Warrap cattle raiders kill 28 people in Unity state
September 12, 2011 (JUBA) – Thousands of heavily armed cattle raiders from Warrap state have launched attacks on a number of payams in Mayendit county in Unity state, killing at least 28 people, wounding 18 others and stealing over 100,000 heads of cattle, officials have said.
The Saturday evening raid was launched from Tonj East county of Warrap, according to the Mayandit commissioner, Simon Gatdit Jiek. He told the Sudan Tribune that the raiders targeted the three payams of Goang-Yaguar, Tharuath Bor and Daab-Lual. He said among the 28 killed eight were children while 13 were women.
The county commissioner confirmed that after some youth from his county followed the raiders, 680 cattle were recovered in a place called Manyang in Warap state. No casualties were reported on the side of the attackers.
The Unity state’s minister of information, Gideon Gatpan Thor, confirmed the incident on Monday, adding that the state government is doing all it can to calm the situation while assessing the impact of the attack.
Thor further said the government and the UN including the county authority all are making sure that an emergency assistance is provided to the local people who have been affected by the incidence.
Unlike Mayom County which has been in counter cross border attacks with Warrap state, it was the first time after independence of South Sudan on 9 July that the two counties of Tonj East in Warrap state and Mayendit County of Unity state have been involved in the cross border violence.

Dear readers
If facts Nuers youths are the once who attacked (aweng payam) of warrap state in the first light of Friday date 9/9/2011, killing armless civilians and run away with the cattle’s, therefore the youths of aweng went for revenge attack in next morning .
Mr. Commissioner you‘re suppose to be neutral don’t take side, well it’s known, all those attacks are being organized by commissioners and SPLA senior officers who are commanding forces in unity state and latter on turned to be civilians. But you are the once who can work on peace and stability in the area , change will not fall from the sky it’s you who can make a change, don’t expect white man to help you always .wake up guys .Bentiu will be the last even if you have natural resources .
I’m completely tied of murle and Nuer of Bentiu their live depend on looting stealing abduction raping and assumption with few educated elements who are working on how to fill their stomach only, rather than to work hard to change their peoples minds for example in Bentiu you can’t differentiate who is on Militias side or SPLA, today you get some one on SPLA side, tomorrow shifted again to militias side, they‘re after money and food only.

My condolence to the families of the victims may God give them comfort and may God bless the souls of the victims sorrow I express my symathy with you my dearest.
I am strongly condemn this serious incident which is against the life of innocents people mostly childern and women,no one can expecting such HEINOUS CRIMES may still being committing by our fellows brothers against their own people while we called as a Nation which is having a sovereign Country with its Government institutions.
So our people should thinks well now such same an incident recently was happened in Jonglei State.which was lost the hundreds of life.
As been quoted by Dr David de Chan in his article that is in the SouthSudan.net saying that there is deliberating genocide about Nuer Community by Dinkas Community but many of us were dismissing such an article we term it as its infliction injury to our society as we the people of South Sudan should have love to each others and to upholds the principle of UNITY and INTEGRITY of the Nation in order to move forward and build up our new Nation.
So now some people may rethinks for Dr David de Chan statement in this successive incidents.
I urge the Government of South Sudan to extinguish such tribals confusion in our Country no one should take the Law in his own hand.
So I will not wish for the retaliation for this injuries I hope Mr President Salva Kiir and his Governors should take serious actions to protect the life of innocents population and to avert any further criminal act.

Cattles raiding will stop unless the government think wisely to address the issues and caused, since there is a government.why did home state of Salva Kiir attack the home state of his vice Machar, I think the disagreement in some issues in Juba has reah home.
I sure our government will solved any problems in Country because I saw Salva Kiir yeserday in Nairobi Addressing insecurity and foods ciris in Somalia while her country men and women are dying in one way or another.
He know that there was a fighting between Nuer and Murle in Upper Nile Region which many people have doubt about Kiir leadership, where many analysits been asked why Kiir try to pertend to be focusing on international issues while the people of his country killing themsevles or dying of hunger like 384 recently reported have dead of hunger in Warrap state and he yeserday gave 1 millions dollar to Somalia famine.
What I know so far, even though all our communities are disarmed, the following communities will not accept the disarment;
1.Agaar Community
2. Murle Community
3. Didiga Community
4. Lacjang Community
5. Gogrial Community
because these communities do n,t accept the trust even though you brought god to them.

To answer the idiot naked .even if we kill ourselves at the community level as dinkas, we still have a common agenda at the national level ,in which your comment aimed at it. ,you wish all Dinkas to kill themselves so that you can have a chance in the political arena of new nation.your dreams will never come true till the day after.you will keep on shouting and wishing us to kill ourselves, and we still remain the same Dinkas who are the (monjieng) simply.

