Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The commissioner of Pigi County in Jonglei State has said the security situation in parts of the county remains tense with hundreds of residents displaced following clashes between the SPLA-IO Kitgwang factions in the area last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Nyok Malual Mayik told Radio Tamazuj over the weekend that residents left their homes due to the fear of renewed fighting after Thursday\u2019s clashes in the Atar area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose clashes erupted in Khor-Atar Ardheb between forces loyal to Gen. Johnson Olony and a spiritual leader called Makuach Tot. Civilians who were seeking shelters here after fleeing insecurity in Diel are the ones affected again,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are civilian causalities but we could not get statistics because there is no telephone network there and I am not able to access the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commissioner Malual pointed out that hundreds have been displaced to surrounding areas and lacked food and shelter.<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents have now fled to Wunayen, Wunkiir, Wilnyang, and Amam,\u201d he said. \u201cThey do not have food. There is hunger and they also live in fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gen. Simon Gatwech\u2019s SPLA-IO faction could not be reached for comment while Sebit Koang of Gen. Olony\u2019s Agwelek forces confirmed that there were clashes but said he could not comment further because he was yet to be permitted by his group\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
