November 19, 2018 (JUBA) - The SPLM-IO denied claims they attacked the positions of the holdout National Salvation Front led by Thomas Cirilo (NAS-TC) in Jubek State pointing the clashes occurred between defectors and fighters loyal to the leader of the rebel group.

In a statement released on Monday, Lam Paul Gabriel, SPLA-IO Deputy Military Spokesperson said that Brig. Gen Peter Yugu Laku and Col. Augustino Modi together with 90% of their fighters returned to the SPLA-IO after dissatisfaction with the NAS TC. The two had defected from the SPLA-IO in August 2017.

"The SPLA IO would, therefore, like to strongly refute the accusations made by NAS TC in their press release dated 18/11/2018, that the SPLA-IO made a joint operation against its forces in Lobonok," said.

"Gen Yugu’s defection back to the SPLA-IO is a threat to NAS TC in Lobonok leading to him being targeted by NAS TC forces," he stressed.

He added the forces loyal to Cirilo sought reinforcements from Lainya to attack the splinters forces led by Gen Yugu. However, the latter intercepted the additional fighters loyal to Thomas Cirilo at the riverside; they were fought back and scattered by the SPLA IO force.

The UN peacekeeping mission and the ceasefire monitoring body report frequent clashes between the South Sudanese army and the SPLA-IO with the NAS-TC.

Aware of the situation, the IGAD Council of Minister threatened to label the non-signatories as spoilers of peace, opening the door for the imposition of targeted sanctions on its leaders who are based outside the country.

Gabriel further said they never carried out a joint attack with the South Sudanese army against NAS TC force in Lobonok or anywhere.

"NAS should take responsibility of their own mess and avoid negative propaganda against the SPLA-IO," he added.

Welcome back to IO Brig. Gen Peter Yugu Laku and Col. Augustino Modi. I am laughing at Cirillo.

    Mitot,
    
    You need an atom of patriotism in you to talk about South Sudan issues. South Sudan is not your village for playing. Our people need freedoms, genuine peace and a system of governance that eliminates all loop holes that can cause future wars for greed, nepotism, corruption and tribalism. Thomas Cirillo is right in standing for truth and political equality in the country.

      Where were you all this time? I thought you joined Thomas Cirillo. Anyway, you are very right about the things you said in your comment above except I disagree with you about Cirillo’s position. Good system and freedoms are in our current peace agreement, so what is Cirillo’s problem?

        Those good things you mentioned are in your terms and not the general public. When civil, religious, women, youth organisations were not allowed to deliberate on those terms of the so called peace agreement and for those who participated in the agreement were threatened with deportation to Juba dungeons by Jallaba you should macroscopically know what is in the offing. Avoid disseminating lies.

        Cirilo is a South Sudanese who stand for human values that you have deviated from. As a citizen he has a right to question the ills your people have brought upon the citizens of the country. He has support for the truth he stands for both locally and internationally. He is standing against immorality you have brought to our societies by the use of guns that are obtained under our names.

Those foolish enough would think Cirilo is crying out for help. By the way, SPLA can go ahead to implement their peace in this state of abeyance of military operations. The regime is free to enlist into its ranks the jenge cattle keepers in that area. The momentum for countermeasures is gathering! The jenge love for cattle should be explored....!

I thought the Jingoists of Equatorianism would be wise and intelligent enough to read writings on the wall. Imagine combined/joint forces of SSPDF and SPLA-IO swinging into military actions against the ragtage village gangs called NAS TC? It will be deadly and destructive to Equatorian villages and civilians in these unfortunate villages. Better be wise and intelligent Equatorians and make peace.

  Lenin Bullshit,
  
  That exactly plays out the script! SSPDF, SPLA-IO, etc all round up to the monsterous militia outfit: the neferious SPLA. The plan to wipe out Equatoria from the face of southern Sudan (then) and South Sudan (now) is in the public domain - not a secret! Equatoria cannot be held hostage to make peace at the expense of SPLA!

    No one should kill innocent people of Equatoria. These are South Sudanese citizens and they have nothing to do with rebellion of wicked man called Cirillo. We will go after him because is a rebel. Our citizens in Equatoria will get full respect from our government. Our problem is with rebels, not with our innocent people of Equatoria.

      You just make me feel sad. Citizens of Equatoria are South Sudanese and our government should protect them from any harm. This is the only reason I say peace is the best for everyone in our country. Riak said it very clearly when he came to Juba that there is going to be one army with all tribes in it, there is going to be federal system in our country, so what does Cirillo want?

