    May God rest him in his right arm.

    This is indeed saddening that Dr Machar couldn’t rest on attending funerals of our comrades in arm.
    The next he would attend to is the funeral oF Gatluak Gai.

    You will all be missed!!! Tears!!!

    It is good for VP Riek Machar to attend funeral of Hon. William Wuor – Rukhona former Member of Parliament who died in his country working for his people.
    May God rest his soul in eternal peace.

    Riek Machar must take this time in Bentiu to condemn his tribesmen visionless rebellions.

    Security should monitor Riek Machar closely in saying anything in support of the dead militia leader Gatluak Gai or even visiting his family or attending his funeral.

    Riek Machar and his wife Angelina Teny must be arrested if they attend their family militia leader Gatluak Gai funeral.

    Riek Machar and his wife can’t make Gatluak Gai kill innocent Nuer civilians and go away with it? No, they must face national justice or Marko Chuol’s justice system; whichever comes first.

    However, Riek Machar must take this time in Bentiu to condemn his tribesmen visionless rebellions and dissociate himself and his family from Gatluak Gai’s militia group.

    Security should monitor Riek Machar closely in saying anything in support of the dead militia leader Gatluak Gai or even visiting his family or attending his funeral.

    Riek Machar and his wife Angelina Teny must be arrested if they attend their family militia leader Gatluak Gai funeral.

    Riek Machar and his wife can’t make Gatluak Gai and his militias killed innocent Nuer civilians and SPLA soldiers and go away with it? No, they must face national justice or Marko Chuol’s justice system; whichever comes first.
