\"Sudan<\/a><\/p>\n

16 July 2011<\/p>\n

\n

Bor \u2014 Cattle are still being slaughtered a week after South Sudan’s independence day was celebrated in Jonglei state. Makuach Payam [district] of Bor county in Jonglei state, claims to have killed more than 100 in the first three days.<\/p>\n

“The culture of killing a cow on a big day is a sign of happiness and joy in our culture but this [South Sudan Independence celebration] is extraordinary,” said Chol Anyuat Nyok, one of the people who participated in cow killing known as ‘gut de wong’ in Dinka Bor dialect.<\/p>\n

“In our Payam [Makuach], we killed 112 cattle because the dream has come true,” said Maror Alier, now know as ‘Agut Mamer’ after the bull he killed on 9 July.<\/p>\n

South Sudan’s independence is a result of January 2011 referendum promised in the 2005 peace accord that ended the second North – South civil war of 1983–2005 that started in Bor.<\/p>\n

As celebrations continue in Jonglei state and messages of congratulations from various groups on the attainment of the Republic of South Sudan, the new country’s citizens expect a lot from the government in terms of public services.<\/p>\n

In Jonglei state, where local feuds have resulted to unrest since the Comprehensive Peace Agreement halted North-South conflict, the main celebration is tight with future security.<\/p>\n

“People will be rich. There will be no insecurity because the enemy [Khartoum government] is now in a different country,” said Jacob Lueth, as he tied-down his cow in a cattle camp near Bor town, the capital of Jonglei state.<\/p>\n

The killing of over one hundred cattle in Makuach Payam is not a loss, he added “because we are marking a transition.”<\/p>\n

CONGRATULATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jonglei state government congratulated the people of South Sudan under the leadership of the First President of the Republic, Salva Kiir Mayardit, in a letter signed by governor Kuol Manyang Juuk describing the independence as a “joyous and proud achievement.”<\/p>\n

Leaders of Bor community thanked President Kiir and governor Kuol Manyang for the “long lasting freedom” they had achieved.<\/p>\n

The letter, signed by Daniel Deng Kut, pledged continued allegiance to serving the interest of all South Sudanese through hard work and commitment to spirit of patriotism as a new nation.<\/p>\n

Pigi and Pochala counties leaders and other groups sent messages of congratulation, seen by Sudan Tribune, to president Kiir.<\/p>\n

JONGLEI STATE CHALLENGES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since taking office as governor of Jonglei state in December, 2007, Kuol Manyang has maintained that roads construction remains a priority to improving security. The real work is yet to begin.<\/p>\n

Jonglei’s weak and ill-equipped police force struggles to control the heavy population. The state’s citizens are struggling to afford the rising cost of goods.<\/p>\n
