The order also bars residents from entering the bush to conduct trade with the group.<\/p>\n<p>The governor warned that any individual found violating the directive will face severe legal consequences, including a fine of up to 5,000,000 South Sudanese Pounds, imprisonment for a minimum of six months, and confiscation of any goods involved in the illegal trade.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Daniel has directed county commissioners and security organs\u2014including the police, National Security Service, and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)\u2014to ensure immediate and full enforcement of the ban.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate move, State Order No. 02\/2026 established an investigation committee to probe the recent killing of civilians in Ibba County. These deaths have been reportedly linked to Ambororo groups operating in the area.<\/p>\n<p>The committee is chaired by the State Advisor on Legal Affairs, with the Police Commissioner serving as deputy chairperson. Other members include representatives from the Human Rights Commission, the National Security Service, and the State Legislative Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The committee is tasked with establishing the facts of the incident and must submit a detailed report with recommendations to the Governor\u2019s Office within seven days.<\/p>\n<p>State authorities emphasized that these measures are necessary to restore law and order and to prevent further violence against unarmed civilians. The governor\u2019s office stated that the protection of residents remains the top priority as the state manages the security challenges posed by the migratory pastoralists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">South-Sudan<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
