March 20, 2020 (JUBA) - The National Salvation Front (NAS) has accused the South Sudanese army of massing troops near its positions in Central Equatoria State and called on the Vatican religious of Sant’Egidio to address these violations.

In a statement released on Friday, NAS denounced two "new planned SSPDF military offensive" on 19 and 20 March.

NAS Spokesman Suba Samuel Manase said that elements belonging to South Sudan’s Popular Defence Forces (SSPDF) supported by three Land cruiser vehicles, a Russian Ural lorry, and an armoured personnel carrier deliberately advanced towards NAS positions in Loka and Mukaya areas.

"The forces still maintain a hostile presence in these locations poised for confrontation," he stressed.

"This morning of 20th March 2020, a full battalion of the SSPDF arrived from Juba reinforcing the bases in Lainya, Loka and Mukaya," he further said.

On 20 January 2020, NAS recommitted itself to the cessation of hostilities of 21 December 2017, in a deal brokered by the Sant’Egidio community.

"These hostile and unprovoked military activities are serious violations of CoHA. NAS therefore, calls upon the Community of Sant’Egidio and the members of the International Community to address these on-going violations".

The armed group further said they are closely monitoring the situation and will fight back in self-defence if attacked.

    People who are mentally retarded are below us. We will be on top of them forever. In South Sudan, we have two huge armies:
    1- SSPDF
    2- National Security
    
    Both armies are armed to their teeth with national security reports to president only, this means a woman who loves to sleep with many men cannot have control of our national security. She will find a young soon to sleep with.

        These jienge have never defeated anyone and they have no records of having routed NAS. Over 80% of all nyors have been put out of action or quit the army after fugitive Malong was kicked out. Their actions are limited to raping killing and terrorizing defenceless women. They heavily rely on allies to fight. Otherwise most jienges are busy looting state resources and running away.

Before 32 states were dissolved, Bari were speaking openly that they do not want Mundari to be brought back to their state, they don’t want Mundari, shit.

        Jienges have nowhere to go. Back in their luaks, no food, no homes, no civilized living and no bragging except revenge killings, cattle rsutling, anarchy, chaos and disorder. Dont mind them with 3-piece suits. They are just as good as naked. We Equatorians have raised and made them human, otherwise they would be like walking bush gorillas.

        Even monkeys can have gold chunks in their hands, but dont know what to do with it. If you have everything and yet live a refugee life in Uganda or Kenya, then you must be an idiot.

    You seem to know nothing at all. First of all, Thomas Cirillo was agent call insider in Juba. He came out from Juba on June 1992 when the SPLA were attacked Juba. His late brother Peter Carrillo was also an insider agent in Khartoum government. The most of Equatoria regions were captured by Dinkas Sons. Nuers people were break away in 1991.

    Which must mean that you agree that the Nuer should return Longechuk County to the Burun after they annexed it in the 80s, aye? Longechuk is hundreds of times bigger than the land stolen by the Dinka in Equatoria? When will you condemn your Nuer people for brutalizing the Anyuak?

      The Nuer killed Chol Odio — the Anyuak Paramount Chief in 2013 due to his vocal opposition to Nuer attempts at land-theft. Are you really ignorant of the fact that the Mor Lou continue to encroach upon the lands of the Anuak? The Mor Lou routinely intimidate and kill the Anyuak in Akobo in order to displace them from their ancestral lands.

        The people who have stolen the lands of the Anyuak, Burun and Shilluk are the same people that now pretend to be righteous by condemning the Dinka for stealing plots of land in Equatoria, while entire Nuer sub-sections take entire payams and counties (the size of countries like Lebanon) from smaller tribes. You people are hilarious.

        Thank you for stating out the facts about the Nuer behaviors in Upper Nile. We know all these things. These small tribes in upper Nile have been paying heavy prices from Nuer bad behaviors. In Juba until 2013, we have seen Nuer killing innocent Bari and grabbed their lands.ALMIGHTY NUER NEVER BEEN DEFEATED have been defeated now and they need to tuck their tails and shut up, no more games.

For Equatorians brothers and sisters who thinks Dinkas people will leave all towns, I think they have to thinks again. We have had lost half of million people during the 21st of the SPLA and SPLM and thousand others in current rebellious wars general speaking, they have pays our Sons which were killed in action in all Equatoria regions otherwise, such a racial profiling must be avoid in South Suda

  No, we should leave Equatoria and stay firmly in our lands in Bahr el Ghazal and Upper Nile. The Capital should be moved to Ramciel and the ’government’ should force the Dinka out of Equatoria. We have more than enough land and we just need to develop our lands and communities. The Dinka should stop stealing land in Equatoria and Upper Nile.

  Paying for what? Did you jienges go to the bush only to come and crowd yourselves in Equatoria? So you now understand, without Equatoria, you are nothing. It confirms that jienges formed the SPLA not to liberate SS, but out of bitterness of kokora. They have no development agenda.
