[image: JPEG - 40.8 kb]*A batch of the SPLA-IO forces after arrival in Juba, 1 April, 2016 (ST Photo)* Machar was replaced on Monday with his ex-minister of Mining, Taban Deng Gai, in a process described as illegal by his officials but accepted by President Kiir, who appointed Gai as acting First Vice President. President Kiir said he did not know where Machar has been hiding and could not respond to his 48 hours ultimatum. His former deputy has been demanding deployment of third party force in order to guarantee his safety in Juba following fighting two weeks ago which forced him to flee from the capital. The former first deputy has however remained in charge of the SPLA-IO forces across the country as well as continuing to lead over 95% of the political leadership, according to his officials. While President Kiir has called on Machar to return to Juba despite being replaced with Gai, his spokesperson said forces loyal to President Kiir have instead gone on offensive to hunt for his former deputy in the bushes, south and west of the capital, Juba. “Their forces have been on offensive since last week, and our forces have been repulsing them in self-defence. There maybe escalation of fighting due to this violation of the July 11 cessation of hostilities declared by the two leaders,” Machar’s spokesperson, James Gatdet Dak, said on Tuesday. “Even today [Tuesday] they have continued to dispatch troops from Juba and from other locations such as Maridi to go into the bushes to hunt for our Chairman and Commander-in-Chief, Dr. Riek Machar,” he added. He said hundreds of President Kiir’s forces are believed to have been killed in the forests, saying “it is unfortunate to continue to waste lives of soldiers.” He also added that helicopter gunships belonging to the faction loyal to President Kiir have been bombing forests randomly trying to locate and harm Machar and his forces. Dak however said Machar is together with his troops and will continue to fight back in self-defence, or “even pursue President Kiir’s forces” if the attacks will continue. He said he has been in contact with Machar whom he described as well protected by his forces. The opposition leader’s spokesperson said the leadership of the SPLA-IO forces are not however interested in further escalating the fighting. He called on President Kiir to stop his forces from carrying out the attacks in search for Machar. (ST) Comments on the Sudan Tribune website must abide by the following rules.

Riek is alive b’se of President Salva Kiir & b’se SPLA respects commands of C-in-C. Dak’s words will harm his boss if SPLA consequently responds to his rampant war-triggering statements. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59736&id_forum=351206> - 27 July 04:22, by Shadrack Nuer Machut In 1991 even when there was no c’try to rule, Dr. Riek staged a coup to Dr. John Garang but he failed & joined Garang. In 2013 Riek again tried a failed Coup attempt to President Kiir & joined him by imposed agreement. 3rdly, in 2016, he attempted another coup in J1. When will he realize that S. Sudanese have finished & survivers are suffering? Why don’t you stop making citizens become refugees & repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59736&id_forum=351208> - 26 July 23:45, by lino Hahaha!!! Juba is confused, and now they brought another hell to the people. I don’t think Machar is close to Juba; he maybe hiding somewhere else, but Malong and the SPLA forgot the bush fighting/war already since 2005. Now your the Government like Khartoum and Machar is your rebel for the next 2 years unless UN took over SS!!! repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59736&id_forum=351184> - 27 July 06:40, by Eastern The monstrous SPLA faction on both divides is at it once again; killing its volunteers and the citizens they visited to have liberated. Pathetic and shameful! repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59736&id_forum=351211> - 27 July 07:18, by William Atak Garang. The Government and rebel groups will ran out of troops in the future to come when the don’t stick to the peace they signed to stop the war because the army are exhausted from both sides in the region. The war become a monotony to our leaders rather than applying diplomatic measures to safe the life of the nation. And Most of the forces are always deserting their places due to too much confrontatio repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59736&id_forum=351213> - 27 July 07:39, by viper When there’s no crocodile in the river, monitor lizard may assume himself of being the crocodile in that river. Gadet Dak is now the one running the affairs of the movement of Riek Machar. He keeps lying and firing people who are for peace. That little liar should be ashamed of himself and stop manipulating the situation or vacuum. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59736&id_forum=351218> - 27 July 07:46, by viper Now it’s clear that IO is being run by anonymous manager. Somebody that’s never seen or heard from. Don’t be surprised to fail to differentiate this organisation from Al Qaeda. Any attack from any corner soon will be claimed by them, just to fool the world that they are a force. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59736&id_forum=351221> - 27 July 07:45, by choldit It is unbelievable that president Kiir can’t keep his words. Ceasefire promises and military orders to violate the same ceasefire at the time. The nation confused under Kiir. Hunting for Dr Machar while telling the world he need Dr Machar to come to juba for peace implementation. But Dr Machar will implement peace as what? He replaced with Taban. Let him and Taban implement the peace. -- 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.
