A South Sudan civil society watchdog has condemned unfolding political unrest in Western Equatoria State after a group armed men attacked the residence of a senior SPLA-IO commander in Yambio in which one of his bodyguards was wounded.
On Thursday, an armed group identifying itself as People Defenders’ Front (PDF) attacked the house of the SPLA-IO commander of division 9B in Yambio and clashed with his bodyguards, leaving one of the bodyguards wounded.
In a statement to Sudans Post, the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO) condemned the developing situation and urged the political leaders in the restive state to resolve their political grievances through peaceful mean.
“CEPO strongly condemns the recent negative political development in Yambio following the recent political frictions among the political leaders. We are witnessing disturbing and worrying negative developments around Yambio in some parts,” CEPO said in a statement signed by its Executive Director Edmund Yakani.
