Top Trending News Today: 





President Salva Kiir Mayardit was briefed by the chief Administrator of Pibor Administrative Area, Hon. Lokoli Ame Bullen, on the general security situation in GPAA. 


Hon. Lokoli Ame Bullen noted that, after the recent incidents involving the army, Anyuak and Murle is now calm. 


The Chief also said that, the people of GPAA are planning to organize the endorsement of President Kiir as the flag bearer of SPLM in the upcoming election 2024. 


On the 20th September 2023, officials in the County of Pochalla said that, they have received reports that armed youths from GPAA specifically Pibor County are already in the move to launch fresh attacks in Pochalla. 


Pochalla Acting Commissioner Hon. Owety Olung said that, a helicopter carrying guns and ammunition landed in Moruo and armed the youths of Murle to attack Pochalla. 


“A helicopter carrying guns and ammunition landed in Muruo and then Murle youths were mobilized and armed by the SSPDF commander there and GPAA officials. On Monday, those youths started heading for Pochalla with intentions of carrying out attacks,” Hon. Olung said. 


Hon. Abraham Kelang, GPAA Information Minister, refutes this allegations by saying that, no youths from Murle have been mobilized and the current clashes is mostly between the Army and some rebel group. 


“There is no mobilization of our youth to attack the Anyuak community. The ongoing clashes involved a rebellious group opposing and fighting the government,” Hon. Abraham denied. 


“There is no grouping of normal citizens. As a government, we plan to find a peaceful settlement to this issue.” Hon. Concluded. 


However, Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, the SSPDF spokesperson, said the allegations by the Pochalla officials were baseless fabrications.


Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, Army spokesperson said that, the allegations are all lies and we're baseless. 


“We have enough forces with our Brigade 23 in Greater Pibor and we are still holding our positions. So, there is no need for civilians to be mobilized to fight on our side,” Maj. Gen. Lul said. 


Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang further explained that, no brigade commander as the access nor the right to use military warcraft and all the allegations are false and baseless. 


“A brigade commander does not have authority to use military aircraft and these are just fabrications.” Maj. Gen. Lul said. 


Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai, clarified the allegations on the use of aircraft by saying that, gunships were used to rescue the soldiers because the army was overpowered by the armed youths. 


On the issue of airstrikes, gunships were used at our request to rescue our soldiers because those armed youth overran our trenches at the southern part of the

 barracks.” Maj. Gen. Lul said.
