But on Wednesday, five trucks arrived from East Darfur to Gokmachar town, using the Kiir Pal route that is located west of Kiir Adem.”- He was speaking to Radiotamazuj.

Arrival of the commercial trucks has raised hope to the people and they expect the prices of stocks to drop. 

One Bol Make who is a member of Aweil North Chamber Of Commerce said: “yes, five trucks have already arrived in Gokmachar, and some are still on the way coming. This is the first time this year for the trucks to arrive here because the Sudanese truckers were stranded on the north Bank of Kiir Adem and didn’t arrive here because the floodwater level was high.”
