    when did they know that Lake State is stabilize while they were requesting more armies in the region last week. insecurity in the region should not be stabilized in one week. This is just because they release the masterminded that killed many civilian and they wanted to cover up some injustice. some people are trying to be smarted in the South Sudan like the judge that released the killer because he think that he above kiir.

    LOL! I can’t believe that, the authority needs to do more in order to encourage the investors because no one wants to live in a hostile community like that, the people of lakes State must learn from others and they should not complain when things are not getting at their places.

    Dear Citizen of Lakes State,
    This is very good moved if you eradicate killing of innocent children and women for no reason for long time and you have spoil the names of Dinka tribe in the South Sudan your brothers are blaming you because you are not civilized and i don,t know when you will civilize to stop doing things that are considered harmful to you and your Government in the State ,
    Another reason you don’t need other tribes to marry from your daughter that is why you raised high price of dowry and you kill people if its not implemented in the way you want this is not the way people run the state , you insist of changing your beliefs and culture that can kill you and adapts the culture which can accommodate every body in your land ,other wise iwill invite most of you to come to our state Northern bahar el gazal -Aweil to see the way people behave with different people from different States in the South Sudan led your boys and girls pray too mush asking Allah in heaven to send durable and lasting peace to your State,
    Abraham 5

    Dear Readers, I agree with some people who criticising this article. Mayek Dongbil is the man of his words. I know him very well since we were in the bush.

    I just want to remind you that this story has no autheniticity simply it is not mentioned by Manyang Mayom where was Mayek talking, was it an interview or police gathering? I know Manyang heard police officers conversing in the station and he listen to conversation and make story out of it. If any of us asked Mayek whether he has made statement to media he will tell you no. Mayek doesn’t like talking with media leave alone talking with Manyang on security issues.

    Mayek cannot contradict the governor statement that 6,000 SPLA troops will be deployed in Lakes state due to insecurity since when can Mayek prove to public that security is stable in the state. The governor of Lakes state is in Warrap state and they are going to talk about insecurity and disarmament modalities. please my dear Manyang you don’t use snopy journalism of selling stories that are not verified. I know Manyang being a new Director of Radio FM 98 in Lakes state make him tried to create stories out of blue to show to the state authorities he is protecting government and to let the public knows that the government working well. Please people don’t listen to such stories from Rumbek things are not good at all. Mayek never talked with Manyang treat this story with it contempt.

    Thanks

    To. Victor

    Where are we going? Start cleaning your house before calling for the investors; the Lake State in general term is a place where the hatred and nepotism is practices in the daily basic since 1960; ask those who were studied at that period in Rumbek secondary school; they will tell you how the people of Lake State behavior vis-à-vis other tribes, like Equatorians, Dinka from different areas of South and the rest of the tribes respectively; they will tell you bad story about that State.

    Further, during the Secretariats of the SPLM Government in Rumbek in 2003-2005; the citizens of Lake State has been treated their compatriots from different tribes like the Foreigners using the maximum violence everyday. Looted and raped Equatorian women who had settled their business in Rumbek Town at the same time killed their men until now a day.

    Well let me answer the question of victor Sani, hereinafter your answer; if the Honorable Judge released the prisoners; it means that into law, no person shall be arrested without reasonable ground and therefore the role of the Judge is to inspect the arrested person whom their right has been violated by the authority or individuals. According to my analyses of the fact and if we are doing the really principle of the doctrine of the rule of Law or the natural Justice, the Honorable Judge has done the right decision to released the innocents people from the custody of the predatory. Secondly don’t mix the politics with the Justice; you will be out of your brain.this area is complicate for you to understannd it principles.

    Dear readers, Those of Lakes State in the way i do see them, God has created them to be seen like normal human being, but in the actual sense there is some thing missiong in them that is why you do see them they behave differetly from the way people behave among themselves on this world. Even if you take Lakes state community member to America or any where on this world, still he will not change his bad behaviours. They are the people who don’t learnt new style of living with different people, they every like that, they don’t at all to want change their bad characterizations. Looked, they were been killing themselves like nothing and their government don’t make any intervention to the situation and sent whoever was been caught has hand in the killing of innocent people to be judged throgh juridiction way for others also to see as an example to refrained themselves from such a crimes. The reason is that those whom are working in the Lakes State government are not netural they used to take side instead to be the one to demonstrates that against their community then they are the one whom encouraging the killing within the area. That police officer is lying he doesn’t know what he was talking about he should be under influent of beer/ Alcholic. What make the security situation to be stable in Lakes State? Iam doubting of that unless i called some one who is on ground there to tell me the truth, otherwise i don’t thing that the mad community of Lakes State can stop their bad behaviours even if you give them whatever they never seen in their lives.

    Dinka Dominated-SPLA,

    I started with your name that you created in this website, it show that you are just somebody that does not know anything about law. I which I could lock you out in this website and sent you back to school. If you did not know what had happened last week about the released of dangerous man that killed thousands of civilians in lake State then shut up and learn how to read my brother. They said that if you talked to the “fool then you will be fooled”. I’m sorry to talk to you in this website.

    Lakes States is 995% dinka so what are you talking about. Abuses dinaks right left and centre will not solve our problem. Poor dinakas -who are themselves so much divided- are also victims. They are killing themselves in Lakes and Warap States .

    It is unwise for the authorities in Lakes States to rush to the conclusion.
    Problem of insecurity in Lakes State is deeper and cannot be solved by a statement of Lt-Colonel Moses Mayek Dongbil.
    The first thing that those in charge of this troubled State, should do is to establish the causes of insecurity and violence and work to tackle it from its roots.
    Lot of people have spoken about issues of management of justice in the State. It is said for example that criminal and law breakers are allowed to escape from detention, which raised questions about the security of Rumbek prison and other prisons in the State. It is also claimed that people who have committed serious crimes- like murder- are allowed out. This in addition to the problems of cattle raiders within the state and from the other states
    So if the authorities in Lakes State are to be taken seriously, more should be done to tackle the causes of insecurity.
