Gunmen assassinate South Sudan MP in Uganda

Gunmen suspected to be operating in South Sudan last night entered into Yumbe District in Uganda and assassinated Jacob Kuwinsuk Gale, the Member of Parliament for Yei River State Transitional Legislative Assembly

The North Western police spokesperson, Ms Josephine Angucia, told Daily Monitor on Monday morning they spoke to Kuwinsuk’s relatives staying in Uganda and they agreed to bury him in Yumbe over insecurity in his home country.
“He has been buried temporarily in Dongoture village in Kerwa Sub-county in Yumbe District,” Ms Angucia said.
Ms Angucia said they have not arrested anyone yet but investigations are underway.

“The district security team has been meeting to discuss ways of intercepting those carrying illegal guns especially at the Uganda-South Sudan borders,” she said.
There have been reported cases of insecurity in the districts of Moyo, Yumbe and Koboko where armed men enter and kill South Sudanese living in Uganda in what’s believed to be a spill over of the insecurity in Africa’s youngest nation.
