JUBA – A newly formed rebel group is demanding self-determination for the people of Upper Nile state saying it will wage assault on Juba should the unity government led by President Salva Kiir and First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny refuse to recognize the demand.

The Upper Nile People’s Liberation Front/Army (UNPLF/A) was formed this week and its leaders include General Sebit Kong Kuon, a former National Salvation Front (NAS) commander who was arrested in Khartoum in January last year for trying to buy military uniforms from members of the Sudanese army.

In a statement extended to Sudans Post, the new rebel group accused President Salva Kiir of creating a system of governance in which the people of Upper Nile state and the country as whole have developed ethnic hatred that makes future united country impossible.

“The man-made civil war that took place in the country since December 2013 and SPLM-ruling-party-political crisis which associated with them has created destruction and devastation in the region and sow divisions among the communities and which is something created and delivered by Kiir regime. President Kiir government intentionally destroyed the health and the peaceful social fabric that existed between these communities who have co-existed together for centuries,” the statement extended to Sudans Post reads in part.

“The Greater Upper Nile communities have been living in love with each other but now have become divided by devil inform of human. The sons and daughters of Upper Nile Region have confirmed that Kiir’s regime has politically and militarily manipulated, planned and planted the long hostility/hate between the Upper Nile communities,” it added.

The group said it is calling for self-determination and will fight on against the government if demand is not met accusing the government in Juba of killing innocent people of Upper Nile state to remain in power.

“The movement is demanding and calling for right of self-determination for the people of Upper Nile Region to stop Kiir regime ill policies and hostility against the Upper Nile Region or gaining the right of self-ruling as federal system of governorship in South Sudan,” it said.

“If the regime failed to accept our demands, then we will work to create  a new sovereign independent state politically, economically and security comprise of nine ethnic groups namely- Jie, Kachipo, Anyuak, Koma, Murile, Chollo, Dinka, Nuer and Maban, which are make up the former nine (9) districts of Upper Nile Region during the colonial era,” the statement added.

General Henry Oyay Nyago has been named the interim chairperson and commander in chief of the movement. Despite the strong-worded statement, it remains unclear if there is already an existing force that will wage the war as demands are unlikely to be considered.

    “New rebel group demands self-determination for Upper Nile region”

    Our Nuers ke nyantoc fools and your foreign backers, *lawlessness games over South Sudan and the South Sudanese people is over*.

    Call your *Ngun Daeng Buong and your Riek Machar magician* to come and play games with *the Mounyjiengs/Jaangs/Dinkas/Jenges* again and called your foolish selves, “the evil juus (so-called israelis), attack dogs, in Africa ever again” and let your Ngun Daeng Buong or your Riek Machar gods help you.

    Ten (10) states you low lives and your foreign *backers* have been desperately trying to play over ‘the Mounyjiengs/Jaangs/Dinkas/Jenges’ is not going to pass over our country and over our people ever ever again.

    Your lawlessness and love of foreign things without first find out the *facts behind your masters* is what is always used by our enemies over you and our country and over our people all the times.

    You Nuers ke nyantoc low lives are always told *to find out what do the Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes in our Gambella region get from our ‘Anyuaks land of Gambella region’s big farm’ which is being financed by *the evils in the world Banks and the IMF*.

    And you lowly informed fools would look at you threateningly and scream at you and scream, ‘Jaangs/Mounyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenges’

    Our Nuer ke nyantoc fools, your Riek Machar has long since gone to Deng Nhial battalion. Take it or leave it. South Sudan is a ‘Jaangs/Mounyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenges’ country. Go and look for ‘your Riek Machar and Ngun Daeng Buong magic’ elsewhere. Probably in *the devil infested Island of Island, UN building in New York, Iraq (Junti Iraq), Saudi Arabia and South Africa.

    But I am telling you, fools. There will not be your *evil white people in South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbawe (our Bantus allies), Zambia, Angola, Malawi, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic republic of Congo (Zaire), Central Africa republic (C.A.R), some of their Bantuses from West Africa* We are ‘the Ancient Egyptians fools’.

    You low lives have been bogging down our country and our people progress all the times. But these days, the ‘Jaangs/Mounyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenges’ are not playing games with you.

    We don’t want *the evil white Americans, English people, cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, your so-called Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, some of their Bantuses, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, your UN, your UNMISS, Indians, Nepalese, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, et al.

    *AFRICA UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION*.

    WW3 is going to start here in South Sudan. And you lowly informed Nuers ke nyantoc are going to be *ANSWERABLE for THE WIPE OUT of YOU and YOUR ALLIES*.
