December 19, 2011 (BOR) – A village in Jonglei was attacked on Saturday; one of numerous recent incidents of insecurity in the region which are seeing marked depopulation, according to a local chief.

Panther Gai, the chief of Makuach payam (disctrict), Bor county, descried the situation in which child abduction and cattle raiding have become prevalent, as “worse than the war of John Garang [the 1983- 2005 Sudanese civil war].”

On Saturday, Makuach was preparing to host a community meeting. Gunshots were heard from the north of Makuach in direction of nearby village of Majak. Residents ran in direction of the firing in attempt to help Majak villagers.

Sudan Tribune went with them. The gunshots ended before reaching the site. Residents said the raiders were members of the Murle ethnic group from Pibor county.

The residents fired on assailants and left one person with a foot injury. A water container, a green military belt and a knife were confiscated from the fleeing raiders.

“Children are being burnt to death and other abducted, elders slaughtered and villages burnt but I never heard them. Why do they keep silent? Where are they? I don’t know them,” said local resident, Kuol Piok when asked about the state and national governments.

The Jonglei state deputy, Hussein Maar Nyuot said a disarmament programme will begin in the state in the dry season.

A significant problem in addressing the security situation in Jonglei is the poor road infrastructure said Nyuot.

After an attack on Jalle, 40 km north Bor town, on 5 December, fears of similar attacks spread across the county. Women and children have been arriving in Bor town on daily basis to escape the raids.

    Guys,
    Riek Machar was airing out that Twic East, Duk, Bor, and Lou Nuer are planning for attack against Murle for purpose. He want to avert the message because the problem of Lou and Murle is very intense since they are most cattle rustlers in the state of Jonglei. The guy is so addicted to the three counties but he does not know that we watching at him. Thanks

    I always dislike any body who rejoiced when innocent citizens are subjected to unnecessry suffering! But those one with big mouths should be inform not to be in a defensive position all the time! attack also that the attackers be deterred and be in defensive alert. talking and blaming the wrong people for your security will cost you lives dearly. Murle ain’t invicible,invade them too if RSSfail !

    “He doesn’t know we are watching at him” So what? Some of us on this website are so stupid depending on shallow- minded analysis. Why are many of you addicted to criticizing the V.P? Even if one has just had a stomach upset he or she will also accuse the V.P. What is the connection between the attack and the V.P?
    Hell to you with your stupid accusation. Why can’t you sort yourselves out alone?

    @ Puok, No one is happy but these brothers of ours lose the sight of where the problem comes from instead they are accusing innocent people who have no connection with the problem. Where is this police force which has 3000 soldiers? That the parade of Jonglei state police force. If those corrupt guys recruited only their daughters and wives then, that is non of our concerns.

    There are those who pretended to correct other people grammatical,but they do not know grammer themselves, revise your writing and see whether you are using correct english. we are not here to correct our writing (english), but to correct our attitude such as yours, for you to be able to change your negative thinking toward SPLA. Shame on you especially you, who have negative thinking. SPLA Oyee.
