Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Central Equatoria State officials from Lo\u2019bonok Payam are demanding the immediate removal of cattle from the area.<\/p>\n

The group accused the cattle herders of killing, looting of property, and displacement of indigenous people from the homes.<\/p>\n

Addressing the media on Thursday, Cosmas Juma Tranquillo, Legal Counsel to the Lo\u2019bonok Organization Development Community Association (LODCA) said the regular State cabinet meeting suspended until the issue is addressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the cattle, our cabinet isn\u2019t operating, and how will we wait if our cabinet isn\u2019t working in our state?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why governor established the committee to work and ensure that all cattle in Central Equatoria State are returned to their original locations as soon as possible,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The officials were reacting to a provision of a deal signed by Eastern Equatoria State security organs that permitted cattle keepers till July to return to their homes before they could use forceful means.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Tranquilo, allowing cattle keepers more time to stay in the area would cause more conflict.<\/p>\n

They disagreed with the decision of Eastern Equatoria State to extend more grace period to the herders till July.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat agreement is between the cattle keepers from Bor and Eastern Equatoria State. So, we are not part of that meeting that came up with the agreement that allows attle herders to exist on our land until July,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow could you expect someone who wasn\u2019t present at the meeting to follow a decision made in another state. The Central Equatoria State has its own governor, who is in charge of cattle concerns and is led by our security advisor,\u201d Tranquilo protested<\/p>\n

The legal adviser criticized the decision of Eastern Equatoria State authorities, saying the agreement, merely serves as a warning to the herders but does protect the locals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe require immediate removal of the cattle from this location. We won\u2019t claim to be a member of the July proposal. From now on, we do not want to see any animals within CES,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Allahjabu Samson Sabur, a lawmakers in the R-TNLA representing Lo\u2019bonok, said they want cattle herders to return to their homeland without further delay.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a different state called Central Equatoria State. What is called one and a half months for the cattle herders to go to their places of origin, is not our call.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis one and half a month are too long for us, the people of Lo\u2019bonok. We want them to leave right now, not tomorrow, or in a month. Enough is enough for us,\u201d Sabur echoed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want them to leave now.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time officials from Eastern Equatoria State have stated such a statement about the removal of cattle from their territory, but none of the previous requests have succeded.<\/p>\n

The government of Central Equatoria State postponed cabinet meetings earlier this month and formed four committees to address the state\u2019s main concerns, including the mandatory evacuation of cattle.<\/p>\n

This was discussed at their most recent cabinet meeting shared by governor Emmanuel Adil Anthony.<\/p>\n

The officials were told to disseminate the message of peace across the state.<\/p>\n

They were also expected to reinforce the mandatory evacuation of marauding livestock herders to their origin areas and stop illegal logging.<\/p>\n
