Greater Yirol Youth Union
OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN – KENYA CHAPTER
March 13, 2018 (SSB) — We received with deepest shock the departure of our capable man Gen. Makur Thou, which occurred early this morning in Khartoum, Sudan.
Gen. Makur was a dedicated Freedom Fighter and a proud son of Yirol who was there from the beginning of struggle and was amongst the few liberators God blessed to witness the birth of our new nation.
The Greater Yirol Youth Union -Kenya Chapter wishes to express its deepest sympathies to the family, the people of Yirol, and South Sudan at large for this devastating lost.
A hero and liberator, his massive contributions to the attainment of Independence will not be forgotten in the history of our country.
Makur was a nationalist and peace lover; the best way for South Sudanese to mourn the demise of a hero of his caliber is to embrace peace and unity among ourselves.
May our condolences bring comfort and ease pains for the family at this time of grief.
Sincerely yours
Makoi Majak,
Acting Chairperson and
Sec. General.
