South Sudan’s rebels loyal to former first vice president Riek Machar
announced Friday the capture of Bamurie and Jalie areas in Kajo-keji
County after allegedly clashing with government troops.

SPLA-IO deputy military spokesperson Paul Lam Gabriel told Radio
Tamazuj on Friday that their forces managed to capture Bamurie and
Jalie areas and killed dozens of government soldiers.

He admitted that three soldiers were killed and five others were
wounded from their side.

Radio Tamazuj could not independently verify Lam’s claim.
