By Manyang Mayom
August 14, 2009 (RUMBEK) – Two Darfuri traders went missing between Higleig area of oilfield and Southern Sudan territory on Wednesday August 5.
The two men: Mubarak Abdel-Raham Osman, 45 years, and Babakir Ahmed Mohamed, 24 years, from Darfur are working in Yirol West County of Lakes state since two year.
The two traders were apprehended by the Sudanese army in a check point while the truck was in route to Yirol from Omdurman.
“The Sudanese Army Forces (SAF) ordered us to get out in our lorry at block centre road, then we were released to proceed with our truck loaded with goods to South Sudan territory and two of our tradesmen remain under custody,” said one of the passengers.
The truck was loaded with goods item on August 5; meanwhile, “we arrived at Yirol West County on August 9 with goods but our colleague are still missing,” said a trader from Yirol.
Moreover, Commissioner of Yirol West County, in Lakes States, Agok Manyiel Dhieu, said that two northern traders have disappeared while they were on their way to County Yirol West from Omdurman. “This is awful step discouraging businessmen in the Counties of Lakes state,” he added.
Manyiel said communication was cut with the traders on the 3rd of this month upon their arrival to Higleig area.
He said that efforts being exerted by the security authorities in the Lakes and Unity States, but they failed so far to identify the site of the traders or uncover the reason behind their disappearance.

Two Darfur traders gone missing on way to Yirol
Dear Manyang,
You have two goods titles of being a journalist and being a son of great Lakestates but you used to miss one thing by mistake.(you suport article which is not relevant to the topic!)
Rumbek or Lake state has no concern in this deaths.
For sure, the article says, “Two Darfuri traders went missing between Heglig area of oil field and Southern Sudan territory; which I think place of “HEGLIEG and SOUTHERN SUDAN TERRITORY,is not in Rumbek nor Lakes state, is it?
Further more, the sentences describe that, “The two traders were APPREHENDED BY THE SUDANESE ARMY IN THE CHECK POINT while truck was in route to Yirol from Omdurman.
It is not clear where the check point was ordered.
The book of law says,if any one leaves for somewhere and die before reaching the destination, the people in heading place should not be blame. For instant,if you plan to leave Rumbek Seconday School heading to Comboni,and you got incident there before reaching Comboni,the people of Comboni should not be blamed because you hadn’t reached their place.
Therefore traders might have got the problem before they had reached the Southern territory-Lakes state-Yirol.
I think Rumbek is innocent for this depressed illeagle act.
Finally, Manyang, I may kindly inform you that,a dirty cloth is not added into the muddy stagnant water but it’s washed to become clean so that we wear it next.
Eventhough Lakes state has past problems of murdering the traders,we should not claim the false unproved irelevant statement on her.
I think I am clear as we know our selves of how good friends we were during our studies in Rumbek.
I am here to suport you yet to protect the rights of the citizens if neccessary.
If I am wrong,would you please to reply me poliely?’
Thanks.
Maluach de Madit.
