-

The Government of South Sudan reiterated on its mission to use all necessary measures to protect all South Sudanese Civilians. 

The statement came after a deadly clash between armed groups of Jonglei and Greater Pibor Administrative Area leading to massive displacement of civilians. 

Deng Dau Deng, the Deputy Minister Of Foreign Affairs said that: “since early September and October, the government of South Sudan has been engaging in finding an amicable solution to the conflict in Upper Nile and also Jonglei state through the envisioned dispatch of high-level political leaders to those areas to dialogue on the root causes of the conflict and secure the peace and stability,” he said.

“You have seen members of the assembly and members of the government travelling together to Upper Nile to address and to talk on the causes of the conflict that erupted in areas of Panyikang, Tonga, Fashoda and other places. The government has been very committed in that part of our country,” Dau said.

He further noted that the SPLM-IO and Kit-Gwang faction led by Gen. Simon Gatwech and Johnson Olony Agwelek faction  are the main reason for the conflicts in Uppernile. 

He further stated that “while the conflict in Jonglei State and greater Pibor Administrative Area came because of issues of grazing land, child abduction and cattle raiding that normally intensifies during the dry season,” 

 “The recent movement of youths from three areas that has been converging to the area of greater Pibor, of course, the government has condemned this, and the government has stopped the youths, and whatever that happens is described as criminality that is being done at that level,” he added.

    The government of South Sudan is the one respondible to all messes. Murle criminal men has keeps raiding cattle and abducting children and women and killing men who is capable to defense. But i didn't see any necessary measures that had been took by the government on murle criminal men. Now when youth from Nuer and Dinka go for revenge and bring back their abducted children, the government came up with unwise measure saying that, the government will stop these attackers. How come? Shame on you.
