Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The police in Juba County of Central Equatoria State have arrested 39 suspected land grabbers along the Juba \u2013 Mangala road.<\/p>\n

The director of Juba County Police, Brigadier General Wilson William Adiang says the arrests were made yesterday afternoon at Kubri Mohandisiin \u2013 north-east of the capital.<\/p>\n

General Adiang told the suspects at Juba County Headquarters that he was ordered to end land grabbing in Juba County.<\/p>\n

Adiang He says the 39 land grabbers will be investigated \u2013 adding that the law will take its course.<\/p>\n

Addressing the suspects at the county police headquarters in Kapuri on Wednesday, the security official said majority of the land grabbers are military officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are we spoiling our reputations as soldiers, all the time land grabbers are those who are wearing army uniforms,\u201d Adiang said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s leave this land grabbing. We are the ones spoiling this country and you say, foreigners are the ones spoiling it, which is not true because if you look at yourselves all of you are Dinaks, Nuer and Shuluk and some Equestrians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juba County has witnessed unprecedented incidents of land grabbing \u2013 with perpetrators going unpunished in recent months.<\/p>\n

In some of the areas, locals have been forced to leave their native homes for fear of harassment.<\/p>\n

The local authorities said they have arrested at least 500 land grabbers including military officers in different suburbs of the capital this year.<\/p>\n

Some of those land grabbers explained why they decided to grab the land.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn South Sudan companies are more important than citizens, because all those areas are full of companies, and citizens are just there without houses like this Gumba is full of companies,\u201d Khamis (not his real name) said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis place, we found it empty and if we developed it, those of Mapao and Kubri Teman will come here and this place will be under the administration of Mangala Payam.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went there because some of us are tired of trauma inside this UNMISS here, like us we don\u2019t have anything, when there\u2019s peace like this you got free and you go anywhere,\u201d said John (not his real name).<\/p>\n
