The Catholic Archbishop of Juba on Thursday cautioned the government to avoid fighting or break up in the country due to land grabbing.
Archbishop Paolino Lukudu Loro said South Sudan Catholic Bishops’ meeting identified land grabbing as a potential risk of violence that the government should address critically before escalation.
Vice President James Wani Igga recommended review of Land Act 2009 to address present experiences including punishing land grabbers.
Cases of land grabbing were highly recorded in Juba, the worst of which was at Kömiru village in Northern Bari Payam in 2012 where several households were butchered by uniformed men.
