Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Army (SPLA-IO) led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny has accused the South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces (SSPDF) of renewed attack against it position in Unity State\u2019s Koch County.<\/p>\n

This comes less than two weeks after the group accused the army of attacking its positions in Mirmir of Koch County and an area in Maiwut County of Upper Nile state.<\/p>\n

In a statement, sector two military spokesman Major Kerbino Yai Pazale said forces belonging to the South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces (SSPDF) launched an attack on a SPLA-IO cantonment site in Mirmir, and said the attackers were repulsed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday afternoon at 2:51 PM, government forces repeated such barbarous attack against our forces from their trenches. The SPLA IO is currently in a position of self-defense and repulsed back the attackers,\u201d he said in a statement seen by Sudans Post.<\/p>\n

While condemning the attack, the senior South Sudan opposition military officer further called for immediate investigation from peace monitors such as the CTSAMVM, Joint Defense Board and he Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) which mediated the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appeal to the CTSAMM, JDB, and IGAD, to take necessary investigation about the current situation in Koch County,\u201d Maj. Yai said.<\/p>\n
