Central Equatoria State Minister of Information Suba Samuel Manase said that the police will maintain security in the area to make sure no more fights erupt between the farmers and the cattle keepers in Luri area.

“The government in the first place has sent in the police force in order to make sure that there is peace and normalcy in that particular situation.” 

Suba said that investigations will be carried out to find out the root cause of the problem and apprehend the perpetrators.

In a separate incident where fighting erupted on Monday along the Terekeka road, also between the farmersand cattle keepers 3 people were killed and four others wounded while many sought for refuge within Juba town.

Central Equatoria State Police Commissioner Major General Henry Danima reported that many people have run into the bush for fear that the fight will erupt again.

 “Some people came there and shot the people in that village; they wounded four people and killed three. We rushed there but when they saw the police they ran away to the bush,” he said.

General Danima says that as much as the situation is now calm many have left their homes in Luri seeking refuge at the Juba one Primary School.

Central Equatoria Relief and Rehabilitation Commission Coordinator, Satimon Lodu gives the statistics of the displaced.

“The number of people displaced in Kwörijik and Molubor is  6,772 these are the people who have been scattered but the present figure of those who have reached Juba is 400 and are being hosted at Juba one” he said.
