The deployed forces in various parts of defunct Tonj State resulted to reduction of communal violence in the region, according to Secretary-General Gabriel Awan Makuoc.
He explained that troops are also dispatched to former counties of Wanh-Alel Manyang-ngok and Yar.
Awan admitted that gunmen went to former Ngap-agok County and killed one person, but were caught the same day by forces patrolling the area.
The communal conflict that began early this year resulted to burning of houses, raiding of cattle and revenge killing.
The official spoke to Don Bosco Radio after his arrival from Tonj East
