Lakes state imposes dawn to dusk curfew to stop violence

By Manyang Mayom

May 4, 2011 (RUMBEK) – The government of Lakes state has declared an 11 hour nightlycurfew within Rumbek Central County after inter-communal clashes killed 10 civilians and one policeman last month.

Lakes state’s acting governor Daniel Ayual Makoi, in written statement – circular No.1/2011 – affirmed that from 7pm to 6am no unauthorized person will be allowed to be on the street until further notice.

The document did not make it clear how many days are set for curfew.

The deputy governor, who also served in Lakes state government as minister of education, said that the reason of having imposed curfew is due to inter-communal fight between five counties of Lakes state. The counties that involved in fighting are Rumbek North against Cueibet, and Cueibet against Rumbek Central County, as well as internal fighting within Rumbek East County.

Ayual justified his decision by saying that people were hunting down others to take revenge for previous clashes.

He also warned people who are alleged to have been hiding those suspected of killing innocent people in the clashes across the five counties of Lakes state.

“I warned those officials and civilians who are involved in hiding suspected people in their houses to surrender such most wanted man by all main to government security agency”, he said.

The state government has instructed all security organs to patrol at night to enforce the curfew. Ayual urged the public to cooperate with the forces patrolling the night time curfew.

    Mr Truthteller,

    How can you know, yet you were palling around with Arabs in Khartoum cleaning their feets, licking their asses and above all feed on their leftovers.Let those who were at the frontline talk instead of you.

    I think curfew is not enough for the people of Lakes State.Disarment is what i recommanded for them.

    The causetive are the people of Rumbek North & Rumbek Centre Counties.They killed alot of people from Cueibet & raided 9000 herd of cattle.The same time,they killed 5 women from the cattle camp under Cueibet county at night and state g,vt failed to take an action for this killing.

    Shame on Lakes state g,vt & Agar community for killing their own brothers.

    How about Bin Laden’s Death, aren’t you mourning for him or what? Why sniffing around for things that don’t concern you, while abandoning sad news that are rellevant to your world of terrorist also known as Jihadhists.

    Dr cholera,
    let us take cares for the life of our people,dinka is like us, but we dont wants them to kill.

    They are kings of killers, all their tribe soon will vanish just dinka kill dinka,not only that any crime in sudan or in this world is dinkas.

    I am not happy for their death,and let us not follow that eg for killing our own people.

    What they did at manvolo and still they are killing people of WESTERN EQUATORIA ROR NOTHING. WE HAVE TO FOR GIVE THEM.

    Rubin,

    Not a very intelligent way to avoid answering my question!

    But I will answer your question! No I am not mourning and that does not affect me or concern me in any way.You are a victim of propoganda and useless news and events.

    I am not sniffing around , but I wonder why you are accusing us for whatever happens in the south.You have your own country , just leave us alone!is that too much!
