Dear Countrymen,

The fans of Yirol West County Football Team held a serious deliberation on a number of issues concerning yesterday’s match against Twic, which was abruptly interrupted shortly after we scored. We initiated a conference call joined by many fans to decide our collective position on the unfolding events surrounding Yirol West.

Yirol West has been a consistent target of unfair treatment across all counties of Bahr el Ghazal, including from local media outlets that are supposed to remain impartial. Lies have been spread about Yirol West, even when the truth is clear, and propaganda has been deliberately invented to tarnish our good name as a county.

Fellow Countrymen,
This witch-hunt against Yirol West began during the Lakes State Peace Tournament (LSPT), a competition we thought was intended to celebrate peace under the leadership of H.E. Gen. Rin Tueny, following years of communal clashes among our people in Lakes State.

To remind you;

During the LSPT quarterfinal against our neighbors Yirol East, Yirol West scored just 2 minutes into the game. As often happens, our problems began the moment we scored.

After 15 minutes, a Yirol East fan named Dor Zande invaded the field, seized our goalkeeper’s handkerchief, and physically attacked him, accusing him of using charms. The match was stopped and rescheduled for the following day at 9:00 AM.

Yirol West showed up on time as instructed by the LSPT technical committee and waited nearly five hours before Yirol East arrived at 2:00 PM, far beyond the scheduled time. Despite this unfairness, Yirol West complied, played, and eventually lost.

As peace-loving people, we respected the decision and upheld the purpose of the tournament. Yet immediately afterward, Yirol East launched a propaganda campaign branding our team as a “juju team.” This falsehood spread widely across Bahr el Ghazal, fueled by powerful local media outlets such as Hot in Juba, where sons of Yirol East are administrators. They succeeded in tarnishing Yirol West’s name and dragging our reputation through the mud.

This has always been the price of our success, winning the Bahr el Ghazal Counties League back-to-back and being the first county to win a regional championship in its first two editions. No other county has matched this record, and until today, Yirol West remains the last and only county to achieve it. Our strength and resilience cause panic among others, who then conspire to bring us down.

Coming to yesterday’s match against Twic;

Once again, Yirol West scored within the first 10 minutes. Immediately, Twic fan and comedian Mariak wickedly initiated a plan to cause chaos and have the game cancelled.

Mariak deliberately ran into a BCPT steward, knocking him down in cold blood, before pretending to be unconscious. This sparked attacks from Twic and other Bahr el Ghazal fans, who assaulted Yirol West supporters and players, leaving several of our players seriously injured.

Thankfully, there is clear video evidence capturing Mariak’s actions and the subsequent attacks.

Despite this, Twic Mayardit Sports Daily and other Yirol West haters reported a version of events completely different from the truth. They continue pushing their usual false narrative, even in the face of undeniable evidence. This is deliberate mischief.

Yet, Yirol West maintained its composure yesterday to disprove the false accusations of being a “problematic county.” We exercised restraint and upheld peace even when deliberately provoked. Every honest person saw what transpired and how responsibly Yirol West handled the situation.

Our Resolution as Fans;
Last night, Yirol West fans held a meeting to consider pulling out of the BCPT due to the continued unfair targeting, hatred, and conspiracy against our county. However, in the spirit of democracy, we put the matter to a vote. Many fans opposed withdrawing, arguing it would tarnish the tournament, the good name of its chairman Majok Ayar, and the integrity of the region.

Therefore, our decision is based on the following resolutions:

1.BCPT must immediately eject comedian Mariak from all Twic matches and all other BCPT activities to safeguard the future of the tournament.

2.The BCPT leadership must decide the fate of the tournament, as it is already losing the purpose for which it was formed.

3.The good name of Yirol West County Football Team must be protected from the lies spread by Yirol East and their allies in Bahr el Ghazal.

4.For security reasons, all remaining Yirol West matches should be moved to Juba National Stadium.

5.The hooligan from Gogrial West, Deng Parek, must be warned to drop his malicious propaganda campaign against our team and be banned from attending our matches.

6.The technical committee and referees must refrain from showing bias to ensure the remaining matches proceed fairly and successfully. Our second goal was unjustly disallowed yesterday without a clear explanation. Everyone saw it was a valid goal, and it was not an offside

Regards,
The Pride of Yirol Fans

The Tragic Death of my brother Tong Gong aka Tong Gongdit,
On the 9th, around 5:00 PM, Tong and several other brothers went for an evening walk near a well-known church on 15th Street in Maadi, a residential area in Cairo. Along the way, Tong decided to return home to retrieve something he had forgotten, while the others continued on toward the area near the church. They remained there for nearly two hours, but Tong never rejoined them.

Around 7:00 PM, they left the area. A few minutes later, Tong called to say he had gone to the church area but couldn’t find them. They explained that they had already left and, due to his delay, they didn’t expect him to show up. Tong replied that he wouldn’t come to a place where they were currently .He said he was just taking some rest and would head back home.

