What happen in Fashodo County these days are regrettable events! People are being massacred in day time by SPLA soldiers with illusion argument that they are searching for illegal weapons. Innocent people killed by SPLA soldiers were accused as militias of SPLM-DC. The question that poses itself is, were SPLA soldiers authorized by their leaders to burn down houses, to displaced people, to rape them, and to loot their properties in the name of disarmament?
If this brutal killing was not intentional why these criminal do armies refused to allow people whom they murdered in cool blood to be buried? The situation is very bad and horrible and cannot be comprehends, for deed bodies were rotten which is unbelievable.
Sadly military spokesman, Kuol Diem reiterated that his army had destroyed two camps of Dr. Lam militias and denied that they never killed any civilian, alleged that militias were living among the community. Kuol Diem, you are not consistence in your argument, if those alleged militias live among civilians and your army attacks them, automatically there will be casualties among civilians. I know you are bound of not tell the truth, you had done it on several occasions. Indeed, you can deny that fact before the men but you will never ever do that insight of God who created them. The bloods of such people are crying before the Lord as blood of Abel.
Truth of matter is this; Collo is facing this affliction because members of its community ( such as Oyay Deng and Alfred Akwoc) who were voted out in April election exclaimed that tanks must be deploy in Collo to punish them because they refused to vote them in. Frankly speaking Collo kingdom rejected to vote them in as result of previous experiences they underwent with SPLM government. Crucial examples are Malakal Stadium incident on 9.1-2009, Anakadier and Abaniem killing and leave alone giving Collo land such as Pij by President Kiir. Sound minded person could not blame such community for action they have done, because they were denied by that government in the time of desperate and need for consolation. If such government was humanist they supposed to apology to that community, rather than imposing their imperialism notion of domination.
Up this moment where people are being massacred by SPLA soldiers no body reacted or challenged these atrocities inflicted by SPLA soldiers on their own people. Now, can we be mistaken to term our brothers in SPLM government as heartless and ruthless people? The goodness with Collo communities they did not failed their sons in silence, but these guys were told blankly that they are not going to vote for them, especially if they come in the name of SPLM party which they regard as partial party that never have real concern about whole south but about one ethnic group in expense of other communities.
Collo is fully aware that cool war champion by SPLM government is something well strategically plan, because the President Kiir announced in one of occasion that the enemy of south now is Collo. Therefore, the SPLM government must deal with it thoroughly. The President Kiir must be assured that Collo will not be subject to Dinka monopole government until Jesus comes against. Kiir must know that Collo is third major tribe in Sudan and cannot be marginalized by any government.
People murdered by SPLM Dinka soldiers were not militias, because they never attack any SPLM soldiers, but it was SPLM soldiers attack and murdered them in cool blood in the name of disarmament. Behavior of SPLM soldiers is inhuman and is crimes against humanity rights. Indeed, such criminals must be brought to book if SPLM government is true worthy government for all.
Shockley, the patriotic liberators such Oyay and Alfred had heard such terrible statement utterance by the President Kiir about their own community, but they failed to react. Then what leadership they are aspiring to have, if they never speak on behalf of their communities targeted by their boss. Tribulation and agony affecting Collo never excluded the relatives of SPLM members, who support criminal acts of President Kiir blindly in the name of nationalist. Regrettable if SPLM Collo members are eliminating their own communities in expense of unity and nationalist, they should not forget that when this project is over, they will have the same fate.
The minister of peace, His Excellency Pagan Amum is silence as if there is nothing happening in Collo, this can be interpreted in many ways. But for me what is a point of being minister of peace and your mother land never experiencing that peace? I think charity started at home then it goes to others. Personally I cannot enjoy being called minister of peace and my people are being slaughtered like chickens, what is reason for being proud if your entire community is in destructive stage of war carry out by government that appointed you. I t is real humiliation and disrespectful to you personal.
To be honest with readers, the whole Collo communities are not members of SPLM- DC as it had been alleged by SPLM party. In real sense they vote out SPLM party as reaction to what happened to them without special attention being made by President Kiir and their representatives in ruling party during past five years. Indeed, the massacred Collo experiencing is reaction of SPLM government for embarrassing election vote out in Collo kingdom. I think SPLM government should not try to cover their real intention with unauthentic lies in order to confuse the public opinions; this is why they level this killing to militias.
Also In democratic system every citizen has right to vote in whoever he wish to vote for. Therefore, there are no mandatory rules that give ruling party to punish those who refused to vote for it. To me what is taking place within SPLM party is undemocratic system, for they think any person who challenges them is their enemy and is regard as agent of PCP. This is backward and non- modernizes perception.
Elimination of Collo communities will not give ill intention land invaders to accomplish their sick objectives whatsoever the case. History tells us that Hilter tried hard to eliminate Jews and killed six million of them, but today we still have powerful Jewish state of Israel, for no one had full right to eliminate creature created by God, except God alone has that authority.
Strongly I believe that God who fought on behalf of Jews people will fight on behalf of Collo communities being targeted by the GOSS. Now, by expressing my disappointment to the claim leaders, I will be term as SPLM-DC member. But let me challenge such illusion accusation that I am not. And I will not go in bed with any political party. For if I do that it will be great suicide, for I have given green light to oppressive party or government to destroy innocent people like what is taking place around in the south Sudan. No one will escape God judgment among us, and we will give account before God mercy throne for every small act.

