South Sudan Joint Defense Board (JDB) Unable To Explain Why Government Soldiers Are Still Occupying Civil Buildings


South Sudan Joint Defense Board (JDB) put to task to explain why government soldiers are still occupying civil buildings by the RJMEC chairperson.  


According to the RJMEC there are over forty (40) buildings being occupied by the SSPDF and the NSS.

RJMEC chairperson said that “I would expect to hear from the chairperson of the Joint Defense Board on why the deadline has not been met?”

SSPDF and NSS are yet to respond...  

More to follow shortly...
