Over 1,000 firearms collected from Jalwau citizens, Tonj state
Authorities in Jalwau County in South Sudan's Tonj State have
collected about 1, 3000 firearms from local residents recently, a
local official said.
Jalwau County Commissioner Samuel Gum told Radio Tamazuj on Sunday
that they had collected about 1,300 pieces of firearms from the hands
of civilians in a campaign aimed at reducing the rate of crime and
inter-communal fighting in the area.
Gum further said they face a lot of difficulties in collecting the
firearms that are rampant in the possession of the civilians.
He noted that the county’s porous and wide borders has made the
collection of arms a very difficult task as people can smuggle arms in
and out without being caught.
