Seven people killed in fresh Jonglei ‘revenge attack’
October 18, 2009 (BOR) — Seven people are killed and 12 others injured in a Friday retaliatory raid on Uror County of Lou Nuer by neighboring Duk Dinka youths, Jonglei officials say.
Youths from Uror, a Lou Nuer County were blamed for September 22, 2009 assault on Duk Padiet where some 160 people died on both sides according to officials figures. Since then, the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) dispatched about 700 (SPLA) troops to maintain order between the two foes. However, youth from Duk surprised the government with Friday’s raid.
“Seven people are killed, 12 others wounded and a number of cattle stolen,” Deputy Gov. Hussein Mar said, confirming Friday’s attack in Rolker.
“This is a revenge attack from Duk Padiet youths,” he said when asked to explain who carried out the raid, adding: “The SPLA soldiers intervened and were able to arrest two raiders [from Duk].”
Duk County Commissioner Mayen Ngor Atem could not be reached for comment by press time. However, State government officials say Mr. Mayen, who is based in Poktap — Duk County current headquarters, is due to travel to Duk Padiet on Monday as part of government efforts to contain the situation.
When asked what step the state government could take to avoid a fresh revenge, Mr. Mar asserts that Uror Commissioner and local chiefs have pledged to restrain their armed youth.
Speaking at a youth meeting at Freedom Hotel in Bor Town on Saturday, Gov. Kuol Manyang condemned the attack. He further said the state government could not allow lawlessness, affirming that perpetrators will be brought to book once apprehended.
Tribal conflicts surged this year in Jonglei state and more than 1,000 people died since January, 2009. Efforts by Jonglei State and GoSS to quell tension are challenged by arms rampant at the hands of civilians. Past efforts to disarm civilians by force caused deaths and thus GoSS vowed to disarm civilians by another military campaign, but the exercise is yet to commence.

I know you pain people of Dud Padiet, but eye for an eyr will make Southern Sudan blind. Good job SPLA for intervening. That is what we expected off you. Nuer Lou and Duk Padiet need to sit down and talk. After all you all are from Jonglei State. No matter what you do, other Southern Sudanese see as people who want to jeopardizes the chance for freedom. Remember, the first set in struggle in 1991 came from you guys. Now, don’t create more troubles. I know the tribal ware fare is in other states, but not comparable to jonglei. Stop hatred. No tribel will ever win this warfare. Remember, when Northern regimes sought war as way to get our land, they failed miserably. Any violence doesn’t lead to any victory. I urge to practice peace

What happened to the old saying “turn the other cheek” or “love your neighbor” oh yes that’s right, these words do not resonate with Dinka nor the Dinka dominated SPLM.

South Sudanese need to avoid tribalistic ideology and stop ejecting violence. This is a major weakness that will undermine and plague our security to the point of possible civil war in light of the referendum. Furthermore, it is a factor that the west and the northerners will use as a scapegoat for south sudanese instability as they continue to enhance their resource wealth to the loss of the local people who should be benefiting most from their land. Like Martin Luther King said, “we either learn to live like brothers and sisters, or we all die like fools”.

Can you imagine this game. How come this attack happened from people who are under protection of 700 (SPLM) troops? Okay if those Duk-Paddied got the power to revenge than 700 troops who are being pay to protect them should be move where they can protect the whole south instead creating more problems. In my opinion,the governor call Kual Manyang should be change with someone else. Even from his own family is okay because their system of work. The new person may not like to see blood every month.

This could have been avoided if the GOSS had expedited its investigation in last month’s barbaric attack on the symbol of government and innocent civilians. The government is dragging its feet instead of acting fast to bring the Nuer militia leader to justice. Until the GOSS start acting like a government, there is likely to be anarchy in South.
To Nuer militia who might be considering a retaliatory attack, the youth of Duk will now be ready to confront any evil-minded and confused militia coming to take revenge.

Who is the reporter of this article?.
Mr Deputy Mar Nyuot, your report is not true.
There is no retaliation that Duk-Padiet carried aganist Lou Nuer.
You are tribalist in nature. Mr Mar you always talked with Chebetek Mabil- the militia leaders who carried the attack on Duk- Padiet in Sebtember.
Now you want to confused Jonglei State for your nonsenses. But if that is true then its because people are adapt to others aggression.
My advise to All Dinka( Bor, Twic,and Duk), you must be ready for fight because the deputy governor is fueling the tribal fight. Anyway, that is not new in Jonglei.
Thanks

’Dear all,
“The fighting that took place yesterday night has taken a lot of lives. Civilian of Duke went and ambushed the Uror villages while the army were after them. After they attacked the villages, they return while the army were advancing from Duke toward the Uror. When the Uror villagers ran after their cattle, they met with the SPLA forces, and then they were told that we are coming to disarm you. According to the report, the civilian said we are running after our cattle that were just taken by the Dukean. The forces resisted to prevent the civilian of Uror to return their cattle back. After some minutes discussion with the army officers while the army are in the line some zero killos meter distance, the civilian clashes with the SPLA army. Then fighting took place between the army and the civilian. The army were defeated back to the distance by the civilian of Uror. Heavy casualities were about to be reported. The civilian took ten cars (small) pick up trucks and many heavy guns on the trucks.
According to the report, the SPLA army based in those areas of Uror were so disappointed given to the incident. Because they supposed to protect the civilian and not to sided up with the one side. It has been confirmed that there is a great misunderstanding between the forces. Civilian on the other side were reported to put laws in their hands, and these might be the destructive move ever. The GoSS should intervene as soon or Jonglei will be the worse place within few days”.

Hey everybody, the condition in Sudan will never be solved through retaliation whether bervually or through physical fighting. When will some of us start to respond constructively to articles. Whether we are educated or not, Iam pretty sure some of us will never learn at all. Unfortunately, those who face the consequences are the innocent people who have done nothning wrong.They deserve to live in peace, they need our support but not “an ignation of a war”. It is the same hatred that we are showing here through our comments that causes fighting in our villages, can we all stop sensless comments and learn to be “equal than different.
