The clashes are reported to have been intense and therefore, resulted to a repulsion of the government forces with a bigger pushes deeper inside the inner city. James Gatdet Dak, the press secretary for the First Vice President, Dr. Machar, on his Facebook timeline reported that “president Salva kiir’s forces attacked Jebel (site 2) but have been repulsed now….” He then continued to say “there is fighting in Torit,” and if that is true, the nation is set for all-out war.
