BOR – A youth association in Bor has formally petitioned the governor of Jonglei State, requesting the relocation of wildlife enforcement units from the town to the Ajah-Ger area and a change in their operational strategies, citing rising tensions.

In the petition dated April 2, 2025, the Bor Community Youth Association (BCYA) highlighted increasing friction between local youth and wildlife authorities due to the frequent pursuit and apprehension of hunters within Bor town.

Ngong Beer Ngong Ajak, the BCYA chairperson, argued in the document that the current approach was leading to unnecessary conflicts and disturbances within Jonglei state capital.

He suggested that relocating the wildlife forces to forested areas like Ajah-Ger, where illegal hunting is more likely, would be more effective and less disruptive.

“Instead of chasing hunters in town, we request that Wildlife forces focus on catching illegal hunters within the forests,” Ngong said in the petition. “This approach is more effective and will prevent unnecessary disruptions within the town.”

The BCYA also called on the government to consider the difficult socioeconomic conditions faced by Bor Town residents when enforcing wildlife protection measures.

They suggested the Wildlife Department should assess living conditions before implementing stringent measures impacting livelihoods.

“We appeal for the implementation of our request to prevent further tensions and promote peace and stability in Bor County,” Ngong added.

Major General David Deng Adol, director for wildlife services in Jonglei state, said the government was working to relocate its forces to areas further from the town, such as Ajah-Ger.

“We are working in relocating the forces from the town to far areas like Ajah-Ger, and the reasons for these relocation to Ajah-Ger is aiming in protection on the road from Bor town to Pibor and the protection of the animals migration in those areas,” Adol said.

Adol did not specify a date or time for the relocation, adding that communities were still working on the specific location for their settlement.
