Toll from Warrap-Lakes fight said to be 24 killed, 22 wounded
By Manyang Mayom
April 2, 2009 (RUMBEK) — The chairperson of security and public order in the Lakes state legislative assembly, Hon. Joseph Maker Mathiang, confirmed on Thursday that 24 people were confirmed dead as well 22 people critically injured in a clash reported earlier this week between Jalawau pastoralist youths of Warrap state and Lakes state pastoralist youths of Cueibet county.
Last month Jalwau youth of Warrap state made a deadly attack on Gok-Panyar youth of Cueibet county, taking a herd of cattle. This more recent attack was organized by Gok youth in retribution for the first attack done by Warrap youth, according to a cattle keeper youth member of Cueibet county, Mathiang Maker.
According to a source in Warrap state, 16 people are dead and the number of wounded persons is still unclear.
The fighting broke out on Sunday night at 3 o’clock at a place called Kolkou territory within Warrap state when Cueibet pastoralist youth of the Gok clan launched an attack on the neighboring town of Kaujok.
However, the Lakes state parliament acting Speaker Hon. Marik Nanga Marik condemned the incident. The peace initiative between Warrap state and Lake State, which reached a landmark agreement this month, must continue despite the misunderstanding being caused by the two states’ pastoralist youths, he said.
“We must act as diplomatic leaders and let us build a better nation for New Sudan without discrimination or putting the young generations into the generation of conflicts and confusion,” said Nanga.

foremost i want to send my condolences to those that have lost their love ones in this conflict in the lake state as it is uncomprehensible and sometime it is very important that we let our freedom fighters know that they are not fulfelling their duties of protecting the citizens and south sudan after war need leaders that are well equipped with modern ways of protecting the ones that sometime adore them and soon those that elect them, but not those that appoint them. I wish that our freedom fighters should just copy Nelson Mandela and retire as icon that we as southerners will remember for generations.
as a dinka I thinK that GOVERNOR DANIEL AWET AKOT is putting lives of lakes state people at stake and he should just resign and let somebody that will do the job take over.
Sorry my fellow county men but this is how things should work but i still have mush respect for the governer

It’s so sad to see realities as in the picture above. GoSS is a failure to Southerners. States’governemt had also fail the people. 22 people dead in Lake-Warrap youths clashes; more than 700 died in Murle-Lou clashes; More unreported dead in all the ten states of South Sudan and Goss with its uncouth weak policies is keeping quiet. Shame onto them who hold positions just for titles unlike to render much needed services to their subjects. Look here, Awet Akot, governor of lake state hail from Chueibet; Kiir Mayar, Goss president is from Warap,(where these big men hailed from is, where the current clash is) so,if the big men/women clans are not awared of what South Sudan mean, then what would be the reason to blame other clans or tribes.
