Busy Mangol Market In Mangol Apuk Overruns by Heavy Armed Nuer Men From Unity State
At 4:00 am, on 27th of May the peaceful community of Mangol was suddenly attacked severely. A rain of bullets landed on them heavily.
The attackers are said to be armed militia men plus other government soldiers stationed in the Unity State.
“They were shooting everyone they see, I was shot in my left leg, but my cousin was killed because they shot her in the heart” said a survival.
The yesterday attack is the third one in the same month of May.
The eyewitnesses confirms that more than 45 people are dead even though the commissioner reported 15 only. In addition to hundred of wounded women and children and thousands of heads of cattle raided. They also say there are so many missing children and adults which they cannot conform dead at the moment.
“We missed Governor Victor Atem, when he was a commissioner, things like these cowardice attacks do not happen”, said Deng Maluk, one of the survivals of May 27th Mangol Horrific RAID.
None of the governments made a statement neither Unity nor Warrap and the national government to condemn the horror attacks the Mangol Apuk faces for three days, but the Commissioner of East Gogrial wrote this condemnation statement.
It is more likely for Governor Aleu C. Ayieny to say something in the following few days. The men was appointed to specifically eradicate violence within the Tonj region of Warrap State but now he faces this new threat, the relentless violence attack of armed men from neighboring state of Unity.
Mangol Apuk is considered to be one of business area that bring together various communities from Unity and Warrap State. Now it has been distorted for rising insecurity.
