September 19, 2011 (BENTIU) - Unity state government agreed on Friday
to issue compensation for the destruction of farms during conflict in
Guit county between the South Sudan army and rebels.
The Unity state council of ministers made a resolution to compensate
farms destroyed by forces loyal to renegade Gatluak Gai, while on
their to way Sudan People’s Liberation Army headquarters in Guit
county.
The payams [districts] of Waathnyotni and Kuer Gueyni were worst hit.
Gideon Gatpan Thoar, official spokesman of Unity state council of
ministers, in an interview with Sudan Tribune on Monday said that
“communities have reported a loss of new harvest amounting to 394 bags
of maize” and that they will be compensated accordingly by the
government of Unity state.
The council ministers also decided to deploy more forces on the border
between Warrap and Unity states, in particular in Mayiandit county,
which suffered a cattle rustling attack around 10 September which lead
to 46 deaths.
These are timely interventions considering a recent upsurge in
violence and the ongoing problems with food security in South Sudan.
