JUBA – Fierce fighting erupted on Monday between South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) and South Sudan’s main armed opposition Sudan People’s Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLA-IO) forces led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny resulting in the killing of several civilians and service members, several fleeing residents and SPLA-IO sources have just told Sudans Post.
The fighting, one eye witness said, begun a few kilometers away from Tambura town in a village housing SPLA-IO forces, but the frontline deteriorated into the town in the afternoon after forces of South Sudan People’s Defense Forces led by former SPLA-IO commander General James Nando were allegedly outnumbered by the SPLA-IO forces who were being accommodated in the village.
“In the morning (Monday) at around 6:00 AM, there has been fighting in Namatina which is the base of the SPLA-IO. The known forces in that place are SPLA-IO rebels and the fighting started there since the morning but in the afternoon, the fighting reached Tambura town and several civilians have been killed and others are being treated here because of wounds,” the eyewitness who said he works for a local medical charity said.
The eyewitness further said they haven’t been able to provide medical assistance to most people he said are still inside the town because they couldn’t go to collect the wounded in the town given their fear for their safety and said it was not yet clear who has attacked who, but have seen SSPDF forces moving into the town from neighboring areas.
“Now, we are unable to provide medical assistance to many people who are said to be wounded and are inside the town. We cannot go into the town because we are not safe there. Currently the situation is not even clear as to who is in control of the security situation because gunshots as of this night are still there,” the eyewitness added.
A senior SPLA-IO officer who requested not to be named told Sudans Post that the fighting started when forces of General James Nando when to evict SPLA-IO forces at Namatina telling them that they don’t have any permission from Juba for them to stay there after the presidency resolved for them to relocate to the area.
“On Saturday, they called us and told us to leave the area because of the directives given by the principals in Juba that we should relocate from here and we were also preparing, but you know when you are moving, there are a lot of preparations for you to do when relocating to another place,” the officer said on condition of anonymity.
“But to our surprise, they came to tell us that we should relocate by force and this is the reason why the fighting started. It started here at 6:00AM and the fighting subsidized during the morning hours also, but they were still coming, every time the fighting stop, they return and we decided to pursue them to the town, but we have moved away from the town and returned to our base currently,” the officer added.
Separately, General James Nando denied any wrongdoing and said opposition forces of the SPLA-IO attacked Tambura town without being provoked and said SPLA-IO forces in Western Bahr el Ghazal state have sent a reinforcement to come and attack Tambura town on orders of senior SPLA-IO officers.
“The IO forces came and attacked me and I was surprised to see the Ambororo forces that are allied to the SPLM-IO. This alliance was formed when I was still the leader of the IO forces, they are the same as the Seleka. The situation is still tense in Tambura, you can still hear gunshots,” General Nando said, according to Radio Tamazuj.
“The division commander of SPLM-IO in Wau is the one sending those people. Even now as I am taking those people are still coming so that this fighting can continue,” he added.
The problem is with the governor of bhar el gazhal state sarah cleto this woman is the one pushing the commander of Splm io she’s very serious I realize she was appointed she started by clearing all the ig government officials away from their ministrial positions and start going to Splm io contontmen areas but recently went president appointed her dupty governor from ig she start that mass
I agree completely. That governor of Western Bahr El Ghazal State is the trouble Maker and she has agendas just to clear the whole Western Bahr El Ghazal region as the SPLA I0. It is up to the President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his vice President Riek Machar Teny to see how the peace agreement will be successful. In my opinion, the SPLA I0 are targeted those generals who were defected to SSPDF and this is why general Khor was been attacked also in Upper Nile State.
“BREAKING | Deadly fighting erupts between SSPDF, SPLA-IO forces in Tambura town”
Sudans Post is indeed fueling instability in South Sudan. It has become as again becomes another Sudan Tribune propaganda machine. There is no damn fighting there. But yes, the agents of anarchy (ies), thrives in the middle of chaos. We once investigated long times ago. The most articles from Sudan Tribune, Radio Tamazuj and this new Sudans Post are posted by anti South Sudan and the South Sudanese people stability. They are mostly North Sudanese parasites who were weaned off South Sudan’s teats, and they are so desperate to see South Sudan failed and be re-united with their their shit-holes. some articles are written by the NGOs and UNMISS staff, because to maintain dirty lifestyles in South Sudan and over South Sudanese, an indefinite instability must be maintained in South Sudan. We later caught some Abeshas (so-called ethiopian)s prostitutes, Nigerians and other desperadoes. Who thought, their so-called AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION. Being slyly propagated by foreign criminals and secret societies was going to be entertained in South Sudan. Good luck to them though.
But if they are caught, they will be dead. They can do their dirty biddings over the cover of VPNs and internet. But these days, South Sudanese people have found out their enemies. Really, I just don’t get this, why is every piece trash in the world is fixated on South Sudan and the South Sudanese internal issues. For those of us in know. South Sudan is the most coveted country by the *evils white Americans, English people, their their juus (so-called israleis) attack dogs, their lackeys here in the IGAD countries and the African Union (the AU) and their gulf Arab states financiers, the UN, the NGOs and their UNMISS of Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sril Lankans.
