Bush,
I am not encouraging cattle rustling but this had been a practice between Nuer, Murle, some Dinka sub tribes and clans, and some tribes in Eastern Equatoria for centuries. They had done it for centuries with the motive of taking cattle and minimize human harm so that the raided people can look for more cattle to be raided in the future. This had been a motive behind cattle raiding for centuries in Sudan and other African countries.
But today, some tribes organize cattle raiding with the aim of devastating the raided tribe by killing as many people as they can and taking as many cattle as possible. This is not the motive of traditional cattle raids.
Cattle rustling is bad and should be discouraged but this particular raid was well organized and it minimized human casualties in heavily armed societies. Youth who organized this raid are true cattle rustlers whose motive was not to kill Nuer innocent civilians and youths but to take cattle for their riches and may be marriages.
This is a true tribal cattle raid without tribal hatred to cause devastating effect in term of human lost.
If our people were practicing this kind of cattle theft, there would not have been a major alarm but what is going on now between Nuer and Dinka, and Nuer and Murle is completely unacceptable; it is what I termed as an intentional depopulation of South Sudan through massive and wide spread killings and must be stopped immediately even if it requires military force.

Dinkas are patence and honest people they don,t like of taking some one property but if you do something bad to them now and then,they will think twice before they act and make consultations.Nuer has taught them of surving of someone property for long time again.look recently they came to Twic toch where they killed many people coz of cattle and this could be revenge if really happened but this is not a true statement.Dinkas always listen to people and you nuer are causing the whole south sudan to be inscure.

Nuer are also raided cattle and killed people in lakes stae,took 6750 cattle and warrap too but we just take easy as normal.no blame to Riek Machar or kiir mayardit or no one plan to do bad thing to Riek.
you need a leadership with no qualities of leadership with u guys maybe few people.

advice yourselves and raiding cattle.

Dear Bonifacio Taban Kuic,
you only talking at this time and where were in the long time Nuer community were looted thousand of cattle from Dinka,since some year back,You are saying they were having RPGs and PKs for what?these were just only they thieves and who looted the cattle and killed people in the first place? Is the Nuer Community of Mayom County.

Don’t report worry information,when you saw one thief of Dinka tribe while you have already leave thousand of thieves in Nuer community to looted they cattle as they want without controle from the Government of Mayom County.

Thank you so much Mr Garang and I hope those who understand it like you will follow our advice too. Every person has his/her own problem but you don’t go shouting about it on the street because people will start laughing at you.

The comments that we post here are read by many people both inside and outside, friends and enemies and the enemies of peace will make use of differences to generate their agenda.

Even we don’t want this site report about South Sudan issues after July 9 because, look there are a lot of developments going on in the South right now but they don’t report about them rather they only keep on report about the negative parts such as rebellions and cattle rustling which spoils our images in the eyes of the World.

We will have new web sites after July 9.

Thank you for obeying.
