*By Waakhe Simon Wudu* *JUBA, 17 December 2013 [Gurtong] – *Ajak Bullen of the SPLA Military Hospital told Radio Miraya that; “so far we have lost 7-soldiers. This is the number that we lost when they were waiting to be attended to because most of them lost a lot of blood.” “But those who were killed outside we have like 59. They are at the mortuary as we are arranging for a mass burial,” Ajak added. SPLM’s Spokesman Col. Philip Aguer has called for calm among the citizens saying “the army is in control of the situation.” The death toll following the coup attempt has now risen to 92 both civilians and armed forces. A group of SPLM members described by the President Salva Kiir on Monday as “disgruntled” group within the party attempted to over throw Kiir’s government but the President said the efforts were foiled.
