Angry youth beat up 2 humanitarian workers in Torit over jobs
Some angry youth from the Monyiemiji Forum beat up two humanitarian workers in Torit following a meeting with the Eastern Equatoria State government and the head of NGOs over employment.
Last month, the Monyiemiji Forum, composed of youth from Torit, Ikotos, and Lopit in Lafon County petitioned the government demanding just employment in the NGOs sector. This prompted the state government to form a committee to find a solution to the complaints.
The Mayor of Torit municipal council, Joseph Aye Joseph Oswaha, told Radio Tamazuj that the youth beat the two aid workers after the meeting held at Torit SPLM secretariat hall on Wednesday.

G4S Global, a company contracted by the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) has suspended activities along the Torit-Lafon road in Eastern Equatoria State due to insecurity in the area.
Earlier this month, vehicles belonging to G4S Global came under attack along the Oudo-Loronyo-Longiro road by a group of gunmen who looted all their food and assaulted the workers.
This prompted Rwandan peacekeepers from the UNMISS Torit field office to come to their rescue and evacuate 20 workers from the Longiro area where they were based.