        The Nuer were not in the SPLA from 91 to 2006, so stop peddling this nonsense. The Nuer were also eclipsed by the various Dinka Bahr el Ghazal militias in every conflict zone since this war began. Only one Nuer section worked with Salva Kiir and even then they were far less prominent than the Dinka division from Bahr el Ghazal that captured most of Unity State...
        
        20 November 2018 15:39, by Khent
        
        The UPDF only deployed around 3, 000 men in all of South Sudan when Kiir leaned on them to supplement his small Dinka force and to replace the Nuer that joined Riek as soon as the war broke out. The moron (Salva) allowed the Nuer to account for over 70% of the army after their return in 2006 from Khartoum’s service.

        Your narrative is simply an attenuation of jienges glorification and unfailing warrior skills. I don’t buy into that nonsense. Again, you can’t tell our readers why jienges fled en masse and fought predominantly in Equatoria while your areas remained more or less grazing plains. You can’t tell me jienges fought in our backyards while our youth or Nuers acted as militias.

        What you’re willing to believe is irrelevant. I think I’ve told you on multiple occassions now that the Nuer had tens of thousands of fighters fighting for Khartoum before 91 and doubled that after 91, so you can’t simultaneously maintain that they were steadfast in their committment to the struggle while serving Khartoum...
        
        20 November 2018 21:06, by Khent
        
        Your denials are irrelevant. Equatoria produced multiple Khartoum compliant miltias; Khartoum enthusiastically armed and supplied the Mundari militia, the Bari dominated Popular Resistance Movement/Army, the Equatorial Defence Force and a multitude of tribes like the Toposa, Lotuka, Didinga, and many others as part of its militia network...
        
        20 November 2018 21:12, by Khent
        
        Equatoria was of strategic value due to its proximity to the crucial Ugandan and Kenyan borders... the areas where we got our weapons, ammunition, fuel and supplies from; there is this thing called logistics and it’s of tremendous importance. Equatoria did not bear the brunt of the war in a population sense. Mour-Mour division held most of Bahr el Ghazal - the Dinka heartland..
        
        20 November 2018 21:33, by Khent
        
        Equatoria was where the world’s humanitarian agencies were located and is the exit point to friendly States, so yeah, you have no point. The Equatorial Defence Force was commanded by Martin Kenyi and the Popular Resistance Movement/Army was commanded by Alfred Lado Gore and these men and their militias were supported by Khartoum, so I don’t understand what purpose your denials are meant to serve.

        Men like Thomas Cirillo constantly oscilated between the movement and the enemy during the war with Khartoum, but people would rather believe the fantasy that he’s always been principled. Thomas Cirillo only defected to the SPLA in 92 and again rejoined Khartoum before his return in the 2000s and we’re supposed to believe that Equatoria consort with Khartoum on a large scale.

        So that this doesn’t degenerate into a 2-man discourse, your acknowledgment of Equatoria’s strategic relevance as opposed to jiengestans is important. Without Equatoria and its relevance, SPLA would be squeezed into a tribal enclave devoid of any national character. To assert that jienges "solely" liberated SS while Equatorians, Nuers, Collos were mere spectators is jienge ludicrous narrativ

        How many times must I stress to you that two areas can both be strategic without cancelling each other out in relation to this quality? Dinka territory was also of importance in the sense that it accounts for the bulk of the land border with the North. The Dinka areas of Greater Upper Nile are where Khartoum got the oil to prosecute the war, so how can that not be important?
        
        20 November 2018 22:15, by Khent
        
        I’m sorry that the Nuer all joined Khartoum in 91 and that the Shilluk followed Lam Akol and that Equatoria had dozens of militias armed, supplied and supported by Khartoum. The Nuba and our cousins in Southern Blue Nile were the only groups that did not support Khartoum. These areas were devastated just as much as Dinka territory.

        In the absence of any historical and cultural highlights, of course jienges would seek anything to put themselves into limelight. Arguably, you’d allude, the Equatorian Corps who single-handedly started Anyanya 1 where jienges joined in as latecomers was irrelevant. Was it not your uncles like Abel Alier who on behalf of his jellaba patrons signed the AA in 1972?

