The guns were handed over to the government following a series of meetings between local chiefs and a high-level security committee that is currently on the ground.<\/p>\n

The security committee comprises of Chief of Defence forces, Gen Santino Deng Wol, Inspector General of police Gen, Majak Akec Malok, and Director of Internal Security Bureau, Gen Akol Koor Kuc.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe traditional Chiefs of stated Payams also affirmed that whoever will be found in possession of firearms will be disowned by respective authorities (Rualbet and Madhiath Payams) after signing of commitment document and shall be imprisoned for a period not less than 10 years or forcefully recruited into the army.\u201d<\/p>\n
