OBITUARY:

Death occurred last night of my son William James Ogilo Agor in Renk, Upper Nile State, and South Sudan. William was a lecturer in Wild Life Management in Upper Nile University at Renk. It is to be recalled that he was badly beaten and tortured, together with some Dr Riak Machar SPLA soldiers, who had gone to sell some goods, by the Sudanese Armed Forces Garrison in Rabak in 1997, while going to Khartoum to present his field research thesis for MSC degree. The torture resulted in damage to both his hearing and brain ability. We tried to bring him to USA for treatment and PhD studies twice, but the US Embassy in Cairo could not pass him. Since then, he has not recovered.

He was born in Malakal on January 29, 1965. He is survived by wife and four sons and a daughter.

May the Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace.

James Agor.
