Desejoover 10 years agoCute tale..but I question the names and even the need for names in this. The Dinka live in Southern Sudan, and not in the greatest of situations either. Ali Babar brings visions to mind of Babar the elephant in the tales of the Arabian nights.

erectus123over 10 years agoAuthorwhen you start sniping I remember why I didn't miss you, can you make an effort to be civil and let us enjoy the present and all be kind to each other, as in "Why can't we all be friends".....(the poor s.o.b.who said that way back just died recently) It would seem you need friends on this site!
Ashesh9over 10 years agoHis accomplice Mir Bakri destroyed a Ram Temple to build the "Babri Masjid " in Ayodhya the legendary Birthplace of Lord Ram : the demolition of the Babri Masjid by Hindu Nationalists in 1991 caused tremendous Political upheavals , rioting & communal divide in India much worse than the Racial divide over Trayvor-Zimmermann or Rodney King in USA !!!
