South Sudan: 4 Gatluak Gai militias killed and 26 captured in Unity State
Juba- Minister of Information, Dr. Barnaba Benjamin Marial confirmed that four Gatluak Gai militias were killed and 26 captured by Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) in Unity state on Saturday as vote for southern Sudan independence opened across the region.
In a press statement at the late Dr. John Garang’s Mausoleum, the minister said the militia group aimed to disrupt the peaceful conduct of the voting.
He said that the government of Southern Sudan will not tolerate such behavior during this referendum exercise.
“If you are citizen or non citizen with an aim of disrupting this exercise, you should be informed earlier that once you were caught there will be no other solutions but to bring you to justice”.
