Dear readers,

This is very serious! Over 40 people confirmed killed and the killings have not yet stopped. 20 villages destroyed. Thousands displaced. This is not a joke. Why did the GOSS keep quite about this? I hope the SPLA did not side with the Bor-Dinka this time like they did against the Lou-Nuer when they sided with the Nyarweng-Dinka of Duk Padiet. I suspect that the so-called (Dr.) Majak Agoot, the NCP’s Deputy Director for National Security did not rush to send his notorious security forces to rescue the Bor-Dinka against the Mundari. May be this is how 20 villages are destroyed in four days fighting while the GOSS kept quiet and diverted the public attention to the Bentiu incident between two bodyguards that killed only 16 people. The Bor-Dinka and Mundari fighting is potentially dangerous because it occurred close to the GOSS capital, Juba, and can easily spread into the capital. The GOSS is polarizing the situation in South Sudan. Now Kuol Manyang shamelessly called it simply a cattle theft. Why destroy 20 villages if it is a cattle theft? Why target vehicles, boats, etc if it is a cattle theft?

This is an organized attack on Mundari. I blame GOSS for its conspiracy of silence and to only respond by just summoning the governors after four days of fighting. GOSS should stop being a tribal chieftaincy and engage these tribal wars all over the South through honest, fair and just policies and actions that do not favor certain tribes and target some others. This will only polarize the situation and may get out of control.

Blaming such incidents on the NCP in Khartoum is a lame excuse and a sign of complete failure by this government which is in charge of its affairs. NCP did not tell Bor-Dinka to let loose their cattle into Mundari farms. And if it is the Mundari who attacked the Bor-Dinka cattle camp, did the NCP tell them to do so? It is purely an internal issue like that of the Duk Padiet with the Lou-Nuer. It might have been caused by the cattle or the farm issue, but the fighting left the cattle or farms and instead targeted innocent civilians and their villages and even government vehicles, and vehicles owned by traders or personally owned. Even boats navigating the river are being targeted.

But since GOSS has failed in every bit of responsibility, the best and cheapest way it resorts to is to always blame such failures including the looting of public funds and the issue of 6 billion pounds worth of stolen grains all on the NCP. Pathetic indeed! May God help us out of this mess!

It is hard to have intelligence discusion and debate in south sudan when “Dinka-Bor Militia” and SPLA are killing the helpless mundari civilians. In serach of excellence, Salva Kiir resorted to killing south sudanese civilians!! Where are Clement Konga & the rest of Equatorians?

The report is biased and not balanced if one reads between the lines. The writer is just reporting the one side. The reporter is also shy to tell the truth about which arm group is ambushing motor vehicles between Juba and Bor. Distortion won’t work.
I support no killing of any person or burning of villages. Lack respect and territoriality will not take southerner far.

I think this fight will not be brought down very soon because Dinka Bor find it cheaper to fight Mandari community compare to ruthless mighty naath nuer of which they beleived their death and fear will not go away with the present of nuer community.they are coronically ill about them and they don’t want to touch nuer community in anyway or other. now Mandari community will pay for Bor lost to Nuer community because there is no way Dinka Bor could recoup all those losses caused by Nuer attack at Dukpadiet.

Dinka Bor talk as if they are above the law, as if they don’t die but when it come to fight, they are they one to die first, they are they one to retreat and run away with women and they are the one who use cold blood killings to recoup their past losses and cry asking for peace reconciliation. what kind of people are these?

My people,

The whole world and particularly the concerned nations like USA, Britain, Norway, Canada, etc plus our African countries have been monitoring this website daily. GOSS tribal leadership is known world-wide for its failure to apply just and fair policy across the South. Didn’t you read how Eritrean President, Isayas Afowerki expressed his disgust over how GOSS mishandles South Sudan affairs in that long article he posted on this website? It is only wise to be a responsible and fair government that treats all its citizens as equals and exercises the sense and practice of responsibility.

Dear Southerners,

It is very unfortunate that while we should be thinking of what unites us and preach it or implement it, there are others who want to deprive others of their God given rights. And these evil plans began during the war. People should stop pursuing such evil plans for the sake of our unity and peaceful co-existence.

