South Sudan Army says contained fighting in greater Upper Nile, 165 killed
April 25 2011 (WAU) – Government of South Sudan on Monday said it contained clashes which simultaneously erupted in the three states of Greater Upper Nile State, with rebel groups adding 165 people were killed in the fighting.
Officials, interviewed by Sudan Tribune, said the fighting with Tanginya erupted at Kaldak assembly area on Saturday over the killing of a senior officer of the militia leader after attempts to persuade him accept integration of his forces without giving conditions.
“Yes, there was a fighting on Saturday morning but it has been contained. The situation is now under controlled, said Brigadier General Malaak Ayuen, head of SPLA public relations and information.
Ayuen said a total 165 fighters have been lost in the clashes between south Sudan’s army and Tanginya’s forces. “At the moment we have information that 165 fighters have been lost in the series of fighting involving SPLA soldiers against forces loyal to two militias leaders in Jonglei and Unity states,” he said.
“In the fighting which occurred on Saturday in Kaldak, the SPLA lost 7 soldiers and 57 rebels were killed. And in the fighting in Unity state (with Peter Gadet ), we have lost 26 SPLA soldiers and at least 70 rebels have been killed, probably more,” said Ayuen.
He added the figures did not include a clash on Sunday when the SPLA launched what he termed as a “hot pursuit” against forces loyal to Peter Gadet, resulting into cashing them toward the border with the north in the area.
He said over one hundred people were killed in the clashes with Peter Gadet since Tuesday last week. “The fighting in Unity State has claimed a lot of lives on both sides. So far, we have reports indicating that 101 people have been in the fighting which occurred in Unity State alone.”
South Sudanese voted overwhelmingly in January to separate from the north. The January referendum was part of the 2005 peace agreement which the Southern rebel and the Sudan government signed in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi to end decades of civil war.
However, the post election violence raises fear among the ordinary people that it would undermine the peace process if it continues without being addressed before independence.
The South Sudan army, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), experienced of armed confrontation with at least seven rebel groups besides routine traditional tribal conflicts mostly practiced by cattle-keepers.
Senior officials from the South Sudan’s governing party, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement, have repeatedly accused Khartoum of supporting and mobilizing the militias against Juba to create instability and keep the south weak and reliant on the north’s oil infrastructure. Khartoum denies the allegations.
Ayuen said Tang surrendered himself with at least 1,300 fighters and made no comment on whether Tang would still be covered by amnesty which the president of south Sudan offered to all rebels in October last year or not.
However, Gabriel Tanginya reported voluntarily himself to the SPLA saying he wants to continue the reintegration process of his forces in the South Sudan army, interrupted by the “unexpected” clashes on Saturday at Kaldak assembly area in Jonglei state.
SPLA sources yesterday denied that they started the fighting against the militia leader. The South Sudan army said when SPLA officers arrived to the assembly area to deliver a letter from Slava Kiir to Gabriel Tang unidentified person shot a bullet in the outskirts of the area causing confusion which erupted into clashes between the two forces.
James Maluit Ruea, commissioner of Fangak County; Jonglei State, said in an interview with Sudan Tribune on Monday that he does not know the actual cause of what triggered the Saturday’s fighting.
“I truly do not know the actual cause of fighting. These are military issues,” he said. “Military issues are always complicated as they are connected to security and safety, so I do not know the actual cause”, further said commissioner Ruei declining additional comments.
However, a senior administrative officer who requested to remain anonymous said the fighting was triggered by the killing of a senior officer from Tanginye’s froces, three days before the fighting took place.
“The fighting was triggered by the killing of a senior officer on the side of the Gabriel Tanginye three days before the fighting occurred over observations of the continued recruitment of the local populations into the designated Assembly areas. The deceased officer was accused of mobilizing local population to accept recruitment. The other contributing reasons were reservations of Gabriel Tanginya over integration of his forces”.
He said the fighting which broke out yesterday between 8:30 and 9:00 AM indicates failure on the two sides to reach any consensus over details of the integration.
“The fighting which took place yesterday is a clear indication that the two sides have failed to reach any consensus after attempts to persuade Gabriel to reconsider his position on some of the demands. One of the demands was the need to integrate forces of Tanginye into the SPLA with their current ranks”.
