Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLA-IO) led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny is mobilizing for war in several parts of Upper Nile state, the South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces (SSPDF) said in a statement this evening.<\/p>\n

The statement, a copy of which was extended to Sudans Post, said the mobilization campaign is being led by senior SPLA-IO commander, General Peter Thuok Chuok, General Thuok Chuol Leiy, General Hok-Dor Chuol, as well as SPLM-IO-nominated commissioners of Nasir and Longechuk Counties.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s with great concern that SSPDF GHOs would like to inform the people of South Sudan, region and international community about ongoing massive mobilization of rebel forces and armed civilians by our peace partner, SPLM\/SPLA-IO in Nasir, Maiwut and Longechuk Counties in Upper Nile State,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cConcerted mobilization efforts are being led by Lt. Gen. Peter Thuok Chuol, Maj. Gen. Thuok Chuol Leiy, Brig. Gen. Hok-Dor Chuol and Commissioners of Nasir and Longechuk Counties,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

The statement said that the mobilization whose aim is for the main armed opposition group to regain control of areas that it lost during fighting with South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces was focusing on recruiting civilians.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs things stand, armed civilians from Cieng-Wang, Cieng-Lang and Cieng-Yol had been successfully mobilized with military objective of attacking and recapturing Malual-Gak-Hoth and Jekou in 1st phase of offensive operations,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOngoing mobilization of SPLM\/SPLA-IO fighters and armed civilians from Cieng-Reng Thiang and some elements from Cieng-Chany is aimed at attacking and recapturing Turu, Maiwut and Pagak in 2nd phase of offensive operations,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

The statement further \u201ccalls upon the international community, IGAD, RJMEC and CTSAM-VM to bear pressure on SPLM\/SPLA-IO leadership in order to avert looming conflict\u201d and also reiterates the SSPDF \u201ccommitment to full implementation of transitional arrangements.\u201d<\/p>\n
