 South Sudan says an urgent civilian disarmament is necessary to mitigate inter-communial violence in the country. Spokesperson for South Sudan People's Defense Forces, Lul Kong, said the new army chief, Santino Dengual, had kicked off a disarmament exercise across the country, particularly in the state experiencing tribal conflicts. He said that disarmament would help the nation to get rid of illegal arms in the hands of civilians and added that sub-national violence would also be reduced. The remarks came after seven people were killed on Monday during a cattle-related fighting in Piggy County in Jongle State, eastern South Sudan. Thank you for watching.
