Thursday, 17 May 2012 08:41 Lagu Francis South Sudan >>> . One person has reportedly been killed and another wounded during an attack near a cattle camp in Jonglei State. The attack by unknown gunmen took place near Pakou cattle camp in Twic East County. The commissioner of Twic East county, Dau Akoi Jurkuch calls on the government to intervene and stop attacks, saying some youth, who boycotted the recent mass disarmament in the state, are hiding in swampy areas of Twic East. "We have been appealing to the government to make aerial surveys in the Twich (swamps) area because all the criminals of Murle now are in Twic East," he said. "They are hiding in the swampy areas where they will attack the people. So that's why we are appealing because this thing will be continuing. Now it is beginning of rainy season. It will be worse more than now". Last week, two people were killed and another wounded in a cattle raid on Wangulei Payam in Twic East County. The incidents come just a few weeks after the six chiefs of Jonglei State signed a peace agreement -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
