Army deploys as four killed in inter-communal clashes over fishing villages in Eastern Lakes and Jonglei states

The army is deploying a platoon to reinforce security and diffuse tensions between fishing communities from Eastern Lakes and Jonglei states, over the ownership of two fishing islands.

This follows days of confrontations between the Ciec community of Eastern Lakes and the Ajoung of Jonglei that resulted in two deaths.
Philip Aguer, Jonglei state Governor says the dispute over Chuet-Akuet and Jorwac islands will ultimately be resolved by the Independent Boundaries Commission that was set up the African Union and regional group IGAD.

Aguer says SSPDF forces will in the meantime be stationed on the islands to avert further violence. 

He spoke to Mach Samuel in this interview.
