Seven killed in clash between communities from Lakes and W. Equatoria
By Manyang Mayom
March 14, 2011 (RUMBEK) – Clashes between pastoralists of Yirol West county of Lakes state and agriculturalists from Mvollo county of Western Equatoria have killed seven and injured five, according to a local official.
Kulang called upon the “people of Western Equatoria and Lakes state government to address this situation urgently – we are one party people and one system people for South Sudan – we are one constitution with people of Western Equatoria, no need to kill ourselves”.
South Sudan is due to become independent in July after a referendum earlier this year, as part of a 2005 peace deal with Khartoum. Despite the peace agreement violence, often related to cattle raiding, is still common in South Sudan with still well armed communities competing for resources.
He told Sudan Tribune that the fighting erupted after a policeman, Mathet Dak Abongbar, was “shot dead on his motorcycle.” Young men from Yirol West have blamed the murder of members of the Jur tribe from Mvollo county, Wanyin said.
On Sunday the governor of Lakes state Chol Tong Mayay and Yirol West County commissioner Makur Kulang Liei visited the area and said that the situation has returned to normal.
Col. Santo Domic, the Lakes state security advisor to Lakes state’s governor said that the ongoing conflict around Mapuordit Payam of Yirol West County is a clash between two cultures and not due to cattle raiding rustling.
He attributed the current tension to a failure in reconciliation between the two cultures.
The security official stated that Lakes government has deployed some 300 security officers to a joint force combined with Western Equatoria forces to the area to study the root causes of the conflict.
He appealed to the people of South Sudan to change their mindset of using violence as a way of resolving issues, proposing universal education that empowers people to realize the negative effects of violence. He called for unity of the different tribes of South Sudan, insisting that dialogue is the best way to resolve differences.

The Dinkas are always the cause of problems in South Sudan.Why can’t you people live in peaceful way? Don’t you have your own land? What is the difference of the land you have compared to other non dinka tribes? See what’s now happening in Jongolei.

Giving criticism about a problem that has already erupted is not a solution Mr. anti-Dinkas, The problem has already come and the best we can all do is to talk to our people on both sides to stop this madness. There is no way we can develop if we start talking ill about oursleves and inciting fights by saying the Dinkas, the Jur , the Mundari, the Nuer etc are not good people.
Mr.Santo is very right by saying that the problem is a different problem and it could not be over cattle, nor is it over grazing land though it may be connected to such because the Jur of Mvolo and the other Jur elsewhere have been preaching about Dinkas occupying their land. This problem is not in Mvolo only but it is even in Yei, Maridi, Yambio, Mundri and even in Juba the capital of the south. The guys in Mvolo have not to be blamed because they are the immediate neighbors to the Dinkas and they are the best tool to start the propaganda.
The best thing we can all do is to go back to the people and talk to them on how the Dinkas, the Nuer, the Mundari and the Jur should sit down; solve their own problems on the table and look forward on how they should develop the young Nation ( Southern Sudan). If we cannot stop talking ill about our other brothers at home, our children will not change their attitudes towards the others. They have been taught how to hate and so they will go out with the same attitude and mentality and what will the outcome be? hatred and then conflict.

Dinkas listens through their anuses. they dont get things like ordinary humans. its a shame that they put a militia cowboy on the presidency. south sudan will be a night mare in the coming months under this idiots. Foolish majority. you only twist facts for your own interest. big liars in Southern sudan. no one can trust any of them God already regretted their creation. without brilliant leaders like Machar, southern Sudan should be like a cooking pot of human meat by now. they dont know anything. just loot loot and steal what doesn’t belong to them Idiots AKA shortsighted baboons.

DINKA, DINKA, everywhere dinka. What a cursed name. They are very stupid in the universe.
1. They are very dirty
2. They are illetrate even those who had been to school
3. Their cows might be reasoning better than them
4. They have failed to know the different between food crops and grass for animals.
5. they think more stupid than anything worse you might think of.
6. they are very black and their minds are black as well.
How can they just move everywhere with their animals grazing as if they are gods of the whole south sudan? They are spoiling the name of that peaciful State with their behaviour of aggressive approach to problems that they themselves cause.
They come to your farm with their animals, they allow them eat your foodcrops and find a way to kill you so that they can keep grazing on your farm, ARE THEY STUPID? Those creatures in sudan are not people they are black cows keeping white and red cows. If you need to call them; say either (SDT)Stupid Dinka Tribe or Simple as Cows.
They are very very stupid ooooooooooo

Is Pagan comming again with his fake documents to accuse the Jallaba.
It is the mismangment of the GOSS which is causing all of this loss of innocent life.
The oil money is looooooooooooooted by thugs like Pagan and there is no development, food or progress. PEOPLE will fight and compete for resources!

Mohamed Ali, I congratulate for playing your silly trick. The documents that were presented by Pagan were corrects. Your quest for arming traitors to create instability in the Southern Sudan is not going to work. The Southern Sudanese are stronger than before and very aware of your tricks as revealed. The incident which occurred in Yirol has nothing do with GOSS management. The incident was ignited by misunderstanding among ordinary citizens of Yirol and Mvollo. Mohamed Ali, you would fool dummies and not me. I’m from Yirol but I’m not blaming the GOSS government until the administration fail to find a solution. I can tell that you are so eager to see the Southern Sudanese killing themselves to prove your falsie claims to International Communities that Southern Sudanese Cannot rule themselves. But that is not going to work. Thank for trying Mr. Master of Confusion.

Coward Dinka
You are not a human being, but an animals with no tail between your legs. That is the only one thing that differentiate you with your cows.
This time the Greater Equatorians will never forgive you again. Any mistake you make you will face the consequences.
All the tribes in South Sudan are sick and tired of you coward Dinka.
God give these Coward Animals tails so that they can joint their brothers like hygena and antelope in the forest.
God if Dinka can not differentiate the food crops and grass for animals, why don,t you give them tails and horns so that we can know that we are dealing with wild animals.
There are so many evidence that proved that Dinka are animals. In Juba, you can see them roaming from hotel to hotel looking for left over foods like dogs. You can see them begging people in the street and in the public places foods.
What kind of people are they?. Only God knows when Dinka will think like human being.
Thanks
