Dear people of Panyijar county, what you did today have truly shown that you are such ungrateful people, remember in 2022, More than half of your county was submerged in water, you came to Yirol East county and were accommodated in Karer village, some of you joined the communities and were given farm lands and were having access of trading freely up to Yirol town and other parts of lakes state. Not only during the floods of 2022 but this has been the norm (Kill after satisfaction) since your county can’t go 3 years without famine.
The floods minimized but the hunger was looming in your area, you shared with people of Yiro East the little harvest they had. As all these was being offered there was no month that have ever passed without you killing 2 or 3 people because of a single cow or kill to see if he is carrying money or a phone. In 21st century, who are you to kill 3 young people because of only one cow or because you want to check their pockets if they might be carrying valuable items? How heartless is that?
The cattle you raided today are sweats of the people who are struggling across the world to buy cows and maintain culture and heritage of our ancestors, you have been raiding for centuries but we have never heard one day that a girl or a man from Panyijar county married with highest bride Price, your county also is not among the top ten counties with most cows in the country. There will be no day a community will become rich because of stealing or raiding.
Yirol East County is one of the counties with highest GPD in the country, if you were good neighbors, your county would have been the richest county of Nuer. Yirol East county is one of the counties with most educated people in South Sudan, if you were good, neighbors, your county would have not been the least educated among Unity State counties.
The people you killed today are elder or young brothers of some of us in towns, they were foundations of some of bigger dreams because people in town are nothing without their brothers in the villages, you broke some families and shattered dreams. and that won’t build you. Innocent blood always hunt.
Our people may overcome this but for how long shall you people of Panyijar remain stealing, raiding, and living on hopeless kind of life? Why can’t you wake up and do something for yourself. Educate your kids, they will have better future, catch fishes and bring to Juba, you will earn clean money.
Leave savage life for your own good
May the souls of our brothers Rest In Peace
