Heavy fighting reported between Lou-Nuer and Murle communities
By James Gatdet Dak
March 10, 2009 (JUBA) – Authorities of Jonglei State on Tuesday reported deadly clashes between the Lou-Nuer clan and Murle tribe in the state.
Jonglei state governor, Kuol Manyang Juuk briefed the President of the Government of Southern Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit on Tuesday in Juba on the deadly incidence involving the two communities.
In a press statement, Manyang said a group of armed Lou-Nuer civilians organized a retaliatory attack on the Murle community, prompting him to come to Juba requesting for urgent intervention by the Government of Southern Sudan to arrest the situation.
He said the attack by the Lou-Nuer clan against the Murle tribe was in retaliation to previous attacks against the community by the heavily armed Murle community since January this year.
Governor Manyang said the fighting resulted to Lou-Nuer community capturing the Murle town of Kwangala – the second largest Murle community’s administrative headquarters after Pibor town.
The fighting was still continuing into other Murle areas.
Last month Lou-Nuer community leaders blamed the security forces in the state for failing to protect its citizens from the Murle attacks which left about 30 people dead and warned that the community would be left with no option but to defend itself against such attacks.
Governor Manyang said he discussed with President Salva Kiir the need to urgently deploy SPLA forces to stop the escalating fighting.
No casualties were yet reported as a result of the fighting.

TO H;E,KUOL MANYANG
This is a good news to every ears of all people in jonglei state when the Lou Nuer made an oppensive attack on Primate Murle who are victim of CPA,Disunity in Jonglei state and howeever,Murle tribe/or so called clan are the right people to have actually deserve ethenic-cleansing of which i believe this could be doawn to Murle and moreafter, Lou-Nuer would not be blame for an act to grind with Murle, Moreever,if anyone may try to accussed the Lou-Nuer community for their action,then,He/she would be naive becoz we do not know the tribe values of Murle whether politically,socially,economically or in term of physical structure Murle are last people around the world after the Aboriginals of present day Australia.Furthermore, i do not see why his excellency Kuol Manyang look like he is panicing? And afterall,violences in Jonglei is not the first time,hour or first day as people were assumming that everyting will be o.k when mr Kuol takeover,thus,What does mr Kuol expect to do if there are still fightings in Jonglei state? Hence, why don,t Spla/m summoning back their formerly manifesto as this may reduce rate of voilences regardless on what could be comment by human right.Therefore, i encourage Lou community to do their tasks thricing it capacity and nevertheless,who are murle compare to you people of Lou? Jonglei can do without Murle and we can,t recognise their existence,wipe them out they are unclassfied tribe,LOU OYEEE.LOU OYEEEEEEEEEEEE;

I do believe justice is a noble cause that anybody cherishes. However, doing it in a retaliatory manner end up like an eye for an eye, which eventually bring no good to either party. The murle have been rattling other communities and maybe ought to be bitten. Personally, they need a lesson that they can carry down through generation that war among neighbours is a curse and should be avoided by all mean.
How I wish, the attach was carried out unanimously by all the Jonglei communities so that they can see that their thuggery habit has reach the elastic limit.
Tit for tat isnt cool, but at times, it worth doing

Folks,
When you attack the Mighty Naath ethnic group, don’t expect flowers, but Blood and Iron. And if you eliminate one person from Mighty Naath community be prepared for the worst because the dirty ugly retialation from Nuer community will not only take more than 10 lives from the coward communities, but some kids/young women can be taken as captives by the Mighty Naath community as well.
The Mighty Naath community will never be stopped by the coward General/Governor Mr. Kuol Manyang Juuk nor will come back until they (Naath) burn down to ash all the villages arround Pibor and bring all the cows and youg lades, girls/boys as captives.
The very tiny coward Murle ethnic group was very wrong on its judgement towards Naath community, as a matter of fact Mighty Naath community is not like coward Dinka communty who have been enslaved by the Murle community for years.
After the Mighty Naath done with this tiny Murle community, the next retialation/invasion (Mut) will be cared out by Mighty Naath community against these coward Dinka community within Jonglei State for their last month ruthless killing in Duk county against officials/traders who appeared to be from Nuer community.
The very tiny Murle community and coward Dinka community don’t deserve to have cattle, but it is Mighty Naath will to let them have them all. At this time, Mighty Naath as a community is comming for raid/destruction against Murle, but next time it will be occupation from Pibor to Buma unless the very dirty ugly Murle stop their cowardic acts instead of facing Nuer Warriors in warfield. Nuer raid/occupation (invation) has been beyond confrontation since 1800s and other coward Jurs (Jentiles) have to know that.
Only someone with Lion heart like Lt. General Lion Peter Gatdet Yak, Lt. General Tiger Bol Koang can stop the mighty Naath community from warfield, but not cowards Generals like Lt. General Kuol Manyang Juuk and likes.

