state have reportedly arrested the executive director for Unity
Cultural and Development Center (UCDC), a local organization involved
in advocacy and humanitarian activities in Wau.

Sources said Angelo Bensencio Mongu (commonly known as Unity) was
arrested on 19 April, 2017 together James William, a staff member.
No reasons were, however, given for the arrest by security agents of the duo.
Security operatives also stormed UCDC office that same day and
confiscated some assets belonging to the organization, including five
laptops, one printer, a scanner, several files, a Land Cruiser pickup
and the director’s private car, a source told Sudan Tribune.
Although William was released after being detained for a week, Mongu
is still being detained without any charge or investigations.
Close relatives of the detained executive director said they were
denied access to the latter, visiting him twice since he was detained.
Multiples sources also disclosed that the executive director’s
confiscated land cruiser, registration, WBG 828 A was cited moving in
and around Wau town carrying armed soldiers and supplies. The car was
last cited between Kuajok and Gogrial towns of Gogrial state.
Until now, however, it remains unclear whether the vehicle has been
released or is still “illegally” being used by authorities.
The organisation has suspended its activities till further notice,
with its Wau office closed for more than two weeks now. As such, some
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from these sites are already
worried about their food security status if the NGO decided to
continue suspending its activities for longer periods.
UCDC is a lead agency in food assistance distribution to Wau IDPs’
camps, as well as in six other sites, including the cathedral,
Lokoloko, Nazareth, Sikka Hadid, Abunybuny and South Sudan Red Cross
compound.
Operating in Wau since 2007, UCDC is a nationally registered
non-governmental entity tackling areas of food security, agriculture,
education, health, advocacy, youth programs, human rights and peace
building.

This is a VERY GOOD step that Kiir’s lapdogs, the national
security boys are doing! Next, let them start arresting internationals
NGOs, UN agencies and shutting down World Food Programme food
distribution becuase all of them are disturbing king Kiir’s regime.
For the innocent civilians know that you have been held hostage by
SPLA. You will have to the monster as it is!!!!
