GPAA authorities said that the attacks in GPAA last Saturday by Jonglei armed youths led to displacement of civilians and lost of properties. 

The attacked by the Jonglei Youths led to lost of lives of 56 civilians and others have seek shelter in Pibor Town and UNMSS compounds.

“There have been gaps in terms of the National government intervention and these are caused, and we are trying to come back to our peaceful way of living where the government set its mandate of protecting the lives of the citizen.”

“On the other side, the only solution that can help in this situation is the disarmament of the civilians especially across the state and across Greater Pibor Administrative areas.”-John Samuel.
