South Sudan Defense Minister Accuses Rebels of Stoking Tensions

04 Apr 2024  |  voaafrica.com
South Sudan Defense Minister Kuol Manyang has accused Riek Machar's rebels of escalating violence in Western Equatoria state, particularly in Mundri West County. Manyang reported multiple casualties, including soldiers, a policeman, wildlife soldiers, a prison warden, and civilians. He also mentioned an attack on an SPLA base by the Arrow Boys, resulting in further casualties. James Gatdet Dak, a spokesman for Machar's SPLM-IO, acknowledged their presence in the area and recruitment efforts but denied responsibility for civilian deaths. The government has deployed more forces to the region following these incidents. This violence occurs as peace talks are set to resume in Addis Ababa to resolve the ongoing conflict in South Sudan.

South Sudanese Journalist Killed in Juba After President's Threat

21 Aug 2023  |  voaafrica.com
Moi Peter Julius, a South Sudanese political reporter for The Corporate newspaper, was found shot dead in Juba. His death occurred days after President Salva Kiir threatened to kill reporters working against the country. Peter's belongings were not taken, suggesting that robbery was not the motive. The incident highlights the growing dangers for journalists in South Sudan, with Peter being the seventh journalist killed in the country this year. The U.S. State Department has expressed deep concern over Kiir's comments and urged him to retract his threat. The Union of Journalists of South Sudan and the Committee to Protect Journalists have both spoken on the increasing risks faced by journalists in the region.

South Sudan Opposes IGAD Proposal to Allow Free Movement Within E. African Bloc

15 Sep 2017  |  voaafrica.com
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) is considering a proposal to allow free movement of citizens within its East African member states. The proposal aims to waive visa fees to promote economic growth, property ownership, and other activities. While the EU supports the initiative, South Sudan is hesitant due to defense concerns and the belief that a majority of its population would not benefit due to literacy barriers. South Sudan's ambassador to the African Union and IGAD, David Buom Choat, and Interior Minister Rier Gatlier expressed concerns about national security and the limited impact on their citizens. However, the International Organization of Migration in South Sudan argues that free movement is economically beneficial, as many goods consumed in South Sudan are imported from neighboring countries.

ICRC Driver Killed in South Sudan Ambush

11 Sep 2017  |  voanews.com
An International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) worker, Lukudu Kennedy Laki Emmanuel, was killed when their convoy was ambushed in former Western Equatoria, South Sudan. The ICRC has condemned the attack and suspended operations in the area. The convoy was returning from a mission distributing food and seeds near the borders of the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo. ICRC spokesperson Mari Aftret Mortvedt emphasized the importance of respecting the Red Cross emblem and ensuring safe passage for humanitarian workers. This incident marks the first serious attack on an ICRC convoy in South Sudan since the conflict began in late 2013. The country has been in a state of civil war following its independence from Sudan in 2011 and the subsequent firing of the deputy by President Salva Kiir. The UN has warned that attacks on humanitarian personnel may be considered war crimes.

American Journalist Killed in South Sudan

28 Aug 2017  |  voaafrica.com
American journalist Christopher Allen was killed while reporting on the conflict in South Sudan. He was shot in the head by government forces at the Kaya border post near Uganda, according to the rebel group SPLA-in-Opposition. The group claims Allen was only photographing the battle and not participating. Government officials, however, allege that Allen was part of a rebel attack on a garrison. The rebels attempted to retrieve Allen's body amidst heavy fighting, and the U.S. State Department confirmed his death. Allen's body was transported to a military hospital in Juba, and he was identified by a red ribbon on his arm, which is used to distinguish individuals in rebel territory. Allen's death raises the number of journalists killed in South Sudan since 2012 to ten.

Fuel Shortage Hits South Sudan as Inflation Soars

23 Aug 2017  |  rfi.fr
South Sudan is experiencing a severe fuel shortage as gas stations across the country run dry. The shortage is due to a slowdown in imports, exacerbated by blocked or attacked roads to East Africa and rampant inflation, which has reached approximately 800 percent. This economic situation has led many fuel traders to cease importing fuel. The impact is now spreading beyond transportation, as public buses and motorbike taxis have halted operations in the capital, Juba, and businesses are struggling to transport goods throughout the country. Correspondent Tito Justin reports from Juba on the developing situation.

South Sudan President Restructures SPLA leadership

16 May 2017  |  voaafrica.com
South Sudan's President Salva Kiir has issued decrees to restructure the nation's army into three forces: ground, air, and navy. The restructuring aligns with resolutions from the SPLA Command Council Conference in June. Kiir remains the commander-in-chief, with a new hierarchy including three assistant chiefs for different army divisions. Despite reports, the army's name remains SPLA, not South Sudan Defense Forces. The decree also reinstated General Dau Aturjong to the army. Analysts like Abraham Awolich from the Sudd Institute view the changes positively, seeing them as an attempt to improve the army's image and restore public trust. However, Awolich emphasizes the need for security reforms from the 2015 peace agreement. The Red Army Foundation, a group of veteran SPLA soldiers, criticized the current SPLA for straying from its original vision and principles.

South Sudan's Kiir Downplays Rumors of Malong Rebellion

12 May 2017  |  voanews.com
South Sudan's President Salva Kiir has urged the nation to remain calm following the dismissal of army chief General Paul Malong. Malong left Juba with armed officers, raising concerns about potential violence. Kiir addressed the public, emphasizing that changes in military leadership are normal and expressing confusion over Malong's reaction. Despite Malong's departure and high blood pressure, Kiir reassured citizens of the security situation and discouraged the spread of rumors. Reports suggested Malong might establish a military base in his hometown, Aweil, causing residents to flee. However, Malong halted his journey in Yirol after discussions with local officials. Although he refused a government-provided flight back to Juba, Kiir assured Malong's safety. The country continues to struggle with conflict and displacement since December 2013.

South Sudan Army Chief Sworn In One Day After Malong's Ouster

10 May 2017  |  voaafrica.com
General James Ajongo has been sworn in as the new SPLA army chief after South Sudan President Salva Kiir dismissed his predecessor, General Paul Malong, without providing a reason. Ajongo pledged to implement the 2015 peace agreement's security arrangements and to address the proliferation of armed groups opposing Kiir's government. Ajongo, a career soldier from Aweil, has been part of the SPLA since 1983. Malong, known for his hardline stance, has been involved in South Sudan's military and political scene since the 1960s, including forming the presidential guard and serving as SPLA chief of staff. His dismissal has raised concerns among citizens about potential conflicts and further political instability. Brian Adeba from the Enough Project commented that little change is expected with Ajongo's appointment, as he is seen as a protege of Malong.

Plane Carrying 21 Crashes in South Sudan, Causing Some Injuries

20 Mar 2017  |  voaafrica.com
A South Supreme Airlines plane crashed while attempting to land in the city of Wau, South Sudan. The aircraft was carrying more than 20 people, and although there were injuries, no fatalities have been reported. The crash occurred on Monday, and all 21 people on board were safely evacuated. Some passengers are being treated at Wau Hospital. An aircraft engineer, Paul Charles, attributed the crash to poor visibility and a collision with a damaged truck on the runway. The plane burst into flames after the crash. Bona Gaudensio, Wau State Information Minister, confirmed the injuries and stated that more information would be provided through the media after initial patient care.
