🇸🇸🇸🇩 South Sudan army accused of attacking civilians in Abyei
South Sudan’s People Defence Forces (SSPDF) has been accused of attacking civilians in the Sunday morning ambush that left 40 people dead in the disputed area of Abyei.
Sultaan Bulabek, the leader of the nine chiefdoms in Abyei, told that soldiers carried out co-ordinated attacks in several villages alongside armed youth from the Twic county of Warrap state.
He claimed that the attack was meant to push the Ngok community out of their homes.
Maj Gen Akuei Ajou, the commander of SSPDF's third division, denied the allegations, saying the purpose of the force was to protect people between Twic and Abyei.
He added that youth from Abyei were behind the attack on a military base that killed seven soldiers and civilians including children on 13 November.
