June 26, 2017 (JUBA) – South Sudanese rebels allied to the country’s
former First Vice-President, Riek Machar say they provided safe
passage for Uganda soldiers who returned from their mission in the
Central African Republic (CAR) via Kaya on South Sudan’s border with
Uganda.

The deputy spokesperson for the armed opposition, Col. Paul Lam
dismissed reports that the South Sudanese army (SPLA) crossed into
Kaya for the first time after failing to access it on several
attempts.
Lam said their intelligence got information that Ugandan troops were
returning via Yei-Kaya road to Koboko district in the West-Nile.
“The Juba government claimed that its forces captured Kaya town on
23/06/2017 after coming from Yei. That convoy included Uganda People’s
Defence Force that returned from their base at the border of the
Central Africa Republic and South Sudan. Juba militias just found a
way out with the presence of the UPDF. The SPLA-IO does not attack
foreign soldiers on a mission not related to the destruction of South
Sudan,” Lam told Sudan Tribune on Monday.
Kaya, located along Uganda-South Sudan border, and is one of the
busiest areas in terms of businesses and other trade-related
activities.
The rebels also refuted accusations that its forces abducted people
and raided hundreds of cattle from Moyo district, north of Uganda.
“This is a baseless allegation aimed at derailing the good
relationship that the civilians of Kajo-Keji have with the people of
Moyo. The government of Juba has got two bases at the border of Moyo,
Jale and Bamure. It’s unfortunate that the forces from these two bases
always enter with their weapons into Moyo,” stressed Lam.
Sections of the media in Uganda reported that unknown armed men from
neighbouring South Sudan entered into Uganda and seized several heard
of cattle from Moyo town last week. The rebels, however, denied any
involvement in the cattle raid, calling for further investigation into
the matter by authorities in Uganda.
The South Sudanese army said Friday that it gained control of Kaya
town on the border with Uganda, confirming previous reports of clashes
in the area between the government forces and the armed opposition
fighters.
A high-ranking military officer, who declined to be identified because
he is not authorised to speak with the media told Sudan Tribune that
their troops entered Kaya after several months of on and off fighting
with armed opposition forces.
“We have just entered Kaya this afternoon. There was no fighting. We
arrived peacefully from Yei town. The situation appears to be
normalising and this is why we came to open the road," said the army
general.
"We will be coordinating our operation with colleagues from Uganda
defence forces who will be stationed on the side of the border. Our
security strategy and plans of action will be coordinated," he further
said.
A legislator representing an area covering Kaya at the National
Legislative Assembly in Juba said he received reports from local
people that a heavily armed convoy of more than 10 vehicles had
entered Kaya on Friday afternoon after a platoon of soldiers first
entered on Thursday through the Yei-Kaya road.

Newsudan,
If Kaya were captured by SPLAnyors as reported, this would
have been done by the official spokesperson of the SPLA Dominic Chol.
This was not the case, neither was he even aware. Just wait and see.

What the SPLAnyor have done in Equatoria can only be
measured by the rate at which refugee camps are filling up in Uganda.
They can be called any names by any patriotic South Sudanese. Jubaone

When Riek Machar & some of his Nuers were running
in the greater Upper Nile & were calling other people online, mostly
the Equatorians & others to join their aimless armed rebellion. The
Equatorians were cautioned not to heed the Nuers online call to join
their aimless armed rebellion because joining that aimless armed
rebellion would bring war to Equatoria & their villages>>>

But unfortunately, some Equatorians let their balls carry them away &
joined their Riek Machar’s last year in July. Started calling the

Dinkas/Jiengs who have nothing to do with Salva Kiir government. But

Non whatsoever. Some of these Equatorians who ran to Uganda went there

those innocent Equatorians to run to Uganda & they can be resettled in

Mr. Kuch; let me ask

insulting are the ones that gave as the so-called Independent of South
Sudan as they stood with us from day one of SPLA/M rebellion; have you
forgotten the history or where you young during the liberation
struggle? the US, UK are people/nations that are friends to the people

Kuch,
If Equatorians joined the SPLA under Garang
and later IO under Riak, then this is a response to a patriotic call.
But if you interpret that as mindless act of simply following others,
Equatorians are now set to transform this dynamic for ever.
Equatorians now don’t need the SS but SS desperately needs Equatoria.
Hold on!

Peace for All,
What we are seeing is a transition from at least a
discplined army under Dr. Garang to a reckless and untrained village
scouts/militias disguised as an army under the Kiirminal. These are
SPLAnyors. If Kiirminal were to lead such a bunch of undiscplined,
visionless and tribal army for independence, we could have just
forgotten about SS independence.

Just Keep your jienge nonsense and bullshitting. While
we struggled in the SPLM, you kept selling second hand clothes in the
streets of Khartoum or shoeshining jellaba morkoub. You dont have to

These thugs rebels never cease and desist from lying, how would

Why until today, has the official spokesperson Brig. Domic
Chol NOT acknowledged the entry of SPLAnyors in Kaya? He was even NOT
sure that they would go that far. Do you know the route from Yei to
Kaya, or do you simply see in the map? It is just inaccessible now for
nyors. Try and you may be lucky, if you still can get naked to Kaya.

Most of you in here are illiterate dinkas. How can you support a

exile in south africa? Youre illiterate leader kiir has plunged the
country into a war, he has ruined the economy. If it wasnt for riek
machar there would be no south sudan.

Let me remind you that john garang wanted a united but secular
ssudan.. something that would be impossible. So the next time you
dinkas and nuerwew celebrate independence day remember whos idea it
was to create a south sudan. It didnt come from a dinka. It came from
a Nuer. And that same nuer is what saved thousands of you from being
slaughtered in jonglei in 2013 by gadet yaka. Riek is a democrat

which weed are you chewing? bhang is it
yes Dr Garang was unionist unlike Kiir n Riek, the duo are known
separatists.
Dr John strategies was:
Plan A Newsudan
plan B self determination
now how do Riek became advocate for separation rather than back
stabbing SPLM in 1990s,A man that always reversed the success of SPLA
that was on verge of capturing Juba by 1991.

27 June 10:55, by john locke
The spla was never on the verge of capturing Juba in 1991.infact
it was because of the spla that the sudanese population nearly died of
starvation in 1991. Garang was a man who treated the movement like his
own business. If it wasnt for riek there would be no south sudan. So
thank him for independence. Your garang wanted a united sudan that
would never happen.than kiir killed him.

You jiangs are disgusting people. You kill youre own peoplle than
try to claim that you are the only ones who fought for independence.
The only reason why nuer didnt capture juba in 2013 is because riek
did not want to risk a regional war. Wait until a nuer leader more
aggressive than riek comes along. You jiang will miss riek.
