Why Sudanese Jokes Aren't Funny, Part 1

I ran into a staff member and grantee are walking out of the office laughing...

Me
: (Haha) What's so funny?
Staff: (Laughing) Oh, he is calling me like I am someone else. He is talking like I am an SPLA commander who has a name like mine.
Me: (Laughing a little to show I'm in on the joke too) But you're not really the SPLA commander, right?
Staff: (Bursts out laughing) No, no, of course, no.
(More laughter)
No... He's dead.
Me: Oh.
