“从现在起，警务人员和其他武装人员的枪支及所有其他类型的武器都必须放置在枪械室，警方人员将不再当众携带武器执勤“，新的内政部长ALEU Ayieny ALEU在上周六播出的南苏丹国家电视台（SSTV）在一份声明中指出。

ALEU的声明被视为政府正在努力防止武器在平民中扩散。

该命令授权安全人员需建立强有力的监督措施，在全国各地设立检查站和进行治安巡逻，对所有的（非法）武器进行收缴。

南苏丹自2011年7月独立以后，仍充斥着不安定因素，由于几十年的内战导致到处仍然充斥着轻武器。抢劫和劫掠牛群等袭击事件已经为这个年轻的国家的一个主要问题。

拥有枪支正成为牛保护组织的标准配置，因此，这将是几乎不可能实施的禁令，这是当局试图遏制非法武器扩散的最新尝试。

部长ALEU说，即日生效，同时，指出他自己的保镖也必须遵守该指令，否则将面临被逮补的风险。

他宣布：“这个命令必须执行，在午夜十二点被发现有持有枪支，无论是谁将完全值得怀疑。如果因为害怕来自高级官员和军官他们的亲戚或朋友被逮捕时，不要担心，我会亲自处理它，或者让我把它从那里带走“。

South Sudan bans possession of weapons by unauthorized personnel

August 17, 2013 (JUBA) – South Sudan’s interior ministry has issued an order banning unauthorized personnel from carrying any type of weapon and canceling licenses not bearing the signature of the interior minister.

“From now onward, guns and all other types of weapons owned by police personnel and other organized forces will have to be kept in stores. All the police personnel on duty will no longer be able to carry their personal weapons in the public”, Aleu Ayieny Aleu, the new interior minister said in a statement broadcasted on state-owned South Sudan Television (SSTV) on Saturday.

Aleu’s announcement is seen as an effort by the government to prevent proliferation of weapons in the hands of the civilian population in urban centers.

The order authorizes security officers to set up strong monitoring measures at checkpoints and security patrols across the country to confiscate any weapons.

South Sudan has struggled with insecurity since it became independent in July 2011 with country still awash with small arms from decades of civil war. Robbery and cattle raids have been a major problem for the young nation.

Possessing a firearm is becoming a rite of passage for most cattle-keeping communities in the country and it will be virtually impossible to enforce the ban which is the latest attempt by authorities to try and curtail the spread of illegal weapons.

Minister Aleu said the order will be implemented with immediate effect, noting that his own bodyguard will also have to comply with the order or risk being arrested.

“This order must be implemented. Whoever is found walking with a gun at twelve midnight must be questioned properly. Don’t worry if it is because of the fear that letters will come from senior officials and officers when their relatives or friends are arrested. I will deal with it or let me take it from there”, he announced.
