A high-ranking military officer told Sudan Tribune on Saturday that
General Paul Malong Awan is in the region to oversee military
operations after renewed clashed erupted in Wau and Raja.
“The chief of general staff is on the mission. He is Bahr el Ghazal
now. He was in Aweil on Thursday and Wau on Friday. He is there to
talk to the local command there and to ensure that they have enough
manpower and military weapons to deal with the recent rebel
activities,” a military source told Sudan Tribune on Saturday.
The military who is not authorised to speak to the press said they
were now refocusing their efforts to addressing security matters in
the region.
“We have refocused our efforts on figuring out what to do to stop the
activities of the rebels,” he said, adding that more troops are now
being mobilised to be dispatched to Raja.
“The issue of Raja requires an urgent attention and is one of the
reasons the chief of general staff is in the region. He is talking to
the division commanders to send more forces to reinforce forces on the
ground. What was in Raja was a brigade but now because of these
operations, there is a need to increase the number of the forces
there. The command is thinking of sending more forces”, he said
Local officials in Lol state have claimed that political differences
between the chief of general staff and governor Rizik Hassan Zachariah
have compromised working relationship.
The differences are seen as the reasons the command has been hesitant
about providing weapons, ammunition or other military support to the
area.

No matter how you try, your tribal dictator leader will never
win this war. War is not solution
For you to control this country. The only solution is peace.
If you chose war instead of peace, you lose.

Mr. Gen. Chief of staff, the only thing that we need to first and
foremost is shutting down the border of DRC & CAR first. Seal off
those two borders before the full operations starts. There’s no any
other choices that the government can do now! We have to discard all
the peace process that we were abiding by since national prays day.

Mr. president, if you’re so scared for whatever reason we don’t
know, then you need get to out of there, and give somebody a chance to
free us out of rebels. We all know that you have been up to peaceful
dialogue since day 1, but rebels took advantage of your kind heart. We
need a heartless human to deals with those thugs who hear through
guns.

We needs to hear in a few days, those nyagaatees, who are still
operative in the jungle of DRC & CAR are cleaned out! Taban himself
MUST be hold accountable, if he can’t controls his forces in the
region. SSIS should pay close attentions to this folding crisis.
Rebels within always hard to defeat, because they’re operating within.

Don’t u know that those wars of previous years were fought by USA
under Obama’s administration?
You are misled by those gangs,so that this year will not be like
the years where your supporters Donald Boost,Susan Rice and John Kerry
uses to reports as "both sides have committed atrocities and crimes
against humanity". This year,there is a man called "Trump"to persecute
any criminal who acts like u.

Cont...If it is not because Dr Riek Machar Teny is worry about our
life in SS,he would just signed an Ally together with any one who can
let him to get the power from Salva Kiir easily. Riek doesn’t like to
get powerby force,because if he needs to get it,definitely since his
forces were advancing towards Juba in the year 2013,he would have
taken the power by force but unfortunately he was advised

Adok son,
Who advise him (Riek)? You thugs better think twice, taking
over this Democratic elected president by force will throwback all
horn of African countries into a hole. All the power thirsty should
first think about that. Now, the government accept zero tolerance
policy of dealing you in the thick forests of CAR & DRC. It will be up
to now rebels to call for peace or not.

Riek was advised or influenced by the Geneva’s protocol that said;
if a leader turned against his own people by killing them and reached
to the stage of Juba’s genocide of 2013,which was carried out by Salva
himself, then the international community is expected by the people’s
movement to come and take Salvakiller as it happened to the president
of Ukraine who had killed 200 civilian

Adok son,
I don’t think you know better about Riek Machar. If you do
know him, much lives lost under TWO genocides that Riek did in 1991
and 2013? We should be accountable, when we says things. 25,000 in
Bor, 17,000 in Ruweng, 23,000 in Balliet, 13,000 in Dong-jol and
37,000 in Warrap, this is 1991 alone, plus 50,000 in 2013 that you
just said. This man become a virus, and MUST be eliminated!

the table.
