By Ngor Arol Garang

November 6, 2009 (MALAKAL) — Dr. Francis Mading Deng, a son of late Dinka Ngok paramount chief Deng Majok, who for administrative purposes requested former British district commissioner during colonial period, to transfer Abyei to Kordofan, called for peaceful coexistence between Dinka Ngok and Messeriya communities in the region.

Deng who paid a visit to his ancestors’ home in Abyei today said resumption of ancestral ties between the two communities is an alternative to securing peace and stability in the area.

"I call upon the Nine Dinka Ngok clans and the Messeriya to work together in securing possible ways to settle differences that exists due to civil wars."

"These differences were neither caused by Messeriya communities nor Dinka Ngok but situation of wars; he adds urging the Abyei administration to focus on peace building and reconciliation initiatives."

Mading is reported having congratulated the two parties, the ruling National Congress Party of President Basher and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement for keeping their forces out of the town.

"I was impressed when I saw children playing, moving freely and very one else walking about in the town unlike when I first came in 2004," he said.

He also congratulated the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) for being supportive to the local administration and for keeping open eyes on security situation in the region.

"I am told UNMIS is doing great job here, he queried while talking to chief administrator, Brigadier Arop Mayak in his Abyei office," said Dr. Francis who is the Special Adviser of the UN Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide.

Deng was accompanied by senior government officials from government of National Unity and foreign diplomats from Khartoum.

He is said to have been received at UNMIS Abyei Camp helicopter landing zone by senior Abyei administration officials headed by chief administrator and traditional chiefs including women and youth groups.

  • The Nuer quest for rights is extreme:

    Listen to this:

    A Nuer was in an airplane. Other passengers got drinks in cups with uniform color. The Nuer got his in a different color by chance. The Nuer lashed at the hostess: “Am I not equal to others that you gave me a different cup? Take it away. I do not want to drink”. One passenger volunteered to exchange cups. The problem was solved. The Nuer was satisfied that his “dignity and equality” was restored. He did not care about how people thought of him. He cared about the end result. Anyway, that was the Nuer equality at its best anywhere at anytime. What remains to be seen is whether all the Nuer will ride a car and live in a house like that of Salva Kiir in order to be equal. In Gambella the Nuer said they wanted a Nuer president in the same office with the Anyuak president in order to be equal. It seems like a joking matter but it is serious for the Nuer.

    • Dr. Francis Mading Deng’s father was the one who sold Abyei to the North. He is still having that mentality, ’like father like son.’ He is against Abyei joining the South. But will the young generation from Abyei agree with him?

      He talks of being the so-called UN Secretary General’s special advisor on Prevention of Genocide? Wow, what did he do when the genecide occured in Abyei in 2008? He did not even visit the area. Just a traitor!

      reply

      • Lado (Anyuak),

        What is wrong with somebody who knows how to demand for his or her rights?

        The Nuer in Gambella do even demand not for thier exclusive rights, but for the rights of Anyuak tribe as well. Remember that when the Ethiopians massacred the Anyuak because of the Anyuak murderous nature by murdering Ethiopian army officers, the Nuer came to your rescue by hiding Anyuaks inside their houses. This is a history told by Anyuaks themselves.

        The Nuer now dominate the civil service in Gambella because they are educated there. The Anyuak have refused to educate their sons and prioritized alcoholism as the first class way of life.

        Remember that the first President (Governor) of Gambella region was a Nuer, Mr. Thowath Pal Chai who welcomed the SPLM/A in the area in 1983. He treated Anyuak equally with the Nuer and opened schools in Anyuak districts. But the Anyuak refused to go to school. This is why the Ethiopian Nuer have ambassadors, MPs in Addis Ababa and even the special advisor to the Ethiopian FM is a Nuer, Dr. Koang Tut, who was the Ambassador to Japan and Malasia. The Nuer have four state ministers.

        Mr. Oboya, there is no wrong in demanding for your right inside a plane. Or you feared that the plane would crash? Stop using Equatorian names because they don’t write trash like you do. Be an Anyuak!

