Saturday, 24 November 2012 09:00 Diana Wani South Sudan >>> . Disarmament forces in Jonglei State have repulsed an attempted cattle raid by suspected Yau Yau militia, in Twic East County of Jonglei State. The Commissioner of Twic East County, Dau Juorkuch, told Radio Miraya that four suspected Yau Yau militia-men, attempted to raid cattle in Pargre village, but SPLA forces rescued the cattle. "There was attacks earlier in the morning at around 8:00 am and that area has been attacked because cattle were released for grazing, so automatically they were attacked and about 15 head of cattle were taken, however the army recovered them after one hour. We suspect them to have been from Yau Yau movement because before Yau Yau, we have been peaceful," said Dau. He said the raiders were wearing full military uniforms, hence being suspected to have been from the Yau Yau group. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
