SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
December 20, 2011 (JUBA) — A Sudan People’s Liberation Army unit has besieged rebel leader George Athor and his forces in Central Equatoria’s Morobo county area, which borders the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Phillip Aguer, the army spokesman said today.
The renegade rebel leader recently threatened recently to wage more attacks in South Sudan, including his forces’ intention to capture Bor, capital of Jonglei state. The move came after the failure of secret talks with Juba held in Nairobi last November.

Athor is a militray guy so we SPLM/A need to be careful because he might attack Juba or Mading Bor with the reserve forces around. And also we need to careful because there might be enemies within who are directing them in the bush.We need to get this blind and dull person and be brought to book for justice. Thanks

The first question is how did Athor reach Morobo County without even being traced?There is also another issue which has come up that Upper Nile wants to unite to take power from those of Bhar El gazal & Equatoria.What a co incident.This should be investigated properly.

This is a very dangerous move, why peoples are congratulating SPLA and the guy isn’t yet captured?
Athor might have coordination’s with neighboring East Africa countries to receive his military aids there, in the border and attack Juba or block Uganda –kaya road. Mark my words

SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
What’s your point here Mapuor? You guys desperately fear unity of Upper Nile and that’s why you keep instigating insecurity in Upper Nile? Well bro, Upper Nile will eventually surely come to its senses and take a lead as usual. Don’t be blinded by this short-period of your luck. Fanicking and running around gossiping will not prevent such unity in Upper Nile.
Daniel Buolmawei
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
We will unite once Reik is gone. The real obstacle to Upper Nile’s unity is Reik Machar. We urge our brothers and sisters from Nuer community to quit supporting Reik Machar and throw him away for the sake of Upper Nile peace and unity. Once they do that and uplift a new capable Nuer leader, we will quickly rally around him. Nuer comminity is a people of courage and can earn our——
Daniel Buolmawei
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
support if they accept challenges of throwing away Reik. I personally do not hate Reik Machar. He’s a good human being, humbled and handsome, but he has a weak political mind that ill-hearted politicians can exploit easily. The terrible massacre he made in the past wasn’t his intention as he has advocated it now, but was pushed into it by others include Dr. Lam Akol. Beacuse of his weak mind,

@ Alfred they have to be given some Morals man to continue with the operation and get hold of Athor or even Kill him after all we have held so many criminals including Tanginya from Murle and yet it is of no help to the entire south better be Kill to be a lesson to others who are planning to defect.

Alfred,
“There is a saying that he who laughs last laugh louder.” Given the contradictory language gave by rebels yesterday about Kiir’s attempt to assassinate there leader, this second report just act as an affirmation. Afterall no one can give away his secret of Athor’s besiege without a genuine stand secured.We want him dead or alive, he killed 200 people in Fangak.
Daniel Buolmawei
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
I am fearing that letting him become president of the Republic of South Sudan may implicate us as sponsors of another genocide in the making. It may not be Bor this time, but we don’t want another community to fall victims like Bor in the Past. The idea that if Buor were killed then Dr. Garang would politically be weakened and given up power was appalling. My dear Nuer community—–
Maj.Amoch Nyagat.
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
How to George Athoor trekked from his headquaters in Piggi county passing through from Northern Jonglei all way through upto Southern border of Central Equatoria state without being even detected by civilians. And why is he going toward Western Equatoria area? Well, he Accussed Kiir of plotting to kill him just yesterday, I believe there was something behind that message if this is true.
Daniel Buolmawei
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
Reik Machar was lured into the idea that if Buor were killed, Dr. Garang would politically be weakened and forced to give up power. This was appalling. And any human being alive can’t easily trust this man ever. My dear Nuer community, I am advising you to give up support Reik and propel into visibility another Nuer leader we can find trust and who will earn unanimous support. Just my advice.

Idiot Athor, What brought you to Equatoria? who said that you are welcomed here? Why don’t you learn from Abdurhaman Sule? We Equatorians don’t want this rubbish of yours, you will face justice soon. Equatoria is not a safe Haven for criminals like you, we want peace that we fought for it.

Exactly mawei, Riek is very, very weak in politic and there are lot of reasons to sopport our argument but I am not going there.

