Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>At least five civilians have been killed when alleged rebel forces belonging to the National Salvation Front (NAS) led by General Thomas Cirilo Swaka attacked a cattle camp belonging to Jonglei state IDPs in Eastern Equatoria state, according to the chairman of Bor Community Youth Association (BCYA) Dr. Bior Kwer.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Bior said the attack was launched on Sunday morning by the rebel group with the use of heavy weapons including heavy machine and light machine guns resulting in the killing of several civilians including women and children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning, reports have reached BCYA that the cattle-keeping Dinka Bor IDPs have been attacked by the NAS rebels in Eastern Equatoria State. The highly coordinated attack on the IDPs was carried out with heavy weapons such as RPGs, PKM machine guns, and some light weapons,\u201d Dr. Bior said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the attack, five IDPs have been murdered and unconfirmed number of women and children have been scattered into the bushes where the rebels are continuously hunting them down,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

The community leader further called on the government of South Sudan in Juba to send in forces to the site of IDPs to protect them from what he calls continued attack from the rebel National Salvation Front of General Thomas Cirilo Swaka.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call upon the government of South Sudan to send in a force to protect the IDPs. Attacking IDPs is a crime against humanity and NAS leaders must be held to account for this blatant war crime,\u201d he said, adding that the group is preparing to brief the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bor Community Youth Association (BCYA) is gathering more information and will comprehensively brief the public in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n
