Three people killed following Taban Deng declared win in Unity state
April 23, 2010 (KHARTOUM) — Three people were killed and two others were wounded when protests were staged in the state capital Bentiu by supporters of Angelina Teny who has formally lost the race for governor in the oil-rich state.
Earlier today, the local Radio FM station in Bentiu announced that the local electoral committee declared the incumbent governor Taban Deng Gai as the winner in the tight and highly tense race. The National Elections Commission (NEC) expressed fury over what they saw as a premature move by the local electoral officials.
The NEC chairman Abel Alier said that this was not coordinated with the head office in Khartoum. He phoned Teny, wife of south Sudan’s vice president Riek Machar, to say that no final results have been released noting that the NEC is in the process of looking into the alleged inflating of figures in favor of Taban Deng by the electoral office in Bentiu before it could make the decision on who won the race.
But later in the day the NEC officially announced that Deng garnered 137,362 of the votes against 63,561 for Teny.
The chairman of the local electoral committee in Bentiu, Michael Mayul, on Friday rushed to announce Deng as the winner in a move seen by some as a way to try to avoid the verification of figures by the NEC team in Khartoum.
Preliminary results had shown that Angelina Teny got more than 68,000 votes while Taban Deng got over 44,000. The recently alleged inflated figures for Taban have more than tripled his previous votes counted by additional 56,000.
Teny had earlier warned that the electoral committee in Bentiu was under pressure by Deng to inflate his votes figures and announce him the winner.
A campaign spokesman for Teny, Yohanis Pouk, when asked about Deng’s victory, he said: “It was not a victory. Angelina Teny was leading by a difference of 24,000 votes and she was supposed to be announced the winner. So we were shocked when Taban Deng announced himself the winner on radio.”
“When he [Deng] saw people coming out in big numbers, he gave the order to shoot. Two people died immediately and four are injured and in hospital,” Pouk told Agence France Presse (AFP) by phone from Khartoum, adding that more people were wounded but that some ran away.
The decision by Teny, herself a senior member of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) to run as an independent against the official party candidate caused a stir within the former rebel movement and could further heighten tensions in the sensitive state.
Unity state, straddling the border between north and south Sudan, is one of the main oil-producing regions in a country whose crude output stands at around 480,000 barrels per day.
A referendum on southern independence is due to take place next year.

Sorry for the death escalated by power greed and less SPLM loyal individual in the election. Why do the make protest while it’s democracy whereby you win or lose. Deng win why protest? This is rediculus,perhaps that is why they said it “Sensitive State”
Thanks honorable governor Taban Deng Gai for being the party and people choice to be re-elected again to your office. That is agreat move!
It is an insult for Khartoum goverment to called Unity State a ” sensitive State”.
No doubt about the honorable winning.
Thanks

Gatwech,
Now that the NEC has officially declared that the antiMachar, the only undisputed Nuer Leader Taban Deng Gai is the elected overnor of Unity State what are you going to do? The real question we need to know is what are you, Traitor Machar, militiamen Matip and Gatdet going to do now? We have defeated you guys in every battle field during the war and now we are defeating you in the political arena in your own backyards. All traitors and militiament defect to Khartoum now so that we have peace in South Sudan. Shame on you losers.
Next thing in our minds now is to get rid of that Traitor Machar. I am telling you all traitors that Machar will not be vice president for long. SPLM has to get rid of him and it better be done sooner rather then later. There is a plan in place for getting rid of Machar from vice presidency seat. You traitors will see it very soon.

