March 21, 2017 (PAGAK) - Another foreign oil worker have been captured
by South Sudanese rebels in northern Upper Nile state, nearly a month
after earlier warnings and threats against both local and
international oil explorers in the war-torn nation.

The captive is a Pakistani national who was captured as the rebels and
pro-government forces engaged in another fighting in Adar north of the
oil-rich Upper Nile State.

Rebel spokesperson, Col. William Gatjiath Deng said the fighting
erupted last Sunday, March 19, 2017, and he accused the Sudan People
Liberation Army of starting an all-out of war in areas with oil
productions both in Unity and the Upper Nile States.

On Monday, the South Sudanese Information Minister Michael Makuei
Luether, said four oil workers had been abducted including a Pakistani
national, adding that all of them are part of the DAR Petroleum
Operating Company staff.

However, Col. Gatjiath claims the last weekend battle left 15 SPLA
dead. He says their forces have repulsed the allied forces of Mathiang
Anyor and government loyalist.

“During the intense fighting that lasted for some two hours, the
gallant SPLA-IO forces managed to fight back and repulse the Juba
regime’s aggression, killing fifteen of them on spot, and two SPLA-IO
fatalities,” said Deng.

“While running for their dear lives and retreating in total disarray
into the bushes of Adar, the defeated and visibly exhausted Mathiang
Anyor government forces abandoned one Pakistani oil worker namely Ayaz
Hussein Jamali whom we captured alive and have since relocated to our
Pagak," he added.

He says a similar attack occurred in Lapapam and Lalob in the northern
Unity state between the SPLA-IO and the government forces.

He claims eight pro-government forces have perished in the attack,
leaving behind military trucks loaded with goods seized in good
condition.

“No doubt, the continuous provocation and aggression by the brutal and
ruthless Juba regime against the SPLA-IO positions and bases once
again send a clear message to the people of South Sudan, the region,
the United Nations and indeed the international community that the
Jieng Council of Elders regime in Juba means war by the true meaning
of the word”.

However, the rebels have warned international and national oil workers
to avoid operating on the oil facilities. He says should the oil
workers fail to comply with their advice and order, it would mean
risking individual life.

"The SPLA-IO would like to one more time remind all national and
international oil workers to immediately leave and evacuate from all
the oil fields in South Sudan, since the brutal and ruthless JCE
regime in Juba is using billions of US dollars generated from the oil
production and sale for purchasing more lethal arms; prolonging this
war; intimidating and killing non-Dinka South Sudanese; burning,
destroying and erasing non-Dinka homes and villages,” stressed Deng.

Recently, two Indian oil workers were captured in a similar way after
the rebels accused them of collaborating with the government as they
prepare to attack the armed opposition positions in order for them to
drill more oil wells.

And this piece of shit was alleged to have been written in PAGAK!!
When are these idiots going to open their damn eyes and learn the that
the current war in our country is going to create a war that may
likely engulf the whole region and even the whole world. And it is
simply going to because by the Nuers stupidity of not always reading

These idiots do not understand the current war being fought in
our country through them as pawns/proxies is not going to end very
well. The Indians and Pakistanis have their own ingrained enmities
just like we hate the so-called cloned arabs of North Sudan to death.
Japanese and Chinese have their own historical problems and that they
may settle out>>>

Mr. Kuch,
I already repeated this in many occasions,
especially for the last two weeks of kidnappings issues. The rebels
already found a soft front line, whereby, they (rebels) will kidnaped
as many workers as they could, just for the ransoms from the foreign
workers. I urged the government of South Sudan to closely pay
attention to this new strategy from rebels, because they ran out of
foods.

Kush Natives, something different than the
rebel kidnapping is at the play here. Why the Indians and Pakistanis
of all people. Some idiots in our government have between informed
time and time again to let us bomb the damn UN, the UNIMISS and every
damn white Americans, British people, their evil juus and some of
their criminals in between out of our country>>>

because the evils have been taken our
country and our people’s hostage as their Geo-politically chess game
to toy around with just like they have done in Ukraine, Afghanistan,
Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya and CAR. This is all about our resources and
to encircle China. Because the Chinese companies are wanted out of our
country just like the US, the UK, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and
their other>>>

allies have done in Libya in 2011. By
removing the Libyan government and replace the Chinese companies that
were in Libya with the corporate America, the UK, France, their Qatar,
Saudi Arabia, their evil juus and some of their other allies
companies. But the evil corporate America, the UK, their UN, their
sleazy NGOs, their evil juus and some of their criminals in between
are playing games>>.

Thanks sir,
Mr. Kuch, every government have a core
mandates. Therefore, South Sudan government is looking into this on
every angels, whether its something connected to anything to with an
environmental awareness, or have those foreign oils workers doubled or
found their owns selves agendas of looting the country though an oil
contracts. There most be an individuals from those consecutives__

My very concern now is that, why haven’t we heard any single South
Sudanese kidnapped? Is it mean that rebels is killing whoever they
caught, because they (rebels) wouldn’t get any ransom, correct? Well,
I hope that friends or an allies to rebels are watching or dancing,
whatever, their joys maybe. We, the government will study this issue
promptly, carefully, and we will take a respective decision

The US, the UK, their UN, their sleazy NGOs and some of
their criminals in between have step on the wrong people though. The
evil are using their damn UN, humanitarian aid, donations, their
so-called peacekeeping business scam and their hyped up human rights
as their new 21s colonialism to occupy and colonize other people
countries on the pretext>>>

then other people countries can be plundered just like
the way the countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and other
countries are. But right here in South Sudan, this dirty intrigue is
not going to fly under the sun. Whoever want to be colonized by the
evil white Americans, the British people, their evil juus and some of
their criminals in between will have to take the criminals to their
own>>>
