Plural news and views on Sudan

One killed and one wounded in shooting among Mundari

By Isaac Vuni

May 17, 2009 (JUBA) — As the two commissioners of Juba and Terekeka Counties were attempting to ensure a ceasefire before reconciliation among their warring communities, one Mundai was shot dead yesterday morning at 6 am by a fellow Mundari and another wounded because they were suspected of spying for the Bari people.

The body of Phiilp Loro Morobe is still at Juba Teaching Hospital mortuary while the wounded man is recovering in the same hospital.

While the wounded victim was still confined to the hospital this afternoon, a section of Mundari vowed to revenge him, whose mother and parental uncles are from Bari.

Mundari fighters last week attacked Bari villages, during which exchanges of heavy gunfire sometimes could be heard in the capital of South Sudan, Juba. The two communities are closely related, have extensively inter-married and both speak versions of the Bari language.

Many Bari leaders last week boycotted a reconciliation meeting held at Nyakuroni Centre in Juba, saying they could not participate while they were still under attack. On the other hand, the Mundari accuse Bari of maintaining militia that legally are required to be integrated into official forces.

    I recalled when president Bashir backfired Taha for initialing the south-north peace deal .he simply replied “in the absence of any other battles/wars, they (the southerners) will turn these arms against themselves,” says Ali Mohammad Taha.
    truly, we shall rule them forever even if they divided sudan into villages leave alone the faults hope of separation of south.
