This is remarkable act and clear demonstration of primary responsibility for preventing deadly violence among the communities,\u201d Yakani said.<\/p>\n<p>While urging the governor to restructure the local government administration in Nimule, Yakani said the government should implement a disarmament plan that is not discriminative, but should apply to those living in the area without preferential treatments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a positive response to our call and we wish that Nimule local government administration will be restructured to embrace enforcement of rule of law and respect of human rights including proper system of public governance where no multiple centers of decision making in single town,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is good that now state governor is operating from Nimule town. This move should be accomplished with serious non-discriminative disarmament of the civil population. Nimule is a town where each ethnic grouping is armed to the tooth. This made application of rule of law and respect of human rights become harder,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The activist further called upon the civil population living in Nimule town \u201cto embrace rule of law, respect of human rights and adherence to local administration under the local government act, 2009.\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.
