Speaking to the Sudan Tribune by phone on Tuesday after taking the oath of office in Bor, Mr. Manyang said the “unity of our people” is paramount to attaining peace and “attract investors”.

“In order for us to stabilize and develop our state we need to promote security,” he said. “Security is above everything and we should not listen to allegations being broadcasted over radio about the advancement of Athor (Deng) to Bor and that he has heavy arms.”

“He has no arms,” he reaffirmed.

Mr. Manyang observed that Athor threats to attack Bor do not amount to causing panic among the town residents “because I can sit in my house and speak in my house that I will attack such a place and (media) broadcast”.

The governor calls for what he calls as “the unity of our people to maintain peace and prepare for referendum on self-determination due next January. On job creation, Kuol says “unemployment is insecurity. When we make peace, we make (our state) attractive for (foreign) investors.”

Southern Sudan minister of information rapped Miraya FM for airing an interview with George Athor, a former SPLA who rebelled after losing in gubernatorial elections in Jonglei last month.

During the interview, the renegade general threatened to attack Jonglei capital Jonglei.

    Media is the one that spectulating the news that Mr. Athor is possibly matching toward Bortown with the aim of toppling State’s Government and Undermining Southern government for its failed management as well. That is a political iniquity. It is good that you reasured State’s citizens through your position as governor, by clarifying those flying bias, non-existing news with no where to be found. The media and the wish foil individuals will never win devil’s heart. Let them wish what they wish without a major concern in the State. Give citizens some briefings on weekly basis in order for them to have a safety assurance on the matter.

    I Have to give you thank for the victory Mr. Koul Manyang.
    Welcome to the seat and impact citizens’ lives like you always do through you hard work. You give them what they did vote for you. Make sure you display your qualities in what they want you to do. Be a doer like you had been during the war, and that will make things easier for you and your subordinates, likewise.

    To Coward Dinka Bors
    Wy don’t you go and fight with LT. General George Athor instead of talking like women? Look at you coward Dinka Bors with stupid mark that look like chicken legs on your faces.

    Folks no Dinkas commanders from SPLA can fight with LT. General George Athor Deng, unless is from Nuer, Shuluk or Greater Equatoria.

    Thanks

    Indeed George Athor needs Medication; How can he terrorize the very people he wants to rule. His repeated statements (“I will attack Bor ” I will attack Bor “,I will attack Bor” ,I will attack Bor ” ,”I will attack Bor” ) tell me the guy is a real terrorist.
