The youth of Murle community in Juba have condemned the act of defaming them citing accusation of several incidences of raids, attacks that lead to death and abduction alleged to Murle armed youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chairperson of Murle Youth Association in South Sudan David Ngiro Yangkon said the act is defaming as no prove had been given against them in relation to the allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no evidence which proves that someone has been captured and adducted by the Murle people or person. People have taken that advantage whatever has been said is believed,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt was not our youth who attacked the Dinka Bor people in Nimule; we don\u2019t have any means to reach Nimule\u201d. He said they had previously chosen to remain silent whenever accused of attacking other communities because they don\u2019t want to provoke the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David cited that acts of attack, abductions should not be made on a tribal basis but a criminal offence that needs action to be taken against with evidence or proves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese are criminal acts committed by some youths. It\u2019s all over South Sudan that attacks happen. There are some communities that are abducting children and are blaming it on the Murle tribe,\u201d David stressed. \u201cSome communities are abducting or selling their children just to tarnish the image of the Murle,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Murle Community Youth leader cited that a false report stated that a Murle had abducted two children when it was a father who had wanted to sell his children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast year a man brought two children, they were captured but the report showed that the Murle were the ones who abducted the two children in Shirkat when it was their father that did this,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David however said attacks among communities are true whereas should not be blamed on the Murle community but an individual that has done it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome are not true, while some are true. It\u2019s not only Murle who are involved in criminal activities. And we cannot deny but it should be about an individual involved in the crime not a community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople have taken advantage of the community that has taken place among themselves to act against the Murle community. Nobody has been captured, arrested of tangible evidence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
