February 16, 2017 (JUBA) - The South Sudanese army (SPLA) said
Thursday it had gained control of Yuai, a key rebel town in located in
eastern Jonglei region after clashes during which some rebel fighters
allegedly joined pro-government forces.

Yuai, the Bieh state capital, used to host the rebel-appointed governor.
The clash took place on Wednesday after a group of rebel defectors
declared their allegiance to the government on Tuesday. The defection
generated mixed reaction from the local population, resulting in
clashes which government forces based in Pajuet military outpost
exploited and used it to gain control of the area.
The deputy SPLA spokesman denied there was fighting, saying they took
over the town after the rebel faction allied to former first Vice
President, Riek Machar deserted it.
The military spokesman of the armed opposition did not make any
statement about the development.
Multiple military sources in Bor, however, told Sudan Tribune, that
the SPLA were forced to fight back after the rebels attacked their
soldiers at the nearby village of Patuet, not far from Pajut.
“After rebels attacked our soldiers at Patuet, they were not only
pushed back, but also given a hot pursue. So we ended up in Yuai
today”, a junior military officer, said.
Although the army headquarters in Juba concealed information regarding
the clashes that occurred in Bieh state, rebels on the side confirmed
the fighting, but claimed that SPLA forces were repulsed by the white
army, claims Sudan Tribune could not easily verify.
There are also reports that civilians in Uror county, displaced as a
result of the fighting have been moving towards Akobo on the Ethiopian
border.

Where are STUPID EQUATORIANS, who hid themselves during the war of
Arabs with Dinka and now, that there is food to eat in South Sudan,
they came even along with their grandmothers and grandfathers looking
for food. Purporting that uneducated Dinka have liberated the country
and they want to own it. How difficult it will be; otherwise you will
see by your eyes. Fuck greedy EQUATORIANS!

Mr. servant or
Whatever you call yourself, you sounds like someone who was
brought up in a refugee camp who know little or nothing at all about
the liberation struggle of the southerners. without the equatoria
region or equestrians, the SPLA that today you re using as a tool for
looting and killing civilians would have been in a dust bin of history
of Sudan.you re suffering from tribalism.

Sir King,
Equatoria is not a tribe. You can’t insult the whole region.
Secondly, even if it were to be a tribe, they can’t be bad all. Some
elements among them might be bad. However, do not forget the
contribution of their few sons during the war of liberation. We know
Comrade Wani Igga, Mamur among others.

Sir King,
Are you finished now? B4 I give your my "Equatorian" response,
just read through this. Day 1.God made Adam and Eve. Day 2, he created
all the other human beings and after that all animals and insects. Day
3. While resting, he forgot of two things: flies and the jienges. Day
4. he created the flies and Day 5. lastly the jienges. This explains
why the jienges are many and worse than flies.

- We have never been corrupt but EQUATORIANS came from their
hideouts being Uganda, Congo, Kenya and Central Africa Republic to
introduce such rampant corruption in South Sudan. Government should
take stance for all NGOs job recruitment be done by Ministry of Public
services, so that we avoid foreigners call EQUATORIANS from abusing
the system. Corrupt is what know for COWARD EQUATORIANS.

Sir King,
In Juba we used to run after naked jienges and taunt them
"aryan jienge kudwal kudwal". They would get angry and want to beat us
up. But in the end, they liked us cos we taught them to wear
underpants called "abu nandhara".Today, these naked creatures are
calling themselves benydits or Sir Kings who forget their humble
origins from the luaks. What a surprise, my God!

- Wait for while, we are planning. They will regret to why the
used to behave so. Unless they apologise to their wrong misdeeds
towards Dinka population. We lost over 7,000 Dinka soldiers when Yei
was captured, and over 5,000 when Kaya was captured, and over 20,000
when we waged war over Juba especially around Ministries, Thongpiny
and around airport.

Looting and raping were the reasons. when yei was captured in
1997 where were the looters(the dinkas). if not the powerful youths
from western equatoria who formed 7th division which liberated yei and
most counties of central equatoria. tell me about OTB if at all you re
not a returnee. Failure is your characteristic.

Sir King,
These are just numbers. No jienges died in such numbers
otherwise they would finish. Are you more than flies?

- Our two attacks on Juba in 1996-97, we lost almost over 30,000

disturb us. Remember, all NGOs and this fucken UN will one day go and
you will see with your STUPID EYES. FUCK YA Rujal Mafi, Lubas Mafi,

Those Dinka you claim to have died died because they were
not really fighting but were trying to go looting as they are used too
even before that.

Joseph Canada,
How ungrateful are you! You could talk like that
because you didn’t loose/sacrifice anything for the independence of
this country. I bet you didn’t vote during the referendum, or if you
did, you may have voted for the unity of the then Sudan. But don’t
worry, your ill wishes against this country won’t materialize.

Sir King,
I read you mention the word "f**k" so often. This explains why
your fellow jienge SPLA go raping old women, teenage girls and who
knows you would want to sleep with goats one day. I think, your life
in luak among your male peers has led to uncontrollable sex urge to
the point of sodomy. There is now rising HIV/AIDS among jienge
soldiers than b4 watchout. Control yourself man!

Sir King,
Well, such animalism in you is the reason why we civilized
Equatorians have to keep away from you cos you like f**king like
chimpanzees. It appears your strength is not in the brains but between
your legs and the mass of your brains could be as small as your
testicles. That is worrisome. May be afterall it was the cow that came
first and not the jienge or?

Dear Editor of Sudan tribune,
I have been sending you the request to post the petition of
Shilluk community in the Diaspora but you have not publication the
petition until now. This is an indication that you are very selective
in your publication and this could be consider as bias.

I used to like Shilluk Kingdom and the people, I promised to
marry their daughter one day, but the way you people are behaving
nowadays is childish and tribal.

Whether territory under rebel or government controlled, expanded
or reduced. The truth is, we are losing lives. those lives are what
made this country. Stop tribal agendas and lets put this country back
on track. Today we are here laughing someone death tomorrow will be
you or me and this continues.This country is bigger than our personal
interests. trust me.
