Reflecting on the unfortunate fire incident that occurred in Custom Market, I stand in solidarity with all the victims of the situation.

I reiterate the call by H.E. President Salva Kiir Mayardit for a thorough investigation into the cause of the incident.

Situations like this can lead to major economic setbacks. Therefore, I call for a support to the affected traders and encourage the concerned institutions to consider proper restructuring of our markets to avoid such incidents nationwide.
