December 7, 2016 (JUBA) - Rebel forces loyal to the former First Vice
President Riek Machar said they had taken control of a new area in
River Yei State, South Sudan’s Central Equatoria.
Last weekend the armed group claims they overrun Lasu and Lobongo
villages outside of Yei town, a common border between South Sudan and
DRC.
John Sunday Martin, a commander of the SPLA-IO forces in the area said
they captured Ombachi in Otogo Payam on Wednesday at around 4:00pm
local time.
He further said they killed dozens of the government forces and
"captured 4 RPGs, 6 PKM and 15 AK47 with rounds of ammunitions
including 1 armed vehicle".
The rebel commander went further to say that their fighters are "
advancing toward Yei from all directions" and called on civilians and
aid workers to evacuate from Yei twon.
The government army didn’t deny the rebel claims, also the SPLA
spokesperson was not reachable for comment.

These are just thugs, they just over run their mothers and later,
cry that government has slaughtered their relatives. Sorry indeed, but
put in mind that you are destroying your homes, villages and town
alone. Government will decide to come in and help these communities
your are overrunning every day.

Sir King,
No jienge king, the SPLA-IO fighetrs are just cleaning the
area from hungry nyors who came to steal cassava, goats and chicken.
They have not been paid for 4-5 months and some of their relatives in
Aweil and Gogrial have already run North to Darfur and Khartoum to
their jellaba masters for food

Sir king, remember JUBAONE, NAATH, MALAKL, and machar internet
warriors live outside the country such as western countries and don’t
nothing about war and its consequences. Let them visit yei and unity
state. They will not sleep or walk around the city.

@Sir King
Pay a deaf hear to their lies please.There’s no existence of their
troops in Yei River State as we talk now.I am currently in Lasu and I
will soon go to Yei town.They need to create unnecessary situation to
those who may not be there.Gov’t forces are in full control of Yei and
areas around it.

@Jubaone
Why are you so specific about food my dear? Cassava and all those
you’ve mentioned are not target of forces there.It’s only lawless
terrorists among whom you may be.No one can listen to your lies and
baseless fabrications.Just to pay a deaf ears to you.

Sorry Sir K in your comment for the lack of understanding the
reality. Kir says he will send the troops to Upper Nile, Does he not
realize that the destruction he initiated & intend to continuate it is
now approaching Juba? You supporters of this tyranny president, you
will tell the truth when it come to approach you but feel shy to cry,
enjoy the consequence as you enjoy killing the innocent now.

BIEN, many generals including myself believe president Kiir
has given rebels horn because of his clemency. Just wait until I take
over the leadership. You’ll be surprising and want Kiir to come like
you pray for John Garang to come back. For example, any general who
took arms against government will be discharge from the army with
dishonor discharge. Also soldiers will be sending to labor for 5 ye

Innocent persons like the rest staying peacefully now are not
killed. But what of somebody holding the gun and slaughter civilians
on the roads and claim that he is a civilian if he is killed.

his hostilities, what is the meaning of head of state then?
Stupid not enough the peace commission lunches
nothing but misusing state resources in the expenses of peace and
reconciliation in South Sudan, do they think peace will just be
achieved in a mayor manner as they stupidly think? to conclude
whatever going on in SS will not take the country forward unless kiir
