SPLA Spokesman, Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, confirmed the attack on Pajut on Saturday evening but declined to provide details. Pajut is main SPLA barrack bordering Uror county, a stronghold of the armed SPLM-IO under the leadership of former First Vice President, Riek Machar. This is the first fighting reported in the area since the peace agreement was signed in August last year between the armies loyal to President Salva Kiir and former First Vice President, Machar. The fighting erupted six weeks after the violence occurred in the capital, Juba, on 8 July between forces loyal to President Kiir and those loyal to First Vice President, Machar. Aguer said 20 government soldiers were also killed over the weekend in the fighting which took place in the north-eastern county of Jonglei state.

Wek It is so sad to hear bad news from time to time. Is this the type of South Sudan we wanted for over fifty years? Did depart from the North to come to finish off ourselves? We need to stop this madness before we finish off ourselves. -- 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.
