It was on Monday evening that I received very strange and ugly news from Malakal.The County Commissioner of Pinykango was removed and replaced with another one. The reason for that step is weird and cannot be comprehended by a sound mind.
He had refused to give a piece of land within his county to some Nuer Lau displaced during the civil war and had found refuge in Obel.They (the Nuer) want that area to be named as their Payam.
As I am writing this piece, Hon. Mustafa Mayak Gai was arrested and taken to the security premises for interrogation.Hon. Mustafa who hails from Pinykango County won the elections for State Legislative Assembly in the card of SPLM-DC. Right after the elections, he was arrested and stayed for five months in the army jail somewhere in Khorflus.
At the moment the youth of Pinykango County residing in Malakal are in a serious meeting discussing the issue.They are expected to come out with a resolution of a peaceful demonstration and handing over to the state government a letter of protest.
We will not accept and we will stand always firm for any piece of land in the Collo Kingdom.

في بداية أودعن اشكر الاخ كارلو جيمس شول للخبر الذي نشره في هذا الموقع الالكتروني مما لاشك ان أتفق معك جملة وتفصيلآ فيما يتعلق بقضية الارض ولا يمكن تناذل عنها مهما كلفنا الامر إن الارض تتبع لمملكة شلو ولا يمكن تلعب به .
إما فيما يتعلق باعفاء المحافظ السابق فهذا شان الداخلي لحركة الشعبية فالحركة له حقية يعين من ويعفي من ولكن المهم في الامر هو كيفية نحافظ علي ثوابت مهما كانت الامروشكرآ

What happened to the law which states that land in South Sudan belongs to communities? I will have to find out whether the story is true because if it is, then, it is the violation of the Interim Constitution of South Sudan to settle the Nuer against the will of Chollo chiefs. If the community leaders refused to settle the Nuer in Panyikango County, the Commissioner, even if a Chollo, has no legal justification to settle the Nuer. Being a Chollo Commissioner will not legitimized settling the Nuer if the community chiefs who own the land reject the settlement.
We should pray that Gov. Simon Kun Puoch would not create more land disputes
in Upper Nile State. We already have a dispute between Dinka of Jonglei and Chollo. Adding another one would be a cheer madness and stupidity.Gordon Buay

Kun Puoch is Nuer and he has no right to claim the land of Chollo/Shilluk for his tribe/Nuer though he is representing the governor of the great Upper Nile, South Sudan. Constitution of South Sudan a Constitution of South Sudan and Kun Puoch is just a Nuer. Nuer Constitution is not South Sudan's Constitution. At the same time, Nuer Constitution is not Shilluk Constitution. ... and that is that!

Do not think guys that you have govrnment in south Sudan.Forget that at all.What happened in Collo land last year and in the fangak this year is the true idintity of govrnment of south Sudan.Traditional leader are more better than them. Traditional can solve a problem,but I have never heard these govrnment talking about land grabbing and insecurity of civilians. Instead of proventing problems their creating them. What mr Kun puoch is doing now is supported by govrnment of South to creat conflict among the citizens.The is a old philosophy of how to rule for long time.

I think the comisioner of panykang county if compard with the two former commissioners is the better-known in term of security-related issues,in his period there was peace alitle bit .although i differ with him politicaly,but agree him in the way he was governing the county and that's the typeof politicians we want ,those who look at government post as means of serving people not killing them. so my friend's you have shown the best you also will be rewarded in the future
The resolutions of the youth meeting yesterday:
1. Re-instate the former Commisioner Mr. Pagan Ochay
2. Remove the newly appointed commissioner Mr. Gabriel Nyawell.
3. Transport all the displaced Nuer residing the claimed area.
4. Demarcate the borders between the counties.
5. Etc.
All these must done within 72 hrs.
