The SPLM/SPLA as a socio-political body does not exist in isolation. It is bound to affect and be affected by external and internal surrounding conditions in which it exists and operates. We have not been developing in isolated mountain caves to protect us from winds, rainstorms and external torments, nor have we been in exile to avoid the effects of internal changes in our country. The SPLM/SPLA is a living political organism in the real meaning of that word, and so it should not be a surprise or shock to any one that we have been adversely affected by recent international and internal changes, which seriously challenged our very existence as a Movement and as a people. But we have persevered and we have survived, and not only have we survived, we shall win! (it) |
