August 13, 2020 (JUBA) -The National Salvation Front (NAS) said that its fighters managed to repulse an attack by the SSDPF and SPLM-IO on its positions outside Kajo-Kaji of Central Equatoria State and killed three assailants on Thursday.

The increase of attacks and counter-attacks between the government forces and NAS forces in the greater Equatoria region is seen now as a true challenge to the cessation of hostilities agreement in South Sudan.

According to NAS Spokesman Suba Samuel Manase, a combined force of SSPDF and SPLA-IO carried out an attack on NAS positions in Kig’wo area, some 20 km from Kajo-Keji town on 13 August.

Manase further said that their forces defeated the attackers forcing them to retreat after killing three soldiers. He added they lost one of their fighters who was killed during the assault.

On 12 August, Teshome Gemechu Aderie CTSAMVM Chairman expressed concern about the rise of violence in the country particularly the fighting in the Equatoria region between the government and the NAS forces led by Thomas Cirillo.

"All this has the potential to jeopardize the Permanent Ceasefire and Peace Agreement and lose the hard-won gains achieved since the Agreement was signed in 2018," he told the opening session of the CTSAMVM Meeting of the Technical Committee on Wednesday.

In his statement extended to Sudan Tribune, Manase said that the SSPDF continue to build un troops in the Central Equatoria State in preparation for further attacks on NAS controlled areas.

"On 12th August 2020 the SSPDF convoy of ten (10) vehicles from Artillery Unit was dispatched to Pagari and Lobonok respectively, this build-up is to reinforce the enemy in these locations in preparation for the planned offensive against NAS bases".

If Dinka rapists/IG and Nuer looters/IO don’t stop their joined attacks on NAS strongholds, both jienge and nyagats will suffer!They will never find peace in Equatoria.These fucking savages are nothing else but occupiers,who’ve left their stinking areas in Bahr El Gazal and Upper Nile now causing chaos and displacements in Greater Equatoria.If these damned imposters think they can easily come to..

    Since these cockroaches have chosen the path of war, let’s take it. Cockroaches fear fire and smoke and they shall get it abundantly in Equatoria. Kill, hang them and defecate into their mouths. Once NAS comes to Juba, this UNMISS PoC must be dismantled and burnt down and all Nuers sent back to their ancestral lands. They add no value to us. Just waste.

        Michael Makuei stated in clearly that Nuers are like hungry house dogs. They may run away for a while, but return to their master just to get even a meatless bone. See Nuer IO humbly returning to the kiirminal just for food while their own nyagats live in squalid PoC. Who cares? Taban Deng, Riek, Tut Gatluak, Ruai Koang? NO. Their leaders dont give a fuck.

        Exactly. Equatoria has become the comfort zone for jienge and nyagat cockroaches. Once Juba is smoked and burnt, all will have no more hideouts. NAS must bring this war into Juba and we see where all these rats, cockroaches and scavengers will run to. Great that now all roads from Juba are deadly. NAS must intensify this war.

      Capturing towns is foolish, uneconomic and administratively untenable. IO had towns yet could not deliver the most basic services to the Nuers. If that’s your priority, you would see all Nuers return to Ler, Pagak, Bentiu etc. NAS strategy is kill jienge and nyagats who freely roam our holy Equatoria. These worthless cockroaches dont add any human values to Equatoria. Just useless.
15 August 22:44, by Nueri Dial

Equatoria are nothing to Nuer that is why there never been any war b/n them. If you feel hot just b/se of heat from running Dinka, please don’t dare to face Mighty Nuer. The whole Equatoria could be deserted in Just a week and join your Bantu brothers in Uganda

  Come collect your nyagat thrash in Juba PoC. Go back to Nuerlands and kill yourselves like worthless jienges. You disgusting cockroaches are filling our towns without producing anything developmental. Fighting, backstabbing and looking for free food like scavengers is all you can do. Dull brains, even monkeys are more intelligent than you nyagats.

  Why then didn’t you defend yourselves and let your own nyagats get slaughtered like goats in Juba in 2013? Riek Machar is now holed up in Juba like a trapped rat. He can’t travel, he’s not allowed to visit his troops. He can only eat and grow fat and wait to be butchered like an ox. This time no escape through Equatoria. NAS has his ass.

Equatorian people are least respected people in South Sudan, purely because you are not organized groups and don’t stick to ones causes. For instance, how tiny Bor community can occupied a vast majority of your land? There so many Nuer in this country who are siding with you, but your attitudes may drive some a way from supporting our unity

  So you nyagats stuck to your one cause and how far has this brought you in terms of real development? The only thing nyagats have achieved are; positions, free food and lodging in hotels. Nuerland is so backwards that the Nuers voluntarily chose to hide in PoC than return to their ancestral lands. Just wondering how many university educated Nuers are available.

  Just exclude Equatoria from SS and you are left with a country of savages, vagrants, freebooters, idiots and anarchists. See where jiengelands and nuerlands are today?

        Thanks for reminding me about women to be respected! I just notes that Equatoria girls are cheapest b/se they are avoiding Monkey resembling face Equatoria men. Nilotic are the most tallest, and smooth skin people in the whole world. We don’t marry from you guys b/se you are Nyamnyam (food loving).

Procreating with nyannuers or nyanjienges is simply producing half idiot kids with low IQ. Who wants that? Your girls are turning into lesbians or go for Nigerians

      I haven’t seen or heard any Nuer or Dinka women having children with Indians and Chinese. But Equatorian women did it in Australia and New Zealand. Which are very disgusting and disrespect to Africa people in general. And the very reasons they are going with Chinese and Indian are because they are so cheapest and no Africa men want to associate with them

        Which Indians or Chinese would even touch a jienge or nyagat girl? They stink, are careless, dirty and don’t have the needed "wife material". Your girls are like men, scary and ugly and Indians or Chinese are simply frightened. You marry your own girls and produce low intelligent kids. Your only good as cheap security guards, not intelligent professionals.

You are just roaming around like wildlife animals. We Nuer have the richest culture in South Sudan, even if a Nuer man married outside, they always come back home and marry Nuer woman as a 2nd wife

Go wash yourselves clean and come and talk to us Equatorians. You come to us like house dogs, we never go to you, for what?
