SPLA Soldiers Wounded In Northern Liech State After Clashing With SPLA-IO

-

Four SPLA soldiers clashed with Forces Loyal to Dr. Riek Machar wounding more than 4 SPLA soldiers in Northern Liech State.

Northern Liech spokesperson Mr. Lam Tungwar confirms that the forces clashed at Bentiu and Nhialdhiu.

This is what Mr. Lam had to say “We actually proved right on date 11, [April] when they actually attacked the convoy of SPLA sent by the government of Northern Liech to go and check on Nhialdiu and that clashes actually have to be pursued by the government forces. Until now we got their own safe heaven where they usually leave. Now that living place has been destroyed completely and now they are on a run.”
Mr. Lam also accused the Opposition of of closing humanitarian access to Northern Liech.

“Endangering the humanitarian workers is also something that is not acceptable; causing insecurity to the civil population is also not acceptable. And attacking government positions and forces is also [an] abuse of Cessation of Hostilities] agreement. He claimed. So, in self-defense, we have to defend ourselves as a government.”

Colonel Lam Deputy Military  Spokesperson  for The SPLA-IO denied all the accusation. “Humanitarian workers always help the suffering population, the suffering civilians. And these people are mostly found in our areas of control, because they don’t have access to cities like Juba, they cannot go to buy to things in the markets. So, they survive entirely on humanitarian agencies.
