[edit] Cleanup... won't happen overnight.
I only thought I was going to spell-check for the word academy. Then I took a look at the page, and did everything I could to keep from shrieking. All caps, bad sentence structure, rampant misspelling — a nightmare all around. I'm trying to make it much more readable, and checking facts when I can. But this STILL needs an expert's touch. Don't be shy. We know you're out there. Somewhere. — ArkansasTraveler 19:08, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Various interests tend to oblige and drive writers towards giving information and continue for a research work in the field for definate scopes May be for a long time the History of Lado has been left out or simply ignored to be writen by the many writers of the world . Well if that be the case , we can still induce ourselves to start off at least to open up with information findings and be able to forward out too some criticisms on such information find outs about the Sudanic people of Lado and their contributions in History . Somewhere at all , the Social Entity of the Sudanic people picks its identity and which is much integrated in the history of Egypt . After the fall of the last Pharaonic Reign , the Sudanics moved steadly in their track towards South and came to what is today known as Ethiopia.. They ruled Ethopia for 7 centuries, that’s from 640 AD to 1270 AD . Due to political upheavals, they left and ended up, today, where they are, in Lado in Equatorial central Africa ( ECA ) .

1971 ----------------- Uganda ' s plot for the Extermination came into picture in 1971 of the 1967 Master plan to finalise but failed in carrying it out in January 1971 . The result came out of the over throw of the President of Uganda Mr Apollo Milton Obote ( a Luo trbe of Uganda State . ) . And by the Military Hierachy Major General Idi Amin ( a Sudanic - Kakua by tribe from Lado ) took over the State Affairs of Uganda on 25th January 1971 ) . In the re - orgainsation of the State of Uganda General Idi Amin thought it wise to take back the Sovereignity of Uganda to view the Uganda - Lado relations . This became a big blow defeat for the British . The Sudanic ( Ladoan people ) in Uganda and Lado finally had to be wiped off completly in a war to be declared over Lado and her people
1975 ----------------- London Agreement of 1975 was reached . It was worked out in Lusaka in Zambia between Uganda and Britain , inclulding other commonwealth countries to fight the Sudanic tribes of the State of Lado .
1978 / 9 : ---------- War was declared on Lado and its people ( predominately Sudanic race ) which lasted from 6th October 1978 to April 1979 , whereby 250, 000 soldiers were assembled from all over the World especially from the British Commonwealth Countries and from the Political allies of Britain . In the diplomatc channel it was Denmark , a strong British ally who undertook running the diplomatic machinary to impliment the war and was the one who raised the issue in the United Nations under the cover that the war in Uganda was necessary to over throw the World ' s worst Dictator ever known , General Idi Amin . General Idi Amin is a Kakua - Sudanic tribe in Lado . After the over throw of Idi Amin , the coming true President of Uganda Mr, Yusuf Lule said " the Nile is betwwen us " , confirming the existence of the two States : i.e Lado ( since 1892 ) and Uganda ( since 1894 )
March 1979 ----- The Uganda Ethnic groups ( Bantu , Nilotics / Luo and Nilo Hamatics and of Tanzania and Africans held " Moshi Agreement " in Tanzania , finally to impliment the London Agreement of 1975.
1980 / 1 ----------- From 1979 to 1981 massive massacres of the Sudanics in the Southern Lado ( West Nile ) , in Uganda and in other East African Countries inclulding total destruction of Properties in this part of Lado ( both Private and Public properties ) were carried out in order to occupy Lado land ( cf ; Uganda plans of 1967 and Uganda decree of 12 May 1980 , Art. 5 and Art. 10 ) , This was done with full cooperation of Tanzania . The prospectve still continues under different forms of coverages .
