South Sudanese police have enforced a nighttime curfew following violent protests in the city, Juba which degenerated into looting of Sudanese owned businesses. The curfew which begins at 6:00 p.m. everyday was announced Friday on state television by Police Chief Abraham Manyuat as new rallies erupted in Juba and other cities.
Heavy shooting was reported on Thursday as security personnel attempted to quell the unrest. Protesters destroyed and looted Sudanese owned shops in various districts leading police to fire warning shots to disperse the throng. The protests were started by claims of South Sudanese citizens being slain by Sudan’s Armed Forces (SAF) in Wad Madani, the capital of Sudan’s El Gezira State. AI or graphic videos of the deaths spreading on social media have exacerbated the emotions.
A police spokesperson told Sudanese residents in South Sudan that they would be protected while warning that looting and attacks on their property would not be accepted. The violence reflects rising tensions between the two neighbouring countries as thousands of South Sudanese are still stranded in conflict torn Sudan.
