The minister insisted that the demolitions would continue and advised illegal occupants and squatters on government lands to vacate peacefully before being forcefully evicted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have found a lot of squatters who are unproductive labor. They are supposed to be doing something else. We have demolished all the structures from here and they have to go to where they came from,\u201d he stated. \u201cOur mission will continue. We have also demolished illegal structures on the roadsides. We will continue with the exercise until we are sure that all public land is recovered and handed over to the rightful owners or the rightful government institutions.\u201d<\/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.
