June 18, 2015 (MARIDI) – A spokesperson for the Revolutionary Movement
for National Salvation (REMNASA) claimed their forces successfully
raided Maridi town, rescuing the county commissioner and locals from
“well armed government allied Dinka tribal militia”.

The incident, Col. Sunday John Martin alleged, caused heavy losses on
both government forces (SPLA) and the allied tribal militia groups.
“The incident happened after the community of Maridi issued a
press-statement on 11 June 2015 condemning the evil acts of the Dinka
cattle keepers with backing of the government forces (SPLA), whereas
they burnt houses, killed innocent civilians and looted people’s
properties between 7-9 June 2015,” he said in a statement.
He added, “Our brilliant forces intervened and destroyed the SPLA’s
production unit as per our press release dated 9th June 2015”.
The Maridi community, in their press statement, called for full
implementation of the 8 April presidential decree, which demanded that
all cattle Greater Equatoria deployed in Maridi be evacuated.The South
Sudanese president, Salva Kiir issued the order.
It further called for respect of the constitution and that civilians
be protected, without discrimination and bias toward some ethnicity.
Col. Martin claimed the armed militia group invaded the residence of
the Maridi county commissioner with “intention to assassinate him and
his family as well to massacre the population of Maridi town,
allegations which Sudan Tribune could not easily verify.
“Our revolutionary forces killed at least 20 SPLA and their allied
tribal forces and injured several others and were in control of Maridi
town for five hours before it tactical retreated,” he further claimed.
The REMNASA spokesperson appealed to the civilian population in Maridi
to refrain from using military mobility as well to remain in
demilitarised zones for safety reasons.

Shut up.Zandes are not fools like you idiots.The War that
destroyed greater Upper Nile will never be allowed in our two great
regions. We lived for centuries with Equatorians,intermarried and
intermingled, you will never hear of tribal massacres in Equatoria in
the way you Nyagats murdered innocents in GUN region. Shut up. Those
are lies

simon,the war was started by nuer when they thought
that they would overthrow the government. so there is no need in
crying for help in equatoria. majority of equatorians aren’t foolish
like majority nuer. as longer as the top positions remain in hands of
fews individual, you would never find smart equatorians joining
foolish rebellion.so don’t expect majority equtorians joining any
local rebellio

Marie;
If you pay attention and read Thondet Manyang comment; you
would realize that he is defending equatorian being called
"Nyam-Nyam"! Your emotion completely blocked your brain’s ability to
comprehend what he said!
When it comes to the term "Arianjenge" you still don’t
have any idea that they are your masters and how dumb would you be for
someone naked to be your superior!

the usual rebel lies. if you indeed killed 20 spla soldiers with
your light weapons,how hundreds of your men have been killed. I don’t
support dinka cattle keepers settlement in maridi and equal disapprove
of maridi militias. stop attacking innocent dinka civilians and same
apply to dinka soldiers. dinka soldiers should equally respect locals.
those militias need to be keep in check.
