Over 50 people killed in fresh clashes in Warrap state – S. Sudan offical

June 13, 2011 (TURALEI, Warrap State) – Over 50 people have been killed in fresh clashes between armed groups allegedly associated with rebel groups and local police in Tonj North County of Warrap State, senior officials from South Sudan said on Monday.

“Armed groups sighted as coming from Unity State, probably loyal to rebel groups, launched an attack in one of the villages in Tonj North County, Warrap State. The fighting took place in Akop locality”, said General Anthony Bol Madut, former governor of Warrap state and currently a senior security advisor in the ministry of internal affairs of the Government of South Sudan (GoSS).

Madut, who spoke to Sudan Tribune from Juba, the capital of South Sudan, said he has heard some people were killed and several others sustained injuries as cattle and other properties were taken.

“This is a fresh incident. There is no clear information of how many people have been killed. The reports which are still coming indicate that the fighting was in progress and that it is hard to get the details of the incident”, he further said.

Yel Mayar, a deputy governor of Warrap state government said 58 people were killed and several injured, including local police and home guards. “Yes it is true there was an attack on the area today but it was contained”, said Mayar.

“Some armed elements suspected to be loyal to rebel groups operating in the neighbouring Unity State carried out another heavy attack in Akop village today. They killed more than 24 innocent civilians and 13 policemen and two home guards. Some of them were also killed in the fighting that pushed them away from the area. 19 dead bodies on the side of the attackers were discovered”, explained Mayar.

“It was a surprise attack carried out by specialists. They were properly organised in carrying out the attacks. They avoided areas where there are police posts. They also avoided areas they knew have SPLA [Sudan People’s Liberation Army] forces.

“What they do, those who are specialized in cattle raiding, they send individuals to do an assessment to know where there are cows before they come for an attack. They send people who speak Dinka and people who had no tribal marks to avoid identification. These people are specialists in conducting attacks. They pretend to be members of the same tribe from different clan and pretend to be people looking for cows they have lost in the village during movement of cattle from one camp to the other”, said Mayar.

Gatluak Pec, a member of bordering Unity state’s Legislative Assembly denied knowledge of citizens of his state carrying out cattle raids in Warrap state.
“I talked to many people including the Panjiar County commissioner today in my constituency and nobody has told me anything about this incident”, said Pec.

He added that it was “possible some rebels carried out” the attack.

    Let us get Independence first.

    Riek Machar Teny and Salva Kiir Manyardit must be remove after Southern Sudan’s independence.

    Peter Gadate Yaka and many others Nuers defection were having planning to eliminate Dinkas societies and looting Dinka properties that is all about what they call rebllion and we are going to accept very soon this behaviors on the side of Nuer. Instead people should works together for peaceful as a nation and for the common good.

    Again let us get Southern Sudan independence first and the problem for Nuers defectionism will be the second whether Salva Kiir wanted or not. You can not polite with primitiveness people who desperate to loots on others people’s properties. There is nothing difficult in Dinka Bahr al Ghazal. This Nuer problem is just a matter of time and poor leadership from Salva Kiir Manyardit who have sold out Dinka societies so that, he will continues leading with Riek Machar the massive killer of 1991, in Bor community.

    Aleu,
    You have a point to criticise your Uncle Salva or brother what have you on his poor leadership, but you failed to Identified who is worst killer of you the Warrap state now. Is not Nuer who killed you, is your brother Abdul Begi who left Juba to fight Salva, how could you missed this?
    you are destroying the country you specially Dinka Barelghazal and yet you never noticed this, always blaming Nuer with your weaknesses. rebels are recruited by Kiir’s poor governence, nepotism and tribal leadership, yet you the poor Barelghazal people don’t see this. Ha, go and kill the Nuer if you will not come back with bloody nose.

    even if it will be overthrow, it will be for the best African sudanese not for Arab. No Rebel would be able to over throw SPLA; except SPLA them might will changed inside itself. Garang died and SPLA still run by others remain behind alive.

    It will be worst for Arab if the south it Change,it will replace by people that going to Remove Arab in North Africa.

