Speaking to Sudans Post in an interview on Friday evening, Thon Deng, a local chief in Akoka said approximately 500 youth from counties bordering Ethiopia including Nasir, Maiwut and Longechuk attacked several villages in Akoka County at dawn on Wednesday leaving several people killed and others injured.
“We have been standing here in the county headquarters in Akoka because some people have told us in some villages that have been burned to dust that many youth from Nasir and some counties bordering Ethiopia are the one attacking and their number is approximated at 500 and this has caused great security concerns among the local population here and because of this many people have left Akoka,” Majak said.
Another local official confirmed on condition of anonymity in Malakal that local authorities in Akoka have reported fighting in villages, but said no preparations have been made to send members of the armed forces to the area to separate the fighting groups or prevent future attacks, downplaying the significance of the fighting as ‘little clashes.”
“We have received some calls from the local communities that there has been fighting in the area and this is not that much significant compared to the insecurity in other parts of the country, but we are looking into but we don’t have forces to send and this is little clashes and it will be handled with negotiations at the community levels and I mean between the chiefs whose people are involved in fighting,” the official said.
The cause of the fighting has remained unknown, but local officials in Nasir said armed youth from Akoka and some parts of northern Upper Nile counties attacked Nasir last month resulting in the killing of at least 25 people and the wounding of 37 others suggesting that the latest assault on Akoka villages is a revenge from Nasir and Maiwut youth.
“There was an attack carried out by Akoka or Apadang youth in general last month in January and I think this is the base for that attack against the people in Akoka. The army hasn’t said anything and they almost knew that there was going to be an attack there in the areas around Akoka but no security measures have been put in place to prevent this thing which is known before hand,” the official said.
The latest ethnic violence eruption comes barely a few days after President Salva Kiir Mayardit announced during the closing session of the people to people Jonglei-Pibor peace conference conducted in Juba that he won’t send members of the national army or police to contain violence if similar attacks were to happen again.
“Next time you go for fighting, I will not come to help you again, and even, I will not appoint any committee to go and investigate the fighting in that area,” Kiir said on January 28 at Freedom Hall in Juba.
“I will maintain the small army and police around me. I have decided that if any fighting [erupts] again, I will not send any soldier or police. I will allow you to fight till the end. But I will help you and defend you [when you run to me]; after that, do not talk like a man,” the visibly furious head of state added.

Our Nuer ke nyantoc fools, be very very careful. What Akoka? Akoka is an Apadang Jiengs, Mounyjiengs/Jaangs or Dinkas village.
