A misleading Post! The Sudanese boy was not killed in Uganda. The incident happened in Egypt last year. 

A post published on Facebook by a South Sudanese user last week indicated that a South Sudanese boy was reportedly murdered in Uganda. 

But when the 211 Check team fact-checked the post, it was identified that the same story was published by the same person in October last year as indicated in the link below. The gentleman just changed the name of the country from Egypt to Uganda. 

The story that angered many South Sudanese was never true, the report revealed that the late murdered boy was a “Sudanese” boy, but not a “South Sudanese” as you two posts stated. 

The young boy’s murderer was an Egyptian man and the incident occurred in October last year as reported by the following news outlet and several Twitter handles.
