South Sudan rebel group give UN and NGOs a week to evacuate Unity state
By Toby Collins
October 27, 2011 (LONDON) – A South Sudan rebel group has given UN agencies and aid groups one week to leave the oil rich Unity state, threatening to attack the state government which it accuses of human rights abuses.
The South Sudan Liberation Movement / Army (SSLM/A) released a press statement on Thursday rebuking the governor of Unity state, Taban Deng Gai, accusing him of committing human rights abuses and threatening to ‘violently resist’ his rule.
They claim that Gai is responsible for abusing the human rights of residents of Mayom and Nhial Diew counties by ordering government troops to administer physical abuse, imprison unlawfully and impound the cattle of family members of SSLM/A members.
They claim 600 hundred cattle belonging to their members’ families have been taken. The rationale given is that ‘the wives of rebel commanders should be divorced by taking the dowries they paid to their in-laws’ which is ‘a violation of Nuer customs.’
The SSLA commander, Kol Chara Nyang from Nhial Diew, according ot the statement, had three of his wives arrested and 400 cattle belonging to his in-laws were taken.
It is alleged that the fathers of the arrested wives were advised that they should look for new husbands as the governor has ‘issued a decree divorcing the wives of rebel commanders.’
A recent arms seizure suggests the SSLA was well-equipped, however its current strength is not clear. The need for aid, however, is clear; a Unity state county commissioner in March appealed for food aid, due to failed crops.
The SSLM/A is a predominantly Nuer, armed rebel group operating in Unity and Upper Nile states, originally led by Peter Gadet. However, a botched peace deal with the Government of South Sudan in August brought his position into question.
The former rebel leader is now based in Juba and reintegrated the South Sudan army, Sudan People’s Liberation Army.

Sounds so bad. The givernment of South Sudan should look into this issue before it gets out of hand. Taban has to religuish power for the sake of stability and communitys’ welfare. Otherwise, this warning is deadly and many people will not like it when it happen.

I am shock and confused by our mighty brothers (nuer) for enslaving themselves alone for centuries even though they are living in slaves free country where their flag is flying, viced and defenced by Nuers at the hour.
Next election, I will vote for a Nuer President, viced and defenced by Nuers.
W,you still kills your poor-innocents race and not protect their prosperity in a proud nation?

Those people are not normal! anyone who value the live of others, can go and fight for such issues? that why the world look at us as non humans! this is more than stupidity, people should stand up and disown these people! Those rebels in S. Suadan have no political manifesto,how can you convenient anyone to joint your movement with such fool reasons, and ideologies!

Why Nuer has to die all the time. Nuer used to have a strong leadership and have a great understanding more than any body else. Please let Nuer elders go to convience those people so no Nuer’s son or daughter would loose a life. Although I know South Sudan’s administration has a hand on Nuer killing themselves all the time. Take Taban out of his governorship if that’s all that matter.

Unity Boy,
friend better advise those of Peter Gadet, and his loyalists. power is something rotational today for Taban, and next time for any other Nuer. Don’t subject your community to suffering for nothing. You guys must have a spirit of humanity. Don’t support nonsenses of the rebels.

The rebel in south sudan have got a lot of supporters within Juba ruling clique ,and that is one of the thing we need acknowledge, all the mess which is going on in unity state is being sponsored in Juba ,make no mistake about that,the likes of Machar and his wife and never rule out Gadet are all behind the mess in order for them get ride of the governor.
Apolloos

There are international human rights watch bodies existing in Unity state now and they have not reported any human right abuse committed by the Governor. We know all these rebels are being fool by Bashier against their own people. Bashier yesterday admitted that he supports rebels in Libya what if the South Sudan rebels, the rebels against his best enemy. who ever being fools is a foolish.shame!!

There is nothing like human right abuse according to what you have just posted here.The point is that you nuer had that ideologist of rebellion since the beginning of the creature,why don’t you differentiate yourselves from pigs? when will you learn change as human beings? Do you have human watch where you are?
Deng Tut

The honorable Taban Deng is the one who destroyed the image of our President, the Governor created the enemy to the President in Unity State while he can promote the really democracy in the entire of Unity State. Why he don’t think like the Governor of Western Eq.

You have said it, it is fabricated message to scare NGOS agencies in area because of refugees there, actually are working under the regime in Khartoum, trying to destabilize our country, they have felt the head of the economic crisis in Khartoum and want to make their last kick of dying horse, let them tried it.

Unity boy I salute you Brother!!
Taban Deng and Simon Kun are useless to our people of Greater Upper Region of which majority are Nuer! Those two useless guys have been imposed on our people by SPLA/M thugs of Kiir just to embezzle public fund for their benefit. It is a high time for those two naive Governors to be kicked out to Goriaal to govern it if advised.
SSLA supporter
South Sudan rebel group give UN and NGOs a week to evacuate Unity state
SSLA must act now and quickly before SPLA/M militia acquires sophisticated or cutting edge American weaponry including military hardware. We would like to advise our dear citizens of Unity state, foreign oil companies and INGOs to immediately evacuate the region to avoid Collateral damages. SSLA had enough watching Kiir and his SPLA/M thugs looting people of RoSS with total impunity! Hell no!!
Dani

My God why do our people like violence did they forget the recent conflict? hopefully no but because of the ignorance of human rights amongst our people. I hope I will not go to the bush again. God help your people. The govt must intervene in this matter instead of Western Upper to act alone. this is a national issue and govt need to take serious action before rebel plan.

It is wrong for those who leaves the country for personal reasons and mobilised his/her tribes and seek power by using them but they signed peace deal the government, later those who fought for him without position. If I were you, I can not leave the country to Taban or Kiir because the country is not belong to them and you power, seek peace solutions by mobilsing any community THROUGH VOTE NOT WA

Oh,it is awkward and shame to you my dear,do not support Taban blindly.Kiir supports Taban for self benefit that he uses for his alcoholism while he pretent him self to be the president of the country.Unity State ontains two third of South Sudan wealth that is why greedy president who have no bright future for this country does not remove this man from governorship because he get deal with him.

Fool! We know you are not from Dinka tribe but you are just pretending to be from Dinka tribe! Common sense says that if you are a genuine Dinka, you can’t call yourself with such a counterseal name! Please, if you are stupid don’t assume everyone on this political forum to be your type. Dinka and Nuer are cousins let this fact get through ur retarded brain if u have on

Mach.
It is nonsense indeed to accuse Nuer of enslaving themselves when they are in fact fighting to liberate you from the slavery of SPLA/M. Remember! Slavery is the same. It makes no different whether it is being practised by your brother, friend or enemy etc. So, please be proud of Nuer because they are sacrificing their lives cheaply to liberate the people of RoSS from the slavery of SPLA/
