July 28, 2016 (JUBA) -Three supporters of General Taban Deng Gai,
newly appointed First Vice President to replace Riek Machar in a
controversial process, were seriously tortured and were beaten nearly
to death by groups of internally displaced person (IDPs) after
discovering their underground campaign and bribery of other members of
people staying the United Nations camps.

An eyewitness told Sudan Tribune that the three men were caught by a
villante group, known as ‘Nuer Four’ or N4 police who have been
mandated by the community to put law and order in the protection of
civilians site.
He said one man had been reported with serious injuries in the body
after the local police in the camp discovered their activities and
beat him.
It is unclear why civilians seeking protection at civilians’ site
resulted in such activities, but officials there said people are
deeply divided over recent decision to appoint the SPLM-IO former
chief negotiator to replace Machar, with overwhelming majority in the
UN camps still supporting Machar.
A close allied to Taban Deng GAi in Juba has confirmed that the
incident occurred, but added that “it is a minor case.”
He said most of those seeking protection at civilians’ site in Juba
and other states are very desperate about the life in the camp.
“You know most of the civilians in the camp are not happy about the
recent development of appointing Gen. Taban Deng Gai as the first vice
president to replace Dr. Riek Machar Teny in the Transitional
Government of National Unity,” he told Sudan Tribune.
He however added that the new first vice president “is progressing
well despite all condemnation by the members of supporters of Riek
Machar.”
However, residents in the camp told Sudan Tribune that the situation
at UN camps in Juba remain tense as supporters of Taban Deng are being
targeted. It is confirmed that most people in the UN camp are
restricted to get out, but some politicians are accused of fuelling
the situation.
They said the recent appointment of Gai is calculated to further
divide the Nuer ethnic group into separate rival groups.

Chuol, the three are reported because they were beaten
otherwise, there are multitude others who feared the craziness of your
people and decided to play it calm.
Since, when did Taban become an Arab boy? Was he not the same
Chief negotiator whom proudly used to praise? You idiots are indeed
food lovers. No wonder why people of your caliber are hopeless. Peace
must be implemented with sensible Nuer

Some nuers are ready to be drawn into petty issues really. The
appointment of El Tabani is aimed at abrogating the ARCISS as well as
breaking the strong bond of kinsmen that holds the various Nuer
community together. I am wondering why do nuers want the dinka to toy
with them all the time; why the infighting?

Eastern,
Dr. Riak is eloquent, intelligent and visionary. The jienges
dread him so much that they want him dead and want to get away with
soft Targets like Taban. Sadly, the Nuers under Taban have foolishly
walked into this trap of divide and rule. Imagine the Nuers stood as
ONE THING, the jienges would have to chew granite. Why have the
Equatorians not joined the SPLA-IO in large numbers?

Jubaone, in case u do not know the reason why equatorians
didn’t join baseless riek rebellion, it is because they r smarter than
u n poorer nuer civilians. Every one including dinka r against the
performance of the government. But rebellion or coup is not the
solution to getting rid of current government. Peaceful transitions is
what we want. Riek and Kiir shld quit politics for good.

Nuer an immatures, an impatient, tempermentuous, lack
of thinking through before actions is an explicit on their ways of
doing things. There is no hold on a second in Nuer behaviour. Nuer let
others people get in to their minds quickly and manipulate them. Unity
bond in Nuer can be broken by outsiders quickly.

More than three weeks ago IO whom majority of them
are Nuer fighting government in Juba. I thought they can be patient
enough to united and let go their differences,instdead they are about
to kill themselves. I’m just wondering but not surprised, in fact
everyone knows Nuer behaviour, they can kill themselves any times they
want.
