Authorities in South Sudan’s Northern Bahr el Ghazal state have condemned a recent attack on traders from the state operating in Bor, Jonglei state, and called for calm as investigations continue. “The state government is in consultation with the Jonglei state government on the urgency and importance of bringing those responsible for the crime to justice,” Kang said. In response, the Northern Bahr el Ghazal Youth Union, led by Chairperson George Atem Garang, filed a lawsuit against the Jonglei state government, accusing it of failing to arrest the attackers. Garang told Radio Tamazuj on Monday that the suit aims to draw attention to repeated violence against Northern Bahr el Ghazal traders and youth in Jonglei. “As a youth body, we want both governments – of Jonglei and Northern Bahr el Ghazal – to address this crisis and find lasting solutions,” Garang said.
