Nyandeng Malek Deliech narrowly escaped an “assassination on her life” yesterday at a function in Home and Away hotel after groups of youths heavily armed with AK47s stormed the function centre where she is seated there as a chief guess. Nyandeng was invited to attend a youth artists function to preside as a chief guess for the event when the incident happened. While the function was going on, a group of heavily armed youths suddenly appeared. The armed youths entered the centre despite the heavy security at the gate. They then tried to manipulate their way into the VIP area where the governor is seated. However the Governor’s security details saw something suspicious as the men were trying to bypass everybody while holding corked guns near their chests. Nyandeng’s security agents confronted the men and asked the front gates security for help. The men were forced out of the function centre by the combination of the heavily armed Nyandeng guards and the function security personnels. Governor Nyandeng was also rushed to the back of rooms of the function centre. A few sections of the crowd were reportedly overheard saying “Nyandeng Must Go!” 4 Youths with guns were arrested and another 7 believed to be “syndicates for the plot” are also under investigation. Governor Nyandeng is battling to extend her 6 year terms as the governor of Warrap State. She was sworn in as the governor of Warrap on 25th of May 2010 after she won 517,149 of electoral votes in the 2010 Sudan elections. *ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. NYANDENG MUST NOT RETURN TO KWAJOK* But the intention to add 3 more years to her tenure is slowly proving to be difficult as youths in the area threatens to disrupt any parliamentarian sitting that debates about any extention. Yesterday, a group of youths who spoke to the Upper Nile Times’ Reuben Dau in Kwajok said that they don’t want to see the governor back to the state again. “We don’t want Nyandeng and the parliament that is now trying to give her 3 more years. They must all go. In fact we don’t want Nyandeng to come back from Juba. if she comes, there will be a bloodbath. people will fight to oust her. she cannot force herself on the people of Kwajok and Warrap in general” – a group of youths told Rueben. Governor Nyandeng Malek’s term in the office like all other governors in the country will expire next week (9th of July). So will the tenure of President Kiir and the Parliament. However, the group have been trying to manipulate their stay by extending it to 3 years citing the ongoing crisis in the country as a reason for extension of their various terms. *THE UPPER NILE TIMES* -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
