Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan officials close to First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny have just confirmed that the residence of the South Sudan\u2019s second powerful man has been put under \u201cintense and heavy\u201d security presence with citizens being turned away from all roads adjacent to the residence.<\/p>\n

Earlier tonight, several eyewitnesses said a joint security force comprising elements from South Sudan\u2019s National Security Service (NSS) and South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces (SSPDF) has been deployed and were turning citizens away from the direction of \u2018Home and Away\u2019 Hotel and from the other side of J2.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post moments ago, one official allied to Machar said the deployment of forces around the First Vice President\u2019s residence begun with a small force following escalation of attacks on SPLA-IO cantonment sites in Unity and Upper Nile state, but turned out to be a heavy deployment of troops beginning Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince three days ago, when our partners in peace from South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Force attacked out cantonment sites in Unity and Upper Nile state, the national security began deploying force. It was a small group of soldiers, I can say so,\u201d the official who requested not to be named, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this evening (Sunday night), soldiers from South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces joined in making it heavy and even citizens were turned away from passing through the road that comes from J2 and from the Home and Away Hotel and we don\u2019t know the intentions. It is a intense and heavy deployment,\u201d the official added.<\/p>\n

Another official separately confirmed the heavy deployment of troops, but dismissed social media reports that the First Vice President has replaced his bodyguard with Nuer elements, saying those deployed as guards are from the National Security Service \u201cand cannot be done unilaterally at the FVP\u2019s end.\u201d<\/p>\n
