SPLA-IO rebels say they have handed over six women, 18 children to ICRC

UPPER NILE (24 Mar.)

About six women and 18 children who were rescued by SPLA-IO fighters during
clashes with government troops in Gabat area in Upper Nile State were on
Thursday handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross
(ICRC), a rebel spokesman said.

In February, the SPLA-IO faction allied former First Vice President Riek
Machar announced that they were holding women and children who trapped
during clashes in Gabat and Khor areas.

The SPLA-IO military spokesman, Col. William Gatjiath Deng, told Radio
Tamazuj on Friday that the women and the children were handed over to the
ICRC on Thursday.“Those people were handed over to the Red Cross yesterday
and they will be reunited with their families. We said that there is no
need to hold the children and the women,” said Gatjiath.
