February 19, 2015 (SSB) — The leaders of Lou Nuer community in Canada and United States of America had called Extraordinary Emergency Meeting (EEM) on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 to discuss the baseless allegation made by our son, Brig. Gen Lul Ruai Koang who recently defected to killer Salva Kiir. Brig. Gen. Lul has been known for his outspoken as an Opposition Forces Spokesman. Hence, his defection to President Salva Kiir Mayardit had nothing to do with the Lou Nuer community affairs.

We, the Lou Nuer community in Diasporas and the Lou Nuer Community in Bieh State made consultation with our current Commissioners and our newly appointed Military Governor, Col. Koang Kerjiok from the ground and we denied Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang’s claim of forming a new movement. An opportunist person like Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang will not be allowed to use our Lou Nuer community name as his for his own personal interest.

We, the Lou Nuer community at large had read the statement that was sent by Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang to many different media outlets that Lou Nuer had formed new movement. That statement was not true. We did not agree with Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang to form a new movement. We would like to inform the general public that Lou Nuer community would NEVER EVER betray the Nuer community interest globally. Lou Nuer community is still part and parcel of the SPLM-IO led by the Commander-in Chief Charismatic and Visionary Leader Dr. Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon.

We Lou Nuer community are Pro White Army, Pro Freedom Fighters, Pro SPLM-IO and we will never give a consent to an opportunist who wants to use our community name for his/her personal interest period!

We want to reiterate that our position is clear; we stand for the victims until Salva Kirr is no longer in South Sudan. We therefore, stand with the victims until the dysfunctional government of Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit, which is run by tribal bigots and Neanderthals who would never take a lead to contain the situation to the satisfaction of all tribes of South Sudan.

Our resolution is clearly outlined in the below statement:

The Lou Nuer community in USA and Canada, together with the Lou Nuer Commissioners in the Holy Land, Bieh State and our Gov. Col. Koang Kerjiok and the entire Lou Nuer Community in the Diaspora, support the Nuer victims who were massacred in Juba on December 15, 2013. We stand with the White Army to protect our communities from Salva Kiir whose goal is to wipe out the Nuer people and other minority groups on the map of South Sudan.

We would also like to inform the people of South Sudan that we, the Lou Nuer community in Diaspora and the entire Lou Nuer community stand firm with Dr. Riek Machar who is calling for the Federal Government System, which is needed by all South Sudanese people

In conclusion, the Lou Nuer in United State of America and Canada who led the deliberation stand firm behind Dr. Riek Machar and will continue our support to White Army, which is exercising its duty to protect our communities from the murderers like Salva Kiir and child abductors. There is no real government in South Sudan and we will only follow the direction by Dr. Riek Machar Teny.

Therefore, the Lou Nuer community in Diaspora will continue supporting the Opposition Forces and the White Army that are exercising the duty to protect our communities until a functional government is found in South Sudan under the Leadership of Dr. Riek Machar Teny.
