Several calls were made by various leaders for prevention of this deadly incidence but less attention was given to the calls made,\u201d the CEPO statement reads in part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Community Empowerment for Progress Organization is taking this opportunity to urge the leadership of Jonglei and Eastern Equatoria states to establish a committee to investigate the identity of the perpetrators,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n<p>It stressed that \u201cThere is contradictory leveling of the identity of the perpetrators, the in the statement of Eastern Equatoria State the perpetrators were identified as Murle raiders while in the statement of the Bor community leader the perpetrators were identified as mobilized youth of Eastern Equatoria. It is essential that the identity of the perpetrators is clearly identified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yakani further urged \u201cboth state and national government to urgently deploy security forces to the areas of the violence to prevent deadly revenge attacks. It is possible for a revenge attack take place. The fear is that any revenge attack may be more deadly than the registered incident of the cattle raiding. Sustainable solution is required on this frictions between farmers of Magwi county and pastoralists of Dinka Bor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a time for the government to seek assistance from UNMISS on protection of civilians through increase of UNMISS patrols of establishment of Temporary Operation Base in Mugali. The assistance of UNMISS on protection of the civilians can help in reducing chance of revenge attacks on the civilians population. Safety and protection of our communities should be a priority of the government,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>The group urged \u201cthe three states namely Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei and Central Equatoria to establish a joint strategy for peaceful resolution of the disputes between farmers and pastoralists over the use of the land for cattle grazing and crops farming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally, CEPO will be engaging in creating space for mitigating the resolution of the disputes between farmers and pastoralists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
