Butchers in Aweil town in Northern Bahr El Ghazal state of South Sudan are protesting a directive from the municipal authorities asking them to reduce meat prices.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n On Tuesday, the town council issued an Order for butchers to reduce the prices of beef and mutton.<\/p>\n Mr. Garang Akec Deng, the leader of the butchers in Aweil town, told journalists that they don\u2019t have any reason to continue working as inflation is biting hard.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are like other business owners in town, and this is not working any longer. The meat of a cow is said by the council to be sold at 1,000 SSP, and we need it to be sold at 3,000 SSP. What can we gain from such a business? he questioned.<\/p>\n Another butcher, Lual Garang Atak, said they have requested the town mayor to rethink their order for them to continue working and call them for a meeting once again.<\/p>\n He added that they are not going to get any benefit if asked to continue working under such directives.<\/p>\n For his part, the Aweil town mayor, Mr. Dut Mou, said on Wednesday that they are going to have another consultation with the butchers so that they reverse their decision.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is going to be another consultation meeting so that they know why they made such a decision. If they say that we are pushing hard against their work, then we will tell them in a meeting next week,\u201d said Dut.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Hou Akot Hou Butchers in Aweil town in Northern Bahr El Ghazal state of South Sudan are protesting a directive from the municipal authorities asking them to reduce meat prices.
