The National Salvation Front (NAS) prepares to conduct series of attacks against the Sudan People’s Liberation Army-In Opposition (SPLA-IO) and South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) and that it threatens the peace, according to a defense ministry internal memo.
The memo, which was sent to the South Sudan News Agency (SSNA) claims the NAS has outlined its attach techniques against parties to the September 2018 revitalized peace deal.
“This memo serves as a directive to all SPLA-IO and SSPDF divisions stationed near or around Eastern Equatoria State to stand ready. It is clear NAS is working against the stability of the country. NAS must choose between peace and war,” the memo says.
