65 James Bor PoC Site 50–60 years old, Nuer Before the crisis, James lived and worked in Bor and thinks of Bor as his home. Since it was made the capital of Jonglei State it belongs to all the people of Jonglei and he intends to return to Bor town when peace comes back. In the past there was an unwritten policy that only Bor Dinka can only own land in Bor town, while other people groups have to rent it from them. Nuer working in Bor went and grabbed two blocks in Bor that were ‘unclaimed’ at a place called Shinuar Ben and settled there and built houses, including James. Before the violence happened the state government was going to give those who lived there land deeds, but only some people have their land deeds as the crisis occurred before they all received them. Now Dinka have taken over houses and land that belonged to Nuer and there will be issues of land if peace comes and people want to return. If Nuer security forces return to Bor the Nuer IDPs will not fear leaving the PoC. However, those who are squatting on their land must leave and the Transitional Government of National Unity will need to solve this issue before people can return. Before the implementation of the peace deal the President is creating new states, but James doesn’t see this as legitimate as it is not part of the agreement between the parties. He believes the division of new state borders along ethnic lines will make more tensions and could lead to a continuation of conflict. An independent land management committee must be created to settle all the disputes that will arise with the returns. The state capitals, and Juba, are for all people and therefore the host community should not decide alone about land rights issues. "... the division of new state borders along ethnic lines will make more tensions and could lead to a continuation of conflict."
