The State Minister of Local Government said that, if the Pastoralist do not comply with the president directives then they will have no choice but to forcefully evict them from Central Equatoria State. 

“If they do not want to move, we shall use the available force to move them but that will be the last option,” he said. “Our first option is to approach them peacefully and if they resist, we will use the forces you see here and we are doing our job.” Minister Moro said. 

The State Minister is also asking the people who deserted their home because of the violence cause by the pastoralist to return back home. 

“We call upon them to go back to their areas of residence and have instructed the cattle keepers not to destroy or take people’s properties on their way,” Moro said.

The reshuffle comes at a critical time when the army is engaged in several operation...
