JUBA, JANUARY 27th 2023 (SUDANS POST) – At least two people have been killed after communal violence broke out inside the Juba IDPs camp, several people inside the camp told Sudans Post this afternoon.

A source says that the violence between two community sections within the camp started as a quarrel between young men on Tuesday evening and turned into violence on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon resulting in the killing of two people.

“There was a quarrel between young men within the camp on Tuesday evening and this  developed into clashes between certain sections that I will not name on Wednesday and on Thursday and two people were killed as a result,” the source said.

He said that calm has returned to the camp as police deployed to prevent further outbreak of violence within the densely populated camp.

“No since join police deployed inside the camp, the situation is calm and people are going on with their normal activities. This is because the police have deployed, otherwise things would have escalated further now,” he added.

Thousands of ethnic Nuer civilians have been living in the Juba camp since outbreak of war in December 2013 in which thousands of civilians were targeted by the army sparking what would become one of the deadliest civil wars in Africa.

A peace agreement was signed in September 2018 by President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his main rival and now first deputy Dr. Riek Machar Teny in an attempt to normalize the situation in Africa’s youngest nation, but fears have continued to undermine IDPs’ return.

Hundreds of IDPs say that most of their homes are still being occupied by powerful people and as such cannot return, at least for now, to their homes.
