The devastating Nodding disease epidemic has reportedly spread to South Sudan, documents of the Centre for Disease Control CDC released by Kitgum district woman Member of Parliament Beatrice Atim Anywar apparently reveal.
According to the documents, which Anywar says she downloaded from the CDC website medics in the war torn country have carried out preliminary findings that attribute the possible causes of the disease to gun powder residue, harmful war chemicals and population displacement.
It's from here that the renowned iron lady, commonly known as mama mabira has given the parliament a one-day ultimatum to declare the districts of Kitgum, Lamwo and Pader as humanitarian disaster areas, lest she incites the masses.
