Hungry SPLA soldiers in Juba have stolen food items from one of the traders in Juba’s biggest market of Konyo Konyo, an eyewitness said. The incident which occurred on Wednesday caused many traders to close their shops to avoid theft.
A group of SPLA soldiers on board a military Land Cruiser entered one shops that sell food items and started asking prices of food items which they later loaded onto their vehicle, but when the shop owner asked them for payment, they asked him to go the President Salva Kiir to claim his money.
The soldiers went away with the stolen food items, citing that they have not received their salaries for months.
