Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Army (SPLA-IO), the military wing of the main armed opposition SPLM-IO led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny, has accused government security forces of supporting renewed attacks by Kitgwang factions on its position at Diel in Upper Nile.<\/p>\n

Forces belonging to General Johnson Olony Thabo on Thursday evening launched an attack on a military base belonging to the main armed opposition SPLA-IO in Upper Nile state resulting in the displacement of an unknown number of civilians.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Thursday night, Col. Lam Paul Gabriel, the spokesman of the main armed opposition SPLA-IO, claimed that the Kitgwang elements were facilitated and given departure orders by IG security organs top go an attack their forces at Diel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SPLA-IO is aware that the Kitgwang elements were facilitated and given departure orders by IG security organs to move from Magenis to Malakal,\u201d Gabriel said in a statement seen by Sudans Post on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Gabriel claimed that the forces loyal to Kitgwang were escorted by 2 speed boats of IG forces from Malakal to Atar where they launched an attack on the SPLA-IO position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is also a plan from the same negative force to attack the SPLA-IO position of Phom in the morning hours of Friday 19\/08\/2022,\u201d Gabriel said.<\/p>\n

He said the attack on its positions will jeopardize the current spirit of the implementation of the recent roadmap.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch as the SPLA-IO respects the defection Agreement between the SPLM IG and the Kitgwang faction, facilitating them to attack the SPLA-IO positions is not only a violation of R-ARCSS but also intent to jeopardize the current spirit of the Implementation gained through the signed Road Map.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called upon the CTSAMVM and the JDB to investigate what he called \u201cintentional violation\u201d and bring those responsible to book.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SPLA-IO remains committed to the Implementation of the Transitional Security Arrangement but reserves the right to self-defense.\u201d<\/p>\n

In August 2021, the SPLM- IO Kitgwang announced to have ousted Dr. Riek Machar \u2013 claiming he no longer represented the group\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n

Gen. Simon Gatwech declared himself the party\u2019s Chairman deputized by Gen. Johnson Olony.<\/p>\n

The group later splinted into two, one headed by General Simon Gatwech Dual, the Former SPLA-IO Chief of General Staff together, and General Johnson Olony of the Agwelek forces.<\/p>\n
