Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Three people have been killed and six others wounded during clashes between armed cattle keepers and members of the organized forces in Ruweng Administrative Area.<\/p>\n

Local authorities said Friday\u2019s attack, which was allegedly provoked by the herdsmen, has disrupted oil production in the area.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at the Ofra army barrack situated about 26 kilometers, West of Panriang town.<\/p>\n

Ruweng Information Minister James Arop Ayuel said the youth drove their cattle through the barrack and defied orders to sidetrack the army facility.<\/p>\n

This led to fierce exchange of gunfire that also wounded six other people. The casualties have not been identified.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey drove their cattle into the army barrack and the army was not happy, they were asking them why should you do this, this is a place designated for the army why do you pass your cattle from here?\u201d Arop told Eye Radio on phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen most of these armed youths reacted negatively. They began shooting at the army and when the army was trying to arrest them, some of them they run away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minister said the situation has been tense although they managed to restore order.<\/p>\n

He strongly warns any insecurities around the oilfields.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, oilfields are vital areas for the government of South Sudan. It generates a lot of revenue for the government and if people fight around the oilfields, then the oil operators will run away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, today (Saturday), they are not operating in the areas of Wuzin and Alnar because those ones are foreigners; the Chinese and the Malaysians. They don\u2019t want to hear a gunshot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The minister appeals to the national government to ensure that cattle keepers are moved away from the oil fields.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy appeal to the government of national unity is for the oilfields to be left for the army and all the cattle keepers kept away from the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruweng oilfields are operated by Greater Pioneer Operation Company or GPOC.<\/p>\n

According to the International Monetary Fund, South Sudan\u2019s economic prospects continue to be wedded to its oil, which accounts for almost all its exports and 90% of government revenue.<\/p>\n
