Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>At least 20 abductees, including women and children, were on Tuesday handed over to the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) authorities in Pibor town by Jonglei State government officials.<\/p>\n

The former abductees were forcefully taken by armed youth from Jonglei State who invaded and fought in GPAA\u2019s Gurmuk County last month.<\/p>\n

Abraham Kelang, the GPAA information minister, told Radio Tamazuj Tuesday that the recovery means relief for the families of the former abductees.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we received 20 more abductees from our Jonglei State counterparts, bringing the total in our custody to 88. We are happy as a government for this,\u201d he said. \u201cOf the abductees. 10 are girls, four boys, and six women.\u201d<\/p>\n

The local official pointed out that arrangements are underway to reunite the abductees with their families in the coming days.<\/p>\n

For his part, Jonglei State information minister, John Samuel Manyuon, said the abductees had their release secured in an ongoing recovery mission by the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur efforts continue up to the county level. On Sunday, we were in Uror on a one-day trip to talk to the community to give us children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nyany Korok, a GPAA anti-corruption commissioner, lauded the recovery and handover as a show of political will and called for cooperation between Jonglei State and GPAA to combat crimes.<\/p>\n

Last week, GPAA authorities received 68 abductees from the neighboring Jonglei State counterparts during a ceremony in the GPAA capital, Pibor town.<\/p>\n