Later that evening, one of the brothers attempted to call Tong regarding another matter, but his phone was unreachable. Assuming his battery might have died or that he had switched it off, they tried calling again around 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM, but there was still no response.

At approximately 11:00 PM, as they were returning home and climbing the stairs, a young child rushed to them with alarming news: Tong was found lying unconscious on Medan Nadi, near the church on 15th Street. They rushed to the scene and found him bleeding from his head and mouth, surrounded by Egyptian police officers. When they tried to carry him to the hospital, the police stopped them.

Despite the severity of his injuries, the police did nothing for some time. One of the brothers quickly called Dr. Michael Mathiang Ngong, the Educational and Cultural Attaché at the South Sudanese Embassy in Egypt. Upon his arrival and intervention, the police finally called an ambulance.

Tong was first taken to El Rayan Hospital, where a CT scan revealed multiple brain injuries, including epidural and subdural hemorrhages, as well as fractures at the base of the skull. However, the hospital did not have a neurosurgeon on staff and recommended transferring him elsewhere. He was given IV fluids (saline), but no further treatment was administered.

While in the ambulance on route to another hospital, the saline stopped flowing, and the brothers accompanying him feared he may have passed away at that moment. Upon arrival at Qasr El Ainy, a major public hospital, he was admitted to the ICU and placed on mechanical support. The brothers who brought him in were immediately taken by police for questioning.

At around 4:00 AM, the hospital informed them that Tong had also sustained severe neck injuries and that his breathing was irregular. By exactly 5:00 AM, the hospital contacted two brothers to inform them that Tong had succumbed to his injuries. His body was moved to the mortuary and is awaiting release pending the completion of legal documentation.

One of the brothers, who was taken back to Maadi Police Station for further questioning, reported that CCTV footage showed four South Sudanese youths suspected of attacking Tong. Sticks were found near the scene, and the nature of his injuries suggests he was brutally beaten with sticks—no knife wounds were observed. While the police have arrested several individuals, it is still unclear whether the actual perpetrators are among them.

Due to the complex legal procedures in Egypt, accessing the full CCTV footage has been difficult. However, Tong's family and community are determined to pursue justice and ensure those responsible are held accountable.

Tong Gong was more than just a student—he was a brother, a friend, and a visionary with immense potential to serve his country, his state, and his community. He was a fourth-year veterinary medicine student at Cairo University and a former chairman of the Aweil Youth Union in the Arab Republic of Egypt.

We are deeply saddened that his life was cut short by senseless violence. This incident reflects a disturbing trend. Egypt is currently hosting a large number of South Sudanese refugees, many of whom are teenagers with no guidance or support. Unfortunately, some have become involved in criminal activities, including drug use and alcohol abuse, and they often target fellow South Sudanese.

We call on the Government of South Sudan to engage with UNHCR and Egyptian authorities to urgently address the growing threat of lawlessness among some members of the South Sudanese community in Egypt. Many lives have already been lost, particularly students—our future leaders.

May the soul of our brother, Tong Gong, rest in eternal peace😭😭😭

Aweil East County Commissioner Holds Dissemination Meeting on Commissioner’s Forum Resolutions

Monday, 8th September 2025 - The Commissioner of Aweil East County, Hon. Garang Thiang Deng, convened a dissemination meeting with Executive director, county directors, payam administrators, and chiefs. The purpose of the meeting was to share and discuss the resolutions passed during the First Commissioners’ Forum, which took place from 18th to 22nd August 2025 at Aweil Grand Hotel.

In his opening remarks, Hon. Garang expressed his appreciation to all participants for attending and listening to the forum resolutions. He stressed the importance of the meeting in ensuring that the outcomes of the Commissioners’ Forum are understood and eventually will be implemented at various administrative levels later when we are told to start implementing them.

The Commissioner also announced that the County Government of Aweil East is planning to organize Payam-level forums in the coming months to further disseminate the forum resolutions to the grassroots.

In his closing remarks, Hon. Garang clarified that most of the resolutions are not yet in effect, as they are awaiting approval from the State Government. However, he highlighted two key resolutions that can be implemented without prior authorization:

Theft Resolution: Any individual caught stealing will be sentenced to two years in prison without the possibility of bail until the sentence is fully served.

Chieftaincy Resolution: The practice of separating or creating new chieftaincies has been suspended. Chiefs are warned not to recommend individuals seeking new chieftaincy titles.

Permanent Chief Lual Malong Yor (Manyangdit) expressed his gratitude to the Hon. Commissioner and the State Government for these resolutions. He particularly praised the theft resolution, noting that it will help curb crime and reduce theft in Aweil East County.

The meeting was attended by the County Legal Advisor, chiefs, A.E.C Executive Director Wiik Awan Tem and other county officials.
