June 10, 2013 (BOR) - The leadership of the Bor community has
dismissed their involvement in the criticism against politicians from
South Sudan’s ruling party over the contest for party chairmanship and
their intentions to become president.
Reacting to a statement claiming to represent the thoughts of the
Greater Bor Community, warning SPLM political figures against
prematurely putting themselves forward.
The name, Greater Bor, encompasses three Dinka Bor communities of Bor,
Twic East and Duk counties, formerly called Bor district during the
time of British colonial government. But members of the Dinka Bor
community in Bor County told Sudan Tribune on Monday that the document
did not originate from them.
The body called The Greater Bor was formed back in 1990s during the
time of civil war between Sudan and South Sudan. Majok Ayuen, was the
first chairperson until he was replaced by the current minister of
parliamentary affairs in the government of South Sudan, Makuei Lueth
in 2003.
In their press released dated 7 June, issued to Sudan Tribune on 10th
May, the community of Bor County rejected their participation in the
document released last week, calling it a fabrication by individuals
who may or not be members of their community.
“It has nothing to do with Bor Community and therefore it must be
regarded as work of Utopia”, read part of Bor community press release,
which added that the “Bor community has no direct obligation to decide
for the SPLM political party since it has no political mandate to
debate on what is happening within the SPLM political party in the
Republic”.
In a separate interview with the Sudan Tribune, Bor county youth
leader, Thon Ayuen said the individuals who wrote the statement were
not recognised by the Dinka Bor community. Those responsible will be
arrested and taken to court if caught, he said.
According to Ayuen, the community leaders of the three communities of
Bor Twic East and Duk, Porfessor Ajuoi Magot, Mr. Dau Aleer and
Brig.Deng Awuol, respectively, and the chairperson of Greater Bor
Community, Makuei Lueth, don’t have any knowledge about the group that
issued the statement last week.
