🔴 BREAKING: Akobo Anyuak Community Rejects New Administrative Units

Tensions are rising in Akobo County, Jonglei State, after the Anyuak community rejected Governor Riek G*i Kok’s decision to create 17 new payams.

Community leaders say the move was made without consultation and claim it favours the Mor Lou Nuer while marginalizing the Anyuak.

Paramount Chief Philip Omot Jook condemned the order, saying it ignores service delivery in existing areas and deepens divisions.

> “Our ancestral lands are being restructured without our consent,” said youth leader Lily Okongo, warning that the decision could spark new tensions.

Civil society activist Bol Deng Bol of INTREPID South Sudan called for dialogue and inclusion, stressing that unilateral decisions could provoke inter-communal violence.

The governor’s office has yet to respond to the community’s claims.
