	FWB, December 1993
		The Arab and Arabized statists who control the Sudanese government today are attempting to suppress the insurrection of an amalgam of indigenous peoples who are usually referred to as "Christians and animists" of the southern part of the country.
		In fact, most of these peoples are distinct racially, culturally, and linguistically, as well as religiously, from northern Sudanese; they are members of the mostly tall and very-fl-skinned Nilotic race and include the Dinka (with the largest population), Nuer, Nuba, Bari, and about a dozen other nationalities.
		In response, the peoples of the South (this time, largely the Dinka, Nuer and Nuba peoples, whose lands then came under assault) organized the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Army (SPLA) under the leadership of Dr. John Garang, a Dinka colonel with a Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from Iowa State University.
