Jan 26, 2022 — Yesterday, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan issued a statement saying is deeply concerned over recent reports of attack in Baidit, Jonglei State alleged to have been carried out by armed Murle elements resulting in civilian casualties and temporary displacements.

“According to preliminary reports, some 32 people from the Dinka Bor community were killed that include three women killed by gunshots and three children who reportedly drowned in the river while fleeing and at least 26 others were wounded, including women and children,” the statements says “The attackers also burned down at least five houses and looted properties of the civilians. Reportedly, people fled seeking shelter in nearby bush areas and some are currently unaccounted for.”

Indeed the challenges to the crises in South Sudan also include inadequacies in the justice system and lack of independent press to timely provide independent, plural and balanced coverage.

Meanwhile, on their part UNMISS has urged “groups and individuals to take immediate action to avoid further escalations that will endanger vulnerable people” and called on “authorities to carry out timely investigations and that the perpetrators be held accountable.”

What can be done including by the United Nations Security Council?

These types of crises do occur every now and then in various parts of South Sudan.

On the incident cited here, a South Sudanese posted on social media asking if the the people of Jonglei State and Greater Pibor Administrative Area  have State and National Governments? If the answer is No, he writes, “Then shouldn’t all families, communities and even counties apply the system of “when there is no government” and take charge over their matters of their security and that of their property?” Such a concern can also be seen from the aspect of incomplete formation of the lower levels of government in South Sudan per the R-ARCSS.

In its various briefings, including to the UN Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council, UNMISS continues to highlight what it describes as its “support to building the justice chain, including through the deployment of mobile courts, without which,” their “efforts to promote criminal accountability and contain extrajudicial killings would be difficult.”

“Our work, in particular, in trying to build what we call a “justice chain” – you know, one of the things we encounter when we engage in intercommunal conflict where people say, “what do we do if somebody does wrong to us or takes our cattle and there are no courts and no police, no prisons? We need you to assist,”” said UNMISS Head and Special Representative of the Secretary-General Mr Nicholas Haysom, according to “near verbatim transcript” of his last month’s press conference in Juba, urging that the UN Security Council “has to show a degree of understanding and support for the achievement of the benchmarks in the peace agreement (R-ARCSS) which include constitution-making, establishment of government structures and accountability structures.”

Those tasks of course also relate to the implementation of Chapter Two of the R-ARCSS on Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements and R-ARCSS as a whole. However, the road to achieving success cannot be limited simply to the parties to the Agreement, it is a huge task that has to involve civil society and other stakeholders, as well as justifiable improvements on aspects of the peace agreement that need adjustments.

Mr. Roger Alfred Yoron Modi,
Why don’t you chap look for a real job than always write these nonsense?

Here in Bor, Murles are nothing, just bunch of lawless misereants. Every time times, their lawlessness is tackle head-on. Then they cry ‘Iquanna’ we are brothers. The most galling thing is, you pieces shit like you Mr. Roger Alfred Yoron Modi is, you like to make things up. The Murles under conndition cannot diplace the Bor Dinka/Jieng. A few years ago when the Bor youths got frustrated by these Murles miscreants and went and crusshed them in Pibor. The UN, the NGOs and the so-called human right defended screamed at the topd of the evil lungs that the Murles were ‘being targeted by the Bor Dinka/Jieng simply because they are Murles’ David Yau Yau was armed the UNMISS. The Murles game is always about steal other people cattle and babies, they cannot stage a real confrontation with the Bor. They did long time ago. Here in Bor South, in 1980th in Amuometh and Anyidi, they were killed right up to Pibor and since, they have never openly assault a Bor Dinka vilage or cattle camp. They resorted to stealing or ambushes or hit and run.

Even in 1980th, the Taposa and Ruito came to Bor South, Paluer. Yeah. they were almost wiped, a few of them who went to Ruito and Kapoeta. Have never again dare bring their bullshit Bor. There is a cosnpiracy against the Dinkas/Muonyjiengs.

The same conspiracy, The reasons as to why the Nuers managed to ransacked Bor in 1991. Was because almost all the youths were in the sieged, and the Nuers just walked over, with no one in Bor. But the Bor boys to the Nuers just out Mongalla. The Nuers were cut down with furry grasses right up to Nuer hearland jn 1992.
In 2013-2014. The bunch of Nuers mlitias went went and join our cloned so-called Arab of North Sudan and were welcomed back in 2006 and most of them were stationed here Bor. No one expected, the Nuers would again repeat their 1991. They were cititens of Jonglei. But their Riek Machar demigod staged yet another coup on 15/12/2013, in Juba and ran away from Juba at night with Mr. Taban Deng Gai, Alfred Lado Gore and other bunch Nuer low lives and came to Bor and rasied their Ngundeng magician flag and named Bor, their Ngundeng Buong city. Some utterly enraged about about the issue of Nuers with us.

