JUBA – A group of armed youth has clashed with military intelligence officers of the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces in the country’s Eastern Equatoria state, according to state authorities.

Eastern Equatoria state police spokesman Major Justin Kleopus Takura is being quoted by Radio Tamazuj confirming the clashes which he said took place on Sunday along Torit-Lafon road.

“We received information that military intelligence soldiers were traveling to Lafon and when they arrived at the junction leading to Oronyo and Oudo, they found four armed people had blocked the road,” Maj. Takuru said.

“When one of the soldiers asked them to put their guns down, one of them started releasing bullets on the ground and when the other one was also getting his gun ready, the soldiers shot one to death and wounded another one now admitted at Torit State Hospital,” he added.

He disclosed that the body of the deceased was taken to the police station but then referred to the hospital for forensic examination while the wounded youth is in stable condition.

“When the body was brought here, we did our investigation and referred it to the hospital. The one who was wounded is in good condition just that he was drunk but the military intelligence personnel had taken him for investigation. The other two, out of the four, ran away,” Maj. Takuru added.

For his part, the commissioner of Torit County, Andrew Philipson, said the armed youth were deployed by their village people to maintain security on the road.

“The Monyomiji (home guards) deployed some youth to monitor the movement around that area. The military was passing through and they wanted to know why the armed youth were in that area and the reply was that this area is dangerous with robbers roaming around. The soldiers tried to disarm them and they resisted leading to the clash. This is what I heard,” he said.

Separately, Radio Tamazuj quoted minister of local government and law enforcement of Eastern Equatoria, Peter Lokeng Lotone, as saying “We need to tell them that we don’t want any blockage on the road. We don’t want anybody to move with a gun or uniform along the road. The road is for the government, the road is for the civilians who can travel the way they want. We were not happy when they clashed when the person died yesterday.”

    “Armed youth clash with intelligence officers in Eastern Equatoria”

    Where is the government of South Sudan to round up the criminals, tossed them into jail and tossed the vermins/parasites into jails, throw the keys away and be done with the low lives. They don’t anything to offer South Sudan progress anyway. *The Didinga/Buya, Taposa, Nyangwara, some Acholis, some Madis and other low lives have been playing games with our country and over our people all the times, but these days. The Muonyjiengs/Jaangs/Dinkas/Jaangs boys and girls have taken back their country and their people.

    The low lives thought they always use our country and our people like *Democratic republic of Congo (D.R.C)*. But the criminals are going to be bombed *to Kingdom come and out of this planet earth*, Reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. Where are those low lives’ these days? They are in hells. Where Mr. Pope Francis (former Argentinian scrounger), queen Elizabeth (her husband), Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, current Rwandan president, Mr. Paul Kagame, former president of South Africa, Mr. Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, and everything that is connected to Indians and some of their low lives, who have attached themselves to our country and over our people to death fools?

    Our Lake Victoria, is what the vermins/parasites are *desperately after*. But the vermins/parasites are going to be *wiped out of this planet*. There will be no vermins/parasites. Uganda is part of the devil infested so-called *Commonwealth country, Kenya is, Rwanda is, South Sudan, never has and will never will under the sun or even in million years; we have informed these low lives to get hell out of South Sudan and take them to Western Australia, North Sudan and hell, because we are going to bomb these vermins/parssites of this planet earth. Reasons. pure HATRED and RACISM..

    We are the Angie Egyptians evils/parasites.
