Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief Administrator of Pibor Administrative Area has told President Kiir that the situation is calm after the recent deadly clashes in Pochalla County.<\/p>\n

Lokoli Ame Bullen briefed the president on Monday about the general security situation in the Greater Pibor Area.<\/p>\n

Bullen\u2019s Juba visit comes a week after fierce fighting broke out between the South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces and Pochalla armed youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe briefed him (President Kiir) about the situation in the Greater Pibor Administrative Area especially on the situation in Pochalla, where a group of rebels attacked the barracks of SSPDF. So, we came to brief him that the situation is calm now,\u201d he told state television SSBC.<\/p>\n

Pochalla officials blamed the SSPDF for starting the violence saying it was triggered by the killing of Commander Colonel Joseph Okony, but the army said it acted in self-defense.<\/p>\n

According to the SSPDF spokesperson, the army used air power to squash the militias who almost overran the army barrack.<\/p>\n

The government in Pochalla also accused the leadership in Pibor of being behind the dispute, an allegation the authorities denied.<\/p>\n
