JUBA — A member of South Sudan’s Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly on Monday moved a motion to summon Governor of Central Equatoria, Emmanuel Adil Anthony, and Minister of Interior, Mahmud Solomon over the recent killing of three people in what appeared to be land-related conflict at Gumbo-Sherikat of Juba.
Two civilians and a soldier were also reportedly killed during a confrontation between security forces and the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) over land wrangle at Gorba area of Mangalla Payam on 15 December.
The shooting happened when the Ad-hoc committee formed by President Salva Kiir early this year went to investigate a report of land grabbing when they were allegedly confronted by the locals in the area.
Hon. Kornelio Mawien Dhor, Member of Parliament representing Tonj North County of Warrap raised a motion to summon Minister of Interior, Mahmud Solomon and Governor of Central Equatoria State, Emmanuel Adil Anthony, and head of Ad-hoc Committee, Michael Chanjiek to explain to the August House what went wrong.
“Rt Hon. Speaker, the information I would like to post to this August house is about the cold-blooded killing of our innocent people at Gumbo-Sherikat. The incident that occurred on Wednesday, 15 December left three people dead in cold blood including a woman and three men,” Mawien said during the parliamentary sitting on Monday.
“I kindly request the August house if possible we can summon these four leaders to come and explain to this august house what has happened since the August house is here to speak on behalf of voiceless,” Mawien added.
The lawmaker expressed anger over what he described as the brutal killing of innocent civilians by the government.
“We will not allow our people to be brutally killed by their government. I would like to ask this August house to summon these ministers to come and explain the reason why they have not regulated the resettlement of our people in the capital city,” he said.
On the 11th of August this year, President Salva Kiir issued an order forming a committee to address issues of rampant informal settlements and land grabbing in the city and its environs.
The 12-member committee is co-chaired by Michael Chanjiek, the national minister of lands, housing, and urban development, and Emmanuel Adil, the governor of Central Equatoria State.
The committee is mandated to map out areas affected by informal settlements and land grabbing in Juba City and Juba County, including estimates of populations, household numbers, and other related demographic data.
It is also tasked with ascertaining the causes of informal settlement and land grabbing in Juba County.
The order mandated the committee to summon and interview any person or persons including community leaders where it is appropriate to establish any information relating to the subject matter.
Equatorians politicians have attached racial issues with the lands grabbing. If it was not a racist perhaps, the location was inside Juba’s city and the citizens who have been resettled far away from city should not be subject to killing.
Governor Emmanuel Adil and Mayor of Juba are responsible for what had taken place last week. The video shown, the government security forces were killing two civilians and one soldier in real forest and this is absolutely not about law enforcement but it was a racial designed to targeting none of Equatorians people who are resettlement outside Juba’s city.
Sad for the killing of innocent people, I hope this does not relate as posted by Aduol, it should be a government order restoring the law in place.. Let us avoid quick conclusion when ever issues arises..
“Parliament to summon Central Equatoria governor, interior minister over Sherikat killing”
That was last year. Why isn’t Juba city council changing that Sherikat (Industrial areas) to South Sudanese sounding, I might be like Mr. Riek Machar gaslighted lighted fool. I know South Sudan name must changed. our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan have wedged their evil feet badly into country. Mostly In Nuer community and some some low low lives in Equatoria. South Sudanese people don’t know their enemies. Our existential enemies, are the Bantuses, cloned so-called North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopian) prostitutes, the evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their gulf Arab states terrorists, the UK, even US rank least. Roman Catholic, Anglican, all the Indians dirty gods, voodoos . Read this links:https://www.jesuits.org/about-us/the-jesuits/
In democratic republic of Congo (DRC) or former Zaire, why is DRC Congo not at peace? Because, they believe in bullshits and the devil has been playing game with them since 1960th. Jesuits are terrorists. There are some in South Sudan who listen. they always others to their *heavy lifters and then come and say they are also South Sudanese*

Lam Akol, Pagan Amuom, Majak Agoot, Rebecca Nyandeng, her son, Thomas Cirillo have sold themselves to devil——they don’t want to face the reality. The society of Jesuits, oath taken in US senate and congress is their oath. Joe Bidden is a Jesuit criminal. Barack Hussein Obama is a terrorist. Don’t you the often come and lecture about democracy—–US is not a democracy, but a republican. But for people in the know, US owns by corporations and multinational and cartels. They just do do their elections every four years’ cycle. And the so-called campaign contributions and are the winners. innocent Americans are *bombarded with Hollywood propaganda and that they voting for democracy and other countries, are autocrats* There have them. There was a very with his words, former USSR president, Mr. Josef Stalin. he said, “you can elections, but the people who counts election results are the winners” Mr. was a dictator, but probably who like social sciences would who really dictators.
If Mr. Hitler didn’t let his ball carried him and went poke his nose into Russia. The wouldn’t have the devil infested island England today. Red USSR, were the ones who defeated Germany. Not the US and the devil infested island England and their evil propaganda machines. Here in South Sudan, I am Red army boy, our elders just named us after the Red of Russia. We Arabs pretty badly out out of country. They have not gone, they are North Sudan, Some parts Abesh (so-called ethiopia), Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs. But they are going to blitz to Kingdom come, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. There is oil left in Saudi Arabia, and the gulf Arabs’ states.
The low lives even projected that oil here in Upper Nile, will be refined in Saudi Arabia oil infrastructure and that we can live sides by sides with Arabs, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, Bantuses, evil juus (so-called israelis), Nigerians, Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans, white Americans, white English people, Italians and it is *REGIONAL INTEGRATION——-that is the code word for *MICRON VIRUS——COLD WAR in other word* You are going to be shown your right place. jail and ocean—–pirate of Malta or what the Pirates of Caribbeans, yeah that what you are fellows, just man a take bitter pills. payback times. You have been challenged.>>>
Coward parliament, instead of bringing the matter to be discussed at table, you are summoning people that does not matter to the problem. Why not to summon governors in areas with inter communal fights & cattle rustling where people in their areas are killed in huge numbers.
