June 9, 2013 (KHARTOUM) - The National Intelligence and Security
Services (NISS) on Saturday said South Sudan has received recently
over 175 wounded Sudanese rebel fighters and continue to provide them
with logistical support.

Following the presidential decision to stop the use of the Sudanese
pipeline to export the South Sudanese crude to the international
market, SMC a semi-official Sudanese media close to the intelligence
service released this story, to back Bashir’s decision.
Juba during the past few days intensified supply operations to the
rebel Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF) and provided them with
vehicles, fuel, ammunition, spare parts and various amounts of
weapons, the SMC reported citing a high ranking security source.
This operations are conducted "under the direct supervision of SPLA
intelligence officers", he further stressed.
The report went further to say that over 175 wounded rebel fighters
were transported through South Kordofan to hospitals in Bentiu, Wau,
and Juba, stressing that Jau and Bentiu served as transit point for
the other towns in inside the South Sudan.
During the past months of April and May after the signing of matrix
agreement last March, the SMC refrained from releasing reports about
Juba’s support to the SRF’s groups. Recently, the NISS directly
provided some newspapers in Khartoum with such reports.
Juba denies usually such reports of support to rebel groups and
accuses Khartoum of failing to resolve its own problems. When the
Sudanese government demanded to be allowed to pursue rebels insides
the South Sudanese territory last May, the South Sudanese government
said a joint force tasked with the monitoring of the border with the
support of UNISFA peacekeepers is enough.
The cooperation agreements of 27 September 2012 aimed to respond to
two urgent needs of the two countries: export South Sudanese oil and
stop Sudanese rebels from using South Sudanese territory to launch
attacks on the Sudanese army in Darfur, South Kordofan Blue Nile
states.
However, observers say that it is obvious that such option is not
functional unless the two parties resolve also their dispute over
Abyei, and Khartoum has also to reach a peaceful settlement for itss
conflict with the SPLM-N which remains close to the ruling party in
South Sudan.
However, Sudanese officials accuse Juba of serving as basis to
transport logistical support and arms provided by Israel to the
rebels.
Information minister Ahmed Bilal Osman who serves as government
spokesperson on Friday said that Israel plans to break-up Sudan’s
unity and destabilise its security and stability.
