Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Violence has just erupted in South Sudan\u2019s border town of Nimule in Magwi of Eastern Equatoria state after cattle herders from neighboring Jonglei state stormed a community meeting killing a local chief, eyewitnesses have said.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post in Nimule, several eyewitnesses said that violence erupted when armed youth from Jonglei State\u2019s Bor approached a community meeting of the Ma\u2019adi Community and started taking pictures and when they were told not to take pictures; they started shooting randomly killing the community chief.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were in a community meeting an hour ago. They came in good number and they have guns. When they arrived at the meeting venue, they started recording the community meeting and I don\u2019t know the motive, but I am sure they were coming with an intention to disrupt the meeting,\u201d one eyewitness said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter they were told not to stop taking pictures, they started to first shoot in the air to disrupt the meeting. When they saw that the people are not scared and were not going anywhere, they started shooting at us and they shot Chief John Ebele in the stomach and he died immediately,\u201d the eyewitness said.<\/p>\n

Another eyewitness said that security forces who were nearby didn\u2019t respond to the attack, despite having seen the civilians from Bor moving with guns inside the town since the morning and \u201cit was clear that they are going to make trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

The eyewitness added that the \u201clate John Ebele is chief of Anzara area.\u201d<\/p>\n

When contacted by Sudans Post, the Executive Director of Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO), Edmund Yakani, condemned the killing and said that the act was unacceptable, urging the government in Eastern Equatoria state to intervene in the shortest possible time to avert revenge attacks and bring the culprits to justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cCEPO strongly condemns the extrajudicial killing of the Madi chief today in Nimule. This is unacceptable and provocative act for inter-communal violence. The leadership of Eastern Equatoria State must immediately intervene to prevent further occurrence of revenge attacks among the conflicting communities,\u201d Yakani said.<\/p>\n

Yakani urged the pastoralist communities, not only in Eastern Equatoria, but across the country, to avoid act of violence that may trigger further conflicts among communities and urged the national government in Juba to intervene and bring the Eastern Equatoria state violence to an end once and for all.<\/p>\n

\u201cCEPO is urging the pastoralist communities to avoid acts that provoke violence among communities,\u201d Yakani said.<\/p>\n

He also urged \u201cthe national government to handle the issue of the farmers and pastoralists in Magwi once and for all. This violent situation will lead to serious crimes against humanity. Incidences of extraordinary killings are on the rise in the Magwi county area.\u201d<\/p>\n
