By Philip Thon Aleu
December 1, 2008 (BOR TOWN) – Armed with a range of veterinary equipments on Monday, India army veterinary doctors start vaccinating cattle- weaken by various diseases in Bor.
The India battalion is part of the United Nations Mission in Sudan that monitors 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed between the National Congress Party government and the former rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement.
Cattle diseases, which local people say are strange, invaded Bor early October killing hundreds and surging malnutrition among children who entirely depend on milk. Following State government’s request, a team of India army veterinary doctors led by Lt. Col. Ajay Kumar, arranged a three to four day vaccination.
Kumar told Sudan Tribune that the cattle are suffering from; east cost fever, debility, diarrhea, ticks infestations, CBPP, NS4BQ, worm infestations and malnutrition. Tens of cattle have been dying daily around Jonglei capital making atmosphere dense and breathing difficult in some corners of Bor roads due to decomposing cattle remains.
Flanked by head of India army chief P K Anuj (in Bor), Dr. Kumar team brings antibiotics, ant-diarrhea, multivitamins, fungicial cream, cough syrup, liver tonics, anti-protozoal, skin ointments, appetizers and infertility drugs to treat the ailing animals.
Cattle dominate Bor economy, social and political norms. Dowry price is settled in terms of cattle. Children are fed entirely on cattle milk. Men and women led their animals to the temporarily vaccination camp erected for cattle treatment.
Jonglei state director of Animal resources congratulates the India army for “this remedy” and requesting a long term solutions “so that it is not a day work.”

Not cattle only including the whole community must be treated and necessary crossing of satets must be stop, restrication must be apply to entire states of jungle. They must remain in their huts. This is a serious matter, i dont’t why alot of diseases are always orginating from those people and their entire community in particular. Last time it was cholera now it is a new disease, what a jumble living conditions in that state.

Logic, You are political dead meat and your entire community has food-visioned and traitors leaders. I am not up to date Convienced man. What are your war strategies between you and Dinka People Logic? And when will your war start? Because we are sick of it.You are coward, visionless, dependent-minded, poor-informed and the go-between bastard. If you are a real human nature or normal person. How can you abuse the deads such as Dr. Garang, Dr. Justin and Dominic Dim Deng? Let me remind you that a dead person can not defend himself. Garang is dead, however he can no longer defend himself. You should talk to other brave Dinkas, whom you are currently serving as your masters there in Juba and other significant areas in Equatoria. Talk to them, press your worries because they are living.
