PR: JUN/07/2015: Following the violence orchestrated by the Dinka elements of the pro-government SPLA-Juba, in Mundri West County, in the largely peaceful Western Equuatoria State, the government security agents in Juba are now out harassing citizens presumed to hail from those parts of the country. One such case is the arbitrarily arrest of Mr Driuni Jakani , an Executive Director of a local NGO operating in Lacha locality, of Mundri West County. Mr Jakani is reported to have gone missing for over two days now. According to a source that prefers anonymity , Mr Jakani arrived in Juba from Mundri on June, 4th, 2015, a day before he was arrested by security personnel. The source further confirmed that he received a phone call out on Mr Jakani,s mobile phone presumably from a security personal who informed him that Mr Jakani is with them and safe and that they shouldn’t worry about his whereabouts. Mr Jakani is the Executive Director of a local non-governmental organization (NGO) which was established by him since 2008. With Head Office in a village called Lacha, south of Mundri Town, and somewhere between the Bari and the Garia payams, the NGO is involved in many humanitarian projects in the area and offers assistance to internally displaced people (IDPs). In the wake of the looting, shooting and killing sprees carried in Mundri town on Friday 22, May 2015, by the predominantly Dinka SPLA soldiers loyal to Juba government , Mr Jakani had been instrumental in assisting the terrorised civilians by transporting the sick, the disabled, the elderly and the children out of Mundri to safety in Bari and Lacha localities. using his organization’s vehicles. Could it be that the government in Juba is now seeing him as an enemy because he saved the lives of those disabled and elderly citizens and children from what was a massacre in the waiting as the very SPLA soldiers who were expected to protect the civilian population against an outside attach , turned around and begun a looting, shooting, and killing spree? This is a call to all Representatives of Local and International Organisations who cherish Human Rights and Justice and all Diplomatic Missions from the Free World operating in South Sudan to stand together for the immediate release of Mr Driuni Jakani. His arbitrary arrest in the hands of the security agents in Juba is a slap on the face to all organisation and individuals involved in Humanitarian Assistance, in South Sudan and elsewhere in the world. -- 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.
