August 4, 2009 (JUBA) — The Vice-President of Southern Sudan government (GOSS) today condemned tribal fighting and violence in semi-autonomous region saying it would not tolerate irresponsible killing of civilians.

Dr. Riek Machar was reacting to the killing of 173 civilians and 12 SPLA members in Akobo, from Lou Nuer groups on Sudan and to the murder of more than one hundred people by Ugandan rebels, LRA last week, the statement reported.

“The government of Southern Sudan will not tolerate this careless act that claimed innocence lives of 173 women and children in Akoba County while more innocent people were also killed by foreign culprits in Western Equatoria. The government will do everything in its capacity to apprehend these criminals,” said GOSS Vive President.

Machar further said that the killing in Akobo County is “another evident that justifies the government policy to carry out the most awaited disarmaments of civilian with illegal arms.”

He called upon the UN to air drop humanitarian assistance to affected population in Jonglei because Moreng Village is not accessible during the rainy season either by land or by river.

Yesterday UN Secretary General, Bqan Ki-Moon, condemned the tribal raid and said he had directed the UNMIS to “extend all possible assistance to those affected by this heinous act and work with local authorities to restore calm.”

    What a total hypocrite, this man is so silly and stupid, typical trash SPLM.Old ghosts are coming back to haunt you Machar. Do you remember when the savage SPLA units were involved in the massacre of over 500 Ethiopian civilians in the lower Omo valley of south-west Ethiopia in 1990.

    Or in 1996 when the United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights in Sudan, documented an incident SPLA forces had attacked two villages in Ganyiel region in southern Sudan. SPLA gunmen killed 210 villagers, of whom 30 were men, 53 were women and 127 were children.

    Why wasn’t there killings not tolerated back then. This is because this communist,Marxist atheist movement has no care about the cost of people’s live to achieve its disgusting and evil ideology.

    I’m feel so sorry for the poor Nuer people who suffered at the hand of the SPLA and I urge the great General Paulino Matip to leave this disgusting trashy movement and return to defend our people again.

    Sir, actions speak louder than words. As citizens of South Sudan, we expect our government to protect us. We therefore demand the disarmement of civiliansin in all states of South Sudan. In addition,the police force must undergo well training, and must also be paid well in order to keep law and order. We also demand that the LRA be forcefully removed from our territory, for our people to enjoy the freedom they fought for many years.

    Indeed action are better than words, it is time for the GOSS, with its right wing Army SPLA, To declare war and hunt and bring these criminals to justice, LRA and inside based militia groups, supported by people who want to disturb the peace, should be pursued and brought to justice and their source be eliminated, people can not talk about peace, peace all the time, certain measures need to be exercised to bring the “peace” in the region.
    Long live SPLM/SPLA

    That is a good step from SPLM/GOSS leaders to take action or disarment civilians,however,we must becarefull with the step we take so that there is no oneside victim. To investiigate the criminals who carried on the attack, first we have to go back and find out those who attack Mural tribe first because this seem like a revenge from Mural tribe who lost more than 400 people last months. If it whole disarmemnt in south,we must start at Bor, Lou Nure and then Mural. To other tribes who their cases has been ignored by SPM/GOSS now you know the way to rise your problems to them. I condemn the the attack that killed innocence citizens.

    You are always irrelevant, which makes you a punk. I saw matip on the Sudanese Television in Khartoum in 2005 while he was been interviewed on the death of Late Dr. Garang. Now you are claiming that he is been fighting in trenches somewhere in the South, that claim is irrelevant. The conflict originated from confused fools like Matip and yourself. You people are reactionaries who will never settle for even for billions right causes. It is so ironic because your statements fit only to attribute to the like of matip and yourself.

