June 26, 2015 (WAU) - The mayor of Wau town in South Sudan’s Western
Bahr el Ghazal state, Livio Buhara convened Friday an emergency
meeting on how to tackle insecurity.
The state minister of local government, Angelo Taban attended the
meeting held in Wau.
A wave of attacks by criminals has become rampant in Wau since the
beginning of this month, with rampant killings and looting by armed
gangs operating during night hours.
"It is so difficult for Wau town residents to weak up early in the
morning to run their business due to insecurity carried out by
criminals," Buhara told the meeting.
The meeting, he said, aimed at collecting views and ideas on how best
Wau town residents could cooperate to protect themselves from
criminals who attack them.
The minister for local government equally supported Buhara’s stance on
insecurity.
“We are all aware of the criminal activities in Wau and therefore were
here today to find some ways on the matter. Our people are not free,
they are always in fear that sun wouldn’t set down because of night
insecurity, where is this coming from? There is a need for us to find
a way,” stressed Taban.
In a separate meeting held on Thursday, the state governor, Rizik
Zackaria Hassan members of the special forces of allegedly doing very
little to halt criminal activities.
The one day meeting was expected to come up with recommendations that
would help authorities curb the rising cases of night robberies in the
Western Bahr Ghazal town.