        • There is no thing wrong with the words of DR Frances Mading. He talk as the leader in that situation. He was aware that Abyei Ngok are Southerners so there is no probelm talking about the cooperation of the two. Those people like Gatwech nand Thieliny could not understand that kind of talk because that is beyound their capabiliites. Dr Frances just want the two to cooprate, he doesn,t encourage Ngok to join to be part of khortdufan. Thanks

          • Hi Dinka Boy,

            For how long will Dinka stop being bias to their own brothers? and A fool like you have accepted what is fellow idiot say like you,Dr.mading is an empty minded black Arabs who never know of what we mean southern Sudan! . we shall fight you cockroaches s that are struggling for unity ,no unity but black alone.

            SPLA SHALL WIN THIS GAME BY ALL MEAN AND ABYEI WILL REMAIN TO SOUTH AND NGOK DINKA TO NORTH!

            reply

      • You are really beneath what is considered human if you are going to talk ills of a man who has achieved more than anybody would ever achieve in South or Sudan for that matter. Abyei was not sold to North. It was merely an administrative transfer to South Kordofan. That does not give Arabs the right to claim Abyei and thank God Abyei people’s desire to be part of South was affirmed by the international arbitration court in The Hague.

        If you are just attacking Dr. Francis M. Deng because of his great achievements, there no lower point you can sink in life.

        reply

      • Gatwech,

        Yes, good question! Where was Francis Deng Majok when the Nuers, shulluk, Equatoria & non-Abyei Dinkas were fed to the vultures defending Ngok Dinka Kuol of Abyei in 2008? Dr. Francis Mading Deng’s ideas and interests are with Jellaba in khartoum and not with ordinary people of Abyei Ngok Dinka. Dr. Francis Deng is a true Dinka-Arab to the fullest.

        The popular belief that Dr. Riek Machar’s efforts to bring back the people of Ngok Dinka in Abyei back to their historical heritage of south sudan through the Hague Aribration is not really aprreciated by the sold-outs Abyei political elites like the slaved-heart Francis Mading Deng. This is only appreciated by the ordinary people of Ngok Dinka Abyei. But Dr. Francis Mading Deng has already misapplied the conclusion of ordinary Ngok Dinka in Abyei by prematurely advocating unity.

        Francis Deng’s last rally cries of making unity attractive in Abyei is misleading!! His father Deng Majok is a shame to south sudan because he voluntarily enslaved himself along with Ngok Dinka of Abyei for prestige with the jellaba. No other chiefs ever did this in south sudan. It is historical shame and deserve condemnation. The fact that Francis is highly educated and consciously selling out the ordinary people of Abyei aspirations to be with their brothers & sisters in south sudan is an ugly political betrayal at best.

    • The call that was made by Dr. Francis Deng to united two communities Nine Dinka Ngok and Messeria need work so as to have ever last peace among them. However, peace with no border is not a fruitful one. Hope, Abyei people will find their own border with Messeria and then keep peace alive as well.

      Lado: That Nuer short story is a parallel one with the above article message. This story sends a different message in regards to what has been conveyed by the above article.

      Gatwech your absolutely right on this point, those dinkas sell their properties inclduing girls to arabs and now they are claiming Equatorians land in Nimule and jebel kujur. Francis Deng get prepared to face the truth this time, don’t think Equatoria and Nuer will be doing the same job of protecting you from arabs. It is your turn to try how to save yourselves, take notes that Beshir is distributing 4-5 AKA-47 and BM to each arab family in Abeyi and we are going to see, how our dinka ladies will confront with the problem. Since you no body community in South, niether Shilluk nor nuer will give you hands at this time. Equatorians knows why they never say a words to cowards like you. We are going to block the way to Kakuma and koboko and we see what are you going to do.

    • hey Lado, you are funny mate

      reply

    • To Lado,

      Where did you get that information about the cups with different colors in the plane. I cannot stop to laugh at your quotation buddy is it real? You seems to be joking man, although I can’t dispute the Gambela case as Anyuak tribeman told me the same store.

      I disgree with those who praised Dr Deng for nothing although I have a respect for him according to the Dinka culture because is elder person, However, Dr. Francis Deng is not the only poor intellectuals in Southern sudan who don’t care about the suffering of the southerners and the African people in Sudan.

