NBGS Border Conference Concludes A three day inter-communal peace conference between Dinka Malual of Northern Bahr el Ghazal state (NBGS) and Rezeigat community of Eastern Darfur state in Sudan concluded on Friday. 27 January 2014
By Abraham Agoth *AWEIL, 27 January 2014 [Gurtong] -* The two groups agreed on a soft border management and peaceful coexistence among the two bordering communities. According to the representatives of the two bordering tribes, sides are satisfied with how they can inter-relate to each other during the four months' stay of nomadic Rezeigat grazing their cattle in NBGS. The representatives agreed to allow basic services to nomads where each adult or child of Rezeigat is given right of accessing basic services in education, health facilities and free movement within the counties they are residing in with their cattle. "We thought it is important that the Rezeigat adults especially women and children attend to classes. Another thing is to let them practice true peace and love among adults," the State peace coordinator, William Kolong Pioth said. The conference also agreed to include compensation of lives of both human beings and cattle from both sides should there arise any interference. One major agreement was that the nomad will have no arms while coming for green pastures and water in NBGS. The conference concluded after a mutual agreement which recommended for an immediate commencement of the migration of Rezeigat into territory of South Sudan.
