Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b> A South Sudan\u2019s civil society watchdog, the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO) has warned that Wednesday\u2019s attack in which ten people were killed along the Nile is a sign of resumption of violence in Upper Nile state.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, gunmen attacked a boat heading to Unity State\u2019s Adok Port at Gondokoro of Central Equatoria state killing ten traders. Lawmakers representing Unity State in the Council of State called for investigation to held the perpetrators accountable.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the CEPO condemned and describing the attack as disturbing and warned that it may be a sign of resumption of violence in the Upper Nile region in which hundreds of civilians were killed last year and thousands more displaced.<\/p>\n

\u201cCEPO condemned the crime act of gunmen ambushing boat in the River Nile heading to Leer county. This act is disturbing and it is resumption of the deadly communal violence in upper Nile state,\u201d the civil society watchdog said.<\/p>\n

Edmund Yakani, the Executive Director of CEPO called on the transitional government to deploy the Necessary Unified Forces (NUF) who graduated last year to provide security to civilians and their properties across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe redeployment of the graduated Necessary Unified Forces (NUF) is essential for the sake of protection of civilians and provision of individual and community safety and security,\u201d he told Sudans Post from Juba.<\/p>\n
