Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>At least four people were killed, and 300 cattle were raided in Nimule on Friday by a group of unidentified armed raiders.<\/p>\n

The group attacked a cattle camp in Jele, a suburb of Nimule town, and raided 300 cattle.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The City Review yesterday, Malcom Madol, who is a chief at Nimule border, confirmed the incident and said the cattle keepers were attacked by armed youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was at around 9 pm that a group of youth came and attacked the cattle keepers at the cattle camp. They killed four people and took 300 cattle with them, \u201cMadol said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now we don\u2019t have any idea where they (attackers) are heading to, \u201che added.<\/p>\n

When contacted, the town clerk of Nimule denied any knowledge about the raid, saying he had no idea about the issue.<\/p>\n

He said he had called for an emergency meeting with other authorities in Nimule to find out what happened exactly.<\/p>\n

Insecurity fears<\/b><\/p>\n

On February 19, 2022, the Governor of Eastern Equatoria, Louis Lobong Lojore, visited Magwi County, where there had been an influx of cattle that sparked security concerns in the areas of Opari, Pageri, and Agoro.<\/p>\n

After citizens had raised concerns about human rights violations by the herders, Lobong went to speak to the cattle keepers.<\/p>\n

He urged the cattle keepers to respect local communities and stop encroaching on their farms.<\/p>\n

The chief of the large cattle camp in Opari, Abraham Kur, said they moved to Magwi in search of water.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not come here by force. The condition of the cattle made us come this far in search of water and grass. When the first rains come, we will go back to Lobonok and Jonglei, [which are] our home states\u201d.<\/p>\n

Cattle herders from Jonglei State\u2019s Bor and other states have always clashed with farmers in Equatoria region over grazing territory.<\/p>\n

In March, the administration of Magwi County in Eastern Equatoria State said more than 14,000 people were sheltering in Magwi town after being displaced by cattle keepers from Agoro-Chomboro and Amee.<\/p>\n

The town began to witness the influx of IDPs after a group of armed cattle keepers ambushed a group of youth who were bathing at a water point and started shooting at them. There has been an influx of animals in areas of Agoro, Amee, and Pageri of Magwi County that has created fear among the host communities.<\/p>\n

But since then, tensions in the area have significantly decreased following the withdrawal of the cattle keepers.<\/p>\n

This was after the legislators from Magwi County petitioned President Salva Kiir to order the evacuation of cattle in the area to allow the villagers to cultivate freely and avoid confrontation.<\/p>\n

Despite the 2017 presidential order for the evacuation of cattle from the Equatoria region, an influx of cattle has increasingly been seen in the region.<\/p>\n

The Governor of Eastern Equatoria, Louis Lobong Lojore, has urged traders in the state to embrace transparency and ensure that ordinary citizens have equal access to goods in the state.<\/p>\n

He said the traders must charge fairly to bring everyone on board to buy their goods.<\/p>\n

\u201cI admire your efforts to promote peace in the state through your Muslim faith, and especially since we know the majority of you are business people, you restrained our people from obtaining things of their choice through your good company.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, most significantly, I want to encourage you to promote justice in your enterprises, particularly in your interactions with clients daily, \u201che said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us be the guardians of our brothers and sisters. Let us maintain the state\u2019s security by requiring everyone to purchase something from the market, \u201cGovernor Lobong acknowledged.<\/p>\n

He was addressing the Muslim faithful at the State House in Torit on Friday during a one-day breakfast supper.<\/p>\n

Governor Lobong advised the traders in Torit and other counties to open up stores to services closer to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I was asking of you was to ensure that everyone in the state has equal purchasing power, and by doing so, you would have made a significant contribution to bringing services to our people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

According to Lobong, everyone in the country has a responsibility to do their part to assist the government in providing good services to citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it is our obligation as a government to safeguard entrepreneurs, and it is the responsibility of business people to protect their buyers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, he emphasised his commitment to preserving business by maintaining peace in the state.<\/p>\n

Lobong urged traders in the state to be patient as the government works to find a solution to the problems they are experiencing.<\/p>\n

Embrace peace<\/b><\/p>\n

Also, the Governor appealed to the Muslim community to spread the message of peace, love, unity, and reconciliation in the state.<\/p>\n

He praised the citizens for their religious tolerance and urged them to cultivate a culture of hard work, respect, and discipline.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s work together to help our people grow into responsible citizens who are productive and self-sufficient. \u201cWe should be able to live without relying on aid and food imports,\u201d Lobong said.<\/p>\n
