Governor Aleu made the pledge during a meeting with President Salva Kiir Mayardit at the state-house J1 where he briefed the South Sudanese head of state of the developments including the Greater Tony Community peace initiative.
During the meeting which was also attended by presidential affairs minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin, Aleu said the civil population has surrendered around 5000 firearms and he expects to collects all the guns in civilians hand by July.
“The Governor briefed H.E. the President on the political and security situation in Warrap State, and also he presented to H.E. the President, the final report of Greater Tonj Community Peace Conference, on behalf of the leadership of Greater Tonj High-Level Peace Committee,” the presidency said in a statement.
Aleu said that he “informed H.E. President Salva Kiir Mayardit that the people of Tonj have voluntarily collected more than 5,000 arms, and he expects that by the end of July, his State Government would have collected all the arms in Warrap State.”
The top state government official further said he also “informed the president that the situation between Twic and Dinka Ngok is now calm and normal, mentioning that he has talked to the people of Twic Community and they promised to respect the cessation of hostility agreement that they have signed with Dinka Ngok.”
Yes, 5000 guns have been collected from civilians in Tonj communities but does governor Aleu Ayieny Aleu explain fully in detail on how the disarmament exercises were done in which way? There are racial and nepotism in Tonj North county disarmament, his own community Noi Ayii Kuot community have brought last than 20 guns while others communities have been forcefully disarmed and the SSPDF soldiers took 600 guns in some community and others 1000 guns have been taken by forcefully mean.
General Akol Koor has warning governor Aleu Ayieny Aleu not to disarmed his community of Atok Buk Alok. Two days, the Chief of Juer Maluil community in Lou Mawien was waylaid ambushed by unknown gunmen within his community. The disarmament of Tonj North county have been done wrong way because the two communities of general Akol Koor Kuc and Aleu Ayieny himself have not fully disarmed and the President need to know that.
