Raja town ‘deserted’ after rebel attack
Raja town in South Sudan’s Lol State has been deserted after civilians
fled the town during the recent fighting between SPLA troops and
SPLA-IO fighters.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Sunday, several local residents in Raja
said the town is deserted although the security situation returned to
normal following clashes between the two rival forces over the past
two weeks.
The residents pointed out that a large number of Raja citizens have
crossed to Sudan, while some of them are still living in the bush.
They pointed out that the conflict-displaced people are suffering due
to lack of food, water and medicines.
A local resident noted that local traders are leaving the town because
citizens do not have enough money to buy goods at the market.
