“The SPLA (IO) Division 2B under the command of Maj. Gen. Mabieh Gar
has successfully dislodged the regime’s forces at Gulumi barrack
outside Morobo county. As of now, they’re being pursued by Brigade 1
under direct command of Brig. Gen. Wal Chuol Lual”, partly reads a
statement extended to Sudan Tribune Wednesday.
The armed opposition’s deputy military spokesman’s statement comes a
day after the South Sudanese defence minister, Kuol Manyang had issued
a 30-days ultimatum for the rebel fighters to either put down their
weapons or return to the young nation to participate in the national
dialogue or risk being crushed militarily.
The capture of the military garrison, the rebels said, occurred after
a long battle which started at 09:00 AM to 01:00 PM (local time) on
Wednesday.
Sudan Tribune was unable to independently verify the veracity of the report.
The government military spokesperson, Lul Ruai Koang said he unaware
of the development, describing the statement from rebels as the "usual
social media propaganda”.
The rebel fighters allied to the exiled former first vice-president
had earlier also issued a statement claiming to have captured Kaya,
Bindu, Kimba and Bazi areas.
The four-year conflict has affected some 7.5 million people who are in
dire need of humanitarian support. Some 15 aid workers were killed
this year until now bringing the number of humanitarians killed during
the four-year conflict to 85 people.
However, the lack of security impedes humanitarian access to the
civilians while the aid workers have become a target for the rival
parties.
Aid actors reported 100 humanitarian access incidents in South Sudan
in June 2017, representing the highest number of incidents recorded in
a single month in 2017 to date. Also, there are 257 incidents of
violence against aid workers and 32 looting attacks on aid convoys.

This is a hit and run propaganda made by rebels and supported by
Sudan tribune. Fake news has a lot of destruction in South Sudan.
Look, how many times have rebels been saying that they are in full
control of Pagak until UN confirmed it recently to be under control of
government, there they kept quit. Now they are shifting to other
propaganda. Shame on you rebels.

I wonder how we judge things in South Sudan. Sudan tribune is only
trusted reporting Media for both country. But the problem is when it
reports something in favour of IO,IG can criticize the Media and
called propaganda and when it is in Favour of IG then IO called
Propaganda.
in that scenario, Sudan tribune is reporting the report that came
from the front line not not their propagani

Delta,
A rumormonger doesn’t make problem instead he’s responsible
for spreading lies and aggravating situation. Sudan tribune like many
other websites often rush to reporting without verifying themselves or
even use commonsense. I’m not talking about this article but here we
know many of Sudantribune reporting turn out to be wrong with some
don’t even make sense in the first place.

SUDAN TRIBUNE is a foreign online tabloid edited in France

created right after our CPA II in 2005, and this was solely to make
unity of South Sudan & North Sudan attractive. But when South Sudan
gains independence in 2011 against the odds of our cloned so-called
arabs of North Sudan. Then our enemies who used to sponsor>>>>
