An Ethiopian trader was shot and killed and several other people were critically injured in two separate incidents near the eastern gate of the Juba Protection of Civilian site 3, according to multiple eyewitnesses. The attacks were conducted by unidentified gunmen.
Sources say the armed men shot at two Ethiopian traders who were selling bread at the United Nations site Tuesday morning. One of the traders later died from his injuries, while the other is still being treated.
In a separate incident, at least one person living in the site was injured when unidentified gunmen opened fire on a group of youth.
The Community Chairman of the Protection of Civilians Site John Makuey says the injured man was identified as Bichuy Biel Dieng. He was shot in the leg.
Protection Site Youth Chairman Majok Yien says people living in the site are no longer moving in and out because they are afraid of getting shot.
