SSPDF Reclaims Nasir Town After Weeks of White Army Occupation ‎

-


SSPDF 

‎

The South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) have taken back control of Nasir town in Upper Nile State after it was held for weeks by the Nuer White Army. 

‎

‎This comes after heavy tensions in the region, with the area experiencing clashes and deadly airstrikes in recent weeks.

‎

‎According to SSPDF spokesperson Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, the army re-entered Nasir peacefully after the White Army fighters pulled out of the town before the arrival of government troops.

‎

‎“The White Army vacated the area without a fight, and our forces are now fully in control of Nasir,” Koang said in a statement to the media.

‎

‎Local sources say that the armed youth group had already withdrawn days earlier, following fighting between the two sides in nearby villages like Yomding and Kuich.

‎

‎Nasir was first captured by the White Army on March 4, during a violent attack that resulted in the killing of SSPDF commander Gen. David Majur Dak. 

‎

‎The government’s recent return to the town is seen as a significant step in regaining stability in the area.

‎

‎However, many residents remain concerned about their safety. A resident of Nasir, who asked not to be named, told this blog, “People are still afraid to move around freely. We need peace, not just soldiers passing through.”

‎

‎This development follows a tragic incident last month when UN helicopters evacuating SSPDF soldiers were fired upon, leaving many dead. 

‎

‎Airstrikes also hit the area shortly after, worsening the humanitarian situation.

‎

‎As government forces take control of Nasir, communities are calling for peace and support to rebuild their lives. 

‎

‎Humanitarian organizations are being urged to step up assistance for displaced families and those affected by the recent violence.
