ATTACK ON LOWERENG CANTONMENT SITE

ATTACK ON LOWERENG CANTONMENT SITE

on 22/03/2021 in the morning hours, the SPLA-IO cantonment site of Lowereng was attacked and burned down.

This surprised attack led to the lost of five SPLA-IO soldiers including the commander the cantonment site. Much as the attackers are yet unknown, this attack amounts to violations of the permanent ceasefire that needs to be investigated.

The SPLA-IO calls upon the JDB and CTSAMVM to investigate this aggression and bring those responsible to books. The SPLA-IO remains committed to the implementation of the Security Arrangements but has the right to self defence
