Re: Lou Nuer Community in Australia Condemn in the strongest Terms possible the repeats Attack on Pajut by Salva Kiir’s Army
May 19, 2015 (SSNA) — On May 17th 2015 at 9:35 am, combine troops of Salva Kiir and its allied mercenaries have attacked Pajut Payam of Uror County Lou Nuer (Bieh State) killing civilians, women and children. This deadly attack on Pajut come at the time when civilians were going about their daily activities, planting seeds and cultivating their farms as the rain season began early this month.
Heinous crimes and human rights abuses have been committed in Pajut against innocent Lou Nuer populations mainly children, women and the aged by Salva Kiir forces and its allied militia aided by platoon of UPDF and mix-Recruits of SPLM-N.
These combine forces of Salva Kiir and its allied mercenaries have killed innocent civilians, women, children and the aged. They have looted cattle, burnt down houses and destroyed planting seeds before the later were defeated by the brave SPLM IO freedom fighters and the local youth.
These horrendous acts of human rights abuses and the killing of innocent civilians is not acceptable. Therefore, we the Lou Nuer Community Association of Australia are calling on the African Union, IGAD, UN Security Council, the International Community, US and the European Union to take swift and tough action against the government of Salva Kiir and thus, arrest this ongoing bloodletting and help end this horrific human suffering.
We urge, the United Nation Security Council and the International Community to hold the government of Salva Kiir responsible for attacking and killing innocent civilians, burning their houses and looting their properties at Pajut.
Finally, we the Lou Nuer Community Association of Australia is urging Humanitarian Aid Agencies to provide these displace civilians with basic humanitarian assistant such as food, medicine etc.