    We known you guys for being a people of cover up more crimes, the people of mass destruction, people who are easily to create a defection, the people who have no friends around them, the people who loots properties of others. What are you trying to tell me with all these a shameful and even the Foreigners have been wondering what a bad tribe Nuer at the time Lou Nuer fighting with other Nuer community just of because of U.N. Food.

    It is not Ayii, this is a Gatdate forces attacking civilians. This article mention that, there are 19 bodies remains and have been found on the attackers side and they were been Identify as Gatdate forces. I think Nuer will finishing because of looting on the Cows. Topoas tribe they are become good people than even Nuer tribe. Nuer tribe is so a shame in the eyes of Southern Sudanese for destruction which have no rest in Nuer regions.

    The people of Warrap State become the victims of their son Salva Kiir business with Taban Deng in Unity State. Salva Kiir has been feeding on the oil money of Bentiu since 2006 and that he a real thief.

    You people of Warrap State need to talk to your son to keep off from Unity State Resources as soon as possible.

    To all of you Barelghazals,
    I just wanted to make u sure that don’t point your dirty finger on Nuer, please point that dirty finger on your brother Abdul Begi and Kiir, Kiir is running around with cow boys hat leaving all his home mates behind to loot the revenues of the nation, you are all corrupted the government but you never realized that, your Islamic brother mentally retarded Abdul Begi is running around weighing war against Kiir because he was prevented to established Islamic laws inside South Sudan Parliament, yet you can not see him, you are only looking at Nuer.
    George Bol, what kind of People are you Dinka Barelghazal? You have mentioned the 1991, you thought that you fought with Nuer, what a lair, you were only fighting Jiech en Boor from Lou Nuer and Fangak then you are still singing that you fought with Nuer.If you want to fight Nuer now, try it, you will really face Nuer this time not Lou nuer. Riek Machar was crying in tear looking for Peaceful means to solve the problem with rebells, however your cowboy Salva was Nearly accussing Riek machar of colloborating with Rebells and opposition parties and yet today when confusions of many people roaming around with their weapons attacking villages comes a threat, you are crying against Nuer, what kind of short sighted community is Barelghazal people.You are so short sighted including your Ngok Kiir Mayardit of Abyei, Abyei boys are fating inside South Sudan government forgeting that they are in trouble, ha you Barelghazals, just go and do what you want,don’t cry against Nuer, do what you think is your right.

    Before peace which area around Bhar elghazal did you Nuer loot cattle and killed people like you are doing now? it is just b/c of peace where all civilian are disarmed and leave alone meanwhile we don’t have rebel who can supply them with guns like in unity state where there are a lot of rebels including their master minded Riek in Juba who work during day time as true leader but night on tribal issues
    Am telling you mice that if there was no BRGL no this government we fought with one heart one objective and one determination against Arabs any way enjoy today but make sure that today and tomorrow never make any difference

    Dinka and Nuer vs cattle.

    When will you people value your life over cattle? killing over cattle, killing over cattle. It is as if cattle has made you people mad.

    I wonder if these two communities are aware of what they are doing? My advise is don’t allow yourselves to be cattle worshipers indirectly.

    People of Bhar El Gazalle get to know that you are arguing with the Northern Nationals in disguise of Nuer such as Malual Dungdit, Kon Ajith Deng. The list is infinity, please cease argument, we are men alone as we are!
    Retaliation was done in Abyei by arab and it has succeeded. How about us?! Don’t we’ve arms to shoot?! We do have enough to make another Somali here in muddy Nuer village, dirty people playing innocent Bhar El Gazallese women and children.
    We do love Peace but when it reach our neck, man that place gonna hurt you seriously. We shall see the winners in place.

    Coward Jaang/Slaves,

    The coward Jurs (Jaang, Teet, Bar, Chai…), had no recourse other than withdrawal. Under these circumstances, the rapid Nuer Warriors Conquest/occupation of the vast Western Dinka region [Mayom, Mankien…], Southern Dinka region [Nyuong Nuer territory], Central Dinka region [Fangak, Ayod, Waat…], Eastern Dinka, Anyuak and Burun region [Eastern Jikany Nuer and Lou Nuer territory] is difficult to understand.

