June 15, 2017 (JUBA) – A South Sudanese leading rebel commander Lt.
Gen. Agany Abdel Bagi Ayii Akol, Thursday denied reports that they
were receiving military or logistical support from the neighbouring
Sudan.
"That is not true. We do not get any support from the government of
Sudan or any other government or country in the region. We get our
supplies from the government of South Sudan and the Sudan Peoples’
Liberation Army (SPLA) forces whenever we capture an area and whenever
there are soldiers who decide to leave the government of President
Salva Kiir and join the struggle,” said Lt. Gen. Agany when asked
where they get their support and training from.
The SPLM-IO leading commander further stressed that he left with a
number of troops and arms when he changed allegiance from the
government in 2016.
"I personally left with some weapons and we captured more weapons from
the government when we launched our operations and when some of our
comrades joined later. So these talks of getting support from Sudan
are unfounded, they are baseless," he said.
"They are the talks of someone whose days are numbered. That is why
they are trying to blame others for their own weakness. Who does not
know that the regime of President Kiir is weak and can fall at any
time,” he wondered.
The rebel commander was reacting to statements by Santo Domic Chol,
the South Sudan army acting spokesperson who told reporters in Juba on
Wednesday that armed opposition fighters were receiving support and
training from the Sudanese army.
In comments after clashes in Northern Upper Nile where government
forces had reportedly lost control of strategic towns, Chol further
claimed that Khartoum allowed senior South Sudanese rebel commanders
to coordinate their operations in the Sudanese territory.
Khartoum and Juba trade regularly accusations of support to rebel groups.
In the recent IGAD extraordinary summit on South Sudan peace process,
President Omer al-Bashir accused South Sudanese government of
continuing to provide support to Darfur armed groups in recent
coordinated rebel attacks from South Sudan and Libya.
In a separate development, Paul Lam Gabriel, the Deputy Spokesperson
of the rebel SPLM-IO group denied reports that Ugandan nationals were
joining the war to fight alongside their forces against President
Kiir’s regime.
"The SPLA-IO has access to soldiers with trained reserve forces in
South Sudan who can fight for its cause. We are not fighting for
resources and personal gains but for a cause beyond ourselves,
democracy, respect for rule of law, human rights, dignity and against
corruption,” said the rebel deputy spokesperson.

This is true, rebel get their support after a mass of government
soldiers have been killed. since 2013 there was no any support from
any country around the world and the struggle still continue. So in
2018 the rebel will take the lead in the country and every citizen
will leave a good live where there will be no more unknown gunmen,
rape cases, under development in the country and so on. (Join IO)

I wonder,why these government shits always defend white lies and propaganda?
The SPLA/SPLM-IO get its supports from the fake and nonstrategic
government and non of the government supporters can not say "I don’t
know"
Stealing and telling lies won`t take you anywhere.

Yes i understand what you mean but you should not refer this with
the saying of DR. John during struggle whio defined SPLA support as
the same government that was fighting them which they gained support
from. Khartoum is number one in this war having the agenda of regime
change.