The fact that educated Dinka and uneducated Dinka are all the same can’t be denied, why can’t educated tell uneducated or teach them to stop killing each other like that?
We the people of South Sudan have died enough in wars, we don’t want to see our people still dying like that any more, we still have our enemies grinding their teeth against us .
I’m really very annoyed with all those educated Dinka and those who are holding top positions in the government because they are not doing enough to stop the killing of innocent lives rather they are just busy stealing and embezzling the development funds.
shame on you all.

My sincere condolences to the families of those killed in the ruthless fights. Death is not a friend of anyone and a normal human can not rejoice over it and esp when it’s occured among our fellow citizens. The poor children, who could have become our tommorow change agents, have just innocently lost their lives over other people’s selfish n glutonous interests. May their souls RIP.
To Naked Dinka,
You are not normal because if you were you could have refrained from such insane instigated comments and remember that you yourself don’t know when it’s your turn to attend to the death call.
To every South Sudanese
It is high time we remembered that time is up for such tribal chauvinism and now is the time to ignore such people as “Naked Dinka” who want to drag us to their level of fools just to beat us with their experience later. We must direct the blame to where it belongs, county, state and national authorities. They have their hands in this. They must stop it because surely they can less, we shall kick them out when we gather our power (ballot if not revolutionary) someday.

Mr. Bush,
When our half-brothers and sisters in ROSS are killing themselves (regardless of number) for nothing, certainly it is our business and instead of insulting each other let us find a constructive solution, however I have one “export cows, leave small number for each family and use the money to educate people in order to change their cultural values, dependency on animals especially cows and eventually their lifestyle”.

You don’t need to know anything about us in the South, you abandoned your uncles in the South in favor of those who raped your mothers, what do you want from us again, on top of that your solution is silly.
Leave us alone, just enjoy your lives in the shadow of modern slavery of 21 century, you cursed sons of Africa.

May God rest their soul in peace. I really feel sad when hearing an attack, why people lost the life of innocent people.
To my fellow patriotes of South Sudan you should pray to God so that He can remove such an evil deeds from the hearts of people. When I compare this to what happened to Isrealites, those raiders are like those who refused to go to the promised land. Why does God did not do the same thing which He did to the refused people of Isreal.

My condolences to the families of the fallen citizens in Nuer land.
Warrap state should be disarmed immediately together with Nuer of Unity State because they have learned the habit of getting rich quickly through raiding other people’s properties.
Why can’t you stop this killing and instead embark on developmental programs?
As for this Sudantribune Website, it should be divided into South Sudan and Sudan. This would help us avoid receiving useless comments from people like Mahmed Ali, Konan and others. Their comments don’t help in the building of this new Nation rather, they are happy seeing us remaining behind like them in the North. Can you imagine, him inquiring by adding zero after Eight to make the number appear big. Shame on You and your forks. Sudan Will never be the same again.

He told the Sudan Tribune that the raiders targeted the THREE payams of Goang-Yaguar, Tharuath Bor(Dinka-Nuer Bor) and Daab-Lual(Dinka-Nuer Lual). All crimes makers will be punish including Dinka-Murle.
My condolence to the families’ victims of crimes!
All the commissioners have to be held accountable for not doing their jobs appropriately as the leaders to their people.
If RoSS takes this seriously then the civilians’ lives will be protected.

So if you continue to leave your ignorant everywhere, know that you’re doom for condemnation. Check yourself first before you could write anything here on a web site.

Jonglei,
I don’t think you know what you talking about becoz every sentence you wrote is in reverse.
Look at President Kirr (Dinka with big marks arround his head) and Vice President Dr. Riek Machar(a Nuer with no Marks in his forehead). So, are you saying Dr. Riek is smarter than President Kiir becoz Kiir is scared all over his head? To me, that is our tradition. I may need it make on me when I get time.
What do you think Nuer can do now? they stop rebelious and join the govt in search for peace (to the extend that they even kill themselves N.B. Gen. Gatluak) in our nation but we still arm other tribes like Murle to go and kill Nuer. We armed our Dinka people in Warrap with heavy weapons, president’s Salva Kiir home town and encourage them to go and kill Nuer.
If we are smart enough we should read the Nueri behaviour on this web. most Nuer stop talking about war and responding to Dinkas stupid senseless writings. Why do you think so? you need to think rationally like Nuer. THE NUER ARE OUTSMARTING Dinkas. We should be concerned about how long we going to stay with this leader in our control as we failed to live to our expectations of leading this nation. Dr. Reik Machar has helped our civilians to reach this stage in history of South Sudan but I am not sure if he will nurse us anymore!

Any lost of lives among the civilian population is sadly regrettable. And when a terrible incident like this one takes place, it should be investigated; immediately, by the government and; consequently, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent such a heinous crime from happening again. Such an attack clearly shows the weakness on the government side, which if not seriously handled could bring the entire region into chaos and lawlessness. Let us forget about sending our troops to neighbouring countries, and use them to better our own country’s security.
