Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A South Sudan government-allied militia has attacked several opposition bases in Longechuk County of Upper Nile state in separate operations on Sunday morning resulting in the displacement of hundreds of people.<\/p>\n

Residents speaking to Sudans Post said fighting first erupted on Saturday evening when forces belonging to General Khor Chuol attacked SPLA-IO cantonment site at Wangkuarbi, Kuerkeem, and Wech Tutbour.<\/p>\n

The residents told Sudans Post that the attacks were repulsed but a huge force with armored vehicles attacked the same places and fighting was still ongoing resulting in a number of civilian casualties.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday they attacked these areas and their force was repulsed but this evening, they came with two tanks and many Toyota cars and the fighting is still ongoing and the SPLA-IO force seem to be outnumbered,\u201d one person who identified himself as Gatluak said.<\/p>\n

He said the \u201ccivilians have been displaced and there are no medical facilities in here in the area and that is why it is becoming a very big problem that when the politicians fight, it is out wives and children that bear the brunt.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, SPLA-IO spokesman Col. Lam Paul Gabriel said forces of South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces were directly responsible for the attack which occurred in Longechuk.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 20\/03\/2022 at about 8:30am, the SSPDF launched aggressive simultaneous attacks against the SPLA-IO positions of Jekow, Lolnyang, Wang Kuarbiy and Kwerkeam in clear violation of CoHA signed on 21st December 2017,\u201d he said in the statement as copy of which was seen by Sudans Post.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cThese continuous intentional aggressions against the SPLA-IO do not only show lack of political will but also intent to take the country back to a full scale war.\u201d<\/p>\n