From March 1982 -------- Massive killings continued in South Lado Regions supported by the British Flancoster and the S .A. S ( Special Air Service ) including the Military Personel , the British ( CO ' s and NO ' s ) who were sent to Uganda and later to West Nile ( South Lado ) in their explicit way " Military Language " they say the British Officers are only there in Uganda to train Ugandan Military Officers as they were called on to go there on the request or on the Orders of Mr Milton Obote and Mr Yoweri Museveni inorder to fight against the Gorrillas in the Region ( The West NIle Bank Front / Military Wing ) . But Britain knows , West Nile is South Lado Region of the State Kingdom ( KAARI ) of Lado .. Meanwhile the truth is that : Lado people are Defending their Borders, their Land, their Natural Resources and their People as best they can, which is their Right under the UN Charter of 26 June 1945, Article 1, Article 51 and Article 73, including all the relevant instruments of United Nations and International Law
7th March 1987 ------ The Lado Provisional Government, was formally proclaimed and established on 7 March 1987 in Arua - Aru in Lado ( Africa ),
The British Attitude continues to be well seen within to influence the other Eurpean Nations towards Lado in Africa
1999 -- The latest evidence is in 1999, when the European Governments have in the pretext to destroy African Unity which was giving African people a Leeway to true Independence , Politically, Economically and Socially. They simply concocted the African Union based on the European Union and created something called NEPAD ( New Partnership for African Development ), which officially is supposed to be a Partnership between Africa and Europeans. " This is what one can only call simply a devised New system of Domination on the African People and to control the African Minds " .
The British, who have been sharing the Occupation of Lado with Belgium since 1947, are doing everything in their Power, and are using their Position in International Affairs and in the UN Security Council, to kill the State of Lado, and they are using their former African Colonies, their African Protectorates and their African Territories to do just that .
Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair's African Creation, the " Africa Commission ' has been set in motion with the main objective to finish off and Annihilate the State of Lado and to erase all trace of the Lado People from World Records .This is NO SECREET to a mindful Person . The Government Policy of His New Labour Party for Africa is no different from the former Old Labour Party under the Predecessor led by Rt . Hon. Clement Richard Atlee as the Prime Minister of Britain and during His Reign in 1948 ,The Agofe / King , Atabua of Lado was Assassinated
The Republic of South Africa and the Republic of Nigeria have been chosen to spearhead this Initiative, and in this capacity The Republic of South Africa and The Republic of Nigeria today have been appointed Britain ' s African Commissioner for NEPAD .
By doing so, the Right Honourable Mr. Blair is covering ' British Conspiracy ' under the , Cloak of African Affairs and pretending that the Slaughter of a Nation and an Entire People - the Nation State of Lado and the People of Lado - are merely an ' African Affair ' to be dealt with solely by the African Union ( AU ) .
20001 ------------ Lado sent a Petition to the UN Security Council and requested the UN Secretary General to act under Article 99 of the UN Charter . The Lado Provisional Government is requesting the Political and Diplomatic Support from and through the UN in order to avoid the inevitable War for the Independence of Lado and the Sovereignty of Lado ( Central Africa ) . All that , the People of Lado want and demand is the Right to Freedom and Liberty from the Intolerable Situation of Foreign Occupation of Lado .
Lado has never been Colonised, although Occupied, in contrast to so many other African States. And therefore, No one has any Legal Right to Occupy Lado. The Lado People, demand Independence of Lado and Sovereignty of Lado, and therefore to build up their Nation to Prosper in Peaceful co - existence with their neighbouring Countries, Congo - Zaire, Sudan, Uganda, CAR ( Central African Republic ), Kenya , Ethiopia and with all Nations of the World .
Year 2005 ----- up to ?------------- Incidences in year 2005 against Lendu people and Killings at Ariwara , Yei on Ladoland are of a few to mention yet . A Multination Force consisting of 11,000 troops from ' Nations of the Willing ' were seen making a swift move of insurgence to North Lado ( Central Africa ). Officially they were believed to supervise the ' Nairobi Agreement' of 9 January 2005 which is to bring Peace between the Rebel Forces SPLM ( Sudan People's Liberation Movement ) and the Sudan Government in Khartoum . However the Truth is that : there is no doubt that behind the move is the long - term Objective to Destroy Lado, the Lado State in Central Africa situated in the Great Lakes Region and in the Nile-Congo Watershed Region, which is falsely shown or shall be shown in future on the Map as Southern Sudan and DR Congo. But it is the Northern Territory of Lado ( " Equatoria and Ituri Province of Lado " since 1871 ) . Unfortunately for Lado and Fortunately for Britain , this Operation is being carried out " New Occupation of Lado " Under the UN Banner . " The UN is assisting those who have been Waging a War against the Lado Issue of Independence since 1947 " . It looks then UN Security Council refuses to implement the UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960 and the UN General Assembly Resolution 43/47 of 22 November 1988, and which with a Majority Vote of the UN General Assembly can force the UN Security Council to abide to ", Britain is a Permanent Member of the Security anyway ! -- " Must have a say for Lado then in the course of time " . How long is it taking for Britain to let go Lado for her Freedom ------------- ? We do know that , in order to avoid having to fulfill the UN Resolutions and the Treaty, Britain and the US use the UN Charter, Article 12, for with this article they can block any issue that is not in their own interests from a vote among the membership countries in the UN Security Council itself.
