We don\u2019t know why the deceased took such a decision,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n According to Ngong, Garang had travelled from Maduany to Rum-tiit, where her mother lives and has a farm. After her mother left for the market, Abuk took her own life, despite no apparent conflicts or quarrels with anyone.<\/p>\n Ngong said parents to be vigilant with their daughters, urging them not to marry off young girls before they are mature enough to handle household responsibilities.<\/p>\n Mr. Deng Nyon, Administrator of War-laac Boma, called for a collaborative effort to support the orphaned newborn.<\/p>\n He appealed to the government and aid agencies to offer assistance, noting that the baby was taken back to the hospital for care.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Hou Akot Hou A 20-year-old lactating woman took her own life on Monday in War-lac village, Maduany Payam, Aweil West County, Northern Bahr El Gazal State.
