“the regime has been reinforcing Torit from Kapoeta and Mogiri following their defeats at Hillieu, Tutumore, Ibalany-Faira(Lokono), Lelere and Isaloro by the brave SPLA-IO forces of the anyanya division” Gatjiath said.

When will Lam join the moment is the question all are waiting for? Is it possible that Lam is contracted as a distractor to help take out the targets of Jaang councils on either sides? because he clearly put his small size moment in between the major forces knowing very well that its not going to work out well for his commanders on the ground. Call me a conspiracy theorist but what the hell is Lam Akol doing really?
Ladies and gentlemen the death of Jinye is no different from the death of many other Nuers who were at one point in Nuer history were national heroes and leaders but has no balls to stand up for what is right against what is wrong. hence the saying.. “a man who has nothing to stand for will fall for anything” Tang fell, William Nyuon fell, Garhoth Mai, will fall, Taban is already taban, and that Cieng Nyejaani boy of Gajaak, Lol Gatkuoth is no different from the rest of those who falls for anything. What I mean is there is no better time for these cowards to stand with Nuers than this time. There simply is no better time than this time.
Viva riek machar and.viva spla in opposition. The struggle continues
Riek Machar has been defeated and is now living in exit in South Africa. He is not living as a free man but he is living under house arrest in South Africa.
Winning your little pathetic battles against Machar does not translates into you winning this tribal war.
Making Riek Machar run like a rat been chased by a cat is a sign that government is wining the war. The government has forced him into exit in South Africa. Victory……Victory………..Victory …….. job well done …… long live Spla
