South Sudan cabinet has assigned the country’s Vice President James Wani Igga to lead a government delegation to Upper Nile to solve a border dispute between Maban and Melut counties.

Inter-communal clashes were reported at Kilo 10 area between Mabanese and Dinka youths at a border between Melut and Maban counties earlier this month.

South Sudan’s Minister of Information Michael Makuei told reporters after the cabinet meeting on Friday that the government had decided to dispatch a high-level delegation led by James Wani Igga to find out the facts and resolve the border dispute between Maban and Melut at Kilo 10 area.

“The committee that will be headed by Dr. James Wani Igga will be set up by H.E the president so that they move to the area as soon as possible,” said Makuei.