      Ask yourself how many traitors are still confessing Southern Sudanese at the moment? I am urging you to leave alone those distructors and betrayors and join the really Southerner in their struggle. Some of you turn to be disturborn like big logic boy or Lokoya/Lopit boy who don’t even know anything Eastern Equatoria leave alone S.Sudan.

      Thanks you

    • I think that Nuer who demands his right to get the same offer like any orher who have got it knows what is call human rights and justice. Because its not fair to wear a different color when people are in the same uniform. Good on that Nuer, he really knows his/her right.

    • Francis Deng calls for peaceful coexistence with Messeria in Abyei 9 November 2009 10:11, by Abraham Chol Marial

      Dear Lado,You should avoid this controversial story and in this point you have really missed the point and put your comment at the wrong place because the artical that Dr Francis Mading Deng release it had nothing to do with NUER DEMAND. Please let us always be mindful to our comment that can send difference meaning to people and let us also forget finger pointing to others tribe in South Sudan and this behaviour will not unify us as Southerners because no any Southerner better than any other in the South. Mr Mading Deng is a man that grown up in slavery with fucken Arabs but for recent speech purely on better coexistent does not tell people to forget the story of how Abyei was transferred to South Kordofan in 1905 under the leadership of Deng Majok and that was what enable Dr Riek Machar to achieve the truth during PCA ruling. So my brothers,we should always think positively like Southern Sudanese and not tribes by tribes or finger pointing on other peoples. For those whom you think they are useless to have voice in South Sudan have democratic and constitutional right to do any thing they would like do accept in case of violence of which we should real eradicate in our daily living. Now there is other senior gov,t official like Deng Alor Kuol who have a voice in case of Abyei as you have seen duirng the PCA in Hague,they were all there to participate the role which Dr Mading himself did not play and that mean Abyei problem can be solve in absence of Dr Francis. When you pull out one piece of grass from your hous,that house will not start licking immediately,you will continue to use it for your shelding and this should be refered to mading Deng who sometime back betrayed his own people from Abyei by residing with Arab through out his adulthood period. You will never hear Dr Mading Deng talking about the history of Abyei how it became part of North Sudan or being under the arabs in the north. So brothers let those who stil have slavery in their heart continues to do so but for few of us who want o make the different in Sudan history and bring about the independence State keep on talking and sweating till our kits would one day be in freedom.

      reply

      • Abraham Chol Marial, that article is very health, is good that when we discuss meaningful topics they shouldn’t be defused by jokes, Lado made it right a way to defuse people minds from the topic and that is not acceptable.

        Secondly you have said it clearly that those who have slavery minds like Francis Deng, let them do so but those who are fighting independence for future of our kids must keep advocating for it. I salute you brother, these are the words we need to embrace and push forward when we weight and demand our rights. God bless you! dengtaath

  • Individuals calls for coexistence here and there are not too bad to be considered. But concrete actions would speaker louder, better known as "actions speak louder than words."

    What I mean is that; Deng Majok and Mahadi Babo Nimr Sons/Daughters must enter a closed dialogue far away from UMMA and NIF eyes to make a milestone that pave ways for Messeriah to join Warrap State together with Ngok because Messeriah’s life is attached to Bahr El Ghazal Land also because of their food consumption, animals grazing and drinking.

    But some of the key factors in coexsitence between societies are: accepting one and other values, right to share common things (Exchanging interests) especially enter-marriage. If these three key factors exist or are made to exist between Ngok Jaang and Messeriah Arabs, Abyiei land will be enough to accommodate them. But with Messeriah stick to their believing that Ngok jaang are Slaves and Infidals and therefore, no ways for them to marry their daughters will make Abyiei Land too small to commodate superiors and inferiors and therefore, Messeriah may want to migrate northward, not to Nuba Land as an alternative to Abyiei, but straight away to the far north.

