The Authorities in Morobo County said that the SPLA-IO have been looting and raping women between 30th of September and 3rd of October. 

Joseph Mawa the Morobo County Commissioner said that  “the situation in Morobo County is generally normal but there was recent rampant displacement, looting of goats, cows, harvested food produce, and house properties including the raping of two women. I contacted the ground commander of SPLA-IO in Payume and what he told me was that there were no food items supplied to the forces since January this year and that led to the civilian displacement in the area.”

The commissioner added by saying that "as I am talking to you the displaced people are in the town center and we registered 238 households with a total population of 814. They are staying at the county headquarters, the catholic and the ECSS church, and women and children are very miserable. I have been running up and down and I provided them with some rice which is not enough and they currently need food and non-food items, " he lamented.

The SPLA-IO Spokeman replied by saying that "as a movement when something of that nature happens, we shall carry investigations because we love our civilian communities surrounding us and especially now that civilians are returning home and that is our will to see that our people return home and enjoy their communities in peace. We shall investigate this and whoever caused civilian displacement will be held accountable."
