As we all know that President Salva Kiir is working day in day out for the restoration of total peace in the country, there are some people within the system who are working for the downfall of the President and one of these people is the Chief of Fire Squad, The man who mobilised innocent civilians to clear Naam River with their bare hands after president suspend it until public consultation.
First of all, I would like to send my condolences to aggrieved families whose sons, fathers, uncles and in laws were mercilessly burnt and fire squad in Mayom County.
It is one of traumatise scenarios to watch after military confrontation decades ago between GATRY forces and SPLA in the town of Gogrial in 1996 where we ran zig zag to dodge strays bullets.
Governor Nguen Monytuil has committed a great mistake by taking the law into his hands while forgetting the martial court that can tried criminals who are terrorising the people. None of us was happy with them because of the crimes they have committed by killing the commissioner Gen. James Chuol Gatluak with 12 other people, we have been praying to God that they're caught and brought to book but we were not expecting burning to death or fire squad without due legal process.
Governor Dr. Nguen Monytuil should know that Killing of captives or prisoners of war is a crime against humanity and it is violation of Geneva convention for the protection of the victims of war. Therefore, it is unlawful to violate the law that will give bad image to your country.
According to international convention for the protection of victims of war held in Geneva from 21 April to 12 August 1949, It is a war crime to willfully kill, mistreat, tortures POWs. No torture or other form of coercion maybe inflicted on prisoners of wars.
For peace to reign in Unity State, president Salva Kiir should dismiss Dr. Nguen and appoint another person to unit the people of Unity State because it is proof beyond reasonable doubt that Dr. Nguen Monytuil has failed Unity state and South Sudan at large.
Lastly, President Salva Kiir should know that fire squad and burning to death of the captives or POWs will mount to the delay in lifting an arm embargo which was imposed on South Sudan couple of years ago.
DR. NGUEN MONYTUIL CAN'T FIRE SQUAD AND BURN TO DEATH YOUR PEOPLE AND EXPECT TO BE AMBASSADOR OF PEACE. IT IS BIG NO!
