South Sudan’s capital city Juba has witnessed since Monday morning crowds of people at bus stations waiting for public transports, some of which stopped working due to rise in price of fuel amid calls for the government to intervene to solve the problem.

A number of citizens who spoke to Radio Tamazuj said they were waiting for long time at the bus station before returning to their homes after the public transports stopped working.

They said the price of one litre of fuel has risen to 32 SSP from 22 SSP which led the owner of buses to stop working.

The citizens called on the government to intervene to find solution of the suffering of the people which has worsened following the crisis in the public transportation.
