Government forces are planning a major offensive against our forces in central Equatoria region, claim the National Salvation Front (NAS). 
NAS Spokesman Suba Manase said that “According to the NAS military intelligence, the SSPDF [South Sudan People’s Defense Force] is planning to attack NAS positions in the three (3) axis of Jebel Lado and Terekeka on the western bank of the Nile and Mangalla on the eastern bank.”

On 2nd August 2019 government forces attacked NAS Forces in Lowi Hills killing two civilians and injuring countless more.  
Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, SSPDF spokesman said that “What happened in Jebel Lado last week was an attack by armed robbers, so we went there to protect the citizens. We don’t know that those armed robbers are loyal to NAS.”
General Lul reiterated the commitment of the government forces to protect civilians.
