Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement\/Army in Opposition (SPLM-IO) and the National Democratic Movement (NDM) are accused of forcing civilians transporting goods on the Nile River to pay taxes.<\/p>\n

The Agwelek faction of the SPLM-IO Kitgwang, led by General Johnson Olony Thabo, said in a statement that the two groups are harassing civilians in Panyikang County.<\/p>\n

The statement, signed by the faction\u2019s Chairperson of Political Affairs Paul Achot, said the SPLA-IO and NDM share the county\u2019s resources from the proceeds of their illegal checkpoint along the Nile River and other levies and taxes imposed on herders from Sudan.<\/p>\n

Achot accused the two groups of fighting over taxes, resulting in displacement in the northern Upper Nile area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis disagreement has manifested itself in the Sunday night attack on Tonga by a dissatisfied group of the SPLM\/A-IO in the town,\u201d he said. \u201cThe SPLM\/A-IO Kitgwang would like to distance itself from the recent clashes in Tonga.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sudans Post was unable to reach the SPLA-IO or NDM for comment.<\/p>\n
