Some of the livestock including 30 goats have been attacked by the hyenas and the MP appealed for security assistance.

Jalle Payam has not experienced difficulties in regards to river outflow since 2006 and the Coordinator for South Sudan Relief Rehabilitation Commission, James Jok said that the communities in Bor town are still maintaining their positions and they believe that numbers of people staying in town are people who are having some work or business.
