Torposa

The Kenyan government has protested frequent raids and killings by Torposa tribesmen from southern Sudan.

Kenyan Foreign Minister Moses Wetang'ula expressed the government's deep concerns over the raid by the Torposas from southern Sudan and the subsequent killing of four Turkanas in Kenya on Saturday.

The Torposas raiders also seriously injured four other people and stole over 1000 herd of cattle.

Consequently, Wetang'ula on Monday met the Ambassador of Sudan to Kenya Majok Guandong and expressed the Kenyan government's protest over the incident.

He further condemned the killing of an administration Police Constable and a police driver who were shot by the same raiders while on a peace mission to restore order after the raid.

The Sudanese envoy Majok Guandong regretted the incident and promised that his government would cooperate with Kenyan authorities to investigate the attack and ensure that similar attacks do not occur in future.
