Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A group military commanders belonging to South Sudan\u2019s main armed Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLA-IO) has been abducted by suspected South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces (SSPDF) elements, according to the group\u2019s representative to the joint ceasefire monitoring body CTSAMVM.<\/p>\n

This comes following the kidnapping of SPLA-IO commander in Juba last month who was on a visit to his family at the former United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) civil protection site. The SPLA-IO has in the pass accused the SSPDF and the National Security Service of kidnaping their members.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the technical meeting of the Ceasefire Transitional Security Arrangement Monitoring and Verification Mechanism (CTSAMVM) at Dembesh Hotel in Juba on Thursday, Maj. Gen. Martin Abucha, the SPLA-IO representative to the peace monitoring body, said trust was hard to forge given the continued kidnapping of their commanders.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we have come here again to review what has happened in the last month. I am glad to see ceasefire holding as reported, but I am still disappointed that there are still violations, specifically arrest, torture, detention of, particularly SPLA-IO officers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident in Easter Equatoria State reminds us that our colleagues on the other side are not truthful to us. They continue to arrest our officers and we don\u2019t know where they are. Unfortunately, in Western Equatoria State, one of our officers, a member of CTSAMVM, was tortured very, very badly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

For his part, the chairperson of CTSAMVM Maj. Gen. Teshome Gemechu Aderie, confirmed the incidents in Eastern Equatoria State, saying it constituted a violation of the agreement by the SSPDF.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur briefing also includes one violation report concerning the arrest and detention of one SPLM\/A-IO officer as well as two civilians by SSPDF in Eastern Equatoria in September 2021. These actions by the SSPDF constitute a violation of the R-ARCSS,\u201d Maj. Gen. Gemechu said.<\/p>\n
