This incident, which occurred in Pajok, saw hundreds of locals flee
into neighbouring Uganda following Monday’s outbreak of violence.
Several eyewitnesses said men wearing uniforms of the South Sudan army
arrested nearly a dozen young people and executed them. Sudan Tribune
could, however, not independently verify the claim.
A spokesperson for South Sudan’s army was not immediately available to comment.
Meanwhile, the deputy spokesman for South Sudan’s armed opposition
faction (SPLM-IO), Gabriel Lam claimed government soldiers looting and
killed civilians in the South Sudan town of Pajok.
"They also went to a health unit and found a health worker, and he was
slaughtered," Lam told VOA’s South Sudan in Focus programme.
"They grabbed everything from the school, they destroyed the hospital
completely, especially in the market center, and they destroyed all
the shops and looted everything from the shops,” he added.
Violence associated with South Sudan’s three-and-a-half-year civil war
has driven over 1.6 million people out of the country, according to
the latest statistics from the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR).
Also more than 700,000 currently live in Uganda.

Midit,
Who told you this is an army? These are kiirminals,
luakbandits whose preoccupation is cattle rustling, theft and looting.
When they fail to fight the real IO "men", they terrorize unarmed
civilians while seeking for chicken, goats and cassava.

I suggest Sudantribune to make another report because that is not
how it happened or they declare them self to be playing a role to
destroy South Sudan

The Acholi deserve this death. They were waiting to be
slaughtered. Had they joined the IO in the bushes, they could not be
attacked and slaughtered like goats. When they are told that there is
a danger and all women and children must evacuate and combatants
remain, they defied this noble security concern. How can you stay in a
town that can be attacked any time by Anyoors?

Fair Man,
I read your remarks with agony and wonder where were the able
men not to defend women and children from these jienge monsters? Take
all women and kids away to refuge, return to fight these insects. As
long as they live, they will bother like flies that hover looking for
stench. The fight must continue against kiirminals and luakbandits.