I don’t blame Murle or Lou-Nuer, I blame the advisor of president for peace and reconciliation Ismail Konyi this is his work and they are his people fighting. if he deos not wannt to make peace and people should reconcile then his people shall pay consequence.

To my fellow citizens of Jonglei state
I am appalle by the Lou Nuer and Murle crisis in the Jonglei state. The people who will bear the brunt are the same citizens of the vast, large and magnificent state. I would concurre with the above commentator that it is not in the interest of Jonglei to have division among its citizens like it happens. The main people occupying this vast of land are NUER, DINKA, MURLE, ANYUAK and JIE but problem lies with the first big three tribes inspired by cattle rustling between them and sometimes child abduction.
Murle is not that large to the extent of both NAATH communities ranging from GAWEER, LOU, GAJAAK and GAJOOK of Jonglei. It is the duty of Governor to protect the Murle though Murle can’t hear any person even their own son Ismail Kony, the advisor on peace and reconciliation of GOSS.
My advise to Murle is to appologise to the communities neighbouring them like Naath, Dinka AND Anyuak because they have tolerated you for so long as if you are their God.
I mean, I didn’t say that Murle is to be wiped out of Jonglei but there is a sense of desperation among your neighbours in the state. If you doubt believe me one’s can tour the state to gather information concerning Murle reputation. This is very bad to me because a small tribe or a section to call it, is absolutely hated in the state by the large tribes like Naath and Dinka. My pledge to Murle is to understand the situation between what was during the war when they were used by Arabs as militias against their brothers in the South and the aftermath of war whereby everyone is now free from the struggle against the Arabs and the main focus will be what to do with the Murle atrocities committed during and after the war. This is likely to cause revenge attacks against the Murle at the scale we just witness now. Murle must know that there is no more Arabs in the South as to that their turn of revenge attacks by the other communities is imminent.
They could have taken heed from their Sultan and advisor to GOSS MR. ISMAIL KONY to narrate to them the feeling among different communities in the Jonglei towards Murle before making another aggressive attacks against their neighbours. Know that What goes around comes around.

Hey Mr Sudan and Kim,
Why are you boosting about 1991 incident when you were defeated till you end up surrendering to your father El Bashir.
I think the word coward is addited to your lips that`s why you don`t use it in the right way.
I think all of you came back to residential areas after we have forgiven you.
Ask Mr Riek to tell you in case you were not present, he can tell you how tough we are.
But in case of any doubt try then if you will not end up in capture like Sadam Husein.
Monyjang are more than conqueror.

Good comment my dear
First my Condolence goes to those family who lost their love one.
This is not good newses when our people are killing themselves like animal it let us (Southern)carries and our enemy is laughing at us.
Brother I really love some of your comment this problem will not end soon unless the Government of South Sudan take action against Ismail Konyi.
Because he say last time that he disarmed Murle, where is the reality now? Things are upside down due to his false reports.
Goss must do something before Riek Gai Kok and others Arabs get involve in this show.
May God be with South Sudan and let the leaders take quick actions.

Dear Southern Brothers,
Thank you for all your comments. Besides, beware of Omer Al-Bashir’s National Islamic Front (NIF) old say, which is as follows:”It is all our gun if a southern Sudanese is killed by a snake bit, drown, or kill by other Southern Sudanese.” So, if you encourage or kill any Southern Sudanese, know that it counts as a winning toward al-Bashir’s (NIF) government. Al-Bashir’s government is working hard day—night to reduce the population of South Sudan. See, he is intentionally delaying the results of the census done about a year ago.
Anyway, I cannot blame those of you who had commented negatively against other clans/tribes in this Murle—Nuer incident, but people like Riek Machar Teny who seem to be highly educated but still think as uneducated. Why? Want not to mention here.

HE Manyang in fact you are trying your level best to bring together the cursed community by God who at all don’t listen to whoever, thank for the way forward for your requsted for SPLA to intervince.
But to me the intervention of the SPLA is not the solution because it is just a force kind of problem solving.
To me the key leaders of these two communities should think twice together with their grassroot on the modelity on how to delve such protrating violent in the state.
Please Konyi, Riak and Matip what are you doing in the GOSS?
whose tick brought you to GOSS? if it is for those killing themselves and you are not after all these, then you are to rash there to cool down such malicious act made by your people.
