RUMBEK, 24 April 2017 [Gurtong] - Madhak Wiljang said that the
attackers raided all cattle in the camp, in the incident that occurred
between 4:30 am to 7 am.
“The attackers were well armed with more PKMs and AK47 and some unique
riffles seemed to be like 12” said the Commissioner.
He explained that it is the second raiding in Paloc County after last
month when over 1,498 herds of cattle were raided by neighboring
Eastern Lakes State youth.
Madhak calls upon the authorities in Eastern Lakes State to recover
and return the raided cattle.
He appealed to the government and UN Humanitarian agencies in the
State to deliver emergency food assistance to the affected population
in Paloc County who have lost everything as a result of the raiding.
