Lam Paul Gabriel however called on the CTSAM-VM and Joint Defense Board to investigate the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn 16\/04\/2022, the SSPDF under the command of Maj. Gen. Gordon Banak attacked the SPLA-IO forces in the Liangji cantonment site and burned it down to ashes,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe SPLA-IO calls upon the CTSAM-VM and the JDB to investigate this violation and bring those responsible to book,\u201d Lam said.<\/p>\n<p>Early last week, President Salva Kiir issued a republican decree to unify the command structure of the organized forces.<\/p>\n<p>He later presided over the swearing-in of senior officers representing SSPDF, SPLA-IO, and SSOA in the unified command structure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
