Nuer and Shilluk shouldn’t be trusted. Shilluk and Nuer are very bad and have to be watch very closely.
Naath/Nuer are the backbone of South Sudan.
If Shilluk decide to join us, this will be the end of primitive Salva Kiir Rule.
I am wondering were the Dinka of Upper Nile Region will go this time after listening to Kiir and Killed Naath/Nuer and Shilluk of Greater Upper Nile Region.
If IGAD WANT PEACE IN SOUTH SUDAN LET THEM TEL CRIMINAL YOWERI KAGUTA MUSEVENI TO WITHDROW HIS UPDF FROM OUR LAND AND LET THEIR ACTION SPEAK MORE LOUDER THAN THEIR WORDS.
Great message Mr AGUMUT,
This is your problem: — You kill everyone including those who are self declared neutral and those siding with you.
Your message is a typical disregard attitude towards other communities. Since you show great foolishness I will remind you that the Chilluks and Nuers-Wew defended Malakal since the war broke out up until now.
The Nuer-Wew and their Chilluks friends have sacrificed greatly defending your kingdom and you reward them with “they cant be trusted”.
A few Equatorian ground soldiers recently put down their weapons and ran to UN’s POC because they feared for their lives. They fear your terrorist extremists will turn on them because of your attitude nature of murdering indiscriminately in total disregard of who is on your side.
Kun Puoc’s body guards were murder last year in Malakal by your terrorist extremist
The Chilluk general was ambushed by your terrorist extremists.
With such a mentality you are guaranteed to lose every single one of your supporters.
Mr. Hailemicheal Gebreselassie,
You those of IGAD are batch of dictators, blood suckers, liars, and bias. Your report on the battle that is taking place in Malakal is bias. The Shilluk Militias have been occupied Malakal for over three weeks ago, so it was not Shilluk Militias who attacked the government, but it was government who attacked the Shilluk Militias in Malakal. The SPLM-IO did not involved in fight in Malakal. Please stop lying although you had briefed by the government of South Sudan to liar against Shilluk Militias and the SPLM-IO.
Nuer folks
Not so fast, this is Ma-Ngok areas or Apadang Dinka area if people can understand that . this website is Nuer news outlet or information outlet, but check this Ngok news outlet.http://www.ngokland.com/updates-spla-forces-now-in-full-control-of-malakal/. So let wait for two day more for who will control Malakal. For my understand, Chollo will cross Nile river to west bank where Chollo supposed to be
So you go post a linguistically disgusting article with a few tribal hooligans and call that real news what a weak propaganda. I dont care if you cry a river, Malakal is in the hands of Dr Riek Machar.
“Malakal is in the hands of Dr Riek Machar.” You meant Dr.Ebola ? How do you dismiss the really information from the native of the lands? They are the one who know exactly what going on in their lands.
Abushok battalion is composed of Apadang Dinka who fighting in Malakal.
Well, it doesn’t matter if Dr. Ebola captured with Chollo Militias, they will run away soon.
The kingdom continue crumbling whether you like or not..
Wether Nuer and Shilluk gang up, we will still defeat them. Oliny is bragging about the weapons he stole from SPLA but that is short live! No peace anymore. All we need is to clean up the country of nyagats. Shilluk cannot face Dinka. This is another 1991!
It is time for killer Salva Kiir Kuethpiny to go by all means & no body has the capacity to stop the rising kingdom, it is spreading like wild fire hahaha
Lip services indeed. Rising Kingdom! What is that?
Wow! That is AWESOME! Where are Dinka thugs? Of course, they were on the run. Ah ah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The ball is rolling back to Dinka and it is up to them to quit the game or accept the defeat. YOUR NIGHTMARE ARRIVES. Only two choices for you either to go live with Museveni or be treated the same way you treated us that is it no more!!!
The cycle of brutality should end as soon as Kiir is gone. You cant stoop to the level of those terrorist after the changes have been made or it would make no sense at all. Those who are found guilty of crime should be brought to justice end of story. We have to learn to forgive maybe not now but later for sure. I do understand where you are coming from though. Lawlessness is one of our main problems –just one of them.
Well, the bible says if God is on our side, who will be against us? No body… The same case if Shilluk and Nuer are united who will fight us? Of course, nobody…
Anybody who are PHD holders in that part of Unity State and Malakal are very danger. They only spoil anybody from Dinka. Shilluk and Nuer had done those thing in the church and UN somewhere in Eastern Europe. Dinkas were deny because of them.
what is so call igad must stop lie to us why did not stop killing from Benitiu.
nobody been killed in benitiu, because the government takes care of his citizens, also dinka love dinka-Nuer and shilluk they are all brothers.
Mr deng agoth that kingdom you talk about it was been raised since 1982 from Anya Anya 2 until now, but they didn’t achieve their kingdom. it seems like what they said in the bible saying their come until now it’s don’t come
There is no other way to bring peace back to the country unless Kiir votes on his feet.. IGAD needs to know one thing, a dictator leaves power when his life at risk.
Anglo the God is not a selfish God he can not be your side ,you Nuer
Anglo you need to thanks God for Kirr Mayardiit and his blessings tribe Denka or Danish for bringing freedom and liberty to all south sudanes.
Plz Adut, God is holly, stop to play with him.
You should not keep talkin,while you don’t know your future,we have no time for this.
no matter what, the bloods of innoncent will not slake dinkas but only good names can do.
Here shame on you witches!
Dinka are coward people.Its a proof from February 2014 battle in Bor, Malualchoat, Panpandiar and Pariangs.They have no immunity to fight Nuer to death.They are stronger because of UPDF presence in the country that is why they will never conceded Nuer victory over them until Uganda pull out. Its better for South Sudan to path in Somalian way than Gaat Neeni tii Naath taking second class citizen.
Dinka warriors are already control malakal and all idiots so called shilluk and nuer are on run to west bank
Akoka is fallen please IGAD condemn this too, because you become comedian of the year, it take you long to condemn Bentiu atrocities committed by Kiir force but you condemn SPLA IO for self depend against government who attacked
Olony force
How and why IGAD become serious now a day it is because of defeated of government or not?????????????????????
