Machar condemns attack on Duk Padiet in Jonglei State
September 25, 2009 (JUBA) — The Vice President of Southern Sudan government condemned the attack on Duk Padiet in Jonglei state last Sunday by armed groups that has left over 160 people dead and more than 80 wounded according to the latest figure released by authorities in Juba on Friday.
He said the solution is for the government to disarm the civil population, not only in Jonglei state, but also throughout the whole of Southern Sudan and strengthen the law enforcement agencies instead of the civilians themselves taking the law into their own hands.
Southern Sudan is faced by inter and intra-tribal armed conflicts involving almost all the ten states in the region.
The upsurge of such violence worries officials in the region that it may fail the conduct of both the upcoming general elections in 2010 and the referendum in 2011.
When asked why these incidences of inter and intra-tribal fighting have been going on for years without the government taking the action to fully disarm them, Machar said the government had tried before but this could be the year for a comprehensive action.

Dr. Machar, I think it’s the right time to take action don’t you think? more have been said about insecurity in south Sudan. if your GoSS has the capacity to stop it then do it. because we in diaspora are sick and tired of this rampant killing in south sudan..

Even after delaying to condemn this heinous and cowardly act perpetrated by agents of Islamic government he failed to point hand to those who are behind it. He is blaming the proliferation of arms while abundant evidence point to well organized assault on innocent civilians and the very symbol of government that he represents.
Riek Machar is not genuine about this. He is trying to make light of what happened. This is is not the way a vice president should carry himself. No wonder people of South have never trusted him and will never sleep sound as long as he continues to hold deep tribal affiliation. He is trying to call those who did this “civilians” while even a village idiot would tell you that this senseless assault was carried out by the remnants of his failed treasonous split from righteous Movement.
This incident will determine the future of this country. Do we want civilians to continue following laws of the land or retaliate in kind for this cowardly act. Juba has a duty to do.

What would you expect when you have a dysfunctional government and a marginalized ethnic group which has been slaughtered for decades by the dominant tyrannical Southern government. Revenge will fester some how.
These feelings are now beyond condemnation, though I wholeheartedly disapprove with their tactics, the Dinka should’ve seen this coming when Garang was butchering them and now the SPLM stealing their oil.

Mr Vp Riek Machar,
its too late because your citizens have been killed by Nuer lou Militia many times.
The disarmement is the must to Jonglei states because the state comprise of many food lovers and trailors who have no vision of Southern Sudan especially Lou Nuer- the dumeset in the world set.
Please Machar, if you are our leaders why do you fear to mention the name of the attackers and seem you are beating about the bush.
Start disarming Lou nuer and their militia by force.
This time almost reach absolute zero to tribal war.
The fools must think twice because the victims heroes are not in Khartoum, they are leading the moment/spla. If some one doubt then count them.
Mr Machar bring Mabil C, Riek Gai, Taganyang to justice by any means because they are trailors responsible for these frequence attack of Civilians in Jonglei.
If not then live Dinka Bor to die in peace until they will revenge at their will.
Thanks

The man is back from long way to see the activities
Your right Mr Riek, I think that the nuer people where trying to discipline those jungle giraffes, it is not an attack I disagree with those who describe the incidence as attack. I only praise nuer for disciplining those people until they have surrendered that madness. Keep up Mr Riek, Keep up bravo nuer. Teaching unforgettable lesion to the fool is the only way of brining him/her to the normal life. But for the next schedule I suggest that the nuer should do it without killing the few junglese, killing has nothing to do with peace. The gene of dinkas associated with killing should be left to them alone. Lets only have police from nuer or Equatorian into the affected counties but the junglese who are nothing but food and money lover. Am sorry that some lives where lost I hope this will never happen again.

This brutality attack which Lou-Nuer have done to Dinka Ethnic Community of Duk Padiet is inevitable. In fact, it is very imperative to pinpoint one tribe all the time for the murder. I think this is not the first time for Lou-Nuer Ethnic Community of Jonglei State to stratify war declaration within Jonglei State. Lou-Nuer did it on 11/13/1992 when they waged the war in Poktap County of Dinka Nyarweng and all the way to Malek County of Paleek clan, Wernyiol County of Adhiok clan, Wagulei County of Awulieen clan and Gak village of Adol clan as well as Baidit of Angakuei clan and so forth. This incident that was carried by Lou-Nuer Ethnic Community lost the innocent life of 5000 people in Bor area. As we are human being and the people Southern Sudan, we should understand the value and the heritage of one another instead of practicing sarcastic things that are demoting other community from progressing. I thought that Lou-Nuer Ethnic Community of Jonglei State should refrain from playing a ” Roly-poly” to the civil population in Southern Sudan.
How many times Lou-Nuer have been accused of doing this crisises all the times? Lou-Nuer Ethnic Community have been accused of carrying an attack on Nuer Jikany last couple months ago. On August 18,2009, Lou-Nuer Community was blamed of killing 23 people in Wernyiol County. On the same month of August 23,2009, Lou-Nuer did the same thing again in which they killed 43 people in Wernyiol County. Lastly, they did it again to Dinka Nyarweng of Duk Padiet. Now, what will be the really solution to solve this problem by the way? How do Lou-Nuer Community felt when they are victimized about this massacre happening in Duk Padiet County of Dinka Nyarweng?
Every time, Lou-Nuer Community are accused of doing the raid, but I have never heard in my life that Dinka Bor went to Lou-Nuer Community for reprisals of their lifeless people who were been killed. According to me, it show that Dinka Bor have forgiven the past events. Now, the good thing is because that, the blame go to Lou-Nuer Community rather then going or generalizing the whole Nuer Communities in the other marginalized areas. The blame is for Lou-Nuer. Whoever generalized the whole Nuer Communities, he is completely wrong and wrong.
For your information, I’m not from Dinka Bor Community, but I’m from Dinka by Nationality. When two people fight, they should not be judged right at the same time. One might be wrong and the other one might be innocent or if both are right, then the one who assaulted the other one first must be guilty and be blamed for making an assault. Lou-Nuer Community are the indigenous people of Southern Sudan, but if they are wrong in some instance of ways, then they should be proved guilty no matter of how brave and valor they are. Mistakes have no boundaries in any human genes.
Only thing that I know is blood which bound all human being and animals. Love, respect, integrity, enthusiasm and diversity of one culture are they norm prestige in which all the world communities need for the betterment of their communities. Lou-Nuer Community should adapt those things as a rule.

Thank you Vice-President Dr Riek Machar Machar for your stand to come up and condemn the attack on Duk Padiet in Jonglei state last Sunday. Why did you wait a week to condemn this attack. This comes a little late after when more damage has been done. This incident happened a week ago and it takes you a week to respond. This is very shameful and poor leadership. This is the time when our leadership is tested beyond the tribal border lines. I think you need to come clean out of this and speak tirelessly. If you don’t take charge, then this kind of abuse and killings will continue between the two tribes. We need to be talking to both parties because I am very sure the relatives of the victims on the other side are not going to rest. There is going to be a revenge from the other side.
My brothers and sisters from Duk. I know how painful it is to lose a beloved one and to be displaced from your own home. This to me is unacceptable and the GOSS needs to know this. There need to be a tough team that can be send to mediate with the two parties and this is a responsibility to the GOSS.
THIS SHAME AND WE NEED TO SEE IT STOP. PLEASE PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH SUDAN. WE ALL NEED TO SEE THAT REFERENDUM.
