Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Sudan<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>SPLA-IO spokesman Colonel Lam Paul Gabriel has claimed that two senior SPLA-IO commanders allied to General Simon Gatwech Dual were killed during fighting on Monday morning in Magenis, northern Upper Nile state.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, General Gatwech\u2019s forces accused Machar-allied forces of attacking their position from two directions triggering to a deadly fighting between the two rival opposition forces. General Gatwech\u2019s forces later on claimed victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been attacking our bases and it proceeded till Sunday. This morning we couldn\u2019t hold back anymore. So, at around 6 am, the SPLA-IO forces launched attacks on their launching areas\u2026.There are two Major Generals from their side who got killed, and one wounded,\u201d Lam said, according to City Review.<\/p>\n

Lam further said in an interview with Radio Tamazuj that \u201cI do not have accurate details and statistics on the number of dead on both sides.\u201d General William Gatjiath Deng, the SPLA-IO spokesman allied to General Gatwech had earlier dismissed, as propaganda, social media speculations that two senior opposition commanders allied to them were killed following the deadly fighting<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I am talking to you now, (SPLA-IO) forces are being defeated. The fighting is still going on because they are being pursued,\u201d Gen. Gatjiath told Sudans Post in an interview on Monday afternoon following the outbreak of fighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe propaganda that a senior SPLA-IO general has been killed from our side and the propaganda that they have captured the town is false,\u201d Gatjiath added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
