5 Killed, 6 Wounded In Pinyundu
An area Member of Parliament (MP) John Joseph Abulla has said that three people got killed on their way to Pinyundu, a town close to the Ethiopian territory on Wednesday. 17 May 2013 By Jacob Achiek Jok BOR, 17 May 2013 [Gurtong] – “On their way to Pinyundu, they fell into Murle militia ambush. Immediately, three of them were killed and six others got wounded. On the same day, two soldiers riding bicycles fell into the ambush and also got killed,” Abulla Told Gurtong on Thursday. Abulla said that the county government managed to send the organized forces to verify the killings. He said killing has become a constant case in the county, adding that people in Pochalla County are farmers but with the killings, the farmers fear to carry on with their activities. He said that the government needs to do something so that the people would cultivate for themselves. According to the legislator, three days ago, three other people were also killed there. Last week, three Ugandans were also killed along the Juba-Bor road when a group of unidentified gunmen ambushed the vehicle they were travelling in. The ambushes are being suspected to be the works of rebel David Yau Yau, who first rebelled in 2010 after failing the state parliamentary seat contest. He accepted an amnesty in 2011 only to take up arms again a year later. Despite a recent thaw in relations between Sudan and South Sudan, Philip Aguer, the Sudan’s Liberation Army Spokesperson, the Yau-Yau led rebels get assistance from Sudan's National Intelligence and Security Services in the form of airdrops of weapons, ammunition and supplies. "We are convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Khartoum has been supplying them up to now," Aguer said. The Geneva-based Small Arms Survey, which tracks weapon supplies, said in a recent report much of the rebels' equipment comes from Khartoum. Sudan has denied the charges.