“I think this is where they have not been able to reach a consensus since discussions started two months ago,” the official said, confirming that over 57 people were killed as several others sustained serious gunshots. I do not have complete details of the clashes but a lot of people have been killed. I personally attended burial of 34 soldiers who fought on both sides”.
He said most of those who took part in the clash hailed from the same area.
“You see those who participated in yesterday’s fighting are from the same section and in the same area. Majority of the people are from Fangak and the neighboring communities. So those who were killed fighting either as SPLA soldiers or on the side of Gabriel Tanginye are buried in the same villages, he said.
Ruei Kok Ruei, an administrative officer with international relief organization, said in a separate interview with Sudan Tribune in Malakal town, capital of Upper Nile State, he saw seven wounded soldiers being rushed in a police ambulance to Malakal teaching hospital from where the fighting took.
A minister in the government of south Sudan in Juba who did not want to be named said the clash which took place in Kaldak with forces of Gabriel Tanginya in the assembly area on Saturday was a test of the SPLA strength by the enemies of peace.
“Khartoum is fighting us with proxy militia with intention to sabotage hoisting flag of the new nation. This is not true. It is their false. We will raise our flag come 9th of July whether it will rain blood or shine with automatic rocket missiles,” he said.
“What was happening last week was nothing but attempt by Khartoum to test our strength. They thought they would take Mankien and Mayom but it was unfortunate that they did not achieve their dream.”
“Instead our forces expelled them from Mankien and gained control of the whole area. There are no forces of Gadet in the area as we speak. They have been expelled and some of them were captured and are being held as war captives,” he explained.
The minister went to add that South Sudan army is now in control of the region in areas where the fighting was reported to have taken place.
“At the moment, there are no forces of the rebel groups. Gadet has been expelled
“Our forces were also attacked by forces of Gabriel Tanginya. They attacked position of our soldiers so our soldiers fired back resulting into the killing of senior officers”.
“57 were killed and several others were seriously wounded from them. Gabriel Tanginye was personally involved in the fighting but narrowly survived because he ran away to Kolnyang after our forces overran his headquarters”, explained the minister.
He said the cause of fighting was that Gabriel Tanginya refused integration and continue to recruit more recruits into the Assembly area from the local population even after he was a letter by South Sudan President General Salva Kiir Mayardit to come to Juba.
“This, he said, was a clear indication that he had hidden agenda which the regional government had discovered and so told him to stop recruitment from the local people and accept disarmament and integration without conditions but he did not listen because he was coordinating this recruitment process with other dissidents.”
Talks with general Gabriel Tanginye over the integration of his forces are stalled since last February. The SPLA asked him to accept their integration without any condition.
“We have been talking to him since February without success. He has been making nonsense by giving some conditions. Who is he to refuse disarmament and make these nonsense “, asked senior military officer who prefer to remain anonymous
He accused Tanginya of posing condition because of guns he received from Khartoum.
“Tanginya was complicating integration because he thinks he has guns. These guns were given to him by Khartoum with intention that he would come to destabilize the south like he always does.”
” He is now still being paid by Khartoum. That was they allowed him take weapons amounted on vehicles. We have now taken them and disarmed all his men so that we see what is behind these demands.”
However, officials from the government of south Sudan and who have family connection with Gabriel Tanginye said the fighting was neither ignited by forces loyal to Tanginye nor SPLA in the area but by unidentified groups.
“What happened on Saturday was an accident no side had knowledge about it.”
They said the incident was initiated by unknown group who fired at both Gabriel Tang and SPLA forces and disappear immediately after launching the attack.
“The SPLA Brig. Gen. Gatwec was shot right away and one of Tang’s officers was also shot dead by the same group. When the unknown gunmen started firing, everybody ran for a cover as usual,” explained a source who did not want to be named.
“Both sides suspected people who do not want integration of Tang’s forces. The same thing happened to George Athor when the GoSS Peace delegation visited him. There are people who feel threatened whenever there is peace. Neither the SPLA officer Gatwec nor Gabriel Tang was for war”, explained a senior SPLM member, who was talking to Sudan Tribune from Juba on Monday.

