has gained control of the headquarters of armed opposition forces,
displacing over 25,000 civilians without humanitarian assistance.

Former rebel leader Johnson Olony speaks to the press upon arrival at
Juba international airport on 13 June 2013 (ST)
The SPLA spokesperson, Colonel Santo Domic said government forces took
Kodok town on Wednesday after three days of fighting with armed
opposition fighters under the overall command of Johnson Olony, who
allied himself to the SPLM-IO led by the exiled former First Vice
President, Riek Machar.
The military spokesperson said they were forced to take the town
because they have reports that civilians trapped in the rebel-held
areas were starving and the government was being blamed for denying
humanitarian access to the place.
Ten days ago a group of 10 Shilluk tribal leaders in the Upper Nile
accused Olony of killing officers from the Agwelek section of the
Shilluk tribe in Panyikang County. The rebel general also belongs to
the same tribal section.
Gen. Johnson Colony and his troops joined the SPLA in 2013 when he
returned from Sudan after accepting a presidential amnesty. However he
joined the SPLM-IO in July 2015.
In April 2015, Johnson Colony defected and captured the capital of the
oil-rich Upper Nile state, Malakal, and Melut, headquarters of Melut
county which is adjacent to the main oilfields of Paloch, in joint
operations with SPLA-IO rebels before the towns were retaken by the
government.
The international medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors
without Borders on Wednesday announced that nearly 25,000 people have
been displaced by intense fighting between in Kodok between the
government forces and the rebel fighters.
"The humanitarian organisations that have, up until now, been
providing essential medical services, water, food, non-food items, and
shelter have had to temporarily suspend activities on the west bank of
the Nile because of the increasing insecurity," further said Marcus
Bachmann head of MSF mission in South Sudan
The statement expressed deep concern for those who would be forced to
trek across the border to Sudan in search of safety in refugee camps
if they do not get protection.

town or a city can not end war, but capturing Kodok will send out a
very strong message to traitors and betrayers that if you mess up with
us SPLA will not have any mercy on you and you will pay very dear
prices. You see Jubaone, war is not funny to wage it under computer.
