August 27, 2017 (JUBA) - South Sudanese rebel fighters allied to the
exiled former First Vice President Riek Machar have issued a statement
claiming to have captured Kaya, Bindu, Kimba and Bazi.
“Yesterday morning (Saturday 26) at exactly 06:00 hour (local time),
our joint operations forces of division 2B under the command of Major.
General John Mabieh Gaar successfully launched a coordinated attack on
Kaya, Bindu, Kimba and Bazi. Our forces flushed the enemies out of
Kimba, Bazi, Bindu and in Kaya, the enemy forces are confined at the
Ugandan border,” said Col. Lam Paul Gabriel, SPLA-IO Deputy Military
Spokesperson.
The deputy rebel military spokesperson also claimed that their force
killed 56 government soldiers including the commander of Bindu base
who was a Major and a Captain from the government military
intelligence unit in Kaya known locally as Malis.
Furthermore, he said they seized (1) 12.7 mm machine guns, six (6) PK
machine guns, four (4) RPGs and twenty-eight (28) AK47 were some of
the military equipment and assets they captured during the operations.
He said they lost three (3) fighters and 15 wounded.
From his part, the deputy military spokesperson of the government
forces confirmed clashes have occurred between the two rival forces He
said the SPLA killed up to 16 armed opposition fighters, three
government soldiers with six others sustaining injuries during the
military operations in Kaya, Yei River State.
Colonel Santo Domic said that the attack occurred at 06:20 am and
lasted until about 07:20 local time.
“Three SPLA soldiers were killed and 6 others injured. Fighting
finished and the SPLA forces went to inspect the combat zone and were
surprised to find among the 16 dead bodies the body of a white man,"
he said referring to the U.S. journalist killed during the fighting.
The South Sudanese government accuses the rebels of refusing to stop
the fighting in line with the ceasefire agreement. The SPLM-IO from
its part accuses Juba of breaching the peace agreement and attacking
their positions in the country.
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.

Lie and lies of rebels. They are very desperate to release any
fake news. We have seen rebels from Equatoria on AlJazeera TV. They do
not have guns, they were tired, they were thin, and no food to eat.
Soldiers like that can not fight any war.

Kaya, Bindu, Kimba and Bazi. Very confused elements, an IO bandits
become strong in the media/keyboards warmongers. IO, you can capture
every town on your desktop, laptops, and smart devices that you have,
but the reality is down here. Rebels now are part of those 1 million
refugees in Uganda, there’s no none rebels in Equatoria to capture any
Boma, let alone county.
