The call follows three tragic incidents involving a number of Ugandans who were shot dead and others injured.
The group dubbed, the Joint Action for Redemption of Ugandan Traders in Sudan, an association that units Ugandans operating in South Sudan, say that they have been trying to reach their line minister, Amelia Kyambadde, to voice their concern, all in vain.
The association’s chairperson Rashid Manafa says they want to meet the government and tell them why South Sudanese hate Ugandans and also tell them the reason behind the killing of Ugandans.
He also asked Government to issue a ban on Ugandans from traveling to South Sudan because as the association, they have tried to talk to Ugandans who have refused to heed to their advice because there are jobless.
