“The leadership of the SPLA (IO) has learned that the regime is currently plotting a serious move to jeopardise the already fragile peace agreement championing in Juba with little hope to end the deadlocks or meet expectations and it’s true that the regime is not ready to end the long suffering of the people of South Sudan since they still ordering multiple attacks on the SPLA (IO) military garrisons.” he said.
Brigadier General added that a verification team had been sent to Moroto where they found dead bodies.
“CTSAMM, or Verifications team, were sent from Juba two (2) days ago to “Moroto” in order to check out what had happened at the training centre and of course, the team got concrete evidences from the field commanders as they found dead bodies and even those who were caught lives at the war field and they went back to Juba knowing that the regime has been the ones carried sporadic attack on the SPLA (IO) base and the team had promised that there would be no more attack against your bases.” he added.
