Uncle Angelo and his young nephew late Ywomo Daniel Othwol were both killed by the Nuers Wild Militias , Just  for no apparent good reasons  apart  from the Nuer’s gone wild the rampart spree of looting  , causing havoc to the Shilluk’s unarmed innocent civilians , and  the savage destruction  of  the  Chollo’s prosperities in Malakal . This was  Nuer’s evil intentions   ethnically cleanse  the Shilluks people in Malakal , while the Nuer tribe have become another  South Sudanese  Janjaweed  in Malakal, ,or  these Nyagatas (the Nuer’s White Army Militias ), are trying to copy the Hutus in Rwanda . And the  question we the family members of Late Uncle Amgelo Othow Nyikango , who was killed by orders from  Dr,Riek Machar , is that why are those savage Nuer Nyagat’s Militias , or these Nuer’s South Sudanese  Janjaweed , targeting the innocent unarmed Shilluks people. And  while at the same time Dr.Riek Machar, and  his savage Nuer Nyagat’s Militias , or his  Nuer’s South Sudanese  Janjaweed, leaving alone the Dinka villages and towns  like Shambe  where (Marial Chiunoung) comes from , Yirol –where Telar Deng Ring comes from ,  Cuiebet the Village where Daniel Awat Akot comes from , Tonj the Village where Aleu, Aleu Deng comes from  , and Aweil Village where  Paul Awa Malou comes ,  Gorgrial in general the Village where Salva Mathok comes from . And last but not last why is Dr.Riek Machar, and his savage Nue’rs Nyagat’s Militias , or his  Nuer’s South Sudanese  Janjaweed, not invading and targeting the Gorgrial- Village of Awan Achan , which is the village where  president Salva Kiir , and what is particular about Malakal town and the Shilluks, that is being targeted by Dr.Riek Machar, and  his savage Nuer’s Nyagat’s Militias , and  his  Nuer’s who are the new Janjaweed of South Sudanese,
