By Gabriel Mayom RUMBEK, July 3, 2015 [Gurtong] - Akot Muorchol an eyewitness said that “it was very sad to see our youth dying just like that – I sit down and I pray to God to give us peace.” The Acting Minister of Information and Communication who is also theMinister of Local Government and Law Enforcement Agency in Lakes State, Jok Ayom said that measures are being taken to arrest all culprits of the clashes. Ayom said that the clashes between the two sub-clans are a setback to communal peace in the County. He noted that forces are being sent to the area to repress the rising insecurity. Minster Ayom said that the clashes have left 15 people dead from both clans and 21 others sustained gunshots wounds. “Yes, from Pan-Awuor side only 12 people are dead and 16 people wounded. And From Pan-Aguong side, 3 people are dead and 5 people with critically wounded.” There are growing calls among Lakes state residents for Dhuol’s removal, but President Salva Kiir has so far overlooked the demands. Local police say state authorities have become increasingly isolated, with the public refusing to share information with law enforcement officers, making it difficult to investigate killings and maintain law and order in the region.
