Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Governor of Unity State, Dr. Joseph Manytuil has issued a directive to end the collection of taxes on fish, firewood, and other livelihood commodities.<\/p>\n

The order aims to reduce the financial burden on small-scale traders who depend on these goods to support their households.<\/p>\n

The announcement followed the Governor\u2019s visit to the Bentiu IDP camp (formerly the PoC) on Saturday, April 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

During the visit, Dr. Manytuil directed security organs to restore order within the camp and urged the resident communities to prioritize peaceful co-existence.<\/p>\n

Governor Manytuil stated that the state government recognizes the current conditions affecting the population.<\/p>\n

He confirmed that the administration will implement measures to address these challenges and improve the delivery of essential services within the camp.<\/p>\n
