Jonglei clashes kill 2 and wound 7 in further cattle raids
August 23, 2011 (BOR) – Fighting erupted in Jonglei state on Monday as unknown gunmen attacked Twic East County, killing two and injuring seven, in a cattle raid according to a South Sudan official.
The large Pajut cattle camp in Maar Payam [district] fell into an ambush believed to have been led by members of the Murle tribe who have been accused of numerous raids since Thursday.
Mr. Akoy said the attackers launched their attack at about 1:00pm local time in a grazing field far from villages in the area.
After 12 hours pursuing the the raiders in an attempt to retrieve the cattle, the youths who had been guarding the cattle returned to the area early on Tuesday morning, the commissioner said.
“We have the total of seven people injured and one person who was bitten by snake and two people killed. No cattle rescued”, Akoy reported.
Twic East youth leader, Kuir Ajak told Sudan Tribune that the man bitten by the snake and the six other injured people were brought to Bor Civil Hospital.
According to Ajak, Murle raiders are not only targeting Luo Nuer in response to a raid in June, but the whole of Jonglei and Central Equartoria state. Thursday’s attack on Uror County in Jonglei killed 58 people according to the UN.
However a group of officials from Jonglei told Sudan Tribune that the clashes in Uror county had resulted in 640 deaths, 861 people sustaining injuries, the kidnap of 208 children, the arson of 7,924 houses and the theft of 38,000 heads of cattle.
In another report, one man is reported to have been killed and 500 cows stolen from Bor cattle keepers at Paluer cattle camp within Mundari territory in Gameza payam, near the Jonglei-Central Equatoria state border on Saturday. The attackers, also believed to be Murle, are still being pursued.
Many cattle keepers from Bor South, comprising of Kolnyang, Anyidi and Makuach payam, have moved into Mundari land to avoid the deadly cattle disease, East Coast Fever, that has been killing cattle in Bor County since it appeared in April 2008.
A source from Panyangoor, the county headquarters told Sudan Tribune on Monday 22, that only a few people were herding the cattle when the attack occurred and predicted that it would be “hard to get them back”.
The final report from South Sudan’s military and officials from Uror County is yet to be submitted to the governor of Jonglei according to a source in Bor.
The county commissioner for Pibor County, where most Murle live, admitted that the clash in Uror County was carried out by Murle as a revenge for a June attack on the Murle by the Lou Nuer. He claimed not to be aware of the other attacks.
From mid to late June 15-30 Luo Nuer attacked Murle in a tit for tat raid, which local groups estimate killed about 900 people.
“My colleague, the Commissioner [Tut Puok Nyang] told me about the clash. This is true because they went to revenge the June attack”, said Mazee.
According to Mazee, his county is expecting a peace initiation team from the South Sudan Council of Churches on Wednesday after it meets the state government in Bor.
“I welcome the peaceful dialogue with our neighbors Nuer and Dinka Bor. This will help to end the current communal conflicts”, said Mazee.

Mr. Commissioner mazee,
Sometimes you denied Murle members did not attacked any community in other hand acknowledged that Murle have carried revenge attacks.
Mind to you this time, all Tribes in Jonglei state will going to organize themselves to get rid of Murle so that communities will enjoy the fruits of new nation in African.
Also, remember you are a big cattle raider, abductor, murder and idiot commissioner who could not judge, condemn his people like other community when somebody committed crime.
Two year ago, you retrieved many abducted children from Pibor County, send them to state to be integrated with parents, even two children are still unidentified and you hided abductors, you think your intelligence will not end this day because no more war with Khartoum regime.
Wishing Pibor County big retaliation from Lou-Nuer and other Tribes will occur before end of this year.
Believe me, Murle is now second Arabs in Jonglei state.

Its very paintful to hear daily death in Jonglei State.
The concrened citizens of States which experienced the same situation should ask them selves the following questions:
What do we think is the cause of cattle raiding?
Why this phenomenon in Jonglei, Unity,Warap and Lakes States?
Are these states the most poorest states in South Sudan?
What is the solution to this phenomenon?
People from the mentioned States should at all categories come together and ask them selves the above questions, i think if they answer these questions, then finally the solution can be easy to find.
Oh God touch the hearts of cattle raiders and those who don’t know the value of lives.
Cheers.

