Fishermen say Juba clashes crippled business BOR (19 Jul.) Fishermen between Bor and Juba say the recent fighting in the capital has severely effected their business because their supply route was unstable.
Traders told Radio Tamazuj on Monday that about twenty boats were forced to remain in Bor during the four days of fighting in the capital because the local government in Bor ordered a transportation shutdown. “We were detained here for about 5 days, and this made our fish to go bad. When we were released 4 days later, fishes for my brothers and even mine went bad,” said Amos Isborn, who leads a group of fish dealers in Bor. “On reaching to Terekeka, boats are shot at and my colleague was killed while going to Juba,” The authorities in Mangalla, where the incident happened, said that SPLA soldiers are allegedly responsible. Another fish dealer Bol Maker Agook called on the government to implement the peace agreement to allow fishermen to carryout their business without disturbances and fear of abrupt shutdown. “My appeal to the government of South Sudan and JMEC in Juba is that we need support. No man is an island by the way, so we can’t live completely without your support” Maker said. -- 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.
