The rebel spokesperson, Brig. Gen William Gatjiath said their forces
were heading to the oil fields, claims Sudan Tribune could not verity.
“We would, therefore, like to once again remind all oil workers to
evacuate the oil fields in Unity State without any delay,” he said.
The rebel official urged oil workers not to ignore their warnings and
that failure to comply could mean placing their lives at risk.
The rebels, Gatjiath said in statement, are in control of Guit county.
He claimed rebels under the command of Maj. General Tito Biel Wieh of
north division in Unity state, captured the two areas.
Gatjiath further said 20 pro-government were killed while five were
captured, claimed which Sudan Tribune could not independently verify.
Since its independence, South Sudan has relied on oil for all income,
a situation that has significantly compounded the ongoing political
and economic instability due to the fall in crude oil prices globally.
South Sudan, however, got the lion’s share of the oil when it split
from Sudan in 2011, but it’s only export route is through Sudan,
giving Khartoum leverage and leading to the ongoing disputes in
pricing.
A civil war broke out in South Sudan in mid-December 2013 after
President Salva Kiir sacked his former deputy Riek Machar. Tens of
thousands of people have been killed and more than two million
displaced on the country’s worst ever-violence since its secession
from Sudan in 2011.
