South Sudanese Information Minister Michael Makuei Lueth said patrols in the capital by United Nations peacekeepers are “frightening” residents and that their movements should be restricted.
“These random and uncalled for movement of forces in the streets of Juba in the name of reconnaissance and patrols, in the eyes of the citizens amount to harassment and intimidation,” Lueth said at a ceremony in the city on Friday. Patrolling should happen “only when necessary,” he said.
