South Sudan army claims it has expelled rebels from Unity’s Mayom county

By Ngor Arol Garang

October 30, 2011 (JUBA) – The South Sudanese army on Sunday said it had expelled rebel groups from Mayom county in Unity state after they launched a heavy attack on Saturday, which killed 60 rebels and at least 15 civilians.

Phillip Aguer Panyang, spokesman of South Sudan’s army, the SPLA, said on Saturday on state television that the rebels had been “repulsed.” The SPLA have not given figures for their own casualties but the rebels claim to have killed 700.

“Mayom as a county is now under full control of the SPLA,” he said, accusing the north Sudanese government of “sponsoring” rebel activities and operations against the Juba based central government.

South Sudan separated from the rest of Sudan in July as part of a 2005 peace deal. Despite the agreement South Sudan has continued to allege that Khartoum supports insurgencies in the country.

The army spokesman on Sunday denied claims alleging that rebels were advancing towards either Bentiu, capital of Unity State or Kuacjok, capital of Warrap State.

“They are not in Mayom and are not advancing towards any place. They have been expelled and some of some have already been captured,” Aguer said.

A statement from the rebels claims that forces under the command of Major General Mathew Pul Jang and Major General Kolchara Nyang captured Mayom town at dawn on 29 October.

The SSLA say they will now advance towards Bentiu, the state capital, warning civilians and international organisations including the UN to consider evacuating the area.

The rebels claim that four hours after taking Mayom they captured Tomor town, capturing 23 SPLA soldiers, as well as some weapons, and destroying five T-55 tanks.

But the SPLA spokesman Aguer denied that any weapons had been captured by the rebels or that any soldiers had been seized, describing the rebels claims as “concocted propaganda coined up to please their masters in Khartoum.”

Instead it was “the SPLA forces which have actually captured some of them as they tried to run. They are now on the run as our forces are following them,” Aguer said.

Aguer said that that security situation in Mayom is already returning to normal because an increased number of SPLA forces have been deployed to provide adequate security.

    This is not only a shame on Nuers societies that rebellion that has been goingon for years, but it could result as a real punishment to Unity’s communities, as well as the Jonglei State and Upper Nile State not to get development.

    Nuer people need to be careful their action all the time and most importantly, why they let to be fool by Khartoum government being supply with guns to kill your people

    You are too stupid and backward to be from Dinka tribe the cousins of Nuer. Your hatred for Nuer the cousins of Danka also tells many wise people on this forum that you are not our coucin but trying instigate hatred or conflict between cousins! Remember this, fool: Socially, we have no problem with our Dinka cousins but politically yes. Don’t spoil the reputation of Dinka

    The mess in Unity State isn’t because Taban is Governor. Without Taban in Unity not been the Governor, the Unity State could’ve been a disaster now. For those who says the governor should step down are thick in mind! The rebels, they didn’t tell us what they are fighting for.

    This military conflict is not and will never be between Dinka and Nuer cousins as some stupid people try to confuse the situation here, let everyone assimilate this fact carefully please!! Plus; SSLA/M is not a Nuer movement but all people’s movement just like SPLA/M used to be. The war is fought against the corrupt government in RoSS and not against any particular tribe, sectarian groups etc.

    If Taban Deng is the causer according to those RATS, the SSLM/A,can we sacrifice him for the sake of peace in Unity State so that those RATS can lay down their arms and the civilians return home? I would agree and see what will happen next and who will complain. Why can’t those BIG people from Nuer talk to their brothers to stop fighting? or Nuer don’t listen to each other?

    I doubt your knowledge about the intelligence quotient abbreviated as IQ, because if you really know its scientifically meaning you would have not used it as an insult to collective groups of liberation movements whose fighters and politicians don’t originate from the same tribe or ethnic group or a family.

    Genetically, IQ is a continuous genetic variation (characteristic feature) that is affected by both genes and the environmental factors, such as food, upbringing etc. So,it is stupid from you to label all those diverse individuals to have low level of intelligence! Are you saying that SPLA/Mers are also suffering from low IQ too because majority of SSLA fighters come from SPLA.

    You said earlier that Matip should respond to the killing of his wife. I don’t think Matip would take a side because he is not happy with Taban being a governor becuase Taban is a curruption man who try to please his master, Kiir, in Juba. If he respond, his respond would be to remove Taban which would result in Kiir loosing his 2% from Bentui. You got it?

    I am not here to defend Riek Machar or any particular member of the Government of RoSS because as a citizen of RoSS, you have your constitutional or legitimate or lawful right to constructively criticize any leader in RoSS for whatever misconduct. You can also criticize SSLA/M in the same manner but…..

    keep away from generalisation! Don’t insult Nuer tribe because of the alleged misconducts of some of its members. Reik or whoever you wish to single out from Nuer tribe doesn’t need to be defended by me as he/she will carry his/her own cross as long as the criticism concerns her/him. Instigating or propagandising tribal conflict is very dangerous as it could lead to massacres if not genocidies.

    So, calling SSLA fighters as rats, the word that was used by colonel Gadhafi when refering to NTC rebels in Libya is plagiarism indeed!! So,continue using that term but know that you are committing an act of plagiarismis because the word is not yours fool!