The Bor-Dinka have almost implemented John Garang’s plan to occupy Madiland. This is manifested in Nimule. They tried it in Mundri but the Muru tribe detected it and kicked out the Bor-Dinka in 2006. They are attempting the same in Acholi land. Newsite is another thing. Now they talk of Mundari land.

Thieleling, the Bor-Dinka plan was to implant themselves in Nimule, EES, Mundri, WES and Gemeiza or Mangala, CES. Their ultimate goal as exposed so many times last year on ‘southsudannation.com’ is to claim citizenship in these states which would in the long run result in claiming representations in both legislature and executive organs of such states. May be they foresee that they will no longer live in Jonglei state. Don’t worry, the people of Equatoria are already aware of such plans and they will fail them.

Thieleling, our cousins have the best chance to either make the South united and peaceful or make it disintegrate and destructive for some time. They are not currently utilizing their leadership for the sake of uniting our people. They resort to tribal politics as if they have understood GOSS as their chieftaincy. God is great and may change their minds or else….

All you who contribute on this website, whether Dinkas, Nuers, or Equatorians are all a disgrace to the South Sudan and an entity and therefore have nothing to offer. People are dying in Bor and Teregeka and you are all in engage silly game of tribalism. May God curse all of you who contribute negatively on this website. The blood of our dying innocent people in Jonglei, Central Equatoria, Western Upper Nile and in some parts of South Sudan will judge all of you one by one.

God bless our motherland, South Sudan.

Please the Bari and Mundari forget about the minor conflict you had with each,this war is a serious one.Central Equatorians especailly all speak one language,stop about those minor conflicts.Defend your selves up to the last point.You can see how Kiir is now defending his Dinka Militia.Let’s show them that we can fight if war is necessary;we are not cowards.Keep up Equatorians with this heroism.

South sudan is doomed, if southerners alltogether continue to be stupid, naive and ignorant, south sudan will soon be an empty land with only its enemies and other foriegners taking over due to your stupidity and ignorance of the leaders as same as the citizens.

Just today the country has been plunged by deadly EBOLA, we do not know whatever deadly diseases are out there waiting to re-surface, meanwhile you have tribes fighting eachother, corruption and poor governance.

GOSS need to wake up , we do not have much time, the country needs dramatic change is the way things work or else we are all doomed.

SOUTHERN DINKA-BOR, WHY KILL THE GOOSE THAT LAYS THE GOLDEN EGG?

October 06/09 (New York) — It is my prediction here that prior to reading the entire article, some readers and commentators, just by a glimpse of the title, are going to rush onto making those inflammatory remarks which serve nothing but widen the deteriorating felicity of peaceful coexistence between or among neighbors, by labeling me, a tribalist. You are herewith granted the permission, just before hand. But unless you are a pessimist, you will come to embrace the truth, and it is only this very truth that will set the history straight. All open-minded readers will overwhelmingly, if not wholesomely, concur with me, that within human tradition and cultural dexterity, there lie one basic thing with reference to how a thief or predator should behave: steal but do not kill the laborer lest you be caught. Thus, a thief who kills is not a survivor, but an annihilator—a real idiot.

Generalization might not be a good thing, and as it is conceptually understood, is definitely unacceptable, at least in its abstract sense. Nonetheless, with regard to what happened not only recently, but as earlier as in 1980s, in the Mundari-Land, it is worth asserting here that Southern Dinka-Bor is indefensibly a society which lacks ethics, not in the context of how it relates to office, but in the context of how Southern Dinka-Bor behaves towards neighbors, and around the globe. It is never my habit to adopt such a controversial approach, but as far the incidence between Mundari and South-Bor Dinka is concern, I will allow myself to draw the conclusion that they, the South-Bor Dinka, are immoral, arrogant, unappreciative, lazy people, who since time immemorial have been behaving like the “ancient predators.”