Dear readers,
Just forget about the current demo-crazy in South Sudan.
God will not give true democratic transformation system and true development of South Sudan to the incompetent and coward Salvatore Kiir Miyerdit.
He doesn’t deserve this system to truly come under his administration!
God reserves that time for Dr. Riek Machar’s leadership in 2011 where both development (with sky scrappers, tall buildings replacing grass huts in every city and town, big high ways connecting every town through village in the South, shinning modern cities with all facilities available, rich in agriculture where hunger is a history, South Sudan Armed Forces with fighter jets, etc) and democracy (WITH FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS AND TRULY DEMOCRATICALLY CHOSEN LEADERS, ETC) shall flourish and people will be happy in a happy nation.
Now it is the time for thugs rulling as Prophet Ngundeng predicted that during this interim period he will rule South Sudan with “vultures”, please refer to his songs of predictions composed more than hundred years ago on the current political situation in Sudan.
These “vultures” include Taban Deng Gai as Salvatore’s team of “vultures” in the mess.
But Ngundeng said in order to push for change he would insert among the team of “vultures” a “spot of light” in the system and that is Dr. Riek Machar to keep the nation moving until the time for vultures has come to an end and his true leadership fully takes over.
So it is your time guys “vultures’ and enjoy it to the maximum but be assured that the clock is fast ticking. Don’t be surprised soon to hear that ooooops….it is over “vultures”!

i suggest a tribunal for taban deng by future governor of unity state or court. the crimes that taban committed are numerous ranging from theft, fraud, abuse of power, and now the killing of those three people in which it was reported that he personally ordered the police to shoot the peaceful protesters. that being said he will have two options if that happen either he will be fugitive from the state and live in any somewhereaway from the state because he being wanted as criminal or being put into prison and i prefer the last one.
and for those scavengers who are laughing and happy because taban was shamelessly announced as a winner i said those who laugh at the end laugh heartedly. taban have hyper inflated the votes for himself and he was helped by bribing the NEC, the state electoral committee, and those in Juba. the county by counties preliminary results are here:
County votes obtained by Angelina Teny Votes obtained by Taban
1- Mayom 17,o94 5,008
2- Rubkona 14,232 11,809
3- Panyinjiar 10,376 3,105
4- Koch 6,793 2,121
5- Mayiandit 7053 2,166
6- Abiemnom 785 3,602
7- Leer 9,243 3,443
8- Guit 2,919 12,854
9- Parieng with held with held

To Son of Man(Gat Raan) Mr. Gatwech
It is not yet over. That son of Bitch Taban Deng Gai has killed three people for their right.
If Taban Deng Gai steal that election from the queen Angelina Teny, he will follow those three people whom he killed invein very soon.
God is the witness of this election between Queen Angelina Teny and Taban Deng Gai.
Second, the reason why all Dinkas are supporting Taban Deng Gai is because he used to fuck their asshole in Ethiopia when Taban was a head of United Nation(UN).For example, Nyadeng and Salva wife and his daughter were all his girlsfriends.
The coward Dinkas alway like someone who fuck their asshole(Nhoake ni raam mi ngoth liel lien ni ciang) Forinstance, Taban Deng Gai was commanding commander operation against coward Dinkas that claimed the lives of many people and burning their homes into ground in 1993. Because Taban Deng and Dr. Riek taught them that lesson, they don’t want to loose Taban again.
Overall, Taban and Queen Angelina Teny are all great children of Nuer. Whatever, Taban Deng Gai will do will benefits Nuer. Not coward Dinkas. Remember cowardic Dinkas, Taban Deng Gai will never be Dinka , but he will be fucking all your ladies every time. Any way, if Taban steal the election from Queen Angelina Teny, something meracle will happen in that office by all means.
Thanks

Oh man… things are getting way out of control in Unity State. I’m personally neutral on this matter between Deng and Teny, I don’t know the facts, I think only a few of us are actually on the ground and can give us more information. But people need to calm down, these deaths are terrible. We need some leadership. Where are Riek, Salva, and Pagan at this critical time?

Riangnom,
You said it all brother.
I already prove that those of Naath/Nuer learned through hard way because they can not understand the easy/polite way. The don,t know that violence is always come last in any situation. Now, why did the make violence protest in Unity State always since the starting of election? They distrupted Salva Kiir during his compaign and they have been making loud sound about honorable Taban Deng for long but they failed that democracy is not about making noise,it’s about peaceful and polite atmosphere. Yeah, i know the learn in hard way. for example, the understand better “tit for tat” i deology. They don.t understand someone who practice peaceful mains at at all. Now, they will not make another protest because they heard the sound of hazardous in Unity State. Please. my advise to them is that someone who want to learn through hrad way always get it,and that is a fact in any situation.
Thanks
