Both Governors urged communities along the common border to remain calm as the governments of the two states expedite the implementation of the resolutions.

In attendance was the State's Security Advisor, Hon. Angelo Daya.

Joint Security Committee Established to Crack Down on Cross-State Criminality as Rokon Peace Conference Yields Key Resolutions

Mundri West – A technical committee dedicated to communication and security coordination has been established to address criminal activities involving armed elements from Central and Western Equatoria states, following resolutions passed during the broader Rokon peace conference.

The conference, which focused on strengthening dialogue, reconciliation, and long-term stability, has led to concrete measures aimed at ending cross-border raids and cattle theft that have long fueled inter-communal violence.

This was confirmed to Amadi FM by the Commissioner of Mundri West County, Hon. Zillipha Dawa Justin, shortly upon her return from Rokon Payam. She disclosed that a joint committee held a two-day consultative meeting in Rokon Payam, Juba County, bringing together community leaders, security actors, and local authorities from both states.

According to Hon. Dawa, the dialogue resulted in several key resolutions, most notably the immediate return of stolen cattle to their rightful owners from both sides of the border.

"The people must know that peace is not just the absence of guns, it is justice returned and trust rebuilt," Hon. Dawa said.

She added that a security and communication committee has now been formally established to monitor movements, share real-time intelligence, and facilitate the swift apprehension of criminals.

"Perpetrators must be apprehended promptly by law enforcement agencies and brought to the book. There will be no more hiding for those who choose violence over dialogue," she warned.

Hon. Dawa further called upon the greater Mundri communities to step up and report any cattle hidden within their areas. She reminded citizens that the government is actively implementing the 2020 presidential decree issued by the President of the Republic of South Sudan, which clearly states that all cattle keepers must return to their places of origin.

"I urge every citizen: report any cattle that do not belong to your area. The decree of 2020 is not a suggestion—it is the law. All cattle keepers must return to their place of origin," she emphasized.

The resolutions from Rokon are being hailed as a major step toward dismantling cycles of revenge and creating a foundation for lasting stability between the two Equatorias.

PEACE EFFORTS INTENSIFY IN MUNDRI WEST AS COMMISSIONER APPEALS FOR CALM

Mundri West County – As tensions simmer between the Muro communities and Mundari cattle keepers, local authorities are doubling down on efforts to restore peace, security, and freedom of movement in the area.

On April 27, 2026, Mundri West County Commissioner Zilipher Dawa issued a passionate appeal to the people of Mundri: do not take the law into your own hands.

While acknowledging the frustrations of local communities, the Commissioner urged restraint against the Mundari cattle keepers who are lawfully conducting business in the town. Instead, she called on residents to report any threats and allow the government to handle security matters through proper channels.

“We are not working alone,” said Commissioner Dawa. “We are working jointly with the State Government and the Government of Central Equatoria to uncover those behind the recent killings.”

Authorities are currently investigating the root causes of the violence, seeking to understand how interventions interact with conflict contexts in order to minimize harm and maximize positive impact.

In a bold move toward reconciliation, the Commissioner announced that a joint government team is heading to Rokon to ensure that all communities, regardless of ethnic background, can open their shops and go about their business without fear.

To those fueling the violence with illegal fi****ms, Commissioner Dawa delivered a stern but hopeful message:

“Put down your guns. Return to your places of origin if necessary. Let our people embark on agriculture and rebuild their lives.”

The ultimate goal, she emphasized, is a return to lasting peace, community resilience, and the freedom to move, trade, and farm without threat.

Updates to follow as the government moves forward with investigations and peacebuilding efforts in Mundri West and beyond.

Crisis in Mundri as Mundari Herders Intensify Attacks, Civilians Flee – State Government is mute.

MUNDRI WEST COUNTY – A deadly communal conflict that began between Mundari cattle herders and the Moru community of Minga in Mundri East County has now spread alarmingly to Mundri West County, triggering a wave of violence, civilian deaths, and mass displacement.

Over the past several days, the situation has deteriorated sharply, with Mundari herders accused of targeting unarmed civilians. On Wednesday, 22nd April, the herders pushed their offensive through Bari Boma under Kotobi Payamm in Mundri West County. At least over ten civilians have been confirmed killed as an update from our sources this afternoon since the conflict expanded westward.

According to local sources, yesterday and today saw hundreds of terrified residents, mostly women and children fleeing Bari Boma for safety in Mundri town. Many remain homeless, traumatized, and in urgent need of shelter, food, and medical aid.

Alleged scorched-earth tactics

Witnesses allege that the Mundari cattle herders are employing scorched-earth strategies, burning homes, looting property, and destroying crops, in an apparent bid to forcibly displace or eliminate the civilian population from contested areas.

The current spiral of violence follows an earlier incident on the Bangolo road, where two Mundari herders were killed by unknown gunmen who fled the scene. Community sources claim the attackers are believed to be from the affected communities, though no group has formally claimed responsibility.

Roads cut off, government silent

The violence has also made roads between Mundri West and Jambo in Mundri East increasingly impassable, cutting off access to markets, healthcare, and humanitarian assistance.

Despite the growing death toll and displacement, the government of Western Equatoria State has remained conspicuously silent. No official statements have been issued, nor have any visible steps been taken to de-escalate the violence, deploy security forces, or mediate between the warring groups.

A strong appeal to the state government

The affected communities issues a powerful and urgent appeal to the Governor and authorities of Western Equatoria State:

Do not remain silent while civilians are being slaughtered. The absence of leadership in the face of bloodshed is itself a failure of duty. You must act now, deploy state security forces immediately to Bari Boma and other affected areas, restore calm, protect displaced families, and initiate dialogue between the Mundari and Moru communities. Every hour of inaction costs more innocent lives.

National context, local emergency

South Sudan is already reeling from multiple conflicts in Jonglei, Upper Nile, and parts of Unity State. But that cannot justify neglect in Western Equatoria. The violence in Mundri risks spiraling into a wider inter-communal war if the state government continues to look away.

The people of Mundri West and East are crying out for protection. Women and children sheltering in Mundri town cannot return home until the government guarantees their safety. The time for statements and action is now.

High-Level Delegation Assesses Recovery Efforts and Security in Rokon Payam

A high-level delegation from the Central Equatoria State Government visited Rokon Payam to assess the progress of livestock recovery and evaluate the overall security situation following recent inter-communal tensions.

The delegation was led by the State Security Advisor, Mr. Angelo Daya, and included the Minister of Peace Building, Mr. Jacob Gore, and the Commissioner of Terekeka County, Dr. Emmanuel Loku.

The officials confirmed that the security situation in the area is currently stable. Following this assessment, the delegation proceeded to a cattle camp to inspect livestock recovered from the Mundari community. The animals have been confirmed as the property of members of the Muru community.

To date, recovery operations have secured twelve (12) cows. Operations are ongoing, as this figure does not represent the total number of cattle reportedly taken.

The government reiterates its unwavering commitment to full accountability. Individuals responsible for the loss of life during the conflict will be apprehended and brought to justice.

This administration's paramount objectives remain the fostering of lasting peace and unity between communities and the guarantee of security for all citizens. We urge the continued cooperation of all parties as we work collectively toward these essential goals.