  • Dr. Francis Mading Deng "urging the Abyei administration to focus on peace building and reconciliation initiatives"

    why.....why....why always Abyei hase to build peace in one side which the other side don’t. The same your father had mad peace with same Messeria, "even though chief Deng Majok had been knew that it is going to be one side peace" ;but he made it, because of Abyei people to servive from compianing power of Messeria and Khartoum Government for period of time. Now you are forcing Abyei’s administration and his people to do the same "peace." i’m wondering why.... Just last year Abyei people have been displaced by the same people. Non-countable Abyei’s citizens have been mordered. more then 50,000 had been unshaltered in a bad weather.

    Dr. Francis Mading Deng (don’t forget, Messeria, whom have been attacking Abyei citizens since your father was preson until now)........ You should go back to your position or your office and leave Abyei administration to work out there way if you don’t have any thing new to say or to do to your mother land.

    • Remember southrerners!!

      It was Francis Mading Deng grand father (Majok) who signed Abeyei land to be the part of Kordufan which led to the death of countless (spla) few years ago. . this might sound familar to those who’ve lived in the north before. Abeyei people were busy being arabized and islamized by the Nubian govt in the north while real southerners particularly from the deep south were busy fighting jellaba arab.

      but right after CPA was signed in July 2005, northerner like Francis Deng who was hidding in United States at that time, step in south sudan’s affair like he was a real freedom fighter.. what a pity!! Abeyei people were used by Sudan army’s intelligence to kill their brothers and sisters from the south.

      everyones who’ve lived in Khartoum and other major southern cities knew this. my brotherly advice to Francis is, your bussiness has been detected you better shut up because southerners have enough of what you grand father has done to them let a lone the abovementioned.

      Readers, Dr Francise Mading Deng should apologize and admit the mistake his father did to entire Southerners and especially Dinka Ngok community some years back by annexed Ngok chiefdoms to Fordofan . In fact, If he loves coexistence and a true son of Dinka Ngok (chiefdoms) who care about the suffering of his people then why he never rise Dinka Ngok problem while he has legitimate power and capability as a UN human right advocates. These arab lovers should back off a little bit for now and mind our businesses. In reality, Messeria had never been good people before. In other words, it’s true that as long as arab still arms them then there should be no peace with them because they’ll come tomorrow and take our properties shamelessly.

      To Uncle Madingdit

      ...with due respect uncle, those diapher heads don’t understand "coexistence". They always strive for supremcy. To call for Dinka to coexist with Mesiriya is like telling me that let hyanna be your pet, and nothing will harm your children as well as your livestocks. If Mesiriya want to be Southern Sudanese, then they must choose which one out of nine Dinka chiefdoms they want to be under. That is the law of immigrations. Now you live in US, you are an American and subject to American laws. How are you gonna tell us to Coexist with them when what they did still fresh in our mind? Do you have a son who was taken into slavery by Messiriay? Do you have a daughter who was raped by Mesiriya? If you can answer those questions, then please stop you pacifist advises and let Mesiriya first appologize for what they have done to Dinka. How can they do us wrong and you ask us to coexist with us while they have not even acknowledge what they have don? Uncle, you are play with fire near gas station!

    • I really don’t know what is wrong with you all. First of all, you need to understand what Frances Deng was talking about. According to my understanding, Frances Deng son of chief Deng Kuol is much more consent about the security of Abyei people. Frances did not said, Messeria is a part Ngok Dinka. Frances was talking about peaceful living in abyei area. I want to ask you one thing!!!! Why, why, why, don’t we use Messeria, just like the used some of our Southern Sudanese brothers since. Do me a fever, stop mentioning name of chief Deng Kuol, this man was brave if he was born some where in this world, people of that side of the world could have talk about the good things he did but, because he was born in Sudan where people don’t appreciate nothing that’s why. All Southern Sudanese were living in north, Khartoum used to be ours but, look now where are we? We run to all the way to South, Abyei remind in the border of North and the South. What could have happen if, Ngok Dinka people were in Juba? Abyei could have been for Messeria now and then we were going to talk about Arab clamming Mayen Abone belong to them. In case you don’t know every good thing chief Deng Kuol have don’t us just to keep our land. Here are some of of the things and not all of them. 1- He manage to keep the land of Southern Sudanese until now. 2-He manage to bring children to this world so that together we fight to keep black Africa land. That is what the man is all about, to do things people will remember you, even if you not, the roots remind, his Land, people and his children are his roots. May God help you think like human. Real, African from Southern Sudan

      • Mawien.