    Great step Dr. Machar, being silence will not help nor solving problems. However, as you say no tolerant to this massive attack or futher killing and violence in semi-autonomous region, SPLM/GOSS need to firmly stick to what they say and implement their duties. Otherwise the disarmament of the aggressor tribes or communities must be done as mention to stop them acts as instigators of the Southern Sudan, so wake up GOSS and open your eyes wider to help ethnic communities of Southern Sudan stay in harmony.

    Good lack and be bless.

    Oshay,
    it mean you don,t know the history of the SPLM/A and the NIF/NCP when you said Matip was not in Khartoum,he was in the dep trenches in the south.

    Matip Nhial defected immediately after one year in 1984 back to Khartoum if you are not aware of this,but these are things of the past,lets mend the broken ribs and not open the old wounds.

    General Matip is now fully committed to the course of unity of the people of south Sudan.

    why do you waste your time commeting on things you have no clue about it.
    i would want to advice my fellow regular writers on this website to leave Oshay alone to beat his own bush

    When did you become active to condemn crime doer? when Lou Nuer killing dozen from Murle, why you don’t react like now, what is different?

    So if you wake up from your bed, please try to solve the case without other revenge that will be good enough and we will even happy to give you creditability for your work.Also it remind us that you are not tribe minded but you were been sleeping, because what we know you are tribe minded as we know before when you killed dozen in Bor 1991 we still remember that on your back.

    Waw, Big hypocrosy,

    Big and foolish Riek (desaster) you are total desaster in this country, and I know that South Sudan will live in peace after you.

    How can you pretend to be peace maker, whilst you are the very person who taught hostility and tribal hatred in South. you are intolerant of the ongoing hostility, and that was the same way that we were feeling about you when you cause trouble for South Sudanese.

    However, feel how horrible it is when people turn against themselves.
    You incited them to fight among themselves, now you should go and tell them that (both) you and them (Riek _Murle & Nuer)are wrong and need correction and not to live in crazy manners any more since they are leading you no where but hell.

    YES,THUMB UP TO DR.RIEK MACHAR’S NON-TOLERANCE. THIS WAS THE MAIN WORD I FOUND TO MAKE HEADLINES FROM SOUTH SUDAN VICE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH. I WAS DELIGHTED BY DR.MACHAR’S SPEECH,HE DID DECLARED A TOTAL NON-COLLABORATION WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DESTROYED INNOCENT LIVES FOR MATERIAL GAIN.

    WE’RE ONE NATION BONDED BY ONE BLOOD AND ONE HOPE FOR FREEDOM,THEREFORE WE SHOULD DO THINGS RIGHT AND NOT TO INFRINGE THE NOMS.
    MY FELLOW SOUTHERNERS,INFURIATING OUR LEADERS WOULD NEVER DO AS ANY GOOD .INSTEAD WE SHOULD SALUTE THEM FOR BRINGING US THIS FAR .
    ONCE AGAIN,THANK YOU DR . MACHAR FOR YOUR NON-TOLERANT TO THE ILLEGAL KILLING OF OUR CITIZENS.

    Now, you see, this is because of the stupid peace agreement that you signed from the beginning with dictatorship regimes. As you see and imagine, GOSS now is trying to deal with its ignorance problems, killing in the South is now more than the war time, so, what was the main reason of such agreements with “Cheaters” and “Killers” that the head of their State is stamped by the International Criminal Court. Shame on you those who are calling for new Sudan, I don’t see no differences between you and the other stupid Government in the North, you both are going no where, the history is our witness when you all stiff up with these poor people $$ and then what?
    Go to hell all of you and leave Sudan alone please.
    Thank you
    Ahmed

    to suoth sudan official it is true that what have been said by Gatmachar regarding the killing of 173 in Akobo town,why GOSS did not take action against those who always come to kill inocent people childern& women,better for GOSS to deploy the army in Akobo/Waat&URROR COUNTY to protect the life of civilian or to disarm the murle gun so that they could not come to lose the life of inocent people if not GOSS can not tolerate because Lou are the part of GOSS.
