Hundreds of displaced people mostly women and children in Ngauro County of Namunrunyang State; have plead for humanitarian aid assistance following the looting of their properties last month as a result of the recent attack in Chuhudum town of Budi County.

The assault on Chuhudum which is also the capital of Budi County started on 7^th October 2016 and lasted for Nine (9) days until 15^th of the same month. The attack on the town was carried out by armed elements whose agenda remain anonymous to Namunrunyan State Authorities.

The outbreak of this violent attack against unarmed populace has ignited the voluntary mass relocation of a number of the town’s inhabitants to their current resettlement in Ngauru County. Ngauro County Commissioner Hon. Daniel Naroi has expressed remorse over the ordeal of the displaced inhabitants of Chuhudum as he describes the scene of the incident …

“They began to loot Chuhudum town shooting people, there was a random shooting and random killing, they killed about twenty eight people in Chuhudum and looted everything”

Mr. Taban is one of the displaced people who fled the conflict in Chuhudum; he said after leaving the town, there was total confusion amongst the people with some disappearing in the bushes, and others running as far as Kakuma in Kenya while a few found a shot cut to safety in Ngauro County. Mr. Taban went on to say the say those ended up in Ngauro are in total disadvantage as they lack the most basic human needs …

“They don’t have food; they don’t have food shelters, no medicine and not stay for them.”

Some of the IDPs unlike Taban prefer staying in Ngauro County rather than returning to Chuhudum as they expressed their bitterness towards the looting and killings that have taken place back home in Chuhudum. Miss Nakang is one such IDP who is much reluctant to return home …

“If I go home now what will I get, nothing has been left at home. I will better stay here”.

Regarding the IPDs safety in Ngauro, the County Commissioner said they are safe and secure and that some of them have voluntarily offered to return to their respective area of origin, meanwhile others have decided to stay in their new settlements and get integrated into the local goal mines in the area.
