The clashes have forced civilians to flee their homes.
Lol state governor Rizik Zachariah Hassan told Sudan Tribune on Friday
that rebel forces attempted to infiltrate the town but they were
immediately repulsed and the town now under control of the government.
“The rebels attempt to infiltrate the town this afternoon but they
have been repulsed and our forces are pursuing them. This was what
happened. It was a small attempt but they have been dealt with,” he
said.
William Wel, head of the information committee in the state
legislative assembly said the rebels carried out massive attacks
across the contact line using all available weapons, but were
repulsed.
“The situation is now under control. The rebels attempted to take the
town but our forces managed to push them back. Now the governor and
other officials are now in town. It is under control,” said Wel.

Again! Who’s really in controls on those bandits calls themselves
rebels? Who’s commanding them? Those of Midit,Eastern, Jubaone,Fairman
and like are saying that these thugs belonged to IO, but I am not
quite sure,if that’s right. They’re just bunch of looters,rappers who
got no an ideals of the liberation. First and foremost, we needs to
know if who’s commanding them or are they acting alone?

The SPLA must be very extra vigilance on our borders with
Central Africa republic (CAR) and DRC. These are were these hooligans
get their arms and munitions from. Do you fellows remember the
so-called the US AFRICOM based in Yambio and CAR? They are the ones
who have been causing us problems with the UNIMISS peacekeepers in DRC
and here in our country>>>

Fellows, the US, the UK, their UN, their NGOs and some of
their criminals in between want a war in our country at all costs.
Simply because they are desperately salivating to take over our
resources like what they have done in Libya, CAR, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Syria, Yemen and Ukraine. The only country left in Africa with
resources to be plundered is our country and to get our resources. The
US>>>

the UK, their UN and creepy NGOs and some of their
criminals in between are using their Riek Machar as their
puppet/stooge and some of his Nuer fools and some Equatorians as their
pawns/proxies to fight their dirty war against the government of South
Sudan. All these lies that the SPLA is a Dinkas/Jiengs militia and the
government of South Sudan is a Dinka/Jieng government are just obtuse
lies>>>

Sudan bad and to coerce the government of South Sudan and the SPLA to
capitulate to corporate America, the UN, their NGOs and some of their
criminals in between and welcome the thieves into our country so that
they can come loot our country just like they done to other countries

Only a fool would dare touch the damn evil
corporate America, the UK and some of their other thieves in between
with even a 20 feet pole. The evils think that they can kill our
people through their dirty proxy and intrigues and they we will
welcome them into our country. Good luck to the evils, their dirty
game of regime change often work for them in Middle East, West Africa,
Central Africa>>>

or South American countries. Who really
says that we want the evil white Americans, English people and their
evil juus thieves in our country? Their love affair with our country
and our people has gone too far and we must put a full stop to it. The
US, the UK, France, their UN and NGOs have used their damn UN,
humanitarian aid, donations, peacekeeping and their so-called human
rights as their 21s>

neo-colonialism tool to crawl
themselves into other people’s countries to occupy them and eventually
loot them. And we have some of our fools who are not seeing these
dirty intrigues. There are many hungry people in the Nuba Mountain,
Southern Blue Nile, Darfur, CAR, Ethiopia, Northern Kenya, Somalia,
Burundi or Congo. But South Sudan and the South Sudanese people’s
hunger is always good for>>>

the UN and the NGOs business. And
there is another thing as why the US, the UK, their UN and their
creepy NGOs are so fixated in our country and our people. It is all
about our resources and to counter China. We informing the idiots that
they are not going to have their dirty hands touch anything in our

Right after our country’s
independence in 2011, the US was given the first to come and invest in
our country. But the US refused that there were no infrastructures to
invest in in our country and when the goverment of South Sudan then
ask China to invest in our country and the Chinese companies agreed to
invest here, then the US ballistic and wanted a regime change and be
replaced with a puppet>>>

or a stooge to take grab
power in our country by force, and stooge/puppet was pliable to
corporate America and European companies---that puppet/stooge was to

and that puppet/stooge
was Riek Machar or Pagan Amuom. Some idiots in our country are so dumb
that they still don’t know how the Europeans or Americans have been
fooling the foolish Africans like our Riek Machar or Pagan Amuom
through their dirty intrigues for their own ends all along. But for
all l know, the US, the UK, their UN, their creepy NGOs and some
criminals in between have lost it here>>

Kush. Yes of course spla is for dinkas,the only
choice left for da rest of tribes is to form their own movement, stop
blaming others for your own fuckup, stupidity of dinkas of I know
everything and not accepting your mistakes leads other tribes to wake
up and arm them selves, no one to blame only you dinkas.

Kush Natives,
Cool down jienge boy. Read VOA on link "breaking news on South
Sudan" and get back to me. Nonjienges in SS don’t need a comnand, they
act instinctively that they must crush this insect called jienge. The
rest is just automatic. Men at Work. More coming soon.

anyanya1,
If you folks make and you guys already made a mistakes in a
wider sense, putting this senseless war as a tribal war wouldn’t bear
any success from the opposition. There’s single body world-wide will
supports your massacre agendas of waging the tribal war. If Riek
Machar didn’t learned from the 1991 mistake, then don’t finger points
on others or SSG as causative. Rebels MUST reset_____

anyanya1,
their agenda. Otherwise, I don’t see anyway forwards. We
should start being realistic here! I don’t think, if any those tribes
took power from president Kiir today force will stay the power for 12
hours. If this is how we believe things, then we’re at the wrong
planet.
