The Government of South Sudan again have accused the SPLA-IO allied to Dr. Riek Machar Of Attacking their base in Pagak and it is a clear violation of the cessation of hostilities agreement that was signed by both parties.

Col. Dickson Gatluak the Spokeman Loyal to the First Vice President Taban Deng Gai Said that “Machar’s SPLA-IO attacked our position in Pagak through Jekow river and Pagak bridge,” and further added that “Our forces had to strike back heavily in order to end the assaults and repulsed them [rebels] back to where they came from and we rejuvenated back to our barracks at 6:00AM this morning.”

Mr. Gatluak further warned that such attacks can easily derail hope for peace in the young nation and that the signed agreement on cessation of hostilities must be respected by both parties who signed the agreement.

JMEC AND (CTSAMM) The two bodies said fighting had intensified in Unity, Jonglei and Central Equatoria pointing to the devastating impact on thousands of civilians and humanitarian agencies.
