Greater Upper Nile Community Condemned De facto President of South Sudan President Museveni and His Vice President Salva Kiir for Using Worldwide Banned Cluster Bombs on Civilians in Upper Nile, Jonglei and Unity States
February 18, 2014 (SSNA) — We, the Greater Upper Nile Community in Diaspora has condemned in the strongest terms possible wickedly air bombardments using international banned cluster bombs on our civilians by war mongers de facto president of South Sudan, President Museveni and his Vice President Salva Kiir. The whole world completely banned the use of cluster bombs in any war, but the two East Africans criminal warlords have launched cluster bombs air bombardment in South Sudan civil war which will have long term catastrophic consequences on South Sudanese civilians and its soil for many years to come.
A war criminal President Yoweri Museveni has never used cluster bombs on Uganda rebels (LRA) except on South Sudanese civilians. The Greater Upper Nile Community acknowledges that Vice President Salva Kiir Mayardit and De facto President Museveni do not have a genuine gut feelings to spar lives even in a war time, but they merely have deleterious hearts and minds to use the lethal bombs to slaughter the people of South Sudan as they perpetuated to carry out this scorched earth policy on Nuer civilians in Upper Nile, Jonglei and Unity State, so that to occupy and declare it as no man land.
Therefore, Vice President Salva Kiir has accomplished his goal of massacred Nuer civilians comprised of about 7,500 unarmed men, children, women and government civil servants in Juba on December 16, 2013 and also had killed over 10,000 Nuer civilians in Jonglei, Unity State and Upper Nile State.
The community also strongly condemns the ethnic cleansing committed and yet currently still carrying on in Upper Nile State Capital Malakal by the combinations of South Sudan Army (SPLA) and its mercenaries ally forces of SPLM-N and Justice Equality Movement (JEM) of Darfur. These ally forces had done the same targeted mass-killings, a house to house of targeting killings, aggregately to exterminate Nuer ethnic group on the face of earth as it happened in Juba in December of 2013. After government retook Malakal town from rebels, the state Governor Maj. Gen. Simon Kun Puoch successfully urged Nuer civilians who took refuge from UN compound in Malakal City to return to their residencies. After their returned to respective residencies, the Dinka officers within National Army (SPLA) once again took laws on their hands and went house to house targeting Nuer Civilians and massacred more than 3,000 civilians in Malakal town.
Finally, we, the sons and daughters of Greater Upper Nile are monstrously appealing to the UN, US, EU, AU and the whole International Community to cease President Museveni and Salva Kiir Mayardit from bombing our civilians with lethal cluster bombs and immediately bring these two criminals to justice.
