South Sudan: South Sudan army says was attacked by Popular Defence Forces (PDF) rebels and Sudan army in border areas
South Sudan said Wednesday that militia groups aligned to the government of neighbouring Sudan, collaboratively attempted to attack the border states of Western and Northern Bahr el Ghazal over the last two days, targeting largely civilian settlements and forcing hundreds of families to flee their ancestral homes and head for urban towns.
Eyewitnesses and state officials from Aweil East County, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, said, in series of interviews with Sudan Tribune, that the attack was carried out by militia groups acting in collaboration with the Khartoum-sponsored Popular Defence Forces (PDF) and the Sudan Armed Forces.
South Sudan’s army (SPLA) says it was attacked in the Warguet area on the South Sudanese side of the disputed and largely undemarcated border.
