South Sudan: Nasir County is burning

The assassination of General David Majur Dak has consequences, the assassination of him on the 7th March 2025 has now severe retaliation. The Naath White Army killing the General and showing fierce force is now answered. That was a signal of war and not single skirmishes.

This let the J1 get the word of the affair and handled things differently. That’s when President Salva Kiir Mayardit went to allies and friends in Kampala for help. Juba getting the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) to step into the battlefield and answer on behalf of the South Sudan People’s Defence Force (SSPDF). As there was army commanders of the SSPDF and others who didn’t want to get deployed to the Upper Nile State and retaliate against it.

Now we see the reasons for it, as the Nasir County is burning. The chemical weaponry and the usage of inflammable bombs that burns the villages and people. There is estimation of 20 people dying because of the bombs. The Antonovs are flying in the sky and dropping these lethal weapons on them. As the Naath White Army doesn’t have a counter-attack or any ability to fight against on land. The advanced and aerial superiority is giving the forces in support of J1 all the benefits, but it isn’t able to target specific ones or even directly at the ones who could be culprits of assassination. No, this is making everyone a target and making sure the whoever resides there suffer.

Today the Warlords of the Republic is giddy. The grievances and lack of process or due diligence doesn’t matters. The bombs and mercenaries on behalf of the government are answering the pleas of the President. The J1 is willing to bomb his own citizens and do so to settle the score. This is revenging and letting anyone know that his willing to kill them all. If they step out of line and tries to challenge it. That is what is happening here.

The SPLM and the Transitional Government could have responded in different manner. It could have tried to mediate and even get foreign envoys to interfere. To see if there was any way the Naath White Army could speak and listen to their rebellion. Now the whole rebellion and the whole areas is hit as a fact. That is just signalling to the citizens and the ones whose fighting in the Naath White Army that the central government, the government that represents them has abounded them and is willing to kill them all.

The UPDF is just following orders and are doing their mission. They are the “silent guardians” who are bombing and intends to do the bidding of Kiir. That’s because the President and his government cannot handle this alone. They need foreign proxies to partake and do the merciless acts of killing own civilians. Just to ensure the demise and total annihilation of the Naath White Army. That’s why Nasir County is burning.

J1 doesn’t want to listen or wondered why the rebellion started at all. No, he rather go to war and issue more conflict. That is the works of a Warlord and not an elderly statesman. It just shows who Kiir is and who his aligned with. He rather have the call of Kampala, than trying to negotiate or talk to the ones that took to arms. Because the Youth of Upper Nile State knows there is no other channels to get the message across to Kiir. Kiir only listens to bullets and violence. If it isn’t that. He will just eat and enjoy the spoils of office.

We are now seeing Nasir County burning… this fire is only starting. There is more lives at stake, but we know the J1 won’t mourn them. No, the J1 will only be resolute when the Naath White Army is demilitarized and is leaving their weapons behind. However, if they do so… then they will suffer again and this time there will only be ashes. As we see today.

As the Antonov planes are hovering in the sky and dropping their lethal loads on unarmed civilians. That’s where the Republic is and this is how the liberators pays the citizens back. Peace.
