Commissioner Maker Lual Kuol told Sudan Tribune that the attackers, who he believed to be from the Murle ethnic group, attacked the village at about 6pm and shot a woman who tried to escape with children, leaving her with injuries to her right arm and knee.

An anonymous source told Sudan Tribune that a five year old girl was shot dead in the house where she was hiding.

The injured woman, Aluel Mach Yuai, was carried to the hospital where she delivered a baby boy on 9 November.

Bor county commissioner, Maker Lual, said his county had suffered a great deal recently; on Wednesday a 13 year old boy – Deng Madit Aleer – was abducted from a bus from Juba and cattle were rustled in Luak, north-east of Mareng village in Anyidi Payam (district).

According to Lual, eight Murle gunmen stopped the bus at Malith-Thor, stole money and other belongings from the passengers and abducted the boy. The boy’s father, Madit Aleer, was waiting for his son at Pariak.

Lual called for calmness in the villages and urged the national government to disarm the civil population in the state.

The youth leader of Ater villages, Agot But Agot said, the “situation is unbearable.”

A member of parliament to the Jonglei assembly and member of the Murle ethnic group, Peter Baba Medan, told Sudan Tribune from Juba that they are trying their best to bring about peace between Murle, Anuak, Nuer and Dinka-Bor ethnic groups.

Medan said he has a team including the former paramount chief, Ismeal Konyi, and adviser on community security to Jonglei governor, Judi Jungle, met in Juba to discuss a peace initiative.

Medan explained that the team will travel to the villages in Pibor villages to pass the message of peace.

    I am not happy of hearing evry day clashes in Jonglei state, but you guys blame those who withdrawed the forces of Maj.gen Bol Kong not to disarm Murlei, after disarming Lou-nuer. Remember that every human being’s life is good or valueful to his/her parents, despite one tribe. GoSS will decide what to do on failure Govenor Kuol Manyang to stop severe tribal confrontation. thanks

    Murle unreasonable, just because the bad news is embarrassing to your community doesn’t necessarily mean falsehood. Please stand up for your people and stop these kinds of illogical raids. This will not be good for your entire community safety and continued existence in the near future!
