During an ABC National Forum this week, human rights lawyer Nyadol Nyuon rejected ideas of a unified white culture and said she had no plans to assimilate, prompting critics to highlight her father William Nyuon’s command in the Sudan People’s Liberation Army.
Records from a 1992 Australian Senate exchange, a 1995 Human Rights Watch report on child soldiers, and a 2019 ABC documentary detailed his faction’s links to aid worker deaths and recruitment abuses.
Nyuon, who arrived in Australia as a refugee in 2005, earned an Order of Australia medal before planning to return it amid racism claims; she has defended her comments while affirming respect for Australian laws.
OMG, it turns out that the ABC knew that Nyadol Nyuon’s father was a Sudanese warlord when they decided to put her on panel this week to debate Australian migration.
I found an ABC documentary on Nyadol Nyuon from 2019 where they celebrate her father William Nyuon as a South Sudanese ”freedom fighter.”
This is despite the fact that Australian Foreign Minister Gareth Evans told the Australian Senate back in December 1992 that William Nyuon had personally ordered the execution of UN aid workers.
Human Rights Watch published reports on Sudan in the 1990s that accused her father of enslaving hundreds of child soldiers and starving at least 47 of them to death.
So in their rush to promote ”diversity” and ”multiculturalism,” the ABC ended up whitewashing a psycho Sudanese warlord who literally starved child soldiers to death.
Other parts of the interview are equally amazing.
She told the ABC that she had a privileged life back home because of her father’s status.
Quote: ”I actually, in some ways, I think I had a very privileged life because of my father’s status at the time. So an example is when the war broke up in Ethiopia in 1991. I was one of the few kids that had soldiers carrying them, because my father had a lot of soldiers in his command. A lot of other kids were walking on their feet for forty days.”
She also reveals that her father had at least five wives, and that her real name is actually Nyakurmuk, because she was named after a town that fell to her father’s guerilla movement.
