Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Members of the public have applauded the organized forces for keeping law and order during the Christmas, saying the event this year was peaceful. On Christmas day, the national and state governments deployed joint security forces in major towns and residential areas across the country.<\/p>\n

This was to ensure safety and protection of the citizens and their properties. Speaking on the Dawn Show; Juba, Wau, Yambio, and Renk residents expressed satisfaction with the work of the security forces.<\/p>\n

Mbilia Marriam from Wau said: \u201cThe security was really good and I would like to thank the government. I have really got fresh air. Each year, December didn\u2019t go well, but this year everyone is at peace. Let people continue with this spirit from home to work and to the country and we will all be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe celebrations went well, there was nothing bad. Nobody has fought with his colleagues. We came to Wau and we are returning to Mapel this morning,\u201d Mr. Brown from Wau said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank God, the Almighty. Nothing bad has happened in Tongping. And I hope it is the same in the ten states of South Sudan and the three administrative areas \u2013 and all the land of South Sudan. I never heard something bad,\u201d Chuol George Majak from Tongpiny said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank those responsible for having provided good security. There was cooperation between the community Wash group and the security and they managed to control those who disrupt prayers. This is the spirit we want between security and the common citizens.\u201d said Ustaz Majiok from IDPs camp in Juba.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has never been like this before. Because of violence by then, many people had escaped. But now many of them have returned to the normal villages and to their normal towns,\u201d unidentified caller from Rumbek said during the dawn show.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Lakes states, the residents there have described this year\u2019s Christmas as the best ever in nearly a decade of experiencing inter communal violence.<\/p>\n

But due improved security, the state capital, Rumbek has reportedly witnessed an influx of returnees who rejoined with the families on Christmas. The Press Secretary in the Office of Governor in Lakes state said Christmas this year is one of the best since law and order was restored in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of the best as you can see people are moving freely because of the total calmness that has come into the state through the auspicious of Riiny Tueny who has brought smile into the faces of people of Lakes state,\u201d the press secretary in the office of governor in Lakes state.<\/p>\n
