The insecurity in Ruweng is caused by the people of Unity State. It happened the day before yesterday that cattle raiders came from Unity state and stole more than 1000 heads of cattle but were recovered yesterday afternoon,\u201d Jaw said.<\/p>\n<p>The top Ruweng official urged the Unity state deputy governor to intervene by talking to armed civilians in Unity state to avoid the alleged attacks against Ruweng civilians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need that spirit and I want my colleague, the deputy governor, to talk with his people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But the deputy governor of Unity state dismissed the claims of cattle raiding and accused the people of Ruweng of standing behind attempts to grab land which he said will be a source of instability if not resolved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonorable Jaw, we are not against you to have your administrative areas but we are very concerned about the consequences of grabbing land from others,\u2019\u2019 Tungwar said at the 5th governors\u2019 forum in Juba on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless you want administrative areas without borders, we would be very happy if Pariang is made to be an administrator alone, and Abiemnom is made to be an Administrative area on its own because there are two counties already, which is another conflict,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He urged for a forum in which the governors and chief administrators of those areas can talk to resolve land disputes and also questioned President Kiir for creating administrative areas with no common borders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Governors and deputy governors and chief administrators, we need a forum where we can discuss this issue. Mayom and Abiemnom were put as one constituency simply because they also have the same border,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy question to his excellency the president, and his excellency, the first vice, who are our principles plus the principles of other political parties. My question is why did you formed an administrative areas with counties which do not have common borders?\u2019\u2019 he questioned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
