Two girls aged about 10-13 were abducted on Thursday morning in Pochalla North County of South Sudan’s Boma State in Nyoum area, according to parents of the abducted children.
Two tribesmen believed to be from Murle tribe abducted the children while they were going to help their grandmother in the farm.
The armed men reportedly stabbed the old woman when she refused to release the two girls. The old woman who was left between life and death reported the incident later after the armed men went along with the two girls.
Boma State’s government has not yet taken any process to recover the abducted the girls.
This is the second such incident in one month. On 7 November three children were abducted.
Residents from Pochalla North County are urging governor Baba Medan to recover the abducted girls.
“We call upon the government of Boma State to recover these children and bring the abductors to book,” one resident who refused to be named said.
