“The rebel of Reik Machar” vs The terrorist ethnic regime of Kiir. I don’t know which catchprase sound more worst than the other. Jaang should just stick to what they coined as “Nuer Rebellion”
Now the rebels admitted that, they did attacked pro government adding that, they managed to retakes three locations within Ayod county. Later when the government strikes too hard to recaptures more like what happen in North Upper Nile State when thousand left death then, the rebels will complains too much and I think the pro Juba’s government will go beyond to retakes three counties in Jonglei State. Please keep singing about winning war but there is no winning here in these three States because the rebels can retake towns and tomorrow the government will recaptured again and the peace deal is the only solution in South Sudan’s problems.
splm-in opposition have already agree to the terms of peace agreement but they can not do it alone. juba and other arm groups must sign on to this proposed peace agreement for it to be inclusive. attacking and trading accusation is not new but simply part of any war.
Magol now begin to talk about peace deal, where is Agumut who usually sing a victory. Now all the foreign troops( Uganda, Rwanda, SPLA-N, GEM, Gwelweng, CDF) are defeated.
The rain season is at the corner and more a bushes will be the alternative so that Juba forces will die with hunger because there will be no movement for their logistics.
We don’t want any single soldier to go back to Juba from those who entered into Ayod. Late all of them finish in our mother land.
