March 10th, 2015 (Nyamilepedia)- The Genocide of the Nuer is not only confined to the civilians who have nothing to do with the internal party rift of the SPLA which triggered the conflict. But it is still spreading to soldiers even though the conflict which started as a massacre of Nuer is entering into its second year. The Dinka are still unable to separate Nuer soldiers who put the political rivalry between the tribal President Kiir and Dr. Riek behind them and thought they are serving their nation.
It actually did not turn out to be the case as Nuer soldiers who continue to serve their master, Salva Kiir, who has brought unbearable pain in the Nuer society, continue to die needlessly.
On 8th March, 2015, two genocidal government soldiers from the Nuer ethnic group of Upper Nile state were intentionally killed by a soldier from the Dinka ethnic group of Bar el Ghazel where President Kiir hails from.
The perpetrator was aiming to randomly kill all the six innocent Nuer soldiers just because they were Nuer. But to their luck, four escaped and two were unlucky being crushed to death by a tank driven by a soldier from the Dinka tribe.
The incident happened in the Maban country of Upper Nile state. Some of the Nuer soldiers who survived the attack said that the motive was found to be an order from a general who also happened to be from the Dinka tribe. He ordered the Dinka soldier to carry out the attack against his Nuer comrades.
The dead soldiers were both from Jikany Nuer of Gaajack who thought they were serving the interest of Kiir to kill their Nuer fellows but to their detrimental they cannot avoid or erase their ethnicity which ultimately haunted them.
This is not the first time Nuer soldiers in the genocidal and tribal government were targeted. In one of the barracks in Juba, many Nuer soldiers who ran to UNMISS compounds were lured out to that barrack tore-join the army four months after the genocide.
These group was later killed in their hundreds and the tribal government concealed the crime indicating that the dispute was a pay issue. Ostensively they were indiscriminately killed for just for being Nuer, the same strategy Kiir’s private army used in the three days of December Nuer ordeal in 2013.
The killing of Nuer by Dinka whether be a soldier or a civilian is an ongoing process. Whenever the Dinka suffers casualties in battles now being fought throughout South Sudan, they turn to their Nuer colleges who serves in the genocidal government for revenge just because they are Nuer.
The massacre of the Nuer students and army recruits in Mapel in Northern Bar el Ghazel state is a perfect example. It was started by a Dinka woman whose husband was killed in Upper Nile. Upon seeing a Nuer civilian in the Market predominantly inhabited by the Dinka, she screamed like hell and that prompted her relatives to go after the Nuer and killed him.
The scuffle continue to where Nuer recruits were staying inside Mapel. A lot of them who could not believe that such a thing could happen were cold bloodily killed.
As the peace negotiation has completely failed, it is highly likely that any Nuer in every location in South Sudan controlled by Dinkas will certainly be a victim. It is advisable that Nuer should leave for UNMISS compounds or safer places under the control of the SPLA in Opposition.
It is advisable that you do not become hesitant about making such a decision because no matter how hard you try to please Kiir, you will always be a target. If Dinkas could kill Nuer who fight alongside them in their determination to kill or finish other Nuer who want to get justice done for the Genocide in Juba, who else could they spare? You answer for yourself.

I wish Dinka-soldier can do the same to so-called Riek Koang so that those who praises the killer(Kiir) of Naath can see things in the right path.
Mr kiir he cannot answer all those question he need to go to school anthem he can answer those world is good for those Nuer who still with government for look for money only Lethem die all happy to that because they just need money only and they don`t listen for what happen
God created man in his own image to determine his own future by making a genuine decision once without looking behind. You cannot serves two master you either detest one or trust the other. Let leaves Nuer wew of kiir Dinka will show them their foolishness without fail until they spoke Dinka language. I press lord for he created me the way I’m ( your own decision is your own future.)
Buay Malek and Lul Ruai Koang are in secret Kuol Manyang execution list.
It`s my first time in my life to see Nuer who want to change himself to become as the Dinka because of the money but those who still with Dinka the who created Nuer is one who can dialed with those who self their family
All Nuer should have already known by now that they are a target everywhere from Jaang’s ethnic regime as well as from the Jaang exremists. Those useless Nuers serving in the Jaang dominated SPLA-Juba are at a greater risk. I am proud that SPLA-Pagaak does not tolerate such ethnic practice of targetting Jaang or any other ethnics that are with them liberating South Sudan.
Look, we have about 78000 Nuers Bul cattle Keepers in Warrap State and they have been there for 13 Months from now if the war was between Nuer and the Dinka could such a big population living in the middle of Dinkas communities? We have about 600 Nuers Students at Bahr el Ghazal University living in WAU, the capital of Western Bahr el Ghazal State and that war was between Dinka and Nuer then, they shouldn’t be there. Also we have about 480 Nuers Primary Students and Secondary Student learning in Warrap State and Western Bahr el Ghazal and there are more than 4000 Business people living in Bahr el Ghazal regions and in addition to 700 refugee people have been transfer by UNMISS to WAU, the capital of Western Bahr el Ghazal State.
I am real very concern about your attitudes and the way you guys wants to generated this political war in to tribal war. We see no reasonable to kills innocents brothers and sisters of Nuers and this is why many Nuers civilians are moving now from Unity communities to Bahr el Ghazal regions, because they sees our regions as it is safer for them to lived in there. Apparently, what had happened in Juba 15 Months ago was not agrees by all Dinkas and the Nuers people instead, it was a political differences in between president Salva Kiir and his former vice president but we should not be driving by two people to hate each other. If we keep supporting tribal man, if we continues fighting Dinka and Nuer to the end then, there is no need to call it South Sudan nation, because we have to do thing like others African did their Affairs, Please keep singing about generated more problems in hoping to gains benefits by fueling things but would you be willing to ask yourself what future do you wanted to leave your children? Can you thinks how long do we have to carry this conflict?
My friend there specking only Dinka and don
t talk about Nuer bul they just need Food only if you can remember when we are fight with Arab there those who with Arab in Khartoum because of what because the food, I believe my Mr Mawien Magol my question to you dont have anyone who kill by Dinka women or girl or children ok if you don`t have anyone from your family who not die you will see soon God watching you, just had our blood God is going to asking soon the name of NuerWhom do you trust? No one wheather politician, friend or relative, the of today engage by interest. We are different culture habit among the tribes in S.S only two tribes Murle and Nuer cann’t do that. Prayer to Kiir’s family can one son join SPLA IO in bush those who remained in Juba they are Gost regime never turn to path unmore.
Mawein mangol since in history Nuer had never migrated to Dinka territories. Who can believe your comments ? Nuer are independent that’s the reason we managed to fight you, others tribes and the East Africa e.g Uganda.could you manage u Dinka
How about 1991 did you forget that or do you think what Riek kill are not human being.
My friend , tit for tat.
More Nuer should be kill so that we revenge the genocide of 1991.
If you are demanding justice for dec-2013.
We are also in need of justice for 1991.
Who do u trust”, no one. that is the Johnson Oliny did it today for Kiir ‘s regime.
