Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A cross-section of residents of in West Darfur State\u2019s capital El Geneina have welcomed last week\u2019s decision by Governor Tijani Al-Taher Karshoum to impose a dusk-to-dawn curfew and the prohibition of firing guns in the town and its environs.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Musa Al-Ghali, the leader of the Democratic Engineers League, described the decision as spot-on and necessary and said it came at the right time because of criminal activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were security necessities that imposed this decision, including thefts and assaults on citizens,\u201d he explained. \u201cAfter 15 April, there was a constitutional vacuum, security fluidity, and a complete absence of security, justice, police, prosecutors, and other institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Musa, the fluid situation required the presence of government authority and emergency decisions like the ones that were issued by the governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe implementation of these decisions requires mechanisms and the presence of a force on the ground that can move in the city to implement the decision,\u201d he asserted. \u201cThe state of affairs also necessitates emergency courts to issue rulings. In the event of a violation, a deterrent punishment must be imposed without favor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another El Geneina resident, Hussein Kabir, described the decision as successful because its purpose is to limit the spread of crime and combat vices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe noticed seriousness in the implementation n of the governor\u2019s orders and we saw vehicles moving inside the neighborhoods to enforce the curfew,\u201d he explained. \u201cThis has created reassurance for the citizens because every person feels safe at their homes or even when they are moving about.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Governor Al-Taher\u2019s orders led to the stoppage of indiscriminate firing of guns in the town because patrols are monitoring and enforcing the order in the town\u2019s neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope for more similar measures to be taken until the country returns to normal,\u201d Kabir added.<\/p>\n

A civil society activist, Yousif Mohammed Yousif, described the governor\u2019s order as \u201csplendid and accurate for this specific period.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the decision would contribute to establishing security but protested against the fines, saying they are too hefty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am hopeful that the governor\u2019s orders will contribute positively to maintaining security and returning the city to its original good ways,\u201d Yousif added.<\/p>\n
