*JUBA, June 1, 2015 [Gurtong] *- The state government relocated to the oil-rich Melut County following the ongoing conflict that has badly hit the state capital Malakal. The State Minister for Information Peter Hoth Tuach said the governor’s visit aimed at acquainting himself with the situation on the ground. “The visit came just days after SPLA re-captured the capital Malakal and several other areas from the opposition forces led by former VP Dr Riek Machar,” Tuach said. He said Melut town remains the seat of the state administration after last week’s clash between the anti-government forces and the SPLA over its control. “The government has managed to secure the town and it is now peaceful,” said Tuach. The Governor appealed to the communities in the state to remain united and to keep away from divisive ideas advanced by politicians. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
