They include 24 boys, 28 girls, and 16 women,\u201d Kelang said.<\/p>\n<p>The official lauded the Jonglei State government for the recovery of the abductees whom he said are receiving psychosocial support in Pibor before they are reunited with their families.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the abductees look traumatized. So they are here in our custody so that they receive support from partners and the government. These abductees were recovered from Bor but the majority are still in the hand of the attackers. So we call on the Jonglei State government to do more,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, John Samuel Manyuon, the Jonglei State information minister, said the abductees were recovered through negotiations with armed youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recovered 65 abductees. 41 children aged between 8 months and 13 years, and 24 women. They were recovered through negotiation with the ringleaders of the youth. They willingly gave us the children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Manyok Deng, a state human rights advisor, said the recovery and handover is a gesture of peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe return of these children even as the situation remains dire is a gesture that we are for peace and committed to the Pieri peace conference. Abduction is a violation of a child&#8217;s right to a dignified life. So the recovery is a good step and I call on Pibor to emulate the same move to show that we are ready to usher our people to peaceful coexistence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
