“I Emmanuel Tete Ezbon Simon Commissioner of Juba County, Central Equatoria state government do hereby issue this Local order for suspension of ongoing demarcation activities in Nyamini until further notice” the order partly read.

The order came few days after Nyangwara-Pojulu- Tijor communities and the Bari community wrangles over the said land.
While the Bari Community called on the demarcation of Nyamin area in Lado payam to the Citizens, the Nyangwara-Pojulu- Tijor communities called on the state government to halt the process.
This week Leaders from the Nyangwara-Pojulu- Tijor communities in Lado Payam, Juba County petitioned the Central Equatoria State government to stop ongoing land allocation in the Nyamini area.
Nyamini is located about 12 miles northwest of Juba.
The representatives from the Nyangwara-Pojulu Tijor community said the land being distributed is still under dispute between their community and the Kuda Lodimi community.
They called for an immediate halt to the land exercise.
The community also expressed concern over the exclusion of their members from the committee in charge of distributing the plots.
“We came to lodge our complaint with the Acting Governor because land demarcation is currently taking place in Nyamini. We demand our rightful place and reject the ongoing process,” said Juma
Jaden Lado, deputy chairman of the Nyangwara-Pojulu Tijor community.
Yapete Mogga, another community member, urged the state government to stop the distribution of land tokens and halt the demarcation process.
He called for the formation of a neutral committee to address the dispute and listen to all affected communities.
“We propose that neighboring communities Nyangwara-Pojulu Tijor, Kuda Lodimi, Yaro, Nyorja Lo Mere, Illikare, and Gurrum bring their landlords to traditionally declare and swear on ancestral land borders,” Mogga demanded.
This petition came at the time community leaders from Nyamini and Lodimi announced they had agreed to give out 22,700 plots of land for residential and investment purposes.