((He is now still being paid by Khartoum.))
Paid by Khartoum while he has already integrated and gave himself to the SPLA!The fighting was initiated by the SPLA and nor him.Did Khartoum also told the SPLA to start the fighting! Saying you donnot know how did the fighting started is reidiculous!

This is a lesson to both SPLA and militias. All militias’ leaders should no longer be allowed to serve in the military. Gabriel Tanganya if forgiven must not be allowed anymore to see guns; he should be under 24/7 365 national intelligent surveillance for the rest of his life. The same treatment should be accorded to Gatdet, Athor and other militias if they ever return to South Sudan either through peace deal or surrender.
South Sudan had learned enough from militias’ behavior since 1991 and we should not make the same mistakes we did before. SPLA should not wait till militias rebel first – the intelligent community should do it work well and a pre-empty operation be carried out against militias’ informers in Juba regardless of their position and tribes. We need to get rid of militias in South Sudan so that we can enjoy peace.

I know there are some people in the Govrnment of south sudan who are corrupted but not all Dinkas some Dinkas are poor like those in nuer communities some are corrupted and other are poor, and this dose not need a gun to fight, fight for what? just corruption don’t need killing of your own brother,
And by they way those who claim to fight for corruption are not educated but illiterate people that claime to be good leaders, what a shame/

Wow, wow, wow, now the readers are being confused by this too much propaganda warfare exercised by the spokesmen of the SPLA and the rebels. There has been an outbreak of telling lies by the spokesmen about winning of battles, chasing SPLA or rebels here and there and so forth. Now who is telling the truth? I understand that army do not tell the true side of their casualties. They always say less people were killed on their side and more people were killed on the enemy side. But this has been too much now with SPLA and rebels. They said they killed many generals there and that became a white lie. The rebels said they maintained control of Mankien and that has been said is also a lie.
Please, for public’s sake, tell abit of truth. Don’t lie too much on TV and newspapers. We are getting confused and will not trust you. Now Tanginya volunarily reported himself with more than 1,300 soldiers as Malaak said, yet he ignorantly called it a surrrender. Can you, Malaak, surrender with 1,300 soldiers with you ready to fight? I guess not.
I agree that he was simply reporting himself to continue with the reintegration process of his 5,000 soldiers. He was already with SPLA at Kaldak and shoul not be termed as enemy surrendering. He was just reporting himself back to the SPLA after the incident planned by a certain group that did not want 5,000 of his soldiers into the SPLA.

I can see that on an earlier posting , you are celebrating the death 165 human beings whom you call ” neur gangesters”
Those who celebrate death of others are the real treorrist! Whether they are neur, dinka, shulk or whatever , they are human beings and they deserve life, security and prosperity which they were being promised by the thugs of the SPLA.
Your celebration the death of neuer ,, whom you just hate and wish them death, and stereotyping neuer as different human beings of low quality, reflects your wrotten racist and tribalistic mentality!Neuer are great people who have their own culture and tradition which should be respected.They are very brave people and that should be taken into account , when you talk about killing them and fighting with them!
Those who donnot respect human life are the enemy of humanity , those are the real terrorist.
I am not going to discuss with you whether we are fake or genuine and I see this as a foolish and stupid discusion. There is no fake human being .If you think that your tribal origon makes you better or superior than any other human being , then I can call this mere stupidity and idiocity!Your value as a human being is determined by your respect to yourself and others and respect to human life and not by your race, tribe,colour or religion!
Your ignorance made you and easy victim to propoganda!

Those generals Gatdet & George Athor are dead men walking. Sooner or later SPLA will capture them & they’ll be charged for killing innocent people. George Athor shouldn’t let himself to be manipulated by Nuer food-lovers who don’t even care about their reputation.

You Nuer people should believe that Dinka will rule you by force, whether you like or not. You Nuers & Dinkas disagreed over meat, that’s why you nick named yourselves as Dinkas and Nuers but the same people. It seems Nuers still don’t like Dinkas but they will fail and they have already failed in so many attempts of coups.
Now, those of Rambang Deng & his friend who supports Ngundeng are astonished due to surrender of Gabriel Tang. Last week they were calling him mighty Nuer but he turns to be coward because he knows he is going to be killed by Dinkas.
Tang didn’t become militia because of bad governance in Juba but because of greed to get more food as he protects oil for Arabs long time in 80s.
So please Nuers do not blame your lame excuses on Dinkas but blame your Nuers guys who had been militias for the whole of their lives.

Be informed that Gabriel Tang has surrendered himself to SPLA and is now being protected from angry people in Malakal Palace Hotel.

