Fighting Continues in Warrap State!

REBELS ATTACK WARRAP

February 18, 2014 [Warrap] — The Deputy Governor of Warrap state says forces loyal to Dr. Riek Machar have attacked two counties of Warrap state.

Yesterday, the Deputy Governor, Aketch Tong Aleu, told Eye Radio that organized forces were on high alert at the boundary with Unity state after being told of an imminent attack by forces loyal to Dr. Machar.

Mr. Aketch told Eye Radio this morning that fighting erupted in Tonj East and Tonj North Counties between government forces at the boundary with forces loyal to Dr. Machar.
“The attack started yesterday in the evening, but until now we did not get any full details because the commissioner is there and forces are also engaged in that fight,” he confirmed.

Mr. Aketch said there has been little communication with authorities in Tonj East and Tonj North Counties because fighting is continuing.
