The king of the Azande Kingdom has sent his message of sympathy to the families that had lost their relatives on the hand of the cattle headers commonly known as Ambororo who have occupied some parts of Western Equatoria State specially Ibba and Maridi Counties. His majesty king Atoroba Peni Rikito Gbudue on Tuesday 21st March 2023 in his message of condolences through Anisa Radio said, “my heart goes out to you at this difficult time, you have my deepest sympathy and the Kingdom stands with you to say no, that shouldn’t happen again in the Azande Kingdom”.
The King called on the public to stop trading with the cattle keepers as this keeps them in the areas and their cattle devastate the agricultural land of Western Equatoria.
He urged the state government to work hard to stabilize insecurity to allow the farmers to cultivate as the rainy season has started.
Talking to the youth, King Atoroba advised them to distance themselves from the pastoralist to maintain stability during this rainy season.
A couple of weeks ago, 5 people were killed by cattle keepers in Western Equatoria State, which has created fear among citizens.
The Azande King encouraged people within the Kingdom to prioritize agriculture as it is important in supporting livelihoods through food and building strong economies through trade.
