    Hi folks

    This is another bright future for Jongolei and yet another reason that made me to support gevernor Kuol at least for now and may be forever.

    All criminal must be brought to the justice if we want permanent and lasting peace in our state. Nuer, Anyuak, Murle and Bor who commit crimes must face what they have molded in toughest way.

    Civilians need to learn how to kill themselves away from the government town if at all they want to fight. This is not brand new kind of murder, it happened many and many times. last year some gunmen who were believed to be from Dinka Bor wrestled one SPLA officer from Murle to death just at Gumba. Last month, an officer who was at the prison training field was shot dead at midnight when he was in deep sleep, the guy was from Murle. Another gunman also walked to the Murle neighborhood and shot one man innocently dead. Yesterday as GOSS soldiers and policemen carried out house to house checks for the unauthorized guns, one Murle officer was physically threatened and even punched just because he advised his junior officers to stop harrassing innocent civilians at Juba bright kral. The latest incident ( killing of the officer from prison) was about to let some Murle youth to take the law in their own hands and attack Bor who were in Juba to revenge for the killing but Murle senior officers and intellectuals convinced the youth that the incident was not organized crime but individualistic barbarism.

    I know Bor are not happy when they lost some of their friends or relatives but yet they need to advice their criminals to stop importing tribal hatred into the cities and the towns because such acts may even strengten more threats to the national stability than expected.

    I hope that will stop

    God blessed

    This is not the culprit. The murder was premeditated by Bor SPLA-officers. The innocent person was coerced to confess, so the Bor-SPLA would use different tactics later.

    I said, there are so many Bor-lt.colonels in SPLA in Nuerland. The Nuer relatives of this colonel know what to do. You can find Bor SPLAers everywhere in South Sudan. The Bors started this barbarism, savagism…..No nuer would be blamed. if Bor civilians want to go after Nuer civilians, no problem. But killing an SPLA officer, just because he is a Nuer is really primitive.

    Only a Bor coward can do that. There is so much pressure from within Bortown now to explode, that is why some innocent individual was coerced to confess, so war does not break out from the Bortown. This is damage control by Kuol, the story will change later. I said, kill to revenge a colonel with a Bor colonel anywhere in South. The Bors are to blame!!

    After talking to some Nuer officers in the military, there will be an ugly revenge over Lt. Colonel Gai Chuol Reath’s cold-blooded murder by Dinkas. First, 450 Nuer officers were murdered by Dinkas in 1994 both in Rumbek & Torit. The one in Rumbek were murdered by Salva Mathok Geng & Salva Kiir Mayardit. The others in Torit were murdered by Bior Ajang Duot, Kuol NYang Jock(current Jonglei gov.), George Athor & others.

    Now they have begun killing Nuer officers again? The Nuers officers are scatter all over south sudan, so that the Dinkas can kill them one by one. The Nuer officers need to review their own personal security or safety. There is no TRUST between the Dinkas & the Nuers, peroid. The killing of the Nuer officers will not stop because this killings is the implementation of Yei Rally by Salva Kiir, Lake State Gov.& others.

    The Nuer officers need to regroup and flock together. Don’t trust other Dinkas officers for your life please. One thing is for all of you to serve in Nuerland & other SPLAers to serve in their own lands. The Killing of our brother & fellow comrade, Lt. Colonel Gai Chuol Reath signal Dinkas stupidity & lack of nationalism. The Equatorians were killed by Dinkas,Mamur was jailed by Dinkas, Shuluk were killed by Dinkas, the Nuer officers are being murdered in cold-blooded by Dinkas.

    The Nuer military power needs to reign Supreme on this case & the Nuer officers who are more than 50% of the SPLAers have to show the Dinkas brothers what time it is in South Sudan & who have the power in the military. Our Dinkas brothers confused their food-fighting business with real warriors of south sudanese.

    There are no sincere, fair & honest Dinkas ever. Please look after your own life. There is no such thing as united SPLAers. Lt. Colonel Gai Chuol Reath did not have to die in vain. Tell me, Why should the Nuers put south sudan first before their own lives, such as witness by this killing? The Dinkas are food-fighters. They only care about money, not south sudan.

    Unless the Nuer officers are just bunch of pussycats, the killing of Gai should be a real wake up call & should be revenged with all Nuer officers changing their deployment locations to Nuerland & take the coward Dinkas on anywhere in south. No more 450 Nuer officers killing like what happened in Rumbek & Torit, please. Gai’s killing shall be the last cold-blooded murder by the Dinkas in SPLA.
