Nomads in the border areas of Um Jalala, Wad Dakona El Mutaymir in White Nile state demand the authorities of Upper Nile state provide them with security and protection upon entering the area.

A nomadic leader told Radio Tamazuj that nomads already pay royalties and taxes to facilitate the seasonal movement of their cattle to the area.

However, he complained that there is a lack of essential services such as health care and water services.
