Three women abducted from Pibor County were released by Lou-Nuer Jacob Achiek Jok The director for community policing and small arms control aguti Adut Aguti traced out three women who were abducted in Pibor county during the retaliated attack which resulted to the displacement of 80,000 people in Bior county, Gumuruk and Likuangolei. Aguti said he identified the women from Ayod and Akobo counties by their names. “women and two children, allegedly abducted from Pibor County in Jonglei state in an offensive by an armed Lou Nuer ethnic during the retaliated attack in December and January, have been recovered and will be retuned to their families very soon,” the director for community policing and Small arms control Aguti Adut Aguti told New times The state minister for social development and social welfare Ogato Cham is happy about the work done by the security forces in the state, Cham said he is ready to provided food services to them before they are repaired back to their villages. Their release was a heavy take between counties commissioner and the abductees together with security personnel. “Two of the women and their children were suddenly abducted in January during the Luo Nuer’s revenge attack against the Murle. The third woman released had been kidnapped in 2009, according to officials and victims accounts.” Adut said. The UNMIS is ready to offer them a flight in coming week so that they can un it with their relatives in Pibor county. The county commissioner of Pibor county Joshua Konyi is appreciating the state authorities for the release of the three women with their two children. The UNMIS will only transport back the indentified people and leave two children whose their parents are not yet known in Bor town. One of the child under 5 years was said to be from Anyuak is now waiting for her mother in Pochalla county and the other ones from Murle have not identified by their relatives. One the demands Luo Nuer made when they attacked Pibor County, the home of the Murle, was that the groups return kidnapped women and children from previous raids. The five are just a fraction of hundreds of women and children abducted in tribal conflicts in Jonglei state, which suffers from chronic under development and lack of infrastructure. The Lou Nuer, Murle and Dinka Bor often engage in cattle rustling in Jonglei state but the situation has been aggravated by weapons leftover during the Sudanese civil war, which lasted two decades until a 2005 peace deal Jonglei state director for community security, Aguti Adut, said the women and their children were identified last week in Ayod and Akobo counties, and we are going to trace out some people from Pibor county after this women. “We are moving to Pibor next week to carryout the survey there as well and if we get some children and women who are not Murle, we shall take them to their relatives,” Adut said today claiming that the Jonglei’s government was supporting community based groups working with both communities in the state. Sira John, who said she was taken from Pibor on 1 January with her boy said she learnt a lesson to tell to her relatives in Pibor. “God helped me and I am going to ask my people in Pibor county to release children belonging to other tribes,” Sira as she tried to hold back her tears.
