Opposition Pushback: NAS and SPLA-IO Claim Capture of Key SSPDF Base in Mundri East

-


‎


‎Opposition forces in South Sudan have claimed responsibility for seizing a government army garrison in Mundri East County, Western Equatoria State, following heavy fighting earlier this week.

‎

‎In a joint statement, fighters from the National Salvation Front (NAS) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army-In Opposition (SPLA-IO) said they launched a dawn attack on the Kadi’ba garrison, killing at least 13 soldiers of the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF). 

‎

The groups further claimed they captured several weapons, ammunition, and an armored personnel carrier (APC).

‎

‎Video footage released by the opposition appears to show jubilant fighters standing near the seized APC and weapons. 

‎

The NAS–SPLA-IO alliance said the operation was carried out in retaliation to what they described as “continuous incursions, harassment, and looting of civilians” by government troops in the area.

‎

‎Local officials have confirmed that clashes did occur but could not verify the opposition’s version of events. 

‎

Mundri East County Commissioner John Henry Ngalamu told the media that the situation remained tense, and a fact-finding mission had been dispatched to assess the impact. 

‎

Western Equatoria State Police Commissioner Philip Madut Tong also called for investigations into the incident.

‎

‎Attempts to reach SSPDF spokesperson Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang for comment were unsuccessful at the time of publication.

‎

‎The attack comes at a politically sensitive moment, with SPLA-IO leader Dr. Riek Machar currently on trial for treason in Juba alongside seven senior officials. 

‎

The NAS, led by Gen. Thomas Cirillo, has never signed the 2018 peace agreement, while Machar’s SPLA-IO is officially part of the unity government but has recently shown signs of internal rifts.

‎

‎The reported capture of the garrison raises concerns of renewed instability in Western Equatoria, an area that has experienced repeated clashes between government forces and holdout opposition groups.
