February 2, 2012, (KUAJOK) - The governor of Warrap, Nyandeng Malek
Delic on Thursday called the Government of South Sudan to disarm the
civil population in the neighbouring Unity State.
In the attack on Warrap state on 30 January 79 people were killed and
75 wounded Delic told Sudan Tribune on Thursday.
The wounded are receiving treatment at Rumic hospital in Tonj East.
She said that insufficient police forces had been brought to bring
calm to the area.
The border between Tonj East of Warrap state and Unity state remains
fragile despite the recent tour of minister of interior, Alison Manani
Magaya, who urged the citizens of the nation to remain in peaceful.
The state minister of parliamentarian affairs, Achol Chyer Rehan,
condemned the clash.
Rehan told Sudan Tribune on Tuesday that the people of Unity state
should be disarmed like the population of Warrap state and that the
Tonj East county needs more protection.
A member of the Warrap state legislative assembly for the Twic West
constituency, who is also the chairperson of human rights specialised
committee, Achai Arop Deng, said the raid allegedly committed by
people from Unity was an "inhuman, barbaric act".
She said the government is looking to resolve all the grievances and
to prosecute all those guilty of involvement in the attack.
