Re-Condenmation of 49 killed in Torkeech
By Lou Nuer Community USA
The government of South Sudan GOSS shall not condemn Lou for killing Jikany through Hearsay evidence and without a proof of corpus delicti. The authentications are merely the best writers but lack of Physical evidence.
In Nuer culture, an intentional killing of child and a women is prohibited; but Gajiok started it in the morning of March 12 2009 by killing the following family.
The first Family:
Gai Lam Chakuen Buah ( The Head of the Family) 54
Nyathep Tut (the first wife to Gai Lam)49
Nyayien Kot ( the second wife to Gai Lam)37
Nyadeni Gai Lam -17
Nyathiang Gai Lam-15
Thijin Gai Lam-7
The second Family:
Lok Malual Nhial ( known as Lok Nyatuor Chakuen Buah)-52
Nyamani Kuon Buay-45
Nyayien Luak Nyuon-33
Mother of Nyagony Kot (mother-in-Law to Gai Lam)- age -75
Nyatirit Lok Malual Nhial- 15
Nyanhial lok Malual nhial--13

These patients have a lot of fractures, skin damage and they are under 12 years old of age.
The 12 deceased and 4 wounded were all from one family that has nothing to do with who killed Jikany men. But they were brutally killed in case of just two men. How can the GOSS government justify such killing?
Your article stated: “According to the Nasir development official, in March a fight between one Jikany clan and Lou resulted in the deaths of 14 people of the Lou including women and children, thus prompting the revenge attack Friday”.
There was no such thing as fight between one Jikany clan and Lou at the time when those deceases were murdered. But an unknown numbered group of Jikany carried the same type of ambush Lou used to kill people in Torkech. And the different is that Lou attacked Torkech while Jikany has no other war to fight.
Instead, Jikany carried the killing while Lou was at war with Murle tribe. Gajiok as Nuer could not wait for men to come back and kill a man in revenge of their two men who were also killed days earlier.
More clues:
A day after Jikany murdered 12 people in Konyerek, and wounded 4 others mostly women and children, Lou fighters from Murle arrived in Akobo finding the news of massive killing done by Jikany. Many of these fighters wanted to proceed to Jikany area for revenge, but elders advice them not to go to Jikany because they believe the revenge would have been a severe killing in Jikany side.
On April 18 when 12 payams of Nyandit on the South side of Akobo were attacked by Murle tribe, Lou young men from Toch ran to rescue the people from the Payams. Behind them, a group of Jikany men attacked the cattle camp thinking that all Lou young men left for rescue in Akobo. The attackers were captured alive but released later. What credit could the GOSS grant to Lou for releasing the attackers because they are Nuers?
Recently before Lou attacked Torkech, Jikany killed 5 men from Lou in a village called Makak and one wounded. This is what triggered Lou to take an ambush to any village of Jikany. Could the GOSS still Condemn Lou?
