\u00a0Central Equatoria State (CES) has called for peaceful coexistence and mutual respect among cattle traders operating in Mogiri Boma of Mangalla Payam.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The appeal followed a visit of senior state officials to Mogiri cattle market to assess the status of cattle trade in the economic hub.<\/p>\n The government delegation, led by the State Advisor for Peace and Security, Angelo Daya, described Mogiri cattle market as a pivotal site.<\/p>\n Predominantly hosting traders from Greater Pibor Administrative Area, Mogiri cattle market reflects inter-state commerce.<\/p>\n Addressing traders at the market, Daya emphasized the importance of cooperation and respect for the local communities within Central Equatorial State.<\/p>\n “When you come with your cows, notify the relevant authorities in Central Equatoria, particularly in Juba, because your security here is a shared responsibility,” he stated.<\/p>\n Daya\u2019s remarks highlighted the necessity for traders to adhere to established protocols and engage with local authorities to ensure safety and smooth operation of the businesses.<\/p>\n Further reinforcing the state’s message, the state minister underscored the need for unity and solidarity among the cattle traders and local communities.<\/p>\n “Peaceful coexistence among the cattle traders is essential in promoting economic stability,” he asserted, drawing a clear link between harmonious relations within the trading community and the broader economic well-being of the region.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Zakaria Kengen, who spoke on behalf of the cattle traders from the Greater Pibor Administrative Area, expressed gratitude for the state government\u2019s direct engagement and the visit.<\/p>\n Kengen used the opportunity to advocate for enhanced “inter-state collaboration between Central Equatoria and the Greater Pibor Administrative Area to enhance the cattle trade.” \u00a0He suggested that formalized cooperation could lead to a more efficient and less contentious trading environment for all involved.<\/p>\n Cattle trading is cornerstone of South Sudan\u2019s economy and a significant source of livelihood for many communities.<\/p>\n However, the movement of cattle and traders, particularly between different administrative areas, has historically been a flashpoint for tensions and conflicts.<\/p>\n Issues such as cattle raiding, disputes over grazing land, water resources, and perceived lack of respect for local customs or authorities have often escalated into violent clashes.<\/p>\n Mogiri cattle market, specifically, serves as a critical node for cattle originating from the Greater Pibor Administrative Area, making inter-state cooperation and effective management paramount to prevent potential conflicts and foster a conducive trading environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Kei Emmanuel Duku \u00a0Central Equatoria State (CES) has called for peaceful coexistence and mutual respect among cattle traders operating in Mogiri Boma of Mangalla Payam.
