BOR, SOUTH SUDAN - Civil society activists and residents in the capital of South Sudan s Jonglei state have accused state officials of stealing food donated by President Salva Kiir that was meant for flood victims.
The president donated 12 truckloads of food to victims of last year s massive floods while visiting Bor on April 1.
David Garang Goch, chairperson of the Jonglei State Civil Society Network, said he saw some of the food being offloaded from a truck straight into shops at Bor s Marol Market this week.