That the so-called UN AGENDA21, UN NEW WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENTS WITHOUT BORDERS and their SO-CALLED AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION..
And that South Sudan is a part of their damned so-called *ANGLO-AMERICAN EMPIRE or Common Wealth countries pieces of nonsense. And that whoever controls our Nile valleys and plains, controls Africa. And that there cannot be their North Sudan and our Egypt, without South Sudan and the South Sudanese people being controled by the so-called ANGLO-AMERICAN OR ANGLO-EGYPTIAN.
And to Control South Sudan and the South Sudanese people, used the war of attrition 24/7. Until they buckle and welcomed the evils into their country and to their people on the pretext of *Humanitarian aids, donations, peacekeeping, human right, UN AGENDA21, UN NEW WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENTS WITHOUT BORDERS and their SO-CALLED AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION*
In 2005, after the signing of the comprehensive peace agreement (CPA) between South Sudan and our cloned so-called arab North Sudan. There was a fund raising project done in Oslo, Norway and Glasgow, Scotland, in which many countries pledged a lot of money, over 4.2 billion dollars, for the reconstruction of South Sudan.
But when the then government of Southern Sudan came and asked the current so-called *TROIKA countries* of the US, the UK and Norway about the 4.2 billion dollars that was pledged, the then government of Southern Sudan was matter-of-factly told by the so-called TROIKA countries that the then pledged money went and be used to help the most “suffering people of Darfur”. Can you fellows see? That pledged 4.2. billion dollars is always counted to have been given to South Sudan and the South Sudanese people, however, that is not the case. But the then government of Southern Sudan just rubbed her nose, dug on and got her country’s independence.
Lots propaganda, that South Sudan Sudanese people have been given 12 billion dollars, Seven billion dollars, 19 billion dollars dollars. And these cheap and fake data always come the US and the UK, and their propagandized media.
There are almost 12 millions South Sudanese, if even South Sudan were to be the most corrupt country on this planet earth, then there would at least be a few crumbs that would get every South Sudanese. But the US, the UK and Norway (TROIKA), have misread the South Sudanese people lips. And they are going to pay every heavy prize. South Sudanese people, are very very racists and revengeful people. I am a Norwegian people aid (NPA) scholar. Norwegians are not our equals, not in the slightest. But they are not real enemies. The low lives even lie through the dirty teeth that their *Vikings came and built our Pyramids, Oh really?!!!*
Yes, we have our low lives here in South Sudan, our Nuers ke nyantoc. They are just just same with the Muonyjiengs/Jaangs/Jenges/Dinkas, everything a Muonyjiengs/Jaangs/Jenges/Dinkas, do, a Nuer ke nyantoc would want to copycat it.
If a Muonyjieng/Jaang/Jenge/Dinka is called a CDR (Commander), our Nuers ke nyantoc would also want to be called a CDR, if a Muonyjieng/Jaang/Jenge/Dinka, is called a general, our Nuers ke nyantoc would want to be called a general also; if a Muonyjieng/Jaang/Jenge/Dinka is called commander-in-chief (C-in-C), our Nuers ke nyantoc would also want to to be called commander-in-chief (C-in-C), etc. However, the losers have nothing in their brains to be called those things.
They are always used by our enemies as their blackmails/hostages by our enemies. But there are limits. Their gat Machar, Mr. Riek Machar, their ow life had been used by his secret societies handlers’ since 1991 to 2016, as their piece trash to play games with South Sudan and the South Sudanese people.
Their Riek Machar is long since dead at the J1 complex shoot out. He was tried to be kept UN & UNMISS compound in Juba, just like they did on the 15/12/2013. The criminals cheap and dirty intrigue hold up, they have to take their low life to Democratic republic of Congo (Democratic republic of Congo (D.R.C) national park, and took him to our Kiirtoum (Khartoum) and lied through their evil teeth that, their took their Riek Machar to our Kiirtoum (Khartoum) on their so-called *humanitarian grounds*.
Fellows, South Sudan is a Muonyjieng/Jaang/Jenge/Dinka country, North Sudan is a Muonyjieng/Jaang/Jenge/Dinka, our Egypt is a a Muonyjieng/Jaang/Jenge/Dinka. Bring the damn rubbish on again to South Sudan and get away with you really can>>>>>
Oh my God. I am from Tambura, people are being killed and are displaced and you say there’s nothing happening!? Mad mad.
peace partners in the republic of south Sudan has never intends to bring peace in this country, peace will never exist in the country with two military army with different command. these wars will continue and people will continue to die until one army under one command with professional training is agreed upon.
Oh my God. I am from Tambura, people are being killed and are displaced and you say there’s nothing happening!? Mad mad.
