the incident of killing 800 Nuer recruits Mapel was a clear genocide beyond reasonable doubt.again there is a clever game those who came from prison are trying to play that game will politically finish them in south South Sudan politic. they thought the interim leader will be from them this is the card they are using and if that is their plan then they are playing then they will not achieve it it. non will be be given it will be given to someone like Alfred Ladu Gore.they are opportunist using Nuer blood to fight for the change for their benefits.