I discourage going to Nuer or Dinka homes to take revenge, but I vow to make Murle land a grave to all Jönköz when they come again. A jönköz is always a jönköz whether a primitive madingborer or urorer or whether they are the chief of staff, let them come. They only understand the language of war and guns. Never trust them

All that are happening in Jonglei state are the fualts of H.E. the governor. Jonglei is the most dangerious place ever in southern Sudan in term of insecurity.
I may go further to describe this as the carelessness of the governor or as lack of leadership capacity, I don’t know the ins and outs but kuol in the real sense is a war veteran who survive together with Dr. John; he should have learnt from Garang’s leadership style.
can you emagine a leader whose people are being killed brutally and not paying even a single visit to the scence, if this is a borderless tribalism that seiged him or if leadership is just a matter of warming the share I don’t know.
Jonglei state need to be look into properly and president should take immediate action, this state need to be declare a state of emergency for five months under the leadership of somebody else and the SPLA troups should be send there.
in my case, I don’t blame Lou nor do I blame Murle; all my blame fall on Kuol Manyang Juuk for his non-productive leadership which was elected in BOR, serve in BOR and will be removed in BOR not knowing the other nine counties.
the first killing last year in fangak county kuol never go there for comfort or condolence message to the people of fangak, this killing led to the lost of about one hundred lives.
the other killing also in fangak county this year which led to the lost of 300 lives and several wounded, Kuol also never go there for comfort.
again in Pigi county this year that brutal incident, he never go there to see the situation facing the civilians.
lastly this incident of Uror county which led to the lost of 640 lives, he did not go there.
all these report were being filed by the respective commissioners and brought to him, his only commend is “don’t send them to the media” why? why? why should our people die unknowingly? he doesn’t want our death to be known, why?
in the otherhand, those who are safe are displaced and they are a refugees with in their own state and the governor knows this but never visited the IDPs Camps.
this is what I want to bring into your notice that the blame is not on Lou nor Murle but whenever people lack proper leadership, they are likely to lost their way.

Here we go again….
The problem with addressing the Murle threat is one: the Murle rarely attack in organized whole community fashion. They do not do it like the Lou would do, when they come together and meticulously plan and execute a raid at a particular time. The Murle do it sporadically in small raiding groups. One group could be heading to Lou, another to Dinka Bor territory and another to Pochallah.
Even their own commissioner Mzee is normally not aware his people are out raiding! That is why the other day he was denying that the Murle were responsible for the massacre.
And now, the Murle, after carrying out the revenge attack now want to sit and talk peace??? Will the Lou really be that benevolent after losing so many casualties? Can the Murle at least guarantee they will return ALL the cattle they stole. And on top of that, pay more cattle for each person they killed? I doubt. But this may be the only peaceful way to break the vicious cycle of raids and revenge attacks.
Finally, anyone who has tried to go to Pibor county knows very well its inaccessibility. Not even a single decent road! Pibor needs urgent infrastructure; this will enhance security and our responsiveness when attacks occur.
Shallom to all South Sudan, and especially Jonglei State.

Dear Southerners.
Mr. commissioner should go to court or parliament to answer the Questions which required the minister of Defence and interior to come and explain more about the incident in Jonglei.
According to him ,he report more therefore ,he should also answer more.
To Mr.commissioner ,please take courage and go to Parliament to answer them whatever questions they would bullet you though.
To those who write something ill to the two ministers, the cattle raided are given to them.
ask the community chief and lodge whatever insult you want to ensure doing.

Thanx Philipdit for the clarification. Excuse some people from generalising that all cattle-keepers are raiders. Apparently we could still have cattle and remain peaceful people … if only we could change the mindset of some people …

Kuack yak,
100% right, Kuol rigged election and caused defect of Athor that claimed life of Hundreds and distabilized the region.Again Kuol is now sitting in Bor town building hotels and threaten civilians using his red eye and to cover his corruption.This man from our community will change nothing eventhough SPLM stated that party is for change.Kuol must go.He killed Hero Mr.Thon Ayii Jok while looting public fund and owned many piece of lands in Bor while returnees from exile and north get no land to start building tukuls for sheltering in this wet season.
One question came to my mind,Why people of Bor leave kuol manyang exercising corruption and in 1986,he killed Thon Ayii and many others because of cows and he is now looting Pounds and dollars that is more valuable than cows?.He can be kill or face legal system.
When will Bor people and jonglei as whole confront greedy leader.
Thanks.

Dear Watchout,
My dear brother, I personally, felt shocked when I saw Kuol Manyang planting trees, while some part of his state (Uror county and Twic East county) are mourning. It’s so painful as a leader you can not do development while your people are in lugubrious situation. If I can quoted what is written in the Bible that, if one part of your body has got some pain, the whole body will suffer. Kuol is not feeling that pain. Shame on him.
