Two children were abducted when an armed group waylaid returnees in Pulturuk Payam of Nyirol County, Jonglei State on Sunday, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Speaking to No. 1 Citizen Daily Newspaper yesterday, James Bol Makuey, the county commissioner, said the victims met their fate while en route to Pulturuk from Malakal where they had arrived recently following the eruption of war in Sudan.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Sunday morning in a place called Mugut, some returnees were attacked on the road which links Upper Nile State to Nyirol. In the incident, two children were abducted while the rest of the people escaped unhurt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The local official condemned the attack and called for peace. He accused elements from a neighboring community of involvement in the attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast week, we had a meeting which brought representatives of Jonglei State and the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) to explore ways of bringing peace. So we called on all youth to abide by peace,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
No group claimed responsibility for this latest attack. However, cattle raids and road ambushes are common among the communities of Jonglei State and GPAA.<\/p>\n
