Ador said the administration of justice is an issue affecting security and the poor road connectivity slows the improvement of justice sector.

He said that chiefs do not share information about criminals in their communities due to fear that it would put them at risk in the hands of the criminals who are also the members of communities.

Thon believes that most of the cattle raiders are the same members who took part in the disarmament exercise and they resumed cattle raiding after the process were suspended in Pibor County.

He told Gurtong that priorities for development in the state should be directed to the areas where most sources of insecurity are common to eliminate insecurity by connecting Pibor with neighbouring counties by road.

Thon said that David Yau Yau forces are destabilizing the communities in Pibor County and there is no possibility for the people of Pibor to be stable with presence of David Yau Yau in the state.

In February the peace initiatives planned by Pibor County Members of Parliament from both the national government and the state level demanded the involvement of the United Nations in the mediation.

Pibor County Commissioner Joshua Konyi has said that the peace process has been initiated by the local authorities in the area.

The Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) is now moving towards Pibor County to hunt for the David Yau Yau before the rain season starts.

State Governor Kuol Manyang Juuk said that Yau Yau has rejected the amnesty being granted by the president and the SPLA will get rid of him.

Manyang said that they need the strengthening of police forces in the areas where cattle raiders and abductors create insecurity.

The Inspector General of Police General Pieng Deng Kuol said that they are taking on the community policing to help in boosting security in the volatile state.
