Press Release

Deputy Military Spokesperson
SPLA .IO
The government of Juba has incited inter tribal war amongst civilians in Jonglei and Murle land.
Gen. Malual Ayom has armed the youth from Dinka Bor with sophisticated weapons to raid Murle villages and cattle. This youth group was trained using state resources with the aim of causing insecurities and committing atrocities to their neighbouring communities ie the Lou Nuer, Mundari and the Murle.
This morning of 1/05/2017 they have attacked civilians in kocchar with the help of government soldiers. Civilians have been killed and many are in the bush hiding while they are busy looting properties and burning houses.
The SPLA IO would like to bring this to the attention of the International community and UNMISS that this group is being used as proxy militias to commit atrocities. Apart from arming the youth the government forces have been seen backing this group using armored Personal Carriers and Landcruisers mounted with 12.7mm guns
This same youth group were responsible for killing IDPS at UN PoC in Bor in 2014 after Mr. Makuei Lueth told the press that those under the protection of UNMISS in Bor town were criminals.
The SPLA IO calls upon the UNMISS to take step to ensure that this youth group do not continue their horrendous act against the Murle villages and Gen. Malual Ayom must be held responsible for using these young underage boys to kill for the government.
