“The food for forces in Jonglei will be delivered by road, whereas those for Malakal and Bentiu will be delivered by boats,” Maj. Gen. Lul added.

“For the SPLA-IO, cantonment centers are akin to the barracks of the SSPDF. So, there will be 17 cantonment centers across the country where our forces will report before they move to training centers,” he said. “So, anyone reporting to a cantonment center has to go with his weapon.” Col. Lam clarified.
