Pres. Kiir initiates a new militia training camp in Jie, E. Equat.
State, says Governor
Dec. 29 Politics, Uncategorized 9 comments
BY JUSTIN S KWAJE, JUBA DEC/29/2014;
South Sudan Liberty News received a direct report from Torit, by a
very reliable source close to the governor of Eastern Equatoria State,
Mr. Louis Lobong Lojere, that the governor has grown inpatient and
distanced himself from what the SPLA spokesperson, Col Philip Aguer,
had earlier stated, that his government discovered three rebel
training camps in EES state, one at the border of Acholi and Ma’di in
Lobonok Payam, a second inside Nimule and the third in the disputed
area of Jie located between EES and Jonglei State.
This new development came one week after the SPLA reported having
finished a search in the Nimule Corridor from mountain to mountain,
home to home, for rebel activities and came back empty handed.
Meanwhile the informant disclosed that governor Lobong categorically
rejected this false Juba accusation to implicate the People of EES,
and that Lobong was very angry and said the so-called ‘uncovered rebel
training camp in Jie did not belong to any rebel groups but it is
rather a camp opened for dubious reasons by the President Salva Kiir
himself.’
He further worrisomely stated that this is to train additional
Presidential guards also known as Kiir’s private militias. The record
of this militia is tarnished with the blood of fellow citizens killed
in December 2013 in Juba, thus this is not good news for the people of
EE state and its malignant design is directly aimed to put down any
uprising in Eastern Equatoria State and in the Greater Equatoria as a
whole and the Governor wants nothing of it in his state.
He concluded that whatever begins with bad will ends bad, but the
great people of EE will not allow a massacre of the scale of Juba or
any for that matter in their territories. “This report given by the
government was simply a decoy an Kiir is actively plotting against the
people of Equatoria through the use of his tribal Militias, just as he
did against the Nuer!”
Therefore, he, Lobong has no knowledge, as the top man in his state,
of any paramilitary training camp in EES other than that one in Jie,
operating under the direct order of Kiir to produce additional private
Presidential guards, our informant narrated to us.
This new development coming from a close source to Gov. Lobong must be
treated with grave concern and urgency by the public and political
leaders of South Sudan, as many can recall and have fresh memory of
the Juba massacres carried by this same private militias trained by
Kiir at the expense of tax payers’ money.
We are placing this alarming development in the top news to let our
compatriots know that Kiir and his henchmen are gearing for yet
another tragedy in our nation.
We are about to witness a second gruesome state-sponsored massacre in
the lapse of less than two years, tragically enough there are people
still ignoring this unfortunate event and still in the misguided
propaganda that Kiir is a legitimate elected President, therefore he
cannot relinquish power.
“An election does not give one an absolute power to tramp upon even
those who elected you. Lucifer was created holy but when he committed
sin against the One who created and put him in the place of beauty and
power, he lost his legitimacy; thus was cast out of heaven.”
“So who is Kiir that once elected he can not be touched despite
becoming irrelevant and illegitimate by the acts of raising an illegal
militia, inventing a coup and massacring the very people who elected
him?” added a state offical.
Our informant reports Kiir and his Bahr El Ghazal generals have tried
all that is possible to provoke the Equatorians to armed fight so that
they, the generals, will use this as a pretext to crash the
Equatorians, which they believe is easy for them to accomplish.
These Generals are now very apprehensive because the people of
Equatoria on their own have started resistance to Juba.
Our informant also revealed to us that other private militias under
Kiir would soon open at the border of Western Equatoria state with
Warrap, Lakes and Western Bahr El Ghazal states, strategically to
serve the Jieng power over the rest of South Sudan.
Meanwhile the commander of SPLA Division II who is responsible in
overseeing the areas of Nimule, Pageri, Opari and Moli, issued a
provocative remarks that, “let the Ma’di begin the war, they, the
soldiers, will destroy all the concrete buildings in Nimule within a
day.”
This uncivilized rhetoric set most Madi businessmen and elders in
anger, “this is an unfortunate remark coming from the Division II
commander whom the vice President James Wani Igga had just said last
weekend that the mandate of Division II is to protect the civilian
population with their properties.”
“Were we misled by Wani Igga to sit and wait so that we will witness
the whole demolition process of our homes?” said an elderly
businessman in Nimule.
The commander of Division II himself is a Dinka, though the particular
Division II on paper is under the the overall command of Gen. Obutu
Mamur.
It must be pointed out that the locals are filled with fear and
anxiety that they have been subjected by their own government to
constant intimidation, fear and terror created by the Division II army
since their arrival in the Madiland in pretext of going after rebels.
Since when did civilians become a legitimate military targets other
than only in the Kiir led government?
“We in EES call upon the UN to pressure South Sudan to respect human
rights of all South Sudanese and work towards institutional reforms in
order to achieve a just and lasting peace,” concluded the state
official.
But this message from the international communities falls on deaf ears
in Juba. The question now is, will Lobong continues to be a “Yes Sir,
Man,” as he now seems to have seen the light, since the tribes that
will be crashed, if Kiir can, are most likely his own Toposas and the
Madi?
And will the already toothless Juba parliament sit with folded arms
and allow a second massacre to happen when they have the
constitutional mandate to impeach and to stop Kiir from bleeding our
nation?
The Future of this nation no longer is in the hands of Kiir, if left
in his hands the shadows of death shall overrun our nation.
My fellow countrymen and women, the future of this country lies in
your hands and mine, not that of Kiir and his henchmen! The more Kiir
remains in power the more Souls will be lost and perish.

