July 7, 2017 (PAGAK) - South Sudan armed opposition forces loyal to
former First Vice-President, Riek Machar said they repulsed
pro-government attacks in Torit, Mangok, Mathiang, Malou and Biot on
Friday.

The rebel spokesperson Brigadier Gen, William Gatjiath said the recent
attack undermines efforts to bring peace to the country.
The clashes, the official said, occurred as pro-government forces
allegedly tried to regain areas controlled by the rebel forces.
“In the Mangok, Mathiang, Malou and Biot fighting, the gallant SPLA-IO
[South Sudan armed opposition] forces of Division Five (5) under the
command of Cdr Major General Khor Chuol Giet and Deputy Sector Four
(4) Commander Major General Peter Lim Bol resisted and repulsed the
Juba regime aggression from the Guelguk direction back to their Malou
temporary trenches, where their remnants are now being contained,”
Gatjiath said in a statement.
He also claimed pro-government forces suffered heavy losses as they
attempted to advance towards territories held by the SPLA-IO.
Sudan Tribune could not independently verify claims made by the rebels.
The SPLA-IO deputy spokesperson, Lam Paul told Sudan Tribune that
fighting erupted Friday between their forces and government troops
around Boro Medina in Western Bhar el Ghazal region.
He claimed the armed opposition forces regained more territories near
Raja and repulsed several attacks from government-allied forces.
13 militias allied to the government were killed and two others
injured, said Lam, adding that they captured seven AK-47 guns.
Meanwhile, the armed opposition is calling on the United Nations,
African Union and the international community to hold Juba responsible
for the brutal and ruthless killing of civilians in South Sudan.

Where is the cease-fire that has been declared recently by the
failed president Salva Kiir if Pagak has been besieged?? We have been
telling the South Sudanese and the world at large, that this foolish
president is not interesting in peaceful mean thinking he has an upper
hand to defeat IO militarily which is a wishful thinking. I’m happy to
see the truth is coming to light slowly!!!!

William Gatjiath, IO lost the war since April 2014. Don’t
encourage Gajaak Nuer youths to die for a lost cause with lies. Pagak
is going to fall sooner than later. It is only wise to spare the
precious lives of the current Nuer youths so that they can continue to
beget the Great Nuer of tomorrow and forever.
