Stop the Genocide: Nuer People in South Sudan Facing Persecution

The Crisis in Fangak

In the remote region of Fangak, South Sudan, the Nuer community has come under systematic attack. Labeled “hostile” by government authorities, Nuer civilians are being targeted, detained, and killed solely for their ethnic identity and alleged affiliation with the SPLM-IO political movement.

A Plea for Humanity

Commissioner Biel of Fangak issued an urgent appeal: “This is genocide—our people are being slaughtered for who they are.” He condemned the use of state resources to oppress and exterminate Nuer families, urging Khartoum to halt these atrocities immediately.

An International Call to Action

Biel’s message extends beyond South Sudan’s borders. He implores the United Nations, African Union, and global human rights bodies to intervene. “The world cannot stand by while innocent lives are extinguished,” he warned, calling for sanctions and accountability for those orchestrating the violence.

Standing Against Injustice

  • Ethnic profiling and mass killings violate fundamental human rights.
  • Genocide must never be tolerated—political or ethnic differences cannot justify murder.
  • The international community must defend vulnerable populations and uphold justice.

Hope for a Better Future

Despite the terror in Fangak, solidarity grows. Activists, churches, and diaspora groups are amplifying the Nuer plea for peace. Commissioner Biel believes that sustained global pressure can stop the bloodshed and build an inclusive South Sudan where every ethnicity lives in safety.

Conclusion

The persecution of the Nuer in Fangak is a crisis demanding immediate, decisive action. Every day without intervention deepens the stain of genocide. It’s time for the world to unite, protect the Nuer people, and hold perpetrators to account. Only then can healing begin in South Sudan.