11 March 2005 ------- Provisional Government of Lado asked once again the Agofe / King a Protest Letter to be sent to the UN Security Council, ( dated 11 March 2005 ) , The Security Council must Act . There is a Lack of International Recognition of the State of Lado as an Independent Sovereign State (Lado), and because of the Negligence of the International Community, and of the UN, anyone feels free to Loot and Kill in Lado
By refusing to allow the Independence and Sovereignty of LADO, Belgium and Britain are in Breach of The UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 ( XV ) of 14 December 1960 and the Article 1 and Article 73 of the UN Charter of 26 June 1945 and are the willing to see that the Holocaust of Lado continues under their Rule of Occupation . Now They are trying the best to rename Lado , The Southern Sudan Nation Build in the Years to come. They are hoping that should be done by 2011
GOD SAVE LADO !

The Restoration of The State of Lado
[edit] Headline text
Lado People will Stand Firm to see that the Lado Sovereign Nation State is Restored with its Original Boundaries from 1887-1907, and the State of Lado is Recognized by the U.N. and the World Community For much too long the Oppressors have Occupied, Raped, and Erased the African History, but the Lado People are beginning to find and recognize their Rich Cultural Heritage as the Ancient Kingdom Created on the Remnants of the Old Egypt as early as 700 BC, when Lado was founded under the name "Ladoland" and on 9 May 847 AD when the Modern Lado was Established." The Days of Imperialism and Colonial Power are gone, and a New Age of Freedom and Independence is Emerging. So is therefore the Freedom of Lado The Powers who have held Command of the World for the last four hundred years, are losing their Hold of the World, and the African Nations want to Write their own History.
Success Stories Throughout Lado to Stop Big Business Plans
Success Stories throughout Lado now is such as the Lado initiative to stop Oil Drilling , the UK Indians ' Plans of Sugar Plantations and the Colonial and Corporate Plan to turn Lado into a Giant Pig and GMO Soya Beans Farming Area, which would have resulted in Widespread Pollution, have given the Lado People the Courage and the Determination to fight for what they Believe in.
Though Lado is kept in Stranglehold of Joint Illegal Occupation since 1947 : -
Since 1947 Lado - the "Lado Enclave" or "Equatoria" - which is situated in the Great Lakes Region in the Upper Nile Valley, has been kept in a Stranglehold by the European Powers Britain and Belgium who have joined in an Occupation of Lado. This Joint Illegal Occupation of Lado by Britain and Belgium in 1947 has made the State of Lado into two Cultural Sectors :
(a) the French Speaking Lado to the West ( Belgian ), and
(b) the English Speaking Lado to the East ( British ),
However "This Act of Occupation alone is not consistent with the Treaty of Berlin 26 February 1885, Articles 6, 12, 15, including 34. the British/Belgian Occupation of Lado was not translated into complete Colonial or Protectorate Status by Treaty signed by the Agofe of Lado . Which means the European Colonial Masters can not inherit Lado which therefore still exists as a Political Entity and as a Nation State of Lado. However, it is a Fact that the State of Lado is an Occupied Territory, first by the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) on 26 May 1871, and by Belgium-Britain jointly from 15 May 1947."
By standing firm and demanding its Right to Exist and to be Recognized as a Sovereign Nation State by the International Community, Lado has stood out as a Beacon and an Example for the People all over Africa who will no longer tolerate Suppression and Enslavement in their own Homelands .
