‎Greater Yirol should get worried as the only large grazing land is entirely covered by water due to expansion of sudd wetlands to the western direction.
‎
‎If the same rate of expansion of the River Nile continues, Langmatot Boma of Malek Payam, will be highly affected. The area that starts from Wunthony-Buonglɛi to Makuac is a lowland which can easily flood leading to expansion of the Nile to the west.
‎
‎And if the same flood exists in the east bank, there are high chances Twic East land will not be there in the next 10 years.
‎
‎I have the privilege of knowing the entire strip along the Nile from Keriem in the north of Yirol East upto Majak of Awerial county. I was born in this place, grew up as a child until my boyhood and left in 2002.
‎
‎In the 1980's the cattle camps along the Nile were Pethuec ( where I was born), Pedi-nyiɛi, Penyiriic, Rubket, Akuok etc. And by the early 1990s, the Nile expanded and encroached all these cattle camps.
‎
‎In 1994, I spent the summer in Keriem. And the immediate camps along the Nile were Lacdiing, Domjiel, Thargɔi, Laath-hoth. Many of these camps submerged in water by the early 2000s.
‎
‎If Thargoi in the east is submerged in water, there are high chances that Pabot (the village of the current Commissioner of Yirol East) in the west is either threatened or likely in water by now. Someone should tell us how far the Nile is from that direction.
‎
‎In 1995-6, I spent both summer periods in Khartoum/Karthum and the Nile stopped at Limtar.
‎
‎While in Them-bec in 1998, both Limtar and Karthum submerged in water. The only camps left along that strip were Makuac, Pagëng, Pec-cinlök, Them-nyin-yaak, Rum-anei, Wunthony- Jaak, Rangbek, Gut-thom, Deeng, Majak, etc.
‎
‎While in Leek in 2002, Wunthony-Buonglei, Wunthony Jaak and Rum-anei were both encroached by Nile in the same year and became uninhabitable.
‎
‎Rumours has it that Majak, Deeng and Pacuet-thok are likely to be in the middle of the Nile this year.
‎
‎The Nile is currently rumored to be in Apayäng. So areas like Payombeek, Ribiaar, Panyangrier, Leek, Benau are already lost. It means, the entire Langthok is already in water. Big problem.
‎
‎What are the Impacts ?
‎
‎While the impacts may be less on the side of Awerial because of Gel, the impacts will be heavily felt by both Yirol West and East. This is the only area that can sustain large numbers of cattle from December to July during tuil-ngar.
‎
‎Gök area which is camped from August to November will no longer sustain the current number of cattle which includes Buor and Twi because of limited water and pasture.
‎
‎As Cirkou is no longer the alternative, cattle camps will be forced to look for water and pasture around Lake Anyii, Yirol, Wunthou and Pagarau.
‎
‎By this period of October or November, long term crops like kec and awuw are not yet harvested causing destruction of farmlands.
‎
‎Panther and rup which can act as alternative areas to camp are already flooded for many years now. And as rain starts in March, the level of water will increase.
‎
‎Due to this climate change, communities of Yirol West and East should sit down to sensitize the Communities on the types of crops to be cultivated especially short- term crops like nyindok, rapjang, cal, luwaiya.
‎
‎Areas like Panebii, Panekar, Mading, Gorrioi, Agoumou, Kaap, Pagarau, Wunthou, Aluak-Luak Gedim, amethyic, Aruopnyiel should not cultivate long term crops.
‎
‎ if there's someone on this street and living around Malek,, Adior, Biliing, Langmatot, kindly educate us on the level of water and how far....
