Angakuei and Kongoor which are clans within Jonglei State had been promising at each other to have a friendly match between their two communities respectively in the last two years, but it never being possible due to some insecurity in the state which are objected to them by cattle rustlers within the state. Majority of people in the state and a cross South Sudan were hoping to witness this match in time than it turning into ting tang invitation that is absolutely expected to fail ever not then. This had been pouring cool water into people interest to attend the event if it happen. However, wrestling game in the the country and particularly within wrestling communities, it is not the game to be turn down should it really happen as people are saying.

Many spectators are proportioning their best guess of which clan will win the game, however, to me and others who test wrestling at the youngest ages before joining struggling movement for the liberation of South Sudan, it not a bout guessing because wrestling is the game chance. It’s not about so and so defeat that well-known wrestler last year and he will did it again. Not me and not event Majok E Jongrir Achol Kut could assume his chance of not being wrestled down by his less recognized wrestler. In fact assumptions in wrestling game usually led to defeat in many circumstances. One example I can give you, is that of Lual-Mawut (Lual matiop) and Mawut Kuol Mamer who defeat him because Lual wrestles with easy and ignorance and he was wrestled down at blink of an eye. But all in all, it’s not about who is know to be a well wrestler as people may recall but, which team had defeat much of their current opponents in that particular event.

Angakueth, should prepare themselves because this is not the time for Majok Jok, he is retired and they know it that well he is not going back into wrestling at “Panyagoor panda”. On the other hand Kongoor need to Assemble their team to their core and not to take lightly because “Angakuei ee ye yic par”. They should be aware that Alier Majur Awang (Alier-ThiyHox) and Alier Gai Thiong (Alier-Agut-majier), Alith and Gaar Nyiel, Jok Deng Tir and much more of Angakuei are coming.

This is the second time again after that Juet (Wun Dhong Baap) give it a try in 1997 but I never think of any other match since 1983 when the war broke out in the country. Bor Community is happy to arrange wrestling between clans once again in their history. This will let youth have some sort of organizations amount themselves and that alone will help social structure of our communities. Long distance wrestling will allow youth to know themselves and create communities bound at the long ran. wrestling in Mading center at places like Maror and Malou could be good during state or national events. If Bor community do that, than issue of insecurity will be lessen in time to come.This wrestling between Angakuei and Kongoor is a bless one since it’s at the time of peace arriving to South Sudan and it can contribute to empowering the peace process in the country. In fact a small community activities that we seem to ignore contribute to the margin of something useful in some way you could never imagine.
