Key government officials and military officers in Upper Nile told
Sudan Tribune in a series of interview that their forces repulsed
attempted attacks on their positions by the armed opposition fighters
allied to rebel leader, Riek Machar in around Nasir town.
Gajiok territories under Latjor state, according to a government
official, have taken from armed opposition fighters he described as
anti-peace elements. The SPLM-IO forces loyal to FVP, Gen. Taban Deng
Gai, he said, captured Nordeng, Dhuoreding, Torpuot, Ketbek, Nyariew
and Mandeng on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
These operations, he further explained, were carried out under the
command of one Gen. Nasir Ruot Geng for whom he called for
congratulations “for the job well done”.
“I want to declare today that the entire Gajiok area is free from Riek
Machar," said Gordon Buay, one of South Sudanese diplomats to its
mission in Washington.
Meanwhile South Sudanese rebels under the command and leadership of
Machar announced that they had captured Morobo county in Yei River
state in Equatoria region.
The armed opposition faction (SPLA-IO) military spokesman, William
Gatjiath Deng said in a statement issued on Saturday that the SPLA-IO
forces managed to capture Morobo county after an attack on their
positions by pro-government troops in the area.
"Now, the gallant SPLA-IO forces are in full control of Morobo
county,” said Deng.

Well done to the people’s freedom fighters for trashing the
Matiang Ayor government malitia of Kiir at Morobo and overtaking the
town.
The gallant forces of SPLM /IO in Equatoria are coming to Juba and
all Jienge are targets, especially the members of the JCE and their
families and relatives.
We are going to disconnect all MTN shitheads from Equatorian soil
and make sure they relocate.
