By James Deng Dimo *WAU, 26 July 2016 [Gurtong]*- The protestors marched from Wau Molid playground through Wau’s main market to the State Governors’ offices to present their petition in order to forward it to the office of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan Wau branch. In their petition read by the civil society representative, Joseph Moses on behalf of the groups, it has recognized that the United Nation has played a positive role in keeping peace between Sudan and South Sudan but the civil society claimed it has got negative impacts on the nation of South Sudan. The Civil society said in the petition that despite UN’s initial good gesture towards South Sudan, it has also lost its directions after taking part with foreign politicians who have voracious ideas of interest on South Sudan’s natural resources. “The UN should know that the government of South Sudan is capable to solve its own problems as leadership of this country ordered for cessation of hostilities, general amnesty and establishment of military court martial which is functioning now in dealing with any crime committed during the past violence in the country.” “We strongly reject, condemn and denounce the foreign troops intervention and proposed sanction on South Sudan,” it further reads. The petition was received by the State Governor, Andrea Mayar Acho who assured the protestors that the message will reach the UN and president’s office as directed in the copy.
