5 fishermen killed in Maban County attack
Five fishermen were on Friday killed in Fiam Dangji in Maban County of Upper Nile State by elements belonging to the SPLA-IO, according to a local official.
The Executive Director of Maban County Moamen Khadr told Radio Tamazuj on Sunday that authorities rushed to the scene of the accident, retrieved three bodies, and took them to the local hospital.
“This incident happened on Friday at 4 pm in Dangji. Soldiers of SPLA-IO came to a village and found youth from the village fishing in the water. So the soldiers removed them from the water and put them down. The soldiers then asked them what force they belonged to and the youth said they do not belong to any force and that they are civilians. Then they shot them dead. It was a very bad thing,” Moamen said.
