SPLA-IO says three abducted humanitarian workers are safe in their area

YEI (9 Dec.)

A spokesman of the SPLA-IO in Equatoria says three humanitarian workers who
were abducted recently are safe in their areas of control.

The three health workers who were contracted by ACROSS fell into an ambush
along the Yei-Lasu road last week.

According to the IO military spokes person Wai Goodwil Edward, all the
three health officials — one clinical officer, one community health worker
and a Congolese refugee— are safe and are communicating with their families
and the management of ACROSS.

Wai says efforts are in place to hand them over to ACROSS and UNHCR.“These
are people who were rescued from a situation, they are safe and they are in
contact with the leadership of ACROSS and their family members. Why we are
keeping them here because the roads are not safe but we shall hand them as
soon as possible,” said Edward.

 Wai accused the government forces for hindering access to humanitarian
workers, saying the IO leadership respects and grants them access to help
the civilians in the rural areas.

“The Government is obstructing movement of humanitarian workers from
accessing areas controlled by the IO on claim that they are supporting us
which is not true. For us we don’t have problems with humanitarian
workers,” he said.
