JUBA - Steering committee recently formed is illegal, an intellectual says

A prominent intellectual of Aweil East community has described the recent formed 11 member steering committee as Illegal.

Yesterday, a steering committee headed by Agany Kuol Kuol known as Agany Kuol Ayuikwiir emerged on social media with a call to convene a community general Assembly of Aweil East in Juba.

The committee issued stern warning of 14 days period for the community chairman Garang Deng Aguer to organize a general Assembly, and this is the move people describe as illegal.

Reacting to the formation of steering committee, Mr. Bol Marol discourage the influence of negative narratives or action that discourage the unity and peacefulness of the society

“We must be cautious about the influence of negative narratives or actions that may sow discord within our community. It is disheartening to see certain individuals, such as Agany Kuol Kuol and his associates expressing sentiments that could undermine our collective peace,” Bol stated.

He further added that
“Let us remember that our strength lies in unity, understanding, and respect for one another. We should focus on fostering reconciliation and cooperation, ensuring that Aweil East remains a peaceful and prosperous community for all its members. Together, we can build a brighter future rooted in harmony and mutual support,” Bol added.

“Aweil East community has long been celebrated for its peace and harmony. It is essential that we continue to uphold these values and work together to prevent any divisions that could threaten the unity we cherished,” Bol described.

Mr. Bol support the peaceful and democratic transfer of power than the illegal means that install the disunity
“Hon.Garang Deng Aguer,the Chairman of Aweil East community in Juba will remain as a chairman until the transfer of the leadership will be fostering by the general assembly peaceful but not illegal steering committee that has been formed by the individuals for the reasons known to them,” Bol concluded.

An Open Letter of Disappointment: Standing with Our People, Despite the Silence from Leadership

By: Agul_Bol_Deng_Khon
As sons and daughters of Northern Bahr El Ghazal, we are deeply disappointed and saddened by the recent condemnation statement issued by our governor regarding the fundraising efforts launched by our community. These efforts were initiated in good faith to support victims from Aweil who were brutally attacked in Jonglei State. Rather than receiving support and solidarity from our leadership, we were met with public criticism — a move that not only disrespects the spirit of unity but also undermines the urgent needs of our people.
Our youth — hardworking traders and peaceful citizens — have faced repeated attacks, often in silence, while carrying out their businesses in Bor and surrounding areas. These young men are not troublemakers. They are not criminals. They are simply trying to build a life for themselves and support their families back home. For years, we have seen a disturbing pattern of violence targeting them, with little to no response or intervention from those in power.
It is not only unjust — it is unacceptable.
When our community came together to raise funds, we were not acting out of defiance. We were responding to a crisis. We were trying to show compassion, responsibility, and unity — values that we expect our leaders to embody, not suppress. To condemn such an initiative is to silence the pain of our victims, ignore the fears of our youth, and discourage the collective action that binds us as a people.
The people of Northern Bahr El Ghazal deserve leadership that listens, supports, and stands with them — especially in times of tragedy. Our youth deserve protection, advocacy, and respect. And our victims deserve healing, not political games.
We call upon the governor to reconsider his stance and acknowledge the real issue: the safety and dignity of our people in Jonglei State and beyond. We also urge national authorities and local leaders in Bor to address the ongoing attacks against innocent traders and to promote peaceful coexistence between communities.
We, the youth and concerned citizens of Northern Bahr el Ghazal, will not remain silent when our brothers are bleeding. We will continue to advocate, support, and stand with our own — not out of rebellion, but out of responsibility.
History will remember where each of us stood during these difficult times. Let it be said that we chose compassion over condemnation, unity over silence, and justice over fear.

BOR INCIDENT ON TRADERS

The committee tasked to follow legal action against Bor Sept12 incident, responded to the gov't decision that cancelled the legal action.
The committee said it consulted the people of Aweil, families of the victims, Diaspora, and public to explore the way forward.

"We found out that the public highly recommended continuation of the legal action, with implications to serve justice. Therefore, the Committee wishes to reiterate the following:
1. While the Response Committee respects our state government, it must be made clear that the
committee was not formed by the government but by the individuals on a voluntary basis.
2. The citizens concern formed the committee to deliver on two objectives, which are to:
(a) Seek compensation for the losses and injuries sustained by the victims.
(b) Pursue justice for the victims and serve as deterrence against such actions in future.
If the state government or relevant groups had met these objectives, there would have been no
need to form this Response Committee to pursue justice against the Jonglei state government
and related attackers.
3. Finally, the Response Committee will periodically freeze its activities for the period of four
weeks to give two state governments—Northern Bahr El Ghazal and Jonglei States—a chance to address the above objectives for which this Committee was formed, while the court case remains open to be resumed by the victims or their representatives, should there be no legal action taken," the committee Press Statement read.
