At least three people were shot and wounded in a revenge attack in the Rumbek Central County area over the weekend, according to local authorities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Lakes State Police Spokesman Major Elijah Mabor Makuac told No. 1 Citizen Daily Newspaper on Monday that the overall security situation in Lakes State remains calm and normal, with only two incidents reported over the weekend.<\/p>\n Mabor explained that around 5:30 AM on Saturday, fighting broke out between sub-clans of Rumbek North, leading to the injuries of two brothers, identified as Malaat Puoric Anyuon and Chol Puoric Anyuon.<\/p>\n The two brothers are from the clan of Executive Chief Mabor Dhieu.<\/p>\n “The fighting was a result of a revenge attack over someone who was killed during inter-clan clashes a long time ago,” Mabor said. “The two sub-clans met in Thou-bor village, and the clashes erupted again.”<\/p>\n The two injured brothers were evacuated to Rumbek State Hospital, where they are currently receiving treatment. The suspects have fled, but security forces are still pursuing them for investigation.<\/p>\n In another incident on the same day, July 18th, a gunman shot and wounded someone identified as Marial of Machir, who is under the authority of Executive Chief Mabor Dhieu. The shooting was also an act of revenge for a previous incident.<\/p>\n “The suspect ran away, and the security situation remains calm,” Mabor said. “The security forces are still pursuing the perpetrator for arrest and investigation.”<\/p>\n Mabor urged the local community in Lakes State to refrain from taking the law into their own hands through revenge attacks, as this leads to a never-ending cycle of violence.<\/p>\n He called on the community to cooperate with security forces to apprehend criminals and have them face the due process of the law.<\/p>\n Dr. Terran Madit Terran, who confirmed that Rumbek State Hospital received the gunshot victims, said the patients sustained different types of injuries, including a gunshot wound to the limbs and another to the mouth.<\/p>\n He added that one patient with a serious abdominal wound was referred to Juba for further treatment.<\/p>\n Overall, the hospital was able to stabilize the patients, and they are currently receiving medication and care.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Yang Ater Yang At least three people were shot and wounded in a revenge attack in the Rumbek Central County area over the weekend, according to local authorities.
