Rate This [image: dec 2013 crisis] Grandma mourning besides the grave of her grandson, Panriang, unity state *Form Gordon Buay Malek (version of events from the gov’t side)* *For Immediate Release* *July 8, 2016 (SSB) —* I want to inform the public that a platoon of the SPLA-IO attacked SPLA unit at Gudele checkpoint and killed four SPLA soldiers. The incident took place at 8 PM today. The clash happened when the SPLA-IO forces refused to be stopped at the checkpoint for security inspection. The South Sudan Council of Ministers ordered the security forces to check all the cars to weed out the problem of unknown gunmen in Juba. When the SPLA soldiers stopped the SPLA-IO cars to confirm that they were not unauthorized vehicles, they opened fire and killed four soldiers of the SPLA and ran to Jebel Ngundeng. I want to inform the public that there is NO fighting in Juba. The clash is contained and the First Vice President, Dr. Riek Machar has ordered an investigation. All the SPLA-IO who attacked the SPLA soldiers at the checkpoint have been detained as per the orders of Dr. Riek Machar. The people of South Sudan should NOT panic; there is no fighting in our capital city. The situation is contained. *From James Gatdet Dak, Riek Machar’s spokesperson (version of events from SPLM-IO)* There was military clash between 10 of our soldiers (SPLA-IO) and forces of the SPLA at around 8pm this evening in Juba. SPLA forces attacked our soldiers from the protection unit who were traveling in a vehicle on Gudele road in the town. They were taking food to our soldiers who always sleep in the office of the First Vice President to guide it. A number of soldiers have been killed on the other side (SPLA). Two of our soldiers have sustained wounds. The clash which lasted for more than 10 minutes has however stopped and our soldiers have returned to their base at Jebel Kujur. They have however remained vigilant. The situation is tense, but we hope the other side will stop the provocations to resume war. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
