(25th July, 2013) - The Sudan Peoples’ Liberation Army (SPLA) said people displaced by violence in Pibor County, Jonglei State have started to return home.
Humanitarian agencies and the United Nations had earlier indicated that an estimated 100,000 civilians were cut off from aid.
Thousands fled because of fighting between the SPLA and militia loyal to David Yau Yau and a resurgence of inter-communal clashes.
Speaking to Radio Miraya, SPLA spokesperson Col. Philip Aguer said the security situation in Pibor County is calm.
He said the army is in full control of the security in the area.