Hi Pualino, being A man of God or a pastor, it doesn't prevent someone to express his/her opinion publicly about any matter he/she think it needs to be addressed. And I think that what the pastor Amum has done. He wants to voice out his opinion. What do you think about this satement by the man of God John in Matthew (3:7)..." you brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?. By the way John the Baptist was talking to the leaders of Isreal nation that time. How do you call Him? Hyopcrite, of couse. That is not true. What about Pastor Martin Luther in US who fought for the rights of the black American and many more.The Church leaders have role to play when there is injustice in the country.

SPLA and its militiants have been killing Collo people before the establishment of SPLM-DC in June 2009. In addition, SPLM-DC is not only the political party in the south, but there are other parties as well. So if SPLM and its GOSS is killing Collo civilians because of their political association, killing should be carried out against supporters of other southern political parties. Furthermore, SPLM-DC members are not only Collo people, but they are from different tribes across south. Then Collo should not be a taget on this unjustified allegation.
We understand leadership as a profession to serve, protect and defend the subject. However, to Oyay Deng Ajack, Dr. Adok Naba, Pagan Amum and Alfred, leadership means to them as mean to please their bosses in SPLM to keep their jobs. Therefore, they will never speak against crime carry out in Collo land. To find remedy to our grievances need strengthening of our effort and unity and cooperation. We are put on test by SPLM/GOSS as Turks and Arabs did it.
Let each one or group of Collo people continue fueling the flame of effort they started and those who have not thought of taking redemptive step begin now wherever they live. Together, victory is ours.
Long live Fashodo Kingdom.



what is happening in Chollo Land is the same as what happened against Acholi tribe in Northern Uganda during Idi Amin'regime in 1970s. this is African leadership ways which is base on tribal line. Idi Amin was known as "the Butcher of Uganda" for brutal, despotic rule and was possibly the most notorious of all Africa's post-independence dictators.
I am quite sure that Kiir will find himself following the feetsteps of Idi Amin if thing continue in the way we are seeing them these days.
it's a huge conspiracy of silence about the genocide which has been comitted in Chollo areas.
Genocide start graduately by using different tactics. Yesterday was under the ownership of the land and many were killed by the SPLA and today by pretext of Militia in the land and tomorrow something different, but the aim is killing the target tribe.
This vicious insanity and cynical politics will put Kiir in a position to be wanted by the international criminal court (ICC) someday, if he will not consider what is going on and take a decisive action by warning the SPLA soldiers from exercise the killing of innocent people. Bashir was acting as if no one will report him to the court.
