evil juus (so-called israelis), Indians, Nepalese, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, Rwandans, some of their Bantuses and some of their creeps in between who have attached themselves to our country and over our people—–good luck.
