Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The government of Eastern Equatoria State has promised to hunt down and arrest the gunmen, who killed aid workers in Ikwoto County, last week.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, three civilians working for Caritas \u2013 Switzerland organization, were gunned down as they were returning from a field work in Hafialari village.<\/p>\n

According to Alphonse Muras Chacha, a state legislator representing the area, the humanitarians were shot dead by unknown assailants on their convoy of two vehicles, at 7 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n

Muras criticized the state government, for allegedly keeping silence over the insecurity in Ikwoto County.<\/p>\n

However, Aliandro Lotok, Press Secretary in the Office of the state governor, said the government will move to the restive county to bring the perpetrators to book.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government is going there (to Ikwoto) and will arrest these people. There will be investigation and the villagers will told to bring out these criminals and they will be produced and handed to the government,\u201d he told Eye Radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo stone will be left unturned until these people are arrested. When you kill a person, you will have to be arrested and held accountable for the crime because nobody is allowed to go against the laws of this country. I assure you that these people will be arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the attack, UN Humanitarian Coordinator in the country, Sara Beysolow Nyanti called on armed actors to respect international humanitarian law and allow humanitarian access.<\/p>\n

The latest attack in Ikwoto bring to five, the number of aid workers killed in the country since the beginning of these year, according to the UN agency.<\/p>\n
