Armed robbers raided six families at gunpoint early Sunday morning in Juba’s Hai Jebel neighborhood and stole an unknown amount of money and cell phones.
Eyewitnesses report the criminals were armed with guns and knives and they worry they were part of a gang that has been going house-to-house in the neighborhood beating and threatening residents. No bullets were fired, though.
One eyewitness reported a robber saying, “We want money, because we are soldiers and we get our salaries from you.”
