SECURITY STABLE IN PIBOR AFTER REBELS CLASH WITH ARMY Tuesday, 19 March 2013 18:39 |
Pibor County Commissioner said on Tuesday the security in town was calm following an attempt by David Yau Yau’s rebels to loot the area on Monday night. Joshua Konyi told CRN over a phone interview that the SPLA was able to control the situation at midnight when rebels tried to loot an area south of Pibor. He said now security was okay in Pibor. Mr Konyi blamed Yau Yau’s rebels for the security problems in Jonglei state. He said the rebels on Sunday ambushed army forces that were on their way to Likwangole payam. Army spokesperson Philip Aguer declined to comment on the incident saying he was in the border overseeing SPLA withdrawal from the areas marked as the security buffer zone. The Red Cross said on Monday that at least 62 people were injured by the clashes between army and rebels and 30 serious cases were treated by a team of surgeons that came from Malakal to Pibor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