        There is no absence of historical material demonstrating that the Dinka provided the bulk of the troops during the second civil war. Sure, you started Anya-Nya as the first National movement but this is preceded by centuries of continous resistance by the Dinka, Nuer and Shilluk to the Arabs. The Shilluk even burnt down sections of Khartoum in the 17th Century...
        
        20 November 2018 22:37, by Khent
        
        ..and the Dinka removed the Arab subjects of the Funj from tens of thousands of km2 from Upper Nile in the 17th Century. Anya-Nya was just the first resistance with National dimensions but it’s rather late (by Centuries) in the grand scheme of things. Abel Alier was not supported by the Dinka and NEVER had Dinka troops fighting for him on Khartoum’s behalf, so try again.

        Do you think I care if the Dinka are called savages and wicked? I agree with you on this issue... they are morally bankrupt, violent, selfish, greedy animals that I don’t much care for.

        ..The Dinka are among the worst people on the face of the earth; the Nuer had a far superior culture to the Dinka until they incorporated certain aspects of Dinka ’spirituality’ in the 18th Century. The Nuer have been more principled, open and more trustworthy people for centuries until the mid 80s and early 90s. Call the Dinka whatever you want, but they are not cowards...
        
        21 November 2018 00:39, by Khent
        
        The Dinka produced traitors during the war with Khartoum, but those men did not have tens of thousands of Dinka militiamen with them, and this is not because the Dinka are better people... it’s because they don’t accept anyone having any power over them, and the hated Arabs are no exception. It’s all about power competition to them. The Dinka (even when not qualified) is obsessed with leadership..

        The Nuer ruined their chances in the 90s by establishing an alliance with the enemy. Salva Kiir was a moron for allowing a competing tribe to account for over 70% of his ’army’. The ’Army’ should have been based on the 3 Regions, and each Region should have provided an equal amount of troops with an equal amount of firepower; each unit of 9 soldiers should be from 9 different tribes...

        Where jienges have miserably failed to defeat Riak’s IO, they desperately hope this new alliance will ensure absolute control and demise of Equatoria. Must jienges often cry for foreign help and in the pretend to be the victors? Equatorians alone can fight jienges that I’m 100% sure cuz fighting is not a jienge monopoly.

  Jienges have failed to defeat the IO and are desperately in need of help from IO to fight NAS. Funny, most IO based in Equatoria are themselves Equatorians and are reluctant to be enticed by cowardly Jienges. Getting Nuer IO to fight in Equatoria will need huge military logistics and manpower and the Nuers are clever enough not to fight for jienge cowards and losers.

    Scenario 1: Nuer IO will accept and will be transported to various locations where NAS is based. The trick is to get so many Nuers killed in the frontlines while jienges sit comfortably in offices. Nuers vs Equatorians and in the end, jienges will prevail. That is the heinous and evil plan.Scenario 2: Nuers will accept and come to Juba in large numbers. Once consolidated they stage a coup and requ

Kew Gatluak has been very instrumental in getting all Nuers including Changson Chang, Peter Gatdet, Gen Monytuil Wejang agree the R-ARCISS and assemble in Juba. One thing is sure, there’s a repeat of Dec 2013 and real showdown. Jienges must be prepared.

        So Lenin Bullshit, it’s unlikely that IO will gang up with SSDF to fight NAS. It’s a military and human risk IO can’t undertake given the actual situation on the ground. The exposure of this heinous plans will be a bitter reminder to Nuers whose liberation struggles have been downplayed by jienges who as impostors wittingly crowned themselves as "sole liberators".

        On the other hand, renegade Equatorian Cdrs are well warned that joining or fighting for the jienge republic is fatal and and hopeless. Equatorians therefore, should refrain from any military encounters that would endanger their lives and those of the Nuers. Jienges must battle it all alone or make compromises. The jienge republic must be destroyed for a federal, free, equal and just SS. Anything

        I agree with you on many issues but you keep asserting the laughable accusation of Dinka "cowardice" no matter how many times you’re refuted on this matter. Did the Nuer fight after 91? Did the Shilluk? What about the Murle? What about the various Khartoum supported Equatorian militias?
        
        20 November 2018 14:52, by Khent
        
        I’ll readily concede that the Dinka have cultures with a complete absence of accountability for one’s actions; cultures that encourage child-like behaviour, greed, irresponsibility, arrogance, laziness, envy, ingratitude, rumour-mongering, back-stabbing and emotional manipulation but "cowardice" is not one of their character flaws.

