SPLA : No casualties from NBeG attacks
Wednesday, 23 May 2012 07:57 Lagu Francis South Sudan >>> . The Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) says it has not received reports of casualties following latest attacks in Northern Bahr-el-Ghazal. This follows a statement by the Information Minister, also government spokesperson Bernaba Marial Benjamin on Tuesday that SAF carried out aerial bombardments and ground attacks in Werguet on Monday and Tuesday. The SPLA Spokesperson Col Phillip Aguer on Wednesday told Radio Miraya that the SPLA did not suffer any casualty during the bombardments in Werguet this week, and there is no information on civilian casualties. "For the last two days, on the 21st and the 22nd air bombardments and ground long range artillery bombardments to the SPLA position. Yesterday it was only northern Barh-el-Ghazal at Werguet along the Kirkuk area," said Aguer. The SPLA spokesperson condemned the attacks and said the SPLA is ready to defend the territory of South Sudan. "The SPLA has the right to respond at the right time in an appropriate and adequate manner because this is a perpetration of acts of aggression by a system that does not want Mutual Corporation at the border." Sudan has not responded to the accusations, but has in the past denied launching attacks in South Sudan territory.
