‼️BREAKING: Lakes Caretaker Governor travels from Juba to Rumbek to address clan violence.
Lakes Caretaker Governor Brig. Gen. Rin Tueny Mabor departed for Rumbek from Juba on Saturday after this new eruption of inter-clan fighting in the state capital.
Authorities informed from Rumbek state that fighting was ongoing and security was sent to the area to bring the situation under control. The new fighting has now also left authorities unable to release firm figures on the number of casualties, if any.
Apparently Tuenys relocation to Rumbek follows his statement regarding the need for his administration to ensure security and promote peace in Lakes ahead of the elections scheduled in December this year as ordered by President Salva Kiir.
