Thursday, December 12, 2019 (PW) — On my own behalf, on the behalf of Academic/ Education Secretariat Affairs and on the behalf of entire South Sudanese Students’ in China, I would like to express our deep sorrows for the untimely death of our beloved brother, colleague and friend Capt. Manyang Dut Agwang Biar who passed away last Renmin University, Beijing China.  Capt Manyang Dut Agwang Biar held from Chir Amuou sub-clan of Pakeer Clan (Maar Payam) of Twic East County of Greater Bor Community, Jonglei State, and South Sudan.

Capt. Manyang was a Final Year Master Degree’ Student at the College of Economics, Renmin University, Beijing China. He was doing Masters’ Degree in MSC EONOMICS left with only research and clear to graduate in June year 2020. Capt. Manyang Dut was found dead on his bed on Tuesday 10th December, 2019 this week at Renmin University, Beijing Capital City of China. His dead body is at the hospital in Beijing to be transported to South Sudan soon after the completion of the investigations of the main cause of his abrupt death because the really cause of his death is not yet knows by everybody.

In a separate note, it is a third time now for South Sudanese Masters’ Degree Student died in China and second time in WINTER and DECEMBER for losing our student. We had lost Ustaz John Madol Ajak Athieu (Master Degree Engineering Student) and that was why I said on facebook on Tuesday this week that I hate two things; WINTER and DECEMBER and Eng. Chol (Gaar) Aguto Anyang in the same 2018.

Dear all, Accept our sincere condolences.

Dear Parents, We were all shocked by Mayang’s death and it’s hard to believe that Manyang has been dead for this time because his memories are still in our eyes and minds. Everyone here in school is saddened by his death and some of us will not do well in next week examinations, Dear Parents, remember he is not your son alone or us here, but the entire South Sudan and the Africa continent  and Asian colleagues who had been studied with him, will not forget him.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your son.  I know we’ll all feel his absence and I really miss him terribly. Accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your brother/son; he was a kind and gentle soul. My thoughts are with your family at this hard time caused by the painful loss of your dear brother and son. Accept my deepest sympathy”.

There are no words to express my sorrow for your loss, may you find comfort in the loving memories you shared while he was alive. Accept our condolences. He can only be physically gone but never the life lived and the memories shared. Have faith and be strong, may his soul rest in peace. It’s awful and sad to hear about the sudden and painful exit of your dear brother.

Our heartfelt deep sorrows goes out to Dut Agwang Biar’s, family, Capt. Manyang’s colleagues in SPLA Headquarter in Bilpam, social friends, academic old boys and girls in Kampala, his classmates in Beijing and whoever knows him, our big sorrow to Chiir Amou, Pakeer Youth and Greater Bor Communities and the entire the Republic of South Sudan on the passing away of their beloved son / brother.