    The discipline of Nuer Warriors forces is also demonstrated by a remarkable capacity of continues to press and assault while sustaining very heavy casualties. It is also quite clear that Nuer military domination of the coward Jaang/Slaves and other Jurs was grounded in their capacity to field a numberical superior fighting force, and in the organizational features through which mobilization on a large scale was effective. Other aspects of the Nuer advatage were secondary and derivative. Nuer Warriors tactics are relatively simple and straightforward.

    Had the Mighty Nuer Warriors ever wished to occupy the whole greater Upper Nile, from Renk to Mading Bor and from Ruweng-Abiemnhom to Buma/Pibor-Gambella, it seems unlikely the other coward Jurs [Jaang, Teet, Bar, Chai…] could have stopped them.

    people are confronting Arab and you ploting against Jang.
    Jieng has never think as Naath and everyone south are their enemy. But these accumulation of Jaang threat will turn Jaang to criminal act Naath as you are alway preaching.

    Jaang see Naath lazy criminal people who does not know who is his brothers. Love food to Robbed Neighbour and Naath does not how to feed themselves. That why alway looking to robbed others people.

    Jaang are unders control by law of the Country,they no Naath are brothers. but if they Jaang lost out of patient all the kueiCieng Naath,Pangak and Ayod will Be deplace to Gambella areas. please stopped your evile deed.

    Jaang that fight with Nuer alway subgroup bordering Nuer. if all Jaang took the Teeng/Muud will be Genocite to against Naath. If the criminal of Barelgazal are unleash to killed and eat some of Naath.

    To all of you above,
    I felt shame of myself when I uttered hash words singled out Barelghazal community, but I was persuaded by some languages that did not make sense to me. We the generation must think wisely, I like Dr.machar saying the war trauma is no less surrounding the war left over, we are all in that circle, our country had been in difficult phase and yet still going the same difficult phase. Let we the generation stop looking at the names of our tribes rather holding the individuals responsible for their own wrong doings. The poor Barelghazal communities and Nuer who are depending on cattles have nothing to do with Government in Juba, what ever they paid price for is not their mistake rather the poor government in Juba. Please we are not fighting and will never fight as Nuer and Dinka, let fight only fight the corruption and how can we heal these delussions of war trauma among others.
    No war, let walk the same phase
    God bless all of u

    This senseless killing of civilians has nothing to do with the God’s Army SSLA under the leadership of his excellency General Peter Gaddeit of Naath.

    Please stop pointing fingers at SSLA for the crimes its didn’t commit. If there is such a killing it must has been committed by the SPLA militia whose members are buch of immortals and lack military professionalism, plus SPLA syndicates are known for their indiscriminate and senseless firing at everything moving when attacking their enemy.

    Few unfortunate example of SPLA world record on massacring civilians is it’s recent massacre of Nuer civilians in Kaldak, Fangak and Mayoum and senseless and ruthless killing of sholo in GUNR, where the militia burned down more than 1000s homes in rampage when the militia was defeated by SAF friends in Abyei town of Northern Sudan.

    Above all, suppose SSLA did attack and kill civilians, can any one logically explain why a great army like SSLA could just attack unarmed civilians.
    Let us admit the truth, those who fought SSLA were not civilians but SPLA militiamen. Otherwise, SSLA did not involve in the fighting at all, it must be SPLA that fought with civilians when its memebers tried to loot civilians like usual but when those resisted the looting, then the militia started to kill them.

    Worning!!

    Please try to refrain from reporting baseless allegations and controversial topics like this one, specially, the incidents about intertribal wars as this adds nothing but it only deepen the divisions among of our peaceful tribes.

    It is wise to keep our differences at political level as exporting them to our locals will only inflame tribaliwm which may lead to genocides.

    Rwanda genocide has a tribal link as it was ignited when Rwandan president from Huttu tribe was killed by Tutsi rebel led by the incumbent Rwandan president and after all the innocent Tutsi civilians were the one that paid the ultimate cost or price for the crime they didn’t commit.

    We, Southern Sudanese will never be united unless we refrain from tribalism and prejudice.
