Gatjiath Deng, military spokesman of the SPLA-IO, told Radio Tamazuj that
the government forces had attacked their troops led by Gen. Johnson Olony
between Wau Shilluk and Owach areas, but they were repulsed.

“A convoy of Gen. Olony was attacked by the government forces in an area
between Wau Shilluk and Owach, so the clashes broke out and the fighting
continued for two hours, but we managed to repulse them,” said Gatjiath.

For his part, Santo Domic, deputy spokesman of the SPLA, denied knowledge
of any clashes with the SPLA-IO faction in South Sudan, claiming their
government has already embarked on the national dialogue.“I don’t have any
information, no clashes in the country, South Sudan has embarked on the
national dialogue, so there is no fighting in the country,” said Santo.
