The leader of the Ethiopian Unity Patriot Front (EUPF), General
Thowath Pal Chay has accused his rebel movement’s spokesperson,
Colonel Pal Ojulu of allegedly being behind the group members’
detention in South Sudan.
The Ethiopian rebel group has been fighting the Addis Ababa government
for a decade, until recently when its leader sealed a deal with
government after mediations involving the Juba regime.
Ojulu, however, dismissed allegations made by the Ethiopian rebel group leader.
“I was not aware of arrest of his groups which he formed in Juba
without the knowledge of South Sudan government and reports of arrests
by South Sudan National Security Service,” he told Sudan Tribune
Monday.
The EUPF spokesperson instead accused the EUPF chairman of having
abandoned his forces and rushed to join the government of Ethiopia,
without coordinating with the rebel leadership council.
According to Ojulu, the Ethiopian rebel group has bases in South Sudan
and that they are supported by South Sudan government.
The rebel official, however, admitted that some members of the
Ethiopian rebels group were arrested in Juba and they were found to
have struck a deal with South Sudan government forces (SPLA).
“The reason behind the arrest of his group in Juba was because they
were buying guns from the hungry Mathiang Anyor militias without the
knowledge of South Sudan government,” he told Sudan Tribune.
Ojulu accused the EUPF leader of allegedly arming Anyuak youths from
South Sudan with an “intention to fight the Ethiopia government which
resulted in the arrest of members of their groups in Juba”.
South Sudanese security officials were unavailable for a comment on the matter.

"South Sudanese intelligence officials have reportedly arrested
six Ethiopian rebels belonging to the Unity Patriot Front in the
capital, Juba." Second, you stated Ethiopian rebel leader accused his
spokesperson for detention in South Sudan. Third, you explained
Ethiopian rebels are operating in South Sudan. Then, you continued to
argue that Mathiang Anyoors sell weapons to rebel.

Continued..."According to Ojulu, the Ethiopian rebel group has
bases in South Sudan and that they are supported by South Sudan
government." Do you see what is wrong with this report? Nobody will
believe as a legitimate report or information. You should stick to the
top and stay out of propaganda. People need to read a legitimate to
find out unbiased information not the other way around.

Continue...you try to persuade the Ethipian government and
other communities that South Sudan is supporting the rebels. Also they
buy their guns from Mathiang Anyoors. As I told you earlier. No one is
going to believe this information is legitimate because of the
contents or the way the information was put together. I don’t believe
it. You quoted the wrong information. Please stick to the topic.
