27 people die in cattle rustling in Jonglei – officials

By Thon Philip Aleu

May 20, 2009 (BOR) – At least 27 people died and 34 injured on Tuesday when raiders attacked 3 cattle camps in Uror County, Jonglei State, officials say.

Bor_cattle.jpgTut Nyang, Uror County SPLM Secretary told reporters today Wednesday here in Bor town that Murle attackers raided Chual, Juat and Payai cattle camps there early Tuesday killing 17 people and wounding 34 others. 10 bodies of the raiders were later discovered as the fighting continue toward Pibor’s territory – Murle area, he claimed.

Between 15,000 and 20,000 cattle are on run with raiders as rescuing youths from Uror still fighting the rustlers. A satellite phone call to Uror villages last night confirmed that the clashing is continuing in efforts to return the cattle, Mr. Nyang says.

Uror Commissioner Gatluak Reath Kuily, who also confirmed the attack in his County, is due to address a press conference late Wednesday in Juba where he will plead government intervention to end the crisis.

Tuesday attack in Uror comes 4 days after similar incidents claimed lives of 4 children in Thol, Nyirol County. Murle tribesmen were also blamed for the children’s abduction which ended horribly when the abductors slaughtered them in the bush. Their bodies were founded with knife scars.

4,000 cattle were also looted in Thol May 15 raiding.

Intertribal raiding surged this early year in Jonglei with cattle rustlers from Murle carrying out series of attacks on Lou Nuer Counties. At the beginning of February, 2009 about 46 people from Lou Nuer Counties were killed by Murle criminal.

In March, 2009 Lou Nuer responded by attacking Pibor areas including Murle’s second largest town of Likuagule. A disputed 750 people died on both sides in those clashes ending mid March, 2009. In April this year, Murle men attacked villages in Akobo County killing scores of people and displacing thousands to Akobo town.

UN fears the Internally Displace Persons (IDPs) faces isolation as rainy season might cut-off relief items.

South Sudan has deployed SPLA forces in the areas of tribal conflicts in Central Equatoria, Jonglei and Upper Nile States. Citing South Sudan vice President as the source, the home press says the army has being given orders to disarm the civilians as well as taking measures to avoid further tribal clashes.

In Jonglei capital Bor last week, commissioners, chiefs and intellectuals from five Counties of Duk, Uror, Nyirol, Ayod and Twic East sealed a peace deal to end hostilities. Pibor County, where Murle hail, was not included in the talks but underground process have already started to bring Lou Nuer and Murle to a round table. If a peace is reached between Murle and Lou Nuer, only dishonoring of the agreements will be the next fear, analysts say.

    My complete deploration to president Salva and minister for SPLA affairs mr Nhail Deng.You are totally demured in the most signifant positions.Mr president why don’t you advocate seriousely on jongulei crisi.Do you acually know the ramification or the aftermath of it.Nhail can’t be belamed much,because you are prerogative in GOSS.Pliz be caution mr president don’t denationalize the most popular party since it formation in 1983.And now you want a bad reccords,but you were clean at the begining of the movement till 2005.pliz mr president popularity can simply be gain by eradicating wars,ethinicity,corruption,nepotism,poverty and create stability and prosperity for the natives plus full reformation of party to secular party. Nhail,if mr president is reluctant why don,t you intervene by giving him presure to release the SPLA proper to the most affected states by intertribes wars and raiding.What will you do with hundreds of SPLA armies,whilst there is no longer war btn South and Nourth.Nhail good work is not only to pay army’s salaries on time to the armies and organise the army itself if you are a minister for the SPLA affairs.Army is simply to work in hand with the police to protect civilians’s live,you are also denationalise the party.I was realy happy at the time you took that seat,because you were from the West,thought that you know all the administration.Pliz mr Nhail intervence if you see an irrigularities in the entire party to reach our vision successfully,we are near to fredom corner.Don’t the vision be altered. Mr Kuol at the time you took that position of governorship,i thought that,it will be the end of insecurity in jongulei state.Because that what truely qualified for,the settling of insecurity is acually yours.Mr Kuol the depopulation of Jonglei will have a grat effect you the governor,commissioners and MP because their will a delimitation of constituences hence,lead to delimitation of MP. To this tiny, harsh and visionless community of BAAR.What is wrong with you,do you want to be swip out of Jonglei,like what had been said by former Sudan president NIMERI during his rime.PLIZ! PLIZ! BAAR think thrices before you carry out abduction,massacres and robbery.One,you have no elites in the GOSS nor GONU to defend you in the parliament if Nuers and JING BOR wage assault aganist you.Pliz be caution NUERS don’t forgive. Pliz GOSS open your eyes for NCP’S polices. MAPEK IN QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA.

    Ha ha ha Yes dogs, keep shooting yourselves and this will lead to an end of your lost and mad tribe which is now a big headaches to me and us as whole. Last week you talk rubbish about peace and today bodies are laying on the streets of Bor or Bar. What a crazy talk about peace. You junglese, you will all die because your jealousy and mad. I praise those Murle for teaching you a very hot lession. Otherwise if that could be ERM you will all disappear in one day.Sick of your madness. Go and die in your jungle villages full of faeces and great environment for cholera germs .

    MR, Manthok Loda. I am absolutltely lost on what you are talking about. If you real know how to pick the topic and begin to write the letter then, talk about it for example the topic here was the 27 people dies in Cattle rustling in Jonglei State between Dinka Bor and Murle community. Thus, I would to give you zero on this point, because you miss the real issued and perhaps, I am fully understand the statement that, the attachers came from Murle Tribe but here you are talking about Neur. Again I am not from Neur people but I would like to you that, you must be fully understand what is call main Idea or topic otherwise, people will not understanding what are you trying to say at this case.This is very important for you to know the topic or main Idea before you actual begin trying to write something please acknowledge what I’m telling you. Iknow you are indeed want to talk about Neur and I understand that,I do know the Neur people are same as Murle people and many more others Tribes in Eastern Equatoria like Toppose people. There is no friends in Neur people same thing as Murle and Toppose. Howver, you must not made comment on other none of topic mention and I guess you will take my advice and thank.

    Aduol Liet.

    no wonder the population of southerners is the lowest in the whole sudan.despise their fault claim of being under counted.
    why keep killing yourselves and expect great number ?
    you better stop killing yourselves over the useless beasts, marry at least 4 wives each of you and make your women more reproductive.
    else you will never match with us (arabs)in all aspects.

    You are just the foolish Jongkoth who don’t know how to reason. There is no reason at all to insult all Murle tribe by what few criminals have done.

    Stop your stupidity or go to hell with your dead proxy thinking.

    God bless
