Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s Minister of Defense and Veteran Affairs Angelina Jany Teny has told experts that the major concern as of now is about how to rescue human life, but not to protect the Sudd Wetland.<\/p>\n

Teny made the remarks on Wednesday during the fourth day of public consultation that was ordered by President Salva Kiir Mayardit following public outcry over government plans to dredge Nam River of weed that would have otherwise been conducted without feasibility study.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the audience, Teny who is also the chairperson of the main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) committee for security and defense said the experts should value human lives more than the Sudd Wetland.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re concerned for environment it means you\u2019re concerned for the lives and the livelihood of people. That means the life of flood-affected communities should be the major concern at the moment not Sudd Wetland,\u201d the senior government official said.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the closing session of the public consultation, information minister Michael Makuei Lueth told experts that the government is not suspending its dredging initiative despite the recommendation of halt to dredging-related activities along the Nile by the forum until when an evidence-based study is done.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, secretariat, what are your appropriate words to replace (dredging) because you have stated that you are stopping the (dredging), isn\u2019t?\u201d Makuei asked. \u201cBut we are not stopping the dredging, if we are to use the correct terminology, as it was stated by the expert.\u201d<\/p>\n

The senior government official further said that: \u201cWhat we are saying is, dredging, the way we understood it, means cleaning.\u201d<\/p>\n
