August 15, 2016 (JUBA) – One person was killed and four others injures when unidentified gunmen ambushed a vehicle along Torit-Kapoeta road, officials said Monday.
The incident reportedly took place at Okuma Mafi in Hiyala payam of Torit county in South Sudan's Eastern Equatoria state on Sunday.
The state information minister, Josephine Nakuru said those ambushed were national security personal traveling from Torit to Kapoeta county of Eastern Equatoria state.
“The aim of this people were to make sure they got these boys in hand or get the ammunition and the vehicles that these boys were using,” said Nakuru.
One of the security operative, she added, escaped with injuries and was brought at Kapoeta hospital for treatment.
The minister condemned the attacks that frequently occur along the Torit-Kapoeta road, urging bandits to halt the act. Daniel Jino, a trader in Kapoeta, said security in the area mainly worsened after the state was split into two provinces.
He called on neighbouring communities to put aside their differences and work to improve the insecurity that innocent civilians often face on major roads leading to the capital.
"Security in the state was under full control during [Governor Louis] Lobong's time, but am very worried about what is happening now. Things are now running out of hand", said Jino.

August 15, 2016 (KHARTOUM) - Sudan's National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) on Monday has seized print runs of Al-Saiha, Al-Mijher Al-Siyasi and Al-Ahram Al-Youm newspapers from the printing house without giving reasons.
The confiscations come one day after the National Council for Press and Publications (NCPP) indefinitely suspended four newspapers including Al-Watan, Awal Al-Nahar, Elaph and Al-Mustaqilla for administrative reasons.
In a press release on Monday, the Sudanese non-governmental Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) network said the NISS imposes both pre-print and after-print censorship on newspapers, pointing it verbally instructed papers not to publish news reports pertaining to rebel groups.
Several newspapers have published interviews with rebel leaders during the recent round of peace talks between the government and armed groups that has ended on Sunday in Addis Ababa.
NISS has recently intensified its crackdown on the newspapers and confiscated copies of Al-Taghyeer, Al-Youm Al-Tali and Al-Saiha newspapers several times.
Last week, Al-Taghyeer newspaper decided to suspend publishing and started to lay off its staff following the large financial loss it incurred due to repeated confiscations.
The NISS routinely confiscates newspapers either to prevent circulation of certain stories or to punish them retroactively on previous issues.
It uses seizures of print copies of newspapers, not only to censor the media but also to weaken them economically.
It accuses the newspapers of crossing the red lines through publishing reports which adversely impact the national security.
Sudan's constitution guarantees freedom of expression but laws subordinate to the constitution such as the National Security Forces Act of 2010 contains articles that can be potentially used to curtail press freedom and instigate legal proceedings against newspapers and individual journalists.
