Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b> A South Sudan civil society watchdog has appealed to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to establish a civilians protection base amid escalating conflicts in Kajo-keji county.<\/p>\n

This comes after cattle herders suspected to have come from Jonglei State\u2019s Bor County attacked villagers at Lire Payam of Kajo-keji County killing at least 21 civilians, most of whom were unarmed young men.<\/p>\n

In a statement extended to Sudans Post this morning, the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO) called on the United Nations Mission in South Sudan to issue a statement and establish a base for civilians protection in Kajo-keji.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) should issue a statement and if possible, establish temporary protection of civilians base in Kajo-keji county areas that are witnessing deadly violence and killings,\u201d the statement reads in part.<\/p>\n

The civil society watchdog further warned that the violence may spiral out of hands if authorities and partners do not immediately prescribe a remedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current situation in Kajo-keji county is resulting in forceful displacement and extrajudicial killings between the cattle herders and farmers,\u201d the statement signed by CEPO\u2019s executive director Edmund Yakani said.<\/p>\n

\u201cChances are high the situation may get out of control if it is not genuinely and effectively addressed now,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

It further called on the community leaders from the two sides to settle their disputes without the use of violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cCEPO is urging the traditional and community leaders of the cattle herders and the farmers to abstain from deadly violence among themselves and further avoid be forced by elites to deadly confront each other,\u201d it said, adding that \u201cviolence doesn\u2019t solve, but complicates problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