Supporter of Naath Cause
South Sudan Army says contained fighting in greater Upper Nile, 165 killed
SPLA tribal militia must stop lying to the public. All these conflicting rumours here and there about the false claims of containment of General Tanginya and General Peter Gatdet Yaka of the mighty Naath adds nothing more than just a desperate attempt by the tribal militia to claim a false victory in order to silence the apprehensive Naath masses who are aiming for the real victory over the tribal Militia SPLA who want to topple the regime of the looters in the Dinka- occupied Juba, the capital of Greater Equatoria states to be, after the secession of the Greater Upper States from the Dinka dominated GoSS.
Question! Who gives SPLM and its military wing SPLA the right to pardon or award amnesty to other armed southern groups? Who is SPLM to talk about pardoning others and asks them to be integrated or absorbed into their militia as if SPLA militia has the monopoly of the Southern Sudan? Why people are accepting SPLA/M cheap and humiliating offer for their so-called amnesty or pardoning to their opponents? What happen the demands of those groups that caused them revolt against SPLM/A? Would SPLA/M accept amnesty from SAF during the struggle? if yes why did the militia turned down the offer by late Sudanese president Jaffer Numiery during 1980s? When SPLA/M talk of integrating or absorbing other southerners into their militia what does that means? Is southern Sudan owned by SPLA/M that is run by a one tribe namely the Dinka?
To me, there shouldn’t be something called integration into SPLA militia because they are militia just like any militia in southern Sudan, there a need to form a neutral southern army which not be loyal to any tribe or any political party, that army will be representative and reflect the diversity of the southern Sudanese (all tribes big or small will be there in variable numbers). SPLA stands for Sudan people liberation army, so what sense will that means after the secession of Southern Sudan beside that it is being run by Dinka tribe who claims to be it’s pioneers. So, really need form a southern army which be run by the nation of Republic of South!!!! Beside SPLA will a problematic because it will always be loyal to SPLM which means that Southern Sudan will be run exclusively SPLM i.e. one party system hence the Chinese and Cuba way of governing i.e. Leninists!! Anyone who love and wish people of the Southern any good luck must urge the SPLM/A to heed to these raised issues and change their agenda of privatising Southern Sudan for their self-centred benefit !!!!
Again, what sense it make for the nation to adopt a Flag of particular party as its flag? Why not tailoring a flag which is not linked to any party? Is it hard to create a flag for RoSS? Why the Garang head on the monies of RoSS to be? What make Garang outstanding and he was not the pioneer of Southern Movement which later become or renamed SPLA? Why not Gai Tut or Quota Atem or anyone else?
SPLM/A is full of controversies!! It will not survive if it doesn’t want to change the way it is handling the affairs of the GoSS. There should be talking about integrations into SPLA militia, instead we need to form an army of the RoSS that will grantee a free and pair competitions among various political parties, we also need to form a broad based government that will run the affairs of RoSS crystal clear transference, that will curb nepotism and corruption and create security and peace amongst the RoSS communities.
Other RoSS will be another Somalia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the last paragraph is where there are facts. There are people in southern sudan government who coordination with Khartoum traitors to destory the existing peace in Southern Sudan. They are just jealous of certain people who are now in position in Southern Sudan government. They want to destruct Southern Sudan because of their interest.
Look at the situation now. 57 people from the same area same as author did. people must be careful to stop follow rebels. This is a govrnment which have more power than anybody who to be rebel. People think SPLA still same SPLA in the bush. This is a nation army that capable to defeat enemy easily not certain group. They must be careful and avoid connection with enemy in Khartoum. the enemy in Khartoum need everyone in South to dead whether you are friend with them or not. We suppose to stop and stay peaceful in our country. Nothing better then that.

