President Salva Kiir has declared a 3-month state of emergency in four
areas in the Bahr el Ghazal region.
The states are Wau, Gogrial, Aweil East states, and some parts of Tonj.
State of emergency is a situation of national danger or disaster in
which a government suspends normal constitutional procedures in order
to regain control.
It is not clear why the president made the move; however, the areas
have been witnessing communal violence lately.
This is the second state of emergency the president has declared.
In 2014, Kiir declared a state of emergency in the former Jonglei and
Unity States.
