Armed men kill Sudanese security officer in Bor
This is very tragic news! Why killing security officer while he was doing his job? The problem of Jonglei and Lake State will not stop unless they applied strict rule in order to fear those who kill innocent people without reason. The government of these two states should speed up and work harder in order to protect civillians from those armed outlaws.
