Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Coordinator of Community Empowerment for Progress Organization in Western Bahr el Ghazal has raised concerns over his safety after he was questioned by the security personnel following the recent students\u2019 demonstrations in the state capital Wau.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m seeing that my life and the lives of my colleagues and institution are in danger,\u201d said Stephen Robo.<\/p>\n

On Monday, hundreds of students at the University of Bahr el Ghazal took to the Wau town streets to protest the lack of food ratios at the campus.<\/p>\n

According to the students, they had no food for three weeks, and despite raising the concern, the state government did not respond to their complaints.<\/p>\n

The students chanted \u201cNo food, No Elections\u201d slogans as they marched to the streets with sticks and pieces of bread, demanding urgent an intervention.<\/p>\n

During the protest, Western Bahr el Ghazal Deputy governor ordered for a truck of food he said, was enough sustain the students for only one week.<\/p>\n

According to CEPO\u2019s Stephen Robo coordinator based in Wau, following the protest, security personnel summoned him, accusing him of instigating the protest.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Eye Radio yesterday, Robo distanced himself from the Bahr el Ghazal University students\u2019 demonstrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been summoned by the National Security in the state on a report somebody wrote about me in relations to the last students\u2019 demonstration at the Bahr el Ghazal University.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the allegations, they\u2019re saying you as Stephen Robo [and others] we are behind the school demonstration demanding for food while chanting Kiir must go.<\/p>\n

We explained that as Stephen, I\u2019m not a student at the University. We are not doing any activity with the students at the University.\u201d<\/p>\n

When contacted by Eye Radio, Western Bahr el Ghazal state Information Minister Nichola Samuel said he had no information about the threats against the activist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no information about this please. The Coordinator of Community Empowerment for Progress Organization in the state did not contact me. However, let me confirm and collect some information from this news,\u201d he said.