To acknowledge all my people of South Sudan that, there is no
security jobs for the three governors of greater equatoria. Kiir is
now in position to fire them and replace them by Dinka. Even the job
of Vise president. And obutu mamur are no secure, they can be fired by
Kiir and replace them by his home town Dinka men. The totality future
of South Sudan government will be like white minority of South Africa
rule black majority during apartheid times. When Kiir with his home
town Dinka have succeeded with their plans of born to rule south Sudan
then they can channel our country revenues as they wanted. So I
personally argue the three equatorial governors should wake up and
speed the process of federal system in south Sudan. After rolls when
the small tribes of South Sudan combine together, they can out number
Kiirs home town dinka. The small tribes of entire south sudan,
together you can liberate from this chronic civil war and poverty to
become a great country for our future generations to come.

Dear brother Kwaje, following the Nuer massacre in Juba by the
Dinka president with direct support from Museveni, the Equatorians
people have been just watching their fellows Naath generals fighting
alone the Ugandans troops, SPLA N and Darfurian as if Dinka is not our
common foe. By the way,If you don’t’ act now, history will never
forgive you.

Majondit,
The article specified that ‘sources close to the Governor of
Eastern Equatoria’ originated the news of the militia training camp.
We stand by the author of the article and it’s authenticity.

Government militia training fields are expanding rapidly in
Eastern Equatoria. Most people the government named IDPs in the State
is just to seek for international aids to support unknown government
plans against the people in Equatoria. Unlike the training in Magwi
County, the training in in Jie and in some isolated parts of Equatoria
are comprised of Dinka only. The training in Jie was opened by Kuol
Manyang. Today if there are Dinka IDPs in your area, please watch out.
They are for a different purpose than you know. They are using IDPs as
pretext, these are armed Dinka been directed to your area by
government. Don’t be surprised, these IDPs will soon cause damage in
Equatoria no body would like it.
It’s late that the governor is speaking angrily. Dinka had long
time covered his face with blood money. Some Equatorians who are still
being used can’t see the suffering of their own people. But one day we
will be free from this virus.

Justin S Kwaje, if not only a sake of writing on website. Noneses
are not good, you have to write something that can help a citizen of
south Sudan. there is nothing called Militias under Kiir it is a
general plan for directorate of SPLA training to recruit as a
sovereign state .kiir is a president that who was been elected if
there is any mistakes from him why not to be patient so that to
contest in coming elections rather than to rebel and killed innocent
citizens. Preaching in the name of Dinka tribe to gain some individual
benefits locally, regionally or internationally will not take us a
head, most Dinka people are now more suffering than you who occupied
most positions in public and private sectors.

Death has made people mad to talk like this asI am very sorry
could nuer turn against James hoth! If there was no James, you would
have not still insisted to rebel. Many Dinka leaders have died through
his tactics. It was my first time to see anti-tank being chased away
by mere men in Dong but this was done for nuer to succeed in defeating
the spla. Time has come for you not to rebel the third time! Warning
to rebel with in! if they will run to heaven when what they planted
burst
