May 16, 2015 (Nyamilepedia) — South Sudan’s army has admitted losing Malakal town, the capital of oil rich Upper Nile region, to opposition forces led by Maj. Gen. Johnson Olony.
Fighting started yesterday evening after Gen. Olony’s forces accused government forces of launching attacks on their positions around Malakal.
The army spokesman, Col. Philip Aguer, while speaking to SBS Dinka Radio admits that the government headquarters have lost communication with the field commanders.
“As per now, we have no contact with our soldiers in Malakal but I can confirm that there was a coordinated attack which was led by Olony’s forces jointly with the SPLM in Opposition led by Gen. Tanginya.” army’s spokesperson Philip Aguer told Australia based SBS Radio.
The army spokesperson admitted that Gen. Olony has now left the government and joined hands with opposition forces under the leadership of the country’s former Vice President, Dr Riek Machar.
Alhough the SPLM-IO denies backing the fighting, and the recent capture of Malakal by the militia allied forces, South Sudan’s army spokesperson strongly believes that one of the SPLM-IO’s senior commanders, Maj. Gen. Gabriel Tanginya, is directly linked to the latest assaults on government forces.
Opposition sources, however, indicate that the Anyanya fierce fighter, Maj. Gen. Tanginye, proceeded to Addis Ababa after the SPLM/SPLA Pagak leadership conference and he is yet to return to his assignment.
Fighting started in Dolieb Hills at the out skirts of Malakal where Olony’s forces are mostly based.
According to our correspondent in Malakal town, the fighting intensified and reached Malakal town centre at around 6:30pm, leading to occupation of the towns’ main strategic airport and also the river port.
According to reliable sources on the ground, the opposition forces are now headed towards the country’s only functional oils fields at the norther part of the country, Palouch, a distance of approximately 25 Kms away from Malakal.
Malakal has witnessed many shaky ceasefire deals between the pro-government militia forces, which were reintegrated into the main army systems in mid 2013, and the government forces loyal to Pres. Salva Kiir.
The militia general from the minority shilluck (Chollo) tribe, has fought alongside government troops for the past 16 months of the conflict until last month when his deputy was ambushed and killed by pro-government youth.
Analysts warn that the defection of Gen. Olony, who hails from the Upper Nile’s biggest ethnic group, could switch the balance of powers in the region and dynamics of the conflict in favor of the armed opposition SPLM/SPLA.
Juba has tried many mechanisms including the use of Chollo king and community representatives to resolve the differences between Gen. Olony, and the Governor backed government forces in Malakal but all in vain.

WARNING signs TO ALL NUER AND CHOLO MILLITIA PLEASE DO NOT BE HAPPY IT IS TOO EARLY AND THE POWER OF THE LION KING IS NOT EASY TO CRUSH IT IS JUST MATTER OF TIME AND PEACE INTERESTS.
VERY SOON THE MODERN WAR FARE TACTIC WILL ALWAYS BE IN YOUR BACK YARD AND DOOR STEPS AND VILLAGES AND AREAS..
MARK MY WORDS…
Abuchook,
Your government is over. The economics of South Sudan flushed down into the toilet. If the regime did not defeat the freedom fighters, how about now that Johnson Olony has taken over Malakal. Do you think the regime will resist these two forces? The Might SPLM-10 and Johnson Olong.
Friendly advice the regime in Juba is losing big. Soon all the oil fields will be gone. Those who lick the feet of the regime in Juba must leave Juba now because the regime will not afford to provide them with resources. The greed, and heartless must leave Juba now before they are caught up.
This government is darkness government because the all things that it has been done for us was negative. Now if God bring these strong people together, rhey will clear out the all Upper Nile with in one week. Those who think Their government still work, forgot about your negative government.
Great jobs.
Let Struggle continue.
Victory in Greater Upper Nile Region is Certain!
pls kiir wife look hw cholo are,thy capture makal
Kirr ‘ll hav no spouse any longer.All the girl friends and yow’s(money) lover may have to surrender soon.
Akoka is now under SPLA IO tomorrow there will be fighting in Paloch, Duk, Wadakona, Unity in Unity state and all will fall under SPLA IO Mark my words
It looks Olony and the Nuer rebels have less issue with capturing towns. Their only issue lies with holding their positions especially in the contested Malakal. Because doing so would mean trapping themselves in hell. Nonetheless, the rebels must swiftly win to end this mayhem in the country or be defeated as son as possible.
So Johnson is the president of South Sudan.
Johnson defeated Abuchook of Padang in Malakal and the LDF of Lou Nuers youths are chasing your Bor youths back toward Bor. Your home town Duk was captured with lightening speed. AGUMUT, you and Kuol Manyang Juuk should keep your promises and get your skirts ready. You ganna need to wear them in shame.
