Africa-Press – South-Sudan.

In a press statement avail to Juba Monitor yesterday, Edmund Yakani urged the central government authorities to urgently intervene on the deadly violence observed in the past months among the communities as they deserve some response from the government.
“Tonj North and Tonj East communities deserve the same style of responses to Tombura deadly violent situation from the central Government and UN family including civil society and media. But central government authorities are totally silent, it is only UNMISS as peace partner attempting to prevent the deadly communal violence,” said Yakani.