Bombed the lawless low lives again right up to their own filthy villages.>>>>

Bombed the lawless low lives again right up to their own filthy villages, all these, the UN, the NGOs, so-called human rights, the US, the UK, their lackeys here in the IGAD countries and the African Union (the AU) and some of vermins/parasites/viruses, were using the same conspiracy, that the Nuers were being targeted by the Dinkas/Jaangs/Muonyjiengs simply because they are Nuers. Mr. Riek Machar was a terrorist, Lord Resistant army (LRA) of Mr. Joseph Konyi, Equatoria defence force of Mr. Alfred Lado Gore, Mr. Isamail Konye of Murles, Mr. Peter Kenyi and hord of others pieces shits were on payroll of our cloned so-called North Sudan. Even in 2006, their Dmigod, Mr. Riek Machar was asked to call his LRA buddy, Mr. Joseph Konyi to come out from the Democratic republic of Congo (DRC), Mr. Joseph Konyi had ‘a cold feet’ and refused.

Mr. Roger Alfred Yoron Modi, Our ke nyantoc, Murles, Taposas, Ruitos children-like-liftyles, love of free things, foreign things and believe in intrgues and magics. Had been a big pain in the arse of Muonyjiengs/Jiengs/Jaangs/Jenges/Dinkas for a long time. Our ke nyantoc think they are on par with the Jaangs, but they are not. A Nuer would go to Kenya, Uganda, our Kiirtoum (Khartoum), Americas, Europe and other countries, and go and learn nothing, but would come back to South Sudan and walk ‘bling bling’ that is he/she is anyone.

The ten (10) states of South Sudan were created by our arch enemies, our cloned so-called Arab North Sudan. South Sudanese were not in a hurry for more states. But when their demigod, Mr. Riek Machar let his usual lust for at all costs over the backs of South Sudanese people, carried him away and proposed 21 states, in the hotels, brothels and bars of Adis Ababa, Abesh (so-called ethiopia) prostitute, Mr. Salva Kiir came up with 32 states. The whole game was to consign our Nuers ke nyantoc to their own states and right place. South Sudanese people are sicked of low lives tantrums throwing like babies. The US, the UK, their sleazy NGOs, the UN, their cloned so-called North Sudan masters, their lackeys here in the IGAD, the African Union (the AU) and other piece went and screamed, that South Sudan doesn’t have money for 32 states, and ‘that 3 regions of Upper Nile, Bhar El Gazelles and Equotoria are better’

Where is the damned money money in our Nuers ke nyantoc, (Murles), Equatorians, Shilluks (Chollos) villages? Nothing. Only in Muonyjiengs/Jiengs/Jaangs/Jenges/Jongkoths/Dinkas villages

The Muonyjiengs/Jiengs/Jaangs/Jenges/Dinkas of the Sudan and Egypt are the most racist people on this planet earth. We are the masters of long shot war fares. We don’t consider Bantuses anything, we marry them, we don’t English people anything, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, are going to be blitz back to Yemen. We don’t don’t like evils in our backyards. Noth again.

We have better lawyers, than white people and we know the reasons why. Lawyering is not studied in a different country. It is studied in your country and countries who may have the same cultures and laws with your country and your people

Even our elders let our young boys and girls, went and studies’ other foreign laws, to find out who really has best laws on earth. But some of them, sometimes came back and failed ‘bar examinations’.

Some low eduacted South Sudanese who went and studied law in 4th universities here in East Africa, don’t know their certificates are invalid until they pass South Sudan’s ‘Bar exams’. Those ‘copied and paste’ laws from Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria, Democratic republic of Congo, Central Africa Republic (C.A.R), our cloned so-called North Sudan Abesh (so-called ethiopian) prostitutes laws, evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their gulf Arab States, terror exporters, India, the US, the UK, France, Germany and other countries laws; Idon’t apply here in South Sudan.

Mr. Roger Alfred Yoron Modi, cut your cheap propaganda loses and go away. Have you ever heard Roger Alfred Yoron Modi. What is the UN is? Have you ever heard how corrupt the UN is, do you know which countries pays for the UN and it dirty upkeeps in that dirty UN building in New York, have you ever heard that the US, the UK, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their gulf Arab states, terrorists and paymasters, secret societies (of the CIA, MI6, Mosad, Assasins, Roman Catholic (the soicetity of Jesuits), El Qada, Jesh Islam, Jesh El Nustra, Mujahideen, Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS/L, Boko Haram, Mr. Thomas Cirillo Nas, our Riek Machar so-called SPLM-IO, they are the same——they are terrorists.

Low educatef piece of shits think, they can make South Sudan like Eastern Congo. and then they will always be taken to Uganda and be used ‘begging bowls around the world. Kenya, and be used begging bowls around the world, to our Gambella region region, and be used as begion bowls around the world. allegedly to central Arab republic (C.A.R) and go and be used as begging bowls for next meals.
