The Nuer National Memorial Day | Dec 15, 2013!!
Ten years ago today, on December 15, 2023, the deadliest massacre of the Nuer people was carried out in Juba by the Dinka regime to eliminate Nei ti Naath on the ground, in the air, and door-to-door.
This massacre is the worst in Naath history, and we have never seen anything like this. The Dinka regime waged war against the Nuer, killing women and babies in their homes.
Dinka soldiers carried out a door-to-door genocide in Juba on this day and killed 20,000 Nuer people, including women and infants. This is the deadliest massacre that has ever happened in South Sudan.
The war continues and has spread to different parts of the country, especially in Nuerland. Nuerland was destroyed by the Dinka regime using the state military with help from other nations like Uganda and Kenya.
In fact, between 2023 and 2018, more than 400,000 Nuer people have been killed, with more than 896,000 displaced from their homes, fleeing to refugee camps in Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Sudan, and more than 35,000 urbanized in the Western world, such as the USA, UK, Sweden, Australia, and Norway.
In 2016, the Dinka regime formulated a fake peace agreement so that Dr. Riek Machar, the former South Sudan Vice President, could come to Juba, intending to capture and kill him. This led to the second genocide of the Nuer by the Dinka military regime. Dr. Riek Machar fled to Congo by foot for 40 days with no water and food to eat, but he survived, with hundreds of Nuer killed along the way to protect him.
Right now, as you read this, Nuer are the major refugees suffering across South Sudan and are displaced from their homes. There are infants with no parents or caretakers; moms are struggling in the refugee camps because they don’t have a husband to help raise their kids together.
Naath Needs Freedom,
We are not free until every Nuer child is free!