I hate to call you what you call yourself the so called Dinka dominated SPLA. Your name is negative and is what you comment. Grow up and be a good Dinka not a stupid Dinka. Your types ate the ones taking South backwards and I don’t see any difference between you and those who rebelled in the South. Stop dividing our people, we are all Southerners and there should be no room for those with tribal minds, they are taking South to hell.
Taking about wining or losing, remember those dieing on either sides are Southerners, your brothers and there is nothing to rejoce about.

first and foremost, i would like to convey my condolence to the families of deceased, may God rest their lives in peace!!
Dear Mrs Fearwoman or whatever name you called your self;
i wonder you called greater Dr Machar and Nuer as crazy people doesn’t know what they doing!!
look here:
1. peace deal would have not been signed if Nuer didnot said it or contributed Self-determination which you are enjoying corrupted its money.
2. if there were no Nuer, south would have been islamized by arabs because you the tribe claiming responsibilty are food lovers,seffish,arrogants, like slavery with lot of hatred and discrimination. but the Great naath used to embrace all the dignity of humankind.
3.juba became a place of shit/joke due to your barbared ideology you have just believe on your tribe only dinka,you looted a night,raping,killing,robbery the banks, and graping equatorian land by force while it was where you were hosted during you were chased by Great Naath in your areas and todays you claims the leadership of south, how would lead while you like; discrimination,loot/steal/robe and addicted selffishness in your gens/blood?
4. if there were no Nuer,others tribes would have not survived in your dirty hand guys.
let me tell you, Tangenya/Mabor declared himselves with their brigade to Southern Sudan due to peace deal which put it clearly that after referundom, malitias pertaining to south serving as SAF should be intergrated and you claim nonse that this group has not said the trut!! which trustworthiness are you looking for? you kill inoncent people for no reasons, is it because you hate nuer or what!
we shall teach you more lesson even if you are good in bribing foolish people to kill their tribemate/brother especially Gen.chief of staff.
no thanks at all to you corruptist you time came to an end.

Dear Malou Manyiel
It seem you ‘re not a trained SPLA member that’s why you talk of peace .peace doesn’t come without war first leave Dinka dominated SPLA alone to criticized any one who took arm against GOSS . Nuers are most dangerous elements in the south they don’t listen even if you give them your mother they won’t respect you. Look in 1991 theoretical coup of [Nasir] faction all Nuers joined hand with Arabs except James hoth with others 3 officers remained in the SPLA
Secondly this website is for criticism. Let any one write comments as he/she wish

The following people should go and preach to their mothers how they hate Nuer or Dinka:
1)Dinka Dominated SPLA
2)Liberator
3)Gatwech
4)Omoni Jr
5)Kolnyang Youth
6)Naath Cause
7)Waucity
Go and tell your mother that you hate members of other tribes, don’t bring your ape-like behaviour to this website. You are all homo sapiens who have no sense of humanity, but full of venom and malice.

Coward Jaang/Slaves,
It’s your right to hate your number 1 enemy/cancer (Nuer) due to many factors: How many Jaang/Slaves were killed since 1800s? How many died of starvation? How many migrated to other areas? And how many were assimilated into Nuer community? How many young girls and children were taken as captives during 1991 incident?
Do you think greater Quateria will be a safe heaven when the last D-day comes between you coward Jaang/Slaves and Mighty Nuer Warriors?
Is this war, your war agaisnt Nuer community or just a war between South Sudan army/SPLA which composes of all tribes Nuer included and rebel groups?

hey Refuter hating Nuer is an invitation of numbering your days. not all Nuer are militia but mismanagement and corruption cause Nuer to be impatient because Nuer are more warrior. let us pray that our disaster after independence won’t break out in winter. mark my words and you will worship Nuer sooner the better.

Dear readers and viewers such a slave aka SPLA death of Dinka he is not so fluent in English writing which gives English professionals a sharp choke in the throat.
Let him use dinka vernacular since English is a very tall barrier to him. We are tired of his ungrammatical comments. He had better relax or else he will misrepresent dinka writers to a remote backwardness stage. I know this will take time for him to give in since his behaviours are of gelweng styles of yellowing the hair with soaked ash and he has to bear in mind that this is a professional forum not meant for any immature child like him. Let him go to school.

