The public was quiet for an entire month without discussing the controversial advisor to the Lou Nuer, L*l Ruai Koang, also known as Gatnyadiet. Your message was offensive, absurd, and beneath the dignity of the intelligent Lou Nuer community.
Your message misled many people and is unfounded. Where were you in 2014? Before you defected to the SSPDF, when the Lou Nuer white army was killed and defeated in all battles, you were the spokesperson for the SPLA-IO under Dr. Riek Machar, whom you criticized as a loser and a warmonger. Were the Lou Nuer who died during that time any less important than those you are now advising to abandon the SPLA-IO?
This might be the first time I have seen a trained military officer publicly addressing his community in such a manner. Every army represents the nation, not just one subsection like the Lou Nuer. General L*l Nyadiet, you have lowered your status from that of a national army officer to a local figure within Cie Longor in Akobo West, which is not even representative of greater Akobo (including Walgak and Bilkey) or the greater Lou Nuer (which comprises Uror, Nyirol, and Akobo). I had thought your silence indicated a recognition of your oppression concerning the aerial bombardments in Nasir and Fangak, as well as the critical situations in Central, Eastern, and Western Equatoria, Panyijar County in Unity State, and Bahr el Ghazal State carried out by the SSPDF and UDPF against civilians, resulting in deaths and destruction of shelters.
Instead, you seem oblivious to their suffering and the dangers they face. Now you come forward to tell the Lou Nuer community to remain neutral. Are you abandoning the SPLM/SSPDF to lead the Lou Nuer Independence State? Or will you continue as the SSPDF's spokesperson while advising the Lou Nuer to stay neutral, all while enjoying your beers and pizzas in Juba? What have you and your leader, General Salva Kiir Mayardit, done for the Lou Nuer community?
You need to understand your standing within the community. You are an insignificant and self-proclaimed advisor to the esteemed Lou Nuer community. Regarding your claims about Uror and Nyirol Counties, they are mere fabrications. There is no tension between the SPLA-IO and the Lou Nuer white army against the SSPDF, despite your recent assertions that the SPLA-IO is coordinating with the white army to attack the SSPDF in Yuai and Waat, while isolating Rt Hon. Nathaniel Pierino Oyet, the Acting Chairman and Commander-in-Chief of the SPLM/SPLA-IO, as an Equatorian who would supposedly not be supported by the Lou Nuer community.
What does General Salva Kiir Mayardit represent in this community? Does he even have a genuine connection with the Lou Nuer? The Lou Nuer community cannot afford to abandon other South Sudanese and stand neutral, especially when other Nuer communities are suffering daily at the hands of the national army (SSPDF). Do you believe the calmness in the Lou Nuer land is an act of betrayal, selfishness, or egotism? We have achieved peace by choice, while other conflicts weigh down the Lou Nuer community.
The Lou Nuer have always been the backbone of the Nuer tribe and South Sudan, and we cannot remain indifferent to the suffering of our own people in places like Fangak and Nasir. If conflict arises between the SSPDF and the Lou Nuer, we will not turn a blind eye or bow our heads; we will not allow ourselves to be provoked without cause. Do you have any real support within the Lou Nuer community? Have you ever visited Akobo County? Since your defection, you need to engage with our people face-to-face instead of relying on radio or television, as many Lou Nuer people do not use these media. Your message seems to originate from a coordinated nightclub group chat meant to appease your master (SKM), but no one will accept your baseless advice.
