The army, an official disclosed, killed Brig General, James Kabila
after he declined to respond to calls from state authorities to be
probed over last week’s murder of a World Vision staff in Yambio town.
Kabila was a prime suspect in the killing of Thomas Kumbayo, a World
Vision staff last seen at an entertainment center near the town.
Gbudue state information minister, Gibson Wande said a special force
comprising of the South Sudanese army (SPLA) and security operatives
shot Kabila and his body guards after he turned down a request to be
peacefully taken to a security office for questioning.
“He [Kabila] refused and ordered his body guards to open fire which
resulted into his death and his body guards, but his wives and
children were safe,” the minister told the state-owned Yambio FM.
Wande, however, described the killing of the senior SSNLM commander as
an “isolated” incident that would have no impact on last year’s peace
accord between government and the group.
According to the minister, already underway is a plan to have members
of the former rebel re-integrated into the national army.
He said the security situation in Yambio town was now calm and urged
citizens to continue with normal work and business activities.
Attacks against humanitarian and relief personnel constitute to the
war crimes, according to international humanitarian law. Over 80
humanitarian aid workers have reportedly been killed in South Sudan
ever since the crisis started in December 2013.

"He who kills by the sword dies by the sword". May God help South
Sudanese to value human dignity in all human beings moving and living
in South Sudan. How do the two now argue their cases before the divine
court in heaven?