        Southern Sudanese people are so doubtable about your Abyei relationship with Arab of Northern Sudan if you don’t understand why why why people are opposits from pfro, Frances Deng, your relation to Arab people in Northern Sudan make many Southern Sudanese offensive to doubting on the Abyeian people why do you want to be polite when these Arab are killing none Arab in the Sudan.

        Remember your community chief Mr, Deng Kuol made a very big mistaken to signed out that, Abyei District of Bhar al Ghazal Region to Kordifun whatever, the spelling is. and there was never any chief Community in Southern Sudan did that stupidity one, only Deng Kuol did such inability and now the Messeria Tribe are saying, they do not like the agreement which was made early by ICC Judges what fool you guys want to do with that peaceful, do you trust Arab to live peaceful.? Are you not aware what Arab did in Darfuri Region. Arab people do not respected others different cultures to live peaceful.

        Finally, I know you guys want to stand three feets in Sudan but you guys must quits Northern Sudan and come to Southern Sudan to show that you are Southerners Sudanese lovely community just like many others communities in Southern Sudan nation, it doesn’t make any sense when Deng Kuol signed Abyei with Arab to be transfered to Central Sudan Region and it was so wrong.

      To Francis Mading Deng,

      please Mading your absent in South Sudan struggle caused no effect and still we do not need you. Thus there are many guys from Abyei who would present Abyei.

      You are an Adviser to UN Secretary general for genocide prevention, tell me your role in Sudan genocide from 1980S to date? Your position is known, you are not longer an Abyei son but an America citizen, for which you don’t care of our problems. Please your son Kuol Mading has told me alots of things about you during his visit to Yei town in 2005. To make it worst your landing in Khartoum tells that you are not part of S Sdan. this time we do not need other Deng Majok to cause problem in Abyei issue leave in the of SPM and South Sudan’ people.

      In conclusion, I argue you to go back to USA or bring your own family to Abyei before co-existing of Arabs Masseria and Dinka Ngok. Remember Nyankol mathiang’s question in form of song, saying Mading Deng how did Abyei remained in North Sudan ( dong Abyei kede?), you may be curse for your bad intervention in Abyei issue.

      • To francis Mading Deng, please spare a minute to read a comment from really southerner and freedom lover called Deng Makuei, if you have a sense of disearning things please read his comment by heart. Definitely you may find that you are already black arab. Because being A doctor doesn`t means to abandone your own people for the seek richiness. otherwise, it will becoming a curse to you southerners doctors. Look here, doctor Lam, doctor Riak and you yourself are qualified but instead to liberate your brothers from oppression been being done to them by arab, contrary you are the one betraying!! Please leave alone those who were not doctors and they have eyes to see southerners snags like Mr. Deng Alor Kuol, Edward Lino plus others partiotic in Ngok chiefdom.

        ultimately, I would like to give a special thanks to that commentator namely Mr.Deng Makuei for his wise words dear brother, the God of tortured , marginalized and oppressed people will gives you opportunity to govern them in freedom.

Dinka Ngok fought seriusly besides their brothers in the south during the war and still up to now ready to fight further more if enemies need more wars that is what to say!!.

      • Mr Deng Miakuei,

        You are completely right and I’m with you dear. I love your comment. It is good whenever each of everyone distinguish the wrong things and good things like the way you have expressed it in your article. Miading Deng was been away from the SPLM/SPLA since 1983 until now. What motivated Francis Miading Deng was because that he fail from his dream in which he wants Abyei to be from the North.

        People believe that if you are a Doctor in any certain field of career, then the think that they can not be blame. This is mostly happened in Southern Sudan where if you are a Doctor in a field of Engineering, then you can be a politician, while engineering and politician are totally different. So, Miading Deng himself was not actually interested in the Move of the SPLM/SPLA. Dear brother Deng Miakuei, I’m really agree with you in your word. I can not support someone who don’t know his home affairs. Miading Deng and the rest of the other politicians whom I know in Southern Sudan are in the lost stage.

