SPLA-N CLAIMS TO HAVE ENTERED KURMUK Monday, 25 February 2013 13:44 |
The Sudan People’s Liberation Army-North or SPLA-N said its forces entered Kurmuk, in Blue Nile State, and were fighting the local garrison. SPLA-N spokesperson Arnu Ngutulu Lodi said the rebels were pressurizing the demoralized government forces and militias that suffered heavy casualties. He added that SPLA-N forces would maintain its pressure until Kurmuk was fully liberated. The Sudanese military denied the claims. Kurmuk is a strategic town in Blue Nile State, near the Ethiopian border that was taken by the Government forces in November 2011. Last week, SPLA-N overran the Sudanese army in Mufu, on the way to Kurmuk. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
