Western Equatoria and DR Congo officials held a security meeting to strengthen boarder security and check the movement of Ugandan rebels.
A delegation of Western Equatoria including security organs and government officials visited Ezo County to assess the recent Lord’s Resistance Army or LRA attack in the area.
Deputy Governor Sapan Abui told Anisa Radio that the delegating conducted an inter-government security meeting with Congolese security organs at the boarder to control the notorious LRA movements.
He stated that from the intensive assessment and security monitoring teams in Western Equatoria it was concluded that there were no LRA forces within the territory of South Sudan.
The assessment team reported that a group of five LRA rebels who appeared in Namutina, Nagero County, returned to Central African Republic and the six rebels that attacked Ezo County also returned to DR Congo.
Deputy Governor Abui warned citizens against spreading unreliable information that spread panic and displaced people.
He urged displaced people to return to their respective places as security organs are on the ground to protect residents.
The Deputy Governor urged the public to immediately report any LRA suspect movements in the area to security organs, Arrow Boys and headmen.
