Lakes State MPs appeal for calm
Friday, 20 July 2012 06:36 Mabior Mach South Sudan >>> . Members of Lakes State parliament from Chueibet County have called for calm and urged youths to refrain from violence. The appeal followed inter-communal fighting between rival youths in the county, during which more than 20 were killed on the eve of the first anniversary of independence of South Sudan. "We, the honorable members of Chueibet County in Lakes State Legislative Assembly, have here strongly condemned the action as bad practice. We appeal to both sides to let them be calm to enable the government to take action," MP Malek Macut Padai told a news conference on Friday. He said the clashes have retarded progress in the state. "This insecurity has made some schools be closed down and also it has created the hunger in the area even. And this insecurity has stopped [but] most of community are not cultivating now. As such, we are requesting our communities to let them be calm so that we make some modalities to let the government take its measures," the MP said. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
