The Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLA-IO) had denied military confrontation claim with SPLA-IO Kitgwang splinter group allied to Simon Gatwech Dual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPLA-IO Spokesperson Col. Lam Paul Gabriel dismissed the claim as he reiterates his being busy with the implementation of the peace agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNone of our forces are engaged in any armed confrontation with Gatwech\u2019s army. We didn\u2019t attack their forces in Tonga as they proclaimed. So, it is a complete lie that cannot really hold water\u201d Col. Lam stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spokesperson also rubbished the allegation that SPLA-IO has links with the white army militia. According to him, the white army are just armed youth who are not affiliated to SSPDF, SPLA-IO or even Kitgwang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe white army is just a tribal youth group who organized themselves to defend their territory, their people or defend themselves against anybody else including SPLA-IO. We never even clash with white army or forces of Gatwech Dual. So, we don\u2019t know what they are aiming at\u201d Lam questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He asserted that taking this country back to war is not what the SPLM-IO is after apart from peace implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday last week, SPLA-IO Kitgwang faction accused SPLA-IO under Riek Machar of attacking their military base in Tonga of Upper Nile State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brig-Gen Alfred Gach Thot, the spokesperson of SPLA-IO Kitgwang said that forces loyal to Machar attacked their military base in Tunja on the 14th<\/sup> of December 2022 at noon time \u2013 claiming having lost little compared to a huge defeat to the attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had called on the African Union, international community and IGAD to condemn what he called a proxy war backed by both Salva Kiir and Riek Machar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
