The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) party over the weekend officially launched an exercise to register its members and issue them with membership cards in Magwi County in Eastern Equatoria State.
Authorities in South Sudan's Eastern Equatoria State last week torched four 50-kilogram sacks containing over 200 kilograms of Bhang and destroyed about 55 cartons of illicit alcohol.
Disabled man kills wife in Magwi
A disabled man identified only as Ohide on Tuesday beat his wife to death in South Sudan’s Magwi County of Eastern Equatoria State.
This week alone, two women across Eastern Equatoria state lost their lives as a result of gender-based violence, the earlier case being in Ikotos County when a soldier punched his wife dead.
David Ocheng Tukwaro, Executive director of Magwi County told Radio Tamazuj yesterday, “A man killed his wife and that man happens to be disabled in one of his hands. He has children with the deceased and unfortunately lost his wife which is a setback to all of us the community of Magwi. The problem was caused by domestic issues that are known best to them, issues that could have been solved through dialogue but that person, because of drunkenness, he beat his wife to death.”
