So what we have been doing is a normal beefing up of security within Juba, and doing some house to house searches so that in case there are people who are keeping guns illegally, then this guns are removed from those ones who are supposed to handle them. The intention is to ensure the safety of the people of South Sudan from now on ward.”
The South Sudan People Defence Force Spokesperson also explained why the day was pushed up to Thursday next week “There are three main reasons, one, and we were expecting high turnout of regional and some international dignitaries to grace the occasion as the 36th anniversary as well as the inauguration of the new building. Most of the dignitaries requested for the postponement because there are a lot of schedules. Secondly, we are doing some minor repairs, here and there, putting some final touches on the building, as well as some construction of road that is connecting Bilpam to the main road. We hope to put the final touches maybe in the next five days. The other ones are the logistical arrangement, of course most of these dignitaries are going to stay in hotel and there was need for our logistics to be right. So, these are the three reasons why the celebrations were postponed.”