If they can remember what they had toldby kuol to reminding themselves whenever the fear strikes in the darkness.
Our Chollo fighters are going to send Padang Dingoes to Bar El Ghazal where they come from. No jokes with Chollo Dinkas have no place in Upper Nile. Salva government will regret
Mr stupid Fox Dinkins or Danish people are Free Lions than they can live where ever they choose to live nothing anybody can do about it, including you our cuisines Denka- Nuer. and Denka Shilluk
If that’s your nightmare,he can rule south sudan since is a loyalist to his father & mother land. He is a brave and intellegent to lead this nation unlike premitive kirr. You have just realised that salvage killer is no longer a recognise by any country. You dinka to survive in south sudan turn you back to premitive immediatelly before’s to late.
Our freedom fighters under command of Lt. general Johnson Olony Thabo will celebrate their victory in Puloich tonight, this is not a joke, it’s warning. Kiir’s food lovers were only given 14hrs to leave Puloich, Maluth, Adarr and Renk pacefully within the given time frame, otherwise they are going to be sent to hell by Chollo force (Aguelek) mark my words
TO my brothers Dinkas and Nuers I want to tell you that, the Chollo are the third force that will determine power struggle between you and if one of you underrate us they will face the consequence of defeat. think of three forces if two join against the other one then they carry the day of victory.
There is no government in South Sudan only collected traders name themselves regiment.
However the killers lose the very strategy town to a visionary freedom fighters had defeated him including his magic man allies.
Ladies and gentleman, you will shortly hear rocket artillery sound around Paloich’s oil field and fall under opposition control. International community shouldn’t being worries about captured of Malakal town by faction and this is a lesson learn by our relative around globe.
Lat Kuem , your Nuer minds of war miscalculation will send you to hell with your big magician GatNuer machar, Nuer never defeated any government and rule , Nuer blessing is to raids cows loots cloths and rape. this are nuer motivation since God created them and that is why they like to be soldiers and joint Nyigat ,where there no law, Nuer had never defeated any government, because they carried all the dirty things of all neighboring tribes to their counties . underwears,clothes ,goats cows, generators,, killing owners all in Nuer hands, God is not stupid to help spoilers, Better Chollo ,they cannot burn their country , they don’t raids other people cattle never , Dinka respect them more then Nuer. Nuer do every things with threat because the are useless in other tribe eyes, at less being respected as terrorist and people fear their live , and that is what Reik is doing ,,crying SPLA chair while was he militia. Nuer is crying to eat oil money ,soooory, let wait war results.
I think that is the good lesson to the government of Juba, why the prioritized a person who had once time a rebel, and ignored their own battling operational commanders, who is Olony to be given that extends?, even the 1st
or one range star SPLA officer is much worthy then him.but don’t celebrates; very soon Olony will soon be capture a lives and he will tell us of SPLA war weaponry and their personnel otherwise Dr. Lam Akol will be Accountable for.
It is a threat to Dr lam akol ah? You all know now no returning to malaka lyeah? no crying yet. The worst is comming in next fews day as they take over paloch. I am hearing the salvage is lossing his mind in juba because every one is trying to leave him.
Bhear Peter,
Don’t talk nonsenses, do you think, General Olony, a brainless like your father, cowboy hat drunker. soon Johnson Olony will crush you soon in Warrap in June after he clean up Paloich, Maluth, Adarr and Renk. Kiir will soon take refugee in Uganda
There ‘ll be no resistance in paloch because no one want to loss his life for kirr(killer) anymore. They will just uncloth thier uniform and cross in to sudan.
Bhear Peter,
What are you going to do with Dr Lam Akol? You and your government touch him, and you will regret very badly. Your government killed Johson Olony’s second man. And you expect Johnson Olony to sit and watch his people being killed?
It seem to be joyable, but its not enough. go go go freedom fighters till u reach paloch!!!!!!!!!

Liel cieth ,Nuer you run like rat, in Malakal last year and you think Chollo ,will remain there ,wait and you see, Dr: Lam Akol and Dr:Reik ,were Arab Militias warriors , and together with their father Bashir, listen to Dinka , CPA, until two Militia Drs : came running to have positions. so now they have stolen all money of South Sudan ,and back to bush. Nuer are randoms fighters and looters spoilers who burnt all the country and want to be respected as tribe to rule never. the power Dinka used in the bush will let them crush Bashir militias ,who promise him that panthou and Abyei will be part of Sudan if Dr: Reik came as president in exchanges of guns . Dr: Lam Akol is potential rebel , and he must not leave Juba. with time he will be doom. Olony soon will be humble by Padang otherwise all Chollo must go to Khartoum to be citizen there , Padang liberators will not listen civilian Militias who give himself rank .
ohohohoh
