Mayor Meets Town Residents Over Insecurity Rise Western Bahr el Ghazal state officials led by state Minister of local Government Law and Enforcement Agencies, Angelo Taban Biajo and Wau town Municipal council, Mayor Livio Bahara Gelego on Friday convened an emergency meeting with the residents of Wau town. 27 June 2015
By James Deng Dimo WAU, June 26, 2015 [Gurtong] – The purpose of the meeting was to discuss how the town residents could protect themselves from the night attacks from criminals. This follows a series of night attacks by unknown gunmen since the beginning of June and rampant killings and lootings of residents’ properties. Speaking during the meeting, Wau town Mayor said insecurity will discourage business people from conducting their businesses as usual for fear of being attacked. Livio Bahara said the meeting was called to collect views and ideas on how residents could cooperate to protect themselves from night attacks. The State minister of Local Government, Angelo Taban Biajo said “Our gathering here today is not new as all of you know what is going on in Wau town at night. The freedom of human beings begins with security and services but if insecurity is taking place, there is a need to do something on the issue,” said Taban. “We are all aware of the criminal’s activities in Wau, therefore, we are here today to find some ways on the matter,” he said. The State Governor, Rizik Zackaria Hassan in his meeting on Thursday with the state Special Forces accused them of not conducting their duties as required of them. Governor Rizik said that the forces have failed to capture the criminals while they are patrolling at night.
