In a statement, LoDDCA requested President Salva Kiir’s administration to provide a military escort to trucks to minimise insecurity incidents. Additionally, LoDDCA asked truck drivers to strictly operate during the daytime when traversing South Sudan. While asking truck drivers to be diligent while operating in South Sudan, the drivers were asked only to operate between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. The truck drivers further demanded Salva Kiir’s government to clear bushes along major highways. South Sudan being a landlocked country depends on the Port of Mombasa in Kenya to import and export goods.