Why take the dangerous burdens of rebellion up on the shoulders of Equatorians when it was not really started by and for Equatorians? Do you know that continuing fighting in Equatoria by NAS TC will shift the focus and war theatres to Equatoria? Will that benefit your beloved kids and wives and parents? Be wise Equatorian compatriots and join us in peace preaching rather than warmongering.

  Lenin Bullshit,
  
  The burden has been left on you to define WHO the Equatorian is.....Nobody CAN denigrate the Cirilo family, not even the jenge man who was charged with emptying the bucket latrines at Buluk and Hai Amarat! Major General PSC Peter Cirilo is a name that rings a bell! A PSC fellow...!

  Lenin Bullshit
  It’s evident that jienges have made other areas battle grounds as their junk states degenerate into grazing areas or peaceful islands that have stagnated in development. Equatoria has long turned into a "human dump site" where worthless miscreants are busy looting and killing our people. Equatoria is a battle ground and shall remain so as long as jienges squat.

    Peace is contingent on peope actually being reasonable, conscientious and morally consistent, so I can’t blame Equatorians for not going along with an entirely farcical "peace agreement" that completely fails to address the root cause (s) of the conflict...

      ..and just obscenely caters to the Sovereignty-negating entrenchment of political and economic influence (and power) by our neighbours — Sudan and Uganda. Do people really not see the parallels between what "Southerners" demanded prior to Sudan’s independence and what people are now demanding in South Sudan!?

It will definitely take 100 years or so to understand those two monkeys believe on one. Jubaone and Eastern are dead stone, we really don’t understand what they want, we need Equatorian people to look after those cowardice, they’re putting Equatorian into uncreated equation. When we call for peace, they’re not there, and war they’re not there. What’s the hell?
- 20 November 2018 14:35, by jubaone
  
  Eastern,
  Did you understand what the Bush Natives (Nigga) really meant by ..."Equatorian people to look after those cowardice, they´re putting Equatorian into uncreated equation?" Is there some mathematical equation involved that we cant see? Or is this jienge intellectualism of the cheapest order? Wow

    I am not keen on following what these former Khartoum street shoeshiners write. I have not understood what that THING meant.

    jubaone,
    I don’t think there are superior educated Baris than the Dinkas/Jenges in South Sudan trust on this on this chap. You can accuse the Dinkas/Jenges about being ’lazy & arrogant’ and you can easily get away with it. But the Dinkas/Jemges being ’savages & cowards’ are ones of them. For those of us who know you Baris like the palms of our hands, you are least educated & are the dirties>>>>

      probably followed by the Dinkdingas, most of your tribe-mates often openly relieve themselves on the streets of Juba of your Juba. While I was long time ago in then Eastern Eastern Equatoria, the Dinkdingas do the same thing right behind their huts and they seem not smelt anything. But as always, it is always the Dinkas/Jenges fault. It has becomes a norm from some sections of Greater Equatoria>>>

        that if their wives refused to cook them food or give them alcohol (marisa), then it is the Dinkas/Jenges fault. I for one, can’t find anything that the Baris ever done better than others in South Sudan other than to always complain about their damn Juba. Little do the idiots know that their damn Juba is the national capital of South Sudan & with the national capital, people around South Sudan>>>

        would always be pulled to Juba because that is where most of the services are. And this is only Juba but cities around the world attract people of all kinds into & that is why there always slums areas like in Kampala, Nairobi, Lagos, Mumbai if India is where the biggest slum on earth is. I don’t know what civilization the Baris often talk about, when they just seem not know this simple facts>>>

Our Pakam Dinka/jieng section of greater rumbek and their neighbors still even still each others’ cattle. Something that is not existent with other Dinkas/Jiengs sections. In Atuot, Ciech and Aliab Dinka/Jiengs of greater lakes states, they don’t this cattle theft anymore>>>

        some scrupulous individuals do sometimes low themselves down though, but on rare cases. I know this because when I was tiny little boy, we sometimes used to cross the Nile with our cattle to Lakes states & our cattle were never stole by anyone and until we can cross back to Jonglei on our terms with no problems at all. The whole of today’s Jonglei, no one still anyone cattle>>>

        But the Murles of today’s Boma state are the ones who always still our cattle and our babies. But I think, the Murles were taught a very tough & good lesson two years ago by the Jonglei state citizens. Back to Savagery of the Dinkas/Jenges, wasn’t it the Baris who used to stop the commercial vehicles and ordered the Dinkas/Jenges out and kill them>>>
