Amba barbarism on civilians in Bui
While Amba fighters in other divisions try to protect civilians as they engage with the military, those of Bui under thier different factions have launched a war of “no mercy” on innocent civilians.
” Indiscriminate kidnappings for ransom, torture, maiming, looting and killing of civilians have become the order of the day” lamented Berinyuy Joël who told MMI that he went through the ordeal and decided to leave Bui to a neighboring town for safety.
The macabre acts of the so called “liberation fighters” have triggered mass exodus of the population from Bui to other regions. The economy of the division is said to be on its knees.