There is no need of bringing him alife, let SPLA Celebrate the Christmas by slaughtering him and cut him into pieces so that those other rebels will learn a lesson that SPLA soldiers are National army in the republic of SS, Congratulations SPLM, fighting has always been a meat, wife and drink to you
SPLA Oyee, Let Athor celebrate his Christmas in his grave and may his soul rest in hell, Amen

@ Daniel
With due respect brother, I bid you grew up in the refugees camp, and that why you talk regionalism, and tribalism. Those of us who grew up in North, regionalism and tribalism mean nothing to us. Since the childhood, we always indentified ourselves first as Sudanese, second as proud southerners, but we never ever identified ourselves on the basis of tribalism or regionalism………
Peter Marko
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
However, when I came to USA, I was shock to find out that those who came from the refugees’ camps, first and foremost they identify themselves by the tribes they belong to. Secondly, they identify themselves on the basis of the regionalism. They never ever thought of themselves as Sudanese, and after independent, they rarely think of themselves as the nation of South Sudan…… …….
Peter Marko
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
So my brother u better start to think of yourself first and foremost as South Sudanese, not as Upper- Nilian, or whatever your tribe is. Today, Salva Kiir is our president, tomorrow it could be Wani Igga or Pagan Amoum, or whoever s/he might be elected. So let us support our leaders. Personally, I will not vote for Dr. Riak, but if he got elected, he will have my support.

George Athor is besiege. So what???? It is too early to begin celebrating of his besiege. You remember what happen to Joseph Kony in Nakuamba when he was besiege and eventually he escape and the same thing is likely to happen to him.
If he is captured a live then let not what happen to Mummar Gadhifi also happen to him. He must be brought to prison a live to answer charges against him
Martin Kat
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
Athor is not in the central Equatoria he is in Congo with Joseph Kabila who is the friend of Bashir.
Athor is knows SPLA very well that is why he remain in Congo and if yes, he is in Central Equatoria territoy it will be the end of his life.

Beseiging Athor, why not sudanese forces in Jau?

SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
No, bro Peter, I grew up as a patriotic, nationalist SPLA soldier who sacrificed his whole life for the cause of South Sudanese. When I was in the SPLA, I fought heroically with my heart in the fight for our freedom. I never been succumbed to tribal and regional ideologies until you think I am such a kind today. I think what made you come to such conclusion is your ignorance of what Mr. Mapuor–

wrote. I was reacting to Mapuour’s call of attention to alert other regions of danger of the unity in Upper Nile and his urge for Equatorians and Bhars to take this as a concerned issue in order to protect their power. It is heartbreaking “Peter” if our brothers from other regions keep praying for insecurity to continue in Upper Nile as a means to keep them in power. Do you see this nation–

How many times now do you know guys that had Athor been besieged? Many of them in Biu, May 2002 in Panriang county.
2002 Dec.30th at Dir in Panriang county and yet beating his enemies successfully.
This also will not succeed because it is a mere dream.

as of nationalistic people? I thought you would describe me as “emotional” or “overreacted” rather than accusing me of being “tribalist” and “regionalist.”
Daniel Buolmawei
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
You are right bro Gueth. We don’t need to farther tear ourselves down. We want to identify and acknowledge our problem and correct it so we can politically compete as we have been known for it for long times since the British times. We Upper Nilians never accept to be teared down by our differences. We always fall and rise again. That’s our nature and that how we brought fredom to South Sudan–

Dear Spokeman of SPLA/M,
On seeing the breaking News today I thought that George Athor was apprehended and kept a side in one of the SPLA prison in Bilpam or elsewhere in Juba but it was not it, therefore to besiege does not shown that he was arrested and brought to justice.
Philip Aguer should be very realistic and careful about the besieged of Athor Deng Dut.
Junior de maber
SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
Dear readers Mr.Athor has rights to move any where in the South Jungle,but he should not attempt to attack the peace poeple of Morobo otherwise he may follow what happened in Mundri. Watch out in Juba he may be at the gate.

SPLA besiege George Athor in C. Equatoria: spokesman
Gen. Athor Deng Dot should be captured and tried. We also need to hear him out. We fought the Jalaba to get a chance to exercise democarcy,liberty and justice. The SPLA can not just kill him unless in the process of self defence.
Good Luck to the SPLA gallant soldiers.
