The Lou Nuer Community EldersRe: IGAD, UNIMISS, and the International Peace Facilitators
Waat, December 14, 2014 (SSNA) — December 15, 2014, marked the heart fall anniversary for the 20,000 innocent Nuers who were murdered by Salva Kiir Mayardit’s Gelweng- Private tribal army in Juba Capital City of South Sudan. While this incident has created general impact to the Nuer people at large, we intend to send our condolences to the families who lost their love ones. Our praying and hearts will always be with them.
The Greater Lou Nuer Community elders in Central Lou Nuer, want to enlighten the IGAD peace mediators that, talking about peace with Salva Kiir Mayardit still calling himself the President of South Sudan is the Biggest Insult to our Nation. We want to remind the IGAD and the International Peace mediators that Salva Kiir Mayardit have lost his legitimacy as Country’s president on December 15, 2013, and immediately at the time he ordered his Dinka Private army to kill innocent Nuer people simply because they are Nuer, and failed to apologized to the Nuer community as country’s leader.
Our message to IGAD and the rest of the world is to understand that NO PEACE is going to come to our Nation with Kiir still a leader in the Country. If you mean for peace to come back to South Sudan nation, you should instead focus on removing Kiir from the country’s leadership, and have Museveni of Uganda return his army to his Country. You failed to do this and continue to dismay our conscience by talking about peace that does not make any sense to use as people who Kiir and Riek are leading. Our point here is for Kiir to step down from his leadership, otherwise, forget about those nonsense peace talks.
We understand that Dr. Riek Machar is a politician, who might be influence or convince by you or the world to agree with Kiir’s peace negotiation, but unless he bring back the 20,000 Nuer alive for us to follow him to Kiir’s Government.
If Dr. Riek will agree with your peace negotiation and choose to go back to Salva Kiir’s Dinka Government as Prime Minister, YOU MUST understand that we are not part of that peace. We will continue to fight both Kiir and Riek until they get out of that leadership together, and we will select another leader to lead our Nation.
We are the fathers and the Mothers of the Nuer White Army in Central Lou Nuer, and therefore, our ultimate goal is that all South Sudanese regardless of their tribal affiliation enjoy to live without fear from anyone in South Sudan their Nation. We offered our White Army children to sacrifice their lives in order to fight to free the Nuer from the Dinka manmade disaster over the Nuers. We will fight until the last man to defeat Kiir from his power.