        If Miading Deng is from Dinka Jok of Abyei and he like to be Arab, then it doesn’t mean that the whole Dinka Jok of Abyei are from Arab. Take example, in year 2003, Francis Miading Deng donated 3 million US dollar to Mexico, while Southern Sudan especially the people of Dinka Jok of Abyei are dying and being humiliated by Arabs people in Nyamora area and some other areas within Abyei Town.

        So, Mr Deng Miakuei, you are really right my dear and I wants you to keep up in pointing out the right details.

        Thank you so much and God will inspired you.

        reply

  • Dr Francis Miading Deng is the first traitor politician in whole Southern Sudan. He should not suppose to thank the two parties namely: the NCP and SPLM. If Francis Miading Deng was the right leader who really know the situation of Southern Sudan as well as the problem of Abyei, then he should have to co-operate himself with the Late Dr John Garang before he died. Miading Deng was the one against SPLM/SPLA and that is why he said last time that Abyei is from the North in which he mean that Abyei people are from the North and not from the South.

    As he see now that Abyei is brought back by the SPLM/SPLA through a political dialogue, that is why he is trying to be someone supporting the move of the SPLM/SPLA, but in his heart, he doesn’t mean it. Inhumble of the heart is the one that I see from Miading Deng.

    • I think Deng Majok who is the father of Francis Deng is such a coward opportunist Ngok chief.The article above who demanded Deng Majok to apologise to entire South Sudanese is so correct. This man his father place lives of the Abyie ngok in to diffficulty by transfering the Ngok to the North and now his son again calling for unity between his people and Messieria. While other people are dying for defend of that land and the people. Gentlement, Deng Majok must brief Salva Kiirr about what his view is, when it come to Abyie referendum.Deng Majok is too much plotting I can tell, is sending the message to Khartoum that Abyie will never vote to be part of South Sudan and that is shit if you look at it carefully.

      • Francis Deng is protecting his position in the UN. He actually joined the UN in the ticket of NIF and they are pressurizing him to play his role in securing Abeyi from joining the South Sudan. Francis Deng is the man behind the vision of secular Sudan that Dr. John Garang adopted as the manifesto of SPLA/SPLM. He is for a united Sudan. This is a desperate attempt from his side to maintain the unity of Sudan, that is why he is advocating for co-existance between Dinka Ngok and Messeriya. The barrage of attacks against him is because he is a traitor, just like his father.

            • Dear readers,"Your problems may not be big but it ’s definaitely yours" the problem between Abyei ethnic communities and the Messeriya people to others seems like a small things but this is a serious issue and that need I and you to work out possible majors to solved this problems but let’s not play the games of some cards where some cards are placed on the table while leaving some dangerous one underneath the table, what I means here is that if the problem of Abyei with Messeriya is Border issue you will agree with Dr. Francis Mading suggestions for calling for "request from former British commissioner during colonial, to transfer Abyei to Kordofan, called for peaceful coexistence between Dinka Ngok and Messeriya communities in the region" I think what Dr. Francis is driving at here is the border issue since the former British colonial were the one who will tell exactly where the border is, and that is why in his article he " call upon the nine Dinka clans and Messeriya to work together in securing possible ways to settle difference that exists due to civil wars" he also added that these diferences were neither caused by Messeriya communities nor Dinka Ngok but the situation of wars and that is why he urge the Abyei administration to facus on peace building and reconciliation initiatives. If there are some people who think or understood That Dr. Francis’s intention was to transfer Abyei to Korofan, that is not his intention but if it’s than an era is not a mistake, if it is reactify and I hope you people are more concern like myself about this. Abyei Dinka Ngok have already been cut into south and that should not worry you any more. Nobody else know how the shoe pitch him/ her but he who wear them, we all know this. Last but not less the swinging of the car on the rough raod should not be felt by the driver but the passagers will feel it most than the driver himself, I think you know what I mean, what I mean is that the ordinary people the (villagers) who suffered all these atrosity of wars know it very well and they shuold not allowed any room incase there is going to be any room for hear saying that Abyei should be twisted this way or that way.
