JUBA, FEBRUARY 9th 2023 (SUDANS POST) – South Sudan’s vice-president for economic cluster James Wani Igga on Tuesday claimed that Jonglei State cattle herders who attacked villages in Lire Payam of Kajo-keji County are witches who he said are against President Salva Kiir and his government.

Wani who travelled to Kajo-keji on Tuesday was speaking to a crowd of people and condemned land-related conflicts in the world’s youngest country, something he said the ruling party did not expect following the liberation of the country.

“The first reason we went into the bush to fight was this land. God did not forget anyone but gave them all a land. He gave the Americans, the Germans, the Tanzanians their land, and here in South Sudan, he gave the Zande, the Nuer, the Dinka, the Kuku, and everyone their land,” Wani said.

“This country was given to us all, but when we got independence, some people come to Wani’s house, and say, ‘get out of this house, Wani, it is now mine’. This is not right or liberation, but destruction,” the vice president lamented.

The senior government official further attacked the suspected herders by referring to them as witches who are for destabilization of the Kuku people’s land of Kajo-keji because they are against the government of President Salva Kiir Mayardit.

“Most of these people are witches and came to destabilize the Koko people of Kajo-keji and they are for regime change because they do not like President Salva Kiir. They are people who don’t want peace and that’s why the do these acts now,” he said.
