Jonglei MP accuses Boma authorities of violating cessation of
hostilities agreement

A parliamentarian representing Twic South County in Jonglei state has
accused Boma authorities of violating a cessation of hostilities
agreement signed in April between Dinka Bor of Jonglei and Murle of
Boma in Juba.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Sunday, Juach Makuei Juach, said the
Murle community has not fulfilled its obligations to the agreement by
not returning the abducted children and stolen cattle within the
stipulated time period of one month in the agreement.

Juach further said Jonglei state has respected the agreement by not
attacking Boma communities since the agreement was signed.

He also accused the Boma state government of covering up criminals
from Murle, saying no single criminal has been identified.

Previously, Boma’s Minister of Local Government said they could not
apprehend any suspects from Murle tribe.
