For years, the community of Bor's which make the current Jonglei State accused their neighbors of kidnapping their children and being responsible for other atrocities and cattle's raiding.

David Yau Yau who is the former leader of the Cobra faction and a deputy Minister refused to travel to Bor and that situation prompted Minister of Information in the National Government to avoid travelling to Pibor. Vice President Taban is talking to the two communities if chances of peace resolutions can be reach. Philip Aguer said,"David Yau Yau and Kenedy never came to Bor but instead went to Pibor. VP Taban went to Pibor and returned to Bor. He is now heading back to Pibor for more consultation with Mulre's chiefs, youth and member of the committee in Pibor. Michael Makuei Lueth (Minister of information) never

accompanied VP Taban to Pibor yesterday and wouldn't go today too. Makuei will remain in Bor"
