The communities of Twic East and Duk counties in South Sudan’s Jonglei State have agreed to end hostilities linked to fishing islands, Radio Tamazuj reports. Violence over their control has killed people and displaced thousands since 2023.
Consultations between the two communities lasted three days and ended on Thursday. The committees in charge of the process submitted their reports on Friday evening to Jonglei’s acting governor, Moses Majok Gatluak. Repeated clashes have still been reported in recent weeks, despite previous government peace initiatives.
