SSPDF (ARMY) Moves to Strengthen Security Along Juba-Bor Highway After Deadly Ambush

-


‎



‎Juba, South Sudan, October 9, 2025  

‎

The South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) has pledged to intensify security along the Juba-Bor highway, especially around Mogiri, following a fatal ambush that claimed at least one life. 

‎

‎Ambush Details & Impact

‎On Tuesday morning, two public passenger vehicles were attacked about 40 km from Juba, near the Mogiri junction. 

‎

One vehicle was “sprayed with bullets,” according to SSPDF spokesperson Major General Lul Ruai Koang. 


 He confirmed that one passenger died in the attack, and another was wounded suffering a gunshot to the head or neck. The perpetrators remain unknown. 

‎

‎The Mogiri stretch has become a notorious “black spot” for such attacks, with multiple ambushes already recorded in the area. 

‎

‎SSPDF Response & Measures

‎Major General Lul emphasized that security will be beefed up along the highway, particularly in vulnerable sections, to deter further violence and protect civilian commuters.  

‎

Reinforcements of security forces are expected, though detailed deployment plans were not disclosed. 

‎

‎Significance & Broader Context

  • ‎The incident underscores the persistent insecurity facing road travelers in South Sudan, especially in conflict-affected regions.
  • ‎The highway linking Juba and Bor is a vital lifeline for trade, movement of people, and delivery of humanitarian supplies. Any disruption or danger along that route can have ripple effects on communities and commerce.
  • ‎SSPDF’s commitment to increased deployment may restore some confidence among the public, but success will depend on consistent surveillance, intelligence gathering, community cooperation, and accountability for attackers.

‎

‎What to Watch

  • ‎Will SSPDF reveal more details about the identities or motives of the attackers?
  • ‎Are there plans to involve local community security committees or use technology (e.g. drones, sensors) to monitor the highway?
  • ‎How quickly can reinforcements be deployed, and will they make tangible differences for travelers?

‎ 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...
