A Khartoum-based South Sudanese activist said, according to the Eye Radio, that the immigrants are between the age of 15-35 and boarded boats heading towards Italy before the board capsized killing the fifty South Sudanese immigrants.
“They boarded a boat at Libyan coast; however their boat drowned in sea. About 50 South Sudanese have died and 280 are receiving treatment in Italian hospitals”, Achol Malong said on Saturday from the Sudanese capital Khartoum.
The South Sudanese activist further said the deceased are part of 1,350 South Sudanese immigrants who crossed to Europe last week and said 285 of those who crossed successfully are currently receiving treatment at an Italian hospital in Sicily.

It’s not true that there are south Sudanese there it’s always Sudanese only don’t try to spoil our name that’s not how we south Sudanese enter to European countries but Sudan want to include us for his shameful big population of Sudanese dying every month it’s not good to include south Sudanese if we go back to real statistics now you will realize there’s no even one south Sudanese please leave us alone we are not running anymore from our country the report that was made in Sudan is because the sudan government is ashamed for what’s happening with their youth so she have to include south sudan to show the world that he is not the only country
I’m doubting the 50 are not South Sudanese, from which State díd such big number of youth departed whíle we don’t have border with Libya it’s false can anyone provide South Sudan with list of victims bearing their names
