By Manyang Mayom
August 15, 2010 (KHARTOUM) – An Ethiopian driver was killed and three people sustained serious injuries on Wednesday in a robbery in Rumbek on the road between Aluakluak Payam of Yirol West County and Akot Payam of Rumbek East County.
Lakes state minister of Local government and Law Enforcement Agency Mabor Mayen Wol, said that a road blocks where being used a large scale search was under way.
“I am confident we will capture those criminal[s]”, he said.
One passenger, Mr. Malual Nhial Mager, managed to jump out of the car and escape to Aluakluak police station when they came under fire.
Mager said the robbers appeared on the road 2 miles away from Aluakluak town and started shooting at random.
The three wounded passengers were first admitted to Akot hospital and then transferred to Mapuordit missionary hospital when their condition is understood to have increased worse.
Mager told Sudan Tribune that, “those who sustained wounds include two young teachers from Yirol West County and one man from Ngok tribe, and small boy being a turn boy to the driver was injured by the vehicle on his leg”.
Car robberies and insecurity between Akot Payems of Rumbek East County and Aluakluak Payems in Yirol West County have been occurring since last year.
Lakes state governor Chol Tong Mayay has asked the Ministry of Local Government and Law Enforcement Agency to improve security in Yirol West County.
Local Government minister Mabor Mayen, told Sudan Tribune, they were implementing maximum security measures in order to bring the situation under control.
Mayen said that in a separate incident on Friday southern security forces clashed an armed group wearing military uniform.
“They [had] new military boot[s] – this group are part of Khartoum[‘s] militias – there is no worry at the moment”, he said.
Despite a peace deal in 2005, which ended 22 years of war southern officials have often accused the Khartoum government of backing armed groups in the autonomous region.
Southern security forces ready to counter any aggression he said.
Mayen said that disarmament campaigns must continue and security forces had been given orders to capture those responsible for the unrest.
Governor Chol Tong, said that police forces lack equipment and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and protection unit need to be given special training.

Criminals are ubiquitously on earth. There is no any single place without its criminals. I am so sorry for that Ethiopian guy who lost his life in Southern Sudan plus those who had serious injuries. I wish they will recover. However, the government of Lake State (Rumbek) needs to lay more buffers of its securities, within its counties in order to halt bloodshed in that State as well as other States in Southern Sudan may work on that in order to avoid carnage in their states too.
