29 June 2017 By Mabor Riak Magok RUMBEK, 29 June 2017 [Gurtong]–This follows a two-day peace conference that was this week concluded between conflicting tribes in Rumbek. The Executive Chief of Akok section of Rup community, Madol Mading Maguar urged the government of Western Lakes State to take the report of the violation of the 2-day peace conference chaired by the Governor of Western Lakes State very seriously and speed up disarmament of the Gelwong army youth across Western Lakes State. “We have really realized Gony army youth are not respecting the Governor or otherwise it is the Governor, Matur Chut who is using this peace conference as a ploy for Gony arms Youth to get rid of us and our properties” said the Executive Chief. Some of the resolutions that were signed during the two day peace conference included disarmament and restraint from further revenge killings.“We were warned by the Governor that whoever violates and continuous with revenge killings or resist to hand over guns to the army during the disarmament process must face the full force of the law and punishment.” said Chhief Madol. The Minister of Local Government and Law Enforcement Agency, Abraham Mayen Kuc Adhil however, said that no report of killings or looting has been brought to his attention.“I would have confirmed this from the Commissioner of Malek County, but unfortunately the Commissioner was relieved on Tuesday, otherwise there is no report that has reached my office about a person killed in Ror-nhom” said the Minister of Local Government. The government of South Sudan this week deployed a huge security force in Rumbek to disarm and return raided cattle to rightful owners.This came after the Intra-communal fighting between Rup and Pakam last week that claimed lives of more than 30 people in Western Lakes State.
