Top Trending News Just For You To Read 


The National Minister Of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation said that the government is working hard to try and resolved conflicts related to boarder with neighboring countries. 

His statement came after violence clashes took place between Turkana youths and Toposa youths at Nadapal border. 

The clashes started when prominent members from the Toposa Community started accusing the Turkana Community of Kenya of trying to annex parts of Toposa land to them selves leading to heightened tensions. 

However Deng Dau the deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs said that: “South Sudan will never leave an inch of its land to another country. South Sudan is called a country because of a defined territory and population and we want to inform our youths to be calm, be patient, your country is addressing all these matters,” Dau said. “We have the National Border Commission that has been working with the Republic of Kenya and the Republic of Uganda. South Sudan has quite several areas that have been entered into by our neighbors and we have been discussing them in the context of the African Union and we have been engaging at that level between ourselves and these particular two countries.” Deng Dau said. 

Hon. Deng Dau further said that they have not yet received an official communication from Eastern Equatoria State Governor Hon. Louis Lobong Lojore. 

“We have not yet received official information from our governor in Eastern Equatoria State and the commissioner of Kapoeta East,” he said. “When we get the information, we will then inform Foreign Minister Mayik Ayii who will then officially communicate with his Kenyan counterpart Alfred Mutua.” Deng Dau said. 

He concluded by saying that: “South Sudan has fought wars with Sudan and we got our independence I do not think there is anybody who can take an inch of the land of this country. We have priorities and one of them is to consolidate our internal peace so that when we have an issue outside, we face it as a unified consolidated country,” he said. “You cannot just be running around to fight when you have not yet consolidated yourself inside the country so we want to assure our youths in Kapoeta in Eastern Equatoria and elsewhere in areas of Central Equatoria, in Upper Nile, in Ruweng Administrative Area and other places including Western Bahr el Ghazal.” Deng Dau said.
