Grow more, says Wau Commissioner
Thursday, 19 April 2012 05:39 South Sudan >>> . Wau County caretaker Commissioner, John Peter Miskin has urged local people to begin large scale farming to prevent hunger and reduce dependence on oil. Miskin's advice comes in the wake of increasing tensions between Sudan and South Sudan over oil and the border. Prices have risen in Wau, Western Bahr-el-Ghazal State (WBGS) due to a shortage of food items which usually come from Sudan. In an exclusive interview, Miskin told Radio Miraya that the closure of the border with Sudan, will limit citizens' access to supplies. "Wau market is serving as central market for other states not only the Greater Bahr-el-Ghazal States. Even our neighbors from Western Equatoria State get their goods from Wau. "That is why our order to our natives is to go for cultivation this year. If they cultivate one hectare or two that helps to cope with this hardship next year." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
