No need to stay in A/A if there is no peace anymore, don’t only repulse these thug back pursue them up to Renk and capture it so that they call you to sign deal in A/A. Very soon they will go to media that Freedom fighter want to overthrow elected government by force while they are advanced to their strong positions now
Thank to do that
That is what they need to do let freedom foughter refuse that
Do not mention the name of Gen. Johnson Olony every time you get defeated. As I said last time you go and fight Salva Kiir in Juba do not waste your time fighting ghosts. Olony’s case is different and has self-defense element not political agenda. tell your thugs to understand that.
You could have lured him to your side had you acted differently when you invaded Malakal and you could have benefited from the known Shilluk position against Kiir.
payinjiar boy
that is what they need let freedom fighters to do that
It is good to hear that, let it continue till the freedom fighters capture Malakal!
Juba will accept to negotiate if this happen.
i have seen freedom fighters from both side,bcoz both sides commited attrocities.
i have not seen freedom fighters from both sides bcoz either side committed atrocities, so do not deceive public with the word freedom
Those who dream of machar ruling the south should prepare a place for him in his master palace in Khartoum rather than Juba,the rebels needs to wait until Jerusalem falls into the hands of the [Hamas].
I profess that dreaming to defeat the gov,t would be a nightmare and disastrous on the rebels’ side, due to much power lust by Riek who is misleading you.Never will you win this war except through peace bad luck.
Ater, when will you mentally challenged people comprehend that the war has nothing to do to bring Riek Machar to power? Keep living under illusion..had you not killed innocent Nuer in Juba our country wouldn’t be in flame today. And for Wau, if your tribal government is that powerful then why import mercenaries and sell the country to foreigners. Some of you thick skull headed cannot reason beyond your noses.
What about UNMISS Camps?
Bros, if u die 4 looking a position, or hopping 4 a good life, and was not proposed to u by Almighty God, u will never, never get it.
Gog has purpose 4 u.
During 15-18th December could you mention any foreigners who fought alongside gov’t in Jba if nuer were not blindfold name of nguendeng (Satan) by your idiot reik marchar. Qn is if Salva Kiir is believe in Jesus the Christ Lord and riek marchar believe in nguendeng (satan, evil ) who will be a winner to this war ( since riek had defeated in 2013 upto now)
