15 Killed in SSPDF–SPLA-IO Clash at Government Buffer Zone in Warrap State ‎

-




‎Warrap State, South Sudan, 8 October 2025 

‎

At least 15 people have died and five others wounded in renewed fighting on the border of Athony, a government-designated buffer zone, according to local officials. 

‎

‎Clash Details & Casualties

‎Twic County Commissioner Mabior Marup confirmed that the confrontation began Monday evening and continued into Tuesday morning. 

‎

‎Initially, eight soldiers from both sides reportedly lost their lives. 

‎

‎By the following day, the conflict flared again, resulting in seven additional deaths, bringing the total to 15. 

‎

‎Among the fatalities: eight SSPDF soldiers, six SPLA-IO fighters, and one civilian caught in crossfire. 

‎

‎Five SSPDF soldiers were injured and are receiving treatment. 

‎

‎Trigger & Aftermath

‎Marup attributed the flare-up partly to heightened tensions around the ongoing high-profile trial of suspended First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar and eight co-accused.  

‎

He added that IO-aligned forces, after being driven from their positions, were pushed back, and additional government reinforcements have been deployed to the area.  By Tuesday afternoon, calm had largely returned. 

‎

‎SPLA-IO spokesperson Colonel Lam Paul Gabriel affirmed that the fighting had erupted between the SPLA-IO contingent of the Unified VIP Protection Force and the SSPDF, though he did not provide further details.  The government, for its part, has not yet released an official statement. 

‎

‎Athony had been designated a buffer zone under the 2018 Revitalized Peace Agreement, intended specifically to prevent clashes by creating separation between opposing forces.  

‎

This incident marks a serious setback for the already fragile security environment in South Sudan, especially as peace implementation remains stalled and political tensions grow.

‎ The Office of the President has dismissed public speculation surrounding Vice President Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior’s recent assignment to oversee the Governance Cluster, clarifying that the move does not signal any change in the country’s executive hierarchy. ‎ ‎While addressing the media, Presidential Press Secretary Ambassador David Amuor said Nyandeng’s role is temporary and administrative, aimed at ensuring continuity of government operations following the suspension of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, who traditionally chairs the Governance Cluster. ‎ Amb. David, explained that the Council of Ministers had accumulated a backlog of pending memos and policy documents, many of which required urgent presentation and processing to avoid delays in governance and legislation. ‎ “This arrangement does not in any way alter the hierarchy of the Presidency,” Amb. David stressed. “Vice President Nyandeng is only facilitating the presentation and co-sharing of memos in Cabinet to ensure...

South Sudanese Transgender Is Asking For A South Sudanese Man To Marry Him.

South Sudanese man who turned into a woman has finally spoken about his need for man to settle with. The South-South Sudanese man who goes by the name Paul Gatnoor, has found men hard to come by in the western world. Paul Gatnoor who hails from the Nuer tribe in South Sudan has decided to turn into a female since she can’t withstand the pressure of being a man. He was born a man but deep inside him, he was having the genes of a woman. Transgender is the challenge that the gender in which one is given has birth is not the exact gender that one has. This means that people who are born male can identify themselves as female since they don’t have the genes of being a male, this is what Paul Gatnoor is undergoing. They are sometimes also in other words identified as the gender queer. This only means they can not be categorized as female or male. Sometimes one might be comfortable addressing himself as a female rather than identifying yourself as a male. Gatnoor Paul w...
