With continued incidences of violence and killings on Ugandans with in South Sudan, the leadership of traders operating in South Sudan has seeked for government’s considerations into a ban on Ugandans from traveling to South Sudan.
According to the traders under their umbrella body, the Joint Action for Redemption of Ugandan Traders in Sudan, an association that units Ugandans operating in South Sudan, lament that regardless of co current endeavors to reach the Ugandan minister of trade, Amelia Kyambadde, their efforts remain fruitless.
According to Rashid Manafa, the association’s chairperson, they want to meet the government and tell them why South Sudanese hate Ugandans and also pronounce to them the reason behind the continued killing of Ugandan traders.
He also asked Government to issue a ban on Ugandans from traveling to South Sudan because as the association, they have tried to talk to Ugandans who have refused to heed to their advice because there are jobless.
The Acting Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affair, Arthur Kafeero says government of Uganda is still in talks with the government of South Sudan to ensure safety of Ugandans and their goods pledging that the issue will be resolved soon.
Additionally, last week, the government of Uganda issued a travel advisory urging all Ugandans traders to exercise caution while trading in South Sudan as the talks continue.