After four hundred years of Slavery ( during 1440-1840 ) , Degradation and Poverty, the African People were left in a State of Shock. And it is little wonder that they chose to lull themselves into Apathy in order just to try to Survive , creating the present Unrest in Africa as a sign that the African People are Awakening from their Sleep, and are taking charge of their own destinies .
Though African People are Ridding Themselves of their Ruling Elites......... :
What we are witnessing now is that the African People are ridding themselves of the Ruling Elite, who have Betrayed their People, and who have only been kept in Power with the massive Support of the Old Colonial Powers, mainly Britain, France and Belgium, who have and are contributing heavily with Military Expertise and Weaponry. And not least to the pockets and Foreign Bank Accounts of their African Leaders.
In this way, and by creating a Ruling Class chosen from a favoured group or a Tribe / Clan, who got Positions in Power, the former Slave Traders have managed to Divide and Rule and ensure that the African People are kept Enslaved in their own Homelands long since the lucrative Slave Trade was Abolished.
This Policy has led and leads still to needless Massacres and Bloodbaths and Tragedies as the one which happened in Rwanda, which are often referred to as Ethnic Cleansings . However, this covers over Atrocities and gross Human Rights Violations by Government Security Forces who are used to quell any sign of Resistance or Criticism against the Ruling Elite and through Brutal Force these Ruling Elites have managed to keep and still keep their Populations in a state of constant Fear and Obedient Silence .
To the Extent Ruling Elites have been Rigging and will continue so to rig Election Results .....
Up till now these Elites have even got away with the Rigging of Election Results, which have not only taken place in our neighbouring country Kenya, but also has been the Order of the Day in Ugandan Politics where the President still reigns Supreme with the Backing of Britain and Britain's Scandinavian Allies who will gladly Support Uganda to suit their own Interests .
Uganda has for many years been the ' Darling ' of the Anglo - American Powers and their Scandinavian Allies, who are Running and Controlling the Ugandan Administrative System, and in this way are in a position to use Colonial Uganda as a Stepping Stone to take over and usurp Lado's Natural Resources and Drive out the Inhabitants : The Lado People who have become Refugees and ' Displaced Persons ' in their own Homeland.
This situation has become Intolerable to the People of Lado, and they have started to take matters into their own Hands, and to Stand Up for their Rights and for what is rightfully theirs. Like their Neighbours in Northern Uganda, the Local Lado People have Bravely Protested and Fought the Ugandan Government, who had made a Deal for the Sale of Virgin Forest Land to a Canadian Lumber Company.
The Lado People successfully stopped the Devastation to their Natural Resources which would have Laid Waste valuable woodlands into Arid Desert of Big Business

[edit] Turkish control?
the article seems to imply that Turkey controlled Lado (?), which is wrong Ybgursey 03:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, it isn't. See Turkiyah. In the early 19th century, Egypt was an Ottoman pashalik, and an Egyptian-Ottoman force took over much of what is now Sudan. - BanyanTree 19:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TURKISH CONTROL
Facts about Turkey ( the former Ottoman Empire ) in relation to Lado
LADO to have been Independent in 1923
During Ottoman Rule LADO had been administered by and through Egypt, and this continued as LADO was still the 'Equatoria Province of Egypt' under the Sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire (now Turkey) until 1923 when the Ottoman Empire was dissolved by the Treaty of Lausanne of 24 July 1923.
According to the Lausanne Treaty, the Ottoman Empire, which had now become the Republic of Turkey in 1923, had to relinquish all the Territories under the then Ottoman Empire.
This included Egypt and LADO ( Equatoria Province of Egypt ), and meant that the Occupied Territories were and still remain Political Entities (Nation States ).
That means that LADO should have been an Independent and Sovereign Nation State in 1923.
"As an Area under Egyptian administration LADO ought legally to have followed suit and shed the chains of Foreign Domination, be it either Ottoman or British/European Rule which is exercising its authority control now through some of the given independent countries in Africa ", . Such are the countries like Uganda , Sudan , D R Congo and to some extent Egypt .
