Paul Malong Awan Anei,\u201d he said yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>But in a statement, the SSUF\/A dismissed the claim as propaganda and said that their forces do not have presence in Raja where the alleged looting is said to have taken place and added that their forces have never been involved in looting since its inception in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur attention has been distracted by the wild propaganda labelled against our forces of having involved in the looting of commercial truck as alleged by an SSPDF senior commander in Wau, Western Bahr el Ghazal State,\u201d the SSUF\/A statement signed by its military spokesman Col. Philip Deng Kuol reads in part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrior to these SSPDF\u2019s negative accusations, we would like to vividly take this position to assure the public and peace facilitators that, SSUF\/A under Gen. Paul Malong Awan has no presences or any forces contented in an aforementioned area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, since an inception of SSUF\/A in 2018, our invincible forces have never involved in any plundering of civilian properties; because SSUF\/A mighty movement has principles guiding it despites our projected goal is to liberate all South Sudanese citizens out of this jeopardy situation, but not to rob them like what a hungry SSPDF always commit as the true prime suspects,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>The statement extended to Sudans Post further urged \u201cthe general public and peace guarantors to treat that state-sponsored anti-peace statement of Gen. Abraham Gum as unfounded and baseless assertions.\u201d<\/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.
