Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Authorities in South Sudan\u2019s Jonglei State have said that they have recovered at least ten children from their abductors in the state\u2019s Uror County.<\/p>\n

The children, abducted earlier this year by the White Army, are now in the care of Save the Children, awaiting reunification with their families in the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA).<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post today, Jonglei State information minister Elizabeth Jock confirmed the children\u2019s rescue and handover to Save the Children in Yuai, Uror County.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are children recovered from Yuai in Uror county. They are children that some of White Army have been abducting this year, 2023 and the government of Jonglei State took a decision to collect and send them back to their parents,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The senior government official further said that Save the Children is preparing for the children\u2019s reunification with their parents in the GPAA.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow Save the Children is waiting for the flight for these children to be taken to Greater Pibor Administrative Area. The children are currently in Uror county headquarters in the hands of Save the Children,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

While the breakdown of boys and girls among the ten children remains undisclosed, Jock emphasized the urgency of their reunification, even considering the approaching Christmas season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we all know, we are approaching Christmas season, I may not say that the children will go this week, or I may not say that they will celebrate the new year here, but the plan remains with Save the Children. For us the government we did our part,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The minister further called on the governments in Jonglei and Greater Pibor Administrative Area to peacefully co-exist and respect human rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cChild rights are more important; you cannot be going as the criminal and you go and abduct someone\u2019s child and sell the child away with cattle that is totally wrong,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are enemy of the people of South Sudan what I can assure them is that let them stay away from these children,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
