The security situation is now calm after the attackers withdrew to the Ethiopian side of the border,\u201d he said. \u201cUp to now, no civilians have returned to Nyat because the entire village of 500 homes was burnt to ashes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout 1,500 displaced households are currently in Jebel Boma town without food, shelter, and water so we are appealing for relief aid,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Kelang condemned the attack which he said was carried out by armed elements from Ethiopia\u2019s Gambella region. He said diplomatic channels were being pursued to arrest the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the side of the attackers, 14 were killed and they were wearing Ethiopian police uniforms,\u201d he said. \u201cAs we speak, our chief administrator is in Juba to engage the national government on this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, John Koko Maze, the GPAA peace advisor, called on the national government to intervene and restore peace in the restive area.
