Yei governor blames opposition for refugee exodus

YEI (5 Apr.)

The Governor of Yei River State, David Lokong Moses, has claimed the exodus
of local residents to neighboring Uganda is a deliberate policy fomented by
rebels in the state.

Yei State that remained largely peaceful throughout the two years of civil
war that preceded South Sudan's August 2015 peace deal, is now experiencing
rampant insecurity, forcing citizens in Kaji-keji, Kaya and Yei town to
flee to Uganda’s refugee camps.

In a Tuesday statement in Juba, Governor Konga said: “We don’t have any
cause of alarm despite the fact that the wild propaganda being passed by
those who are anti-peace made a large number of people to cross to
neighboring countries and camps across Uganda.” However, he said many
families are returning back to the state because the security situation
returned to normal. He urged the people of Yei to come back from refugee
camps in neighboring countries and join Kiir’s dialogue initiative.

The state official pointed out that his government is currently working on
a grassroots dialogue initiative with armed opposition groups through
religious leaders in the state.