wht are you so negavite of each other all the time guys? are we all not from South Sudan?
Why are you holding the gradgess on each other like there’s no tomorrow?.
Nuer are Southern Sudanese just like Dinka or like any other tribe in Equatoria. WHY DON’T WE HAVE ONE VOICE WHICH’S TO CHEER UP THOSE WHOSE LIVES ARE LOST? WHY CAN’T YOU JUST SIT BACK AND RECALL THE LIFE FROM 1982-2005 AND BE THANKFULL THAT YOU MADE IT THROUGH?
SOME OF US WHO ARE READING THIS SITE HERE ARE DISGUSTED BY THE NAME CALLING!!!.
Is that you will leave to tell your great grandchildrend? Bout Nuer-Dinka relationship or about the Struggle the Southerners had?.
Am really Pleading to the management of the Sudan tribune to look into what can Ignight fire amongest the community of South Sudan through this writtings.
I beleive we all here have the sense of intergrity and humility to think twice before dropping any writting like this.
We need to repair the pass not to Tear it apart.
It took Rwanda a ginocide to realize that it was wrong instigating things like what people like “DINKA DOMINATE SPLA/M” and others have been writing here.
Now am just saying this Brotherly advice because i have seen what have happened localy in the South Sudanese community that i live in here. And Mark you “we” those who are writing live outside south Sudan(Most of us. All what you write here are interprataed at home in South Sudan into actions and this are the good reasons why we have violence erupting everywhere.
What you should do here is to come up with the Solutions into what we should do to help improve Both Nuer- Dinka relationship just like how you have lived with your Nuer-Dinka, Anyuak-Kachipo or whatever you live with in your community oputside S.Sudan. You are suppossed to be an example of Peace!! Infact an instrumet, atrumpet that call for Celebration of the New nation. We should be promoting Parties, Charities, Clubs like Wildlife, Scouts, First aids. St. John’s Ambulance, Promote those Young Musicians in every town that you are in!!. Infact the people who should have a problem right now should be the elders who say “man, how can i be Young again so Ican go to the party at night ?”. This should be the time that we should promote Inter-schools Competitions such as Drumer, Music festivals, Science competitions or even learn the New national anthem.
Dont you think you have a duty to play in the nation? HAVENT YOU SEEN FROM THOSE COUNTRIES YOU WENT TO?
HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO MISSLEAD YOUR OWN BROTHERS WHILE OTHERS ARE DEVELOPING?
WHY CAN’T YOU JUST LEARND FROM THE CONFERENCE THAT TOOK PLACE IN JUBA LATELY?
Anyways Mr. Moderator/s, please please please, you are the only one who can enforce this situation to be abolished.
am sorry if i caused an inconviniency.
Thank you.

Cowardic Dinka
I don’t think you have capability to rule Nuer by force for several reasons.
First of all, you are 100% cowardic tribe in South Sudan. If you can rule Nuer by force Dr. Riek can not be Vice president now for the lesson that Machar taught to you in 1991.
Remember the majority in SPLA are Nuer.So Nuers can defect from SPlA at any time they wantg and kill any one of you coward Dinka whom don’t want in SPLA, since SPLA is controlled by Nuer LT. Generals.
There is nothings you can do to son of man ( Gat raan LT. Genaeral Tang Ginye) Nobody from coward Dinka leaders can arrest the powerfull man in the World General Tang Ginye.

@ actiongat……….. Nothing click in this man mind other than food! Great Born to EAT! Be warned that eating is living your skull laughing sun. I wish to see you not eat and won’t kill your mother or your food gatherer for that matter. SPLA will crash all rebellion by force be it BIG hearted few Nuer individuals and their likes-the insatiables.We the true southerners will live in peace and harmony and under Salva Kiir leadership shall we prosper forever leaving out the idle minded few Nuers.
Actionwhatever, I am not a dinka or a nuer but a peace lover but what I based my Judgement on is why are Nuers constantly rebelling? What wrong has been done to them and not the rest of the tribes. I encourage James Hot not to listen to faint voices calling for dialogue. Another question the Nuer of the current government have to answer is this- if these groups rebelling excel (if wonders would have it for this matter) will they be involved in the new broad based government of the rebels,or will they rebel again and the cycle goes on till the coming of Jesus

I beseech that you people talk like professionals and grown up adults; I also encourage you to dispatch alleviating messages to create amicability among your people. All Southerners are your people regardless of what tribe they all belong. Why should you be talking about tribes instead of contributing condolences to your fallen brothers who should not die through the fire from their own brothers.
These rebel leaders should be held accountable for their malicious thoughts and actions. South Sudan should not give room to such hostile behaviors when many of us stive to see our nation emerge among stable nations.
Some of you talked about corruption, gun shot is not a solution to corruption. Let all fight against that corruption through the words of our mouth and our votes. Brothers, we need to cogitavely and deliberately think before we speak or act.
Thank you all and may you stand up for the goodness of our nation but not individual or tribal interest….
