Subject: A Call for Urgent Dialogue Between Jur Maan-Angeer and Nyarmong.
By John Akol Ayok, 24th May
Dear Apuk Elders, Educated Sons and Daughters, and Leaders of Apuk Giir Thiik,
Peace be upon you all.
This morning I came across the pictures shared by Dr. TITO RING GUMDIT showing the suffering of people in Jur Maan-Angeer.
It broke me to see children, mothers, fathers, and grandparents enduring this pain in their own land, with no clear intervention from state or county authorities.
I write to you not as a stranger, but as your blood as your daughter’s son. I was born, raised, and educated in Apuk Giir Thiik, thus Regarding being native of the Kuac Ayok Community.
Though we are different communities, we share Warrap State, border
and more importantly, we share blood, history, and responsibility for one another.
Apuk Giir Thiik has always been known for welcoming everyone, for generosity, and for producing professors, PhDs, Masters Holders, Doctors, Generals, Journalists, Engineers, Political Analysts and leaders.
With such wisdom and influence in your midst, you cannot sit silent while your future generation relives the suffering of war time.
The conflict between Jur Maan-Angeer and Nyarmong does not need to wait for government action.
Titweng Youths, elders, educated Youths, Sons, daughters, and leaders have the capacity to sit together on one table and resolve this matter through dialogue. That is how our grandparents kept peace before.
I am pleading with you today, take the lead, Organize a community dialogue. Bring both sides together.
Let's choose peace, unity, and togetherness for the sake of your children and for the name of Apuk Giir Thiik.
If Apuk needs development, they should unite and stand tall as One Apuk
You have the people.
You have the wisdom.
What You need now is courage.