There are numerous periods in which the most accommodative Mundari people have hosted, helped, and provided the neighboring Dinka with at most everything they lacked and wanted ( of course they always lack, even their god, “nHIALIC,” knows), yet the savages ( if I may allow my anger to rule) never reflected on every bit of these special treatments. Instead they ceaselessly pronounced themselves as “Muonjang” while at the same time belittling others as “barbaric.” Well, “Muonjang,” no one would object to whatever accolade you might want to acclaim yourself. However, all you are suppose to do is to portray it through positive actions, honor, and humility— that is, you are not only what you proclaim, but that you are the exact replica of your voluntary, conscientious resolve that had rendered you to be present in almost every hundred square-feet of the earth. You (of course I mean Southern-Dinka) might want to swindle the title of “liberator,” but wait a minute! What is of a liberator if he does not respect and protect the very same environment, together with its constituents? Where on earth do liberators squander, hide, and keep civilian properties in the IDPS camps for over a decade, in the disguise of being civilians? Obviously those murderers are not civilians. If they are then the next question is: where did they obtain cattle yet when they escape in the 1990s, they had nothing?

A real “Muonjang” lives and keeps his cattle in Marial Bai, in Aweil, in Thiet, in Panyagor, and so forth. What is this “Muojang” (husband of Jienge as so posited) who hovers, fixates, and marauds all over peace-containing territories, bamboozling others’ labor’s sweats, and without being mindful of how painful it is to the laborers watching the products of their industry being trampled over by after all, the very same cattle which were initially stolen from them, but now in the hands of the rackets? In fact, those are not the patriotic, responsible, and honorable “Muonjang” the Mundari people know; those are “wives of Jienge,” or rather the cursed crooks, who are ashamed about their reputations back in the Dinka-Land, thus the reason they are hesitant to going home. Else, why would someone refrains going to his birth place if he knows he is a liberator, a clean, hardworking, entrepreneur who is willing to develop and share his fortunes with his community? Readers, won’t you agree with me that there is a puzzle as to why the Southern-Dinka Bor IDPS do not want to return?

Although there are as countable explanations as there can be of this puzzle, let me just espouse only two here. First, the Southern-Bor Dinka hold and practice high standard of respect—an ideal I only wish they extend it beyond their boundaries— from within. This is something those cowards, crooks, and excommunicated criminals do not want to live up to. The second espousal stems from the fact that the Mundari had since before the days of Thon Ayii, a notorious swindler who later got fire-squad by Kuol Manyang for expropriating thousands of Mundari cattle, and Panchol Manyang, a tactful Militia and “Magendo” who until the 1991 mutiny against the SPLA, was staged in the very same “Keji Luro” (dinkanized as Wuor-Bar) where the first fighting erupted, been very unreservedly kind and hospitable to their northern neighbors. Specifically, the Mundari had always allowed the Dinka to overgraze their lands, permitted them to inhabit the “Tor/Tikon” (Swamp/Sudd), offered them grains, corns, groundnuts (though at many a times they stole), granted them to use their grounding stone and grounding motor, and welcoming them to share and enjoy their social and cultural entertainments. During natural calamities, the Mundari had always opened their doors to the Dinka since they had no one else to turn to, and perhaps the UN did not know of, or just got fade up with them (the South-Dinka). This hospitality is what had seemingly disoriented the Southern-Dinka to be so lazy that they expect to gobble and guzzle on everything, free of charge. Well, if the Southern-Dinka has assumed to be the slugs of the 21st century, want to wait for free manna from Kaku or Poni, while lingering or sleazing around in “wrong number plate,” then sorry! The patient but “unbwogable” Mundari will not allow themselves to be intimidated on their very rightful land. The Motto is simple: You started against us, we fight to the end. And remember, preemption is not winning. It is crystal clear that the Dinka are now determined to annihilate the goose that lays the golden egg; they don’t need the good farmer anymore, may be Ndugu has shown them some skills and techniques, when they were in Nimule. Let’s wait and see.

Finally, and as I affirmed earlier, only an ignorant, Southern-Dinka will dare to refute these facts, and again, I won’t be surprised receiving an attempt to do so. But whereas I welcome comments of any kinds, I challenge in advance heretofore any Southern-Dinka who believes that there was ever any such period when the Mundari ever crossed to their borders, for trespassing, begging for anything, disrespecting their culture, stealing from, and/or fighting them, on their locality. The world knows that no single citation is available, save perhaps, dragging in a made-up. Hence, the Southern-Dinka must either reform or should cease naming and pronouncing places, for example, “Gemetha” instead of Gumeiza or “Magala”, instead of Mongalla, as if their teachers were the last stooges the Turkish had ever trained.
