The gallant forces of SSLA, under the command of fierce generals Kolchara Nyang and Mathews Pul Jang, defeated the SPLA forces in a battle that took place on March, 30, 2012. After SSLA captured Lalop town on Tuesday, March, 27, the SPLA army launched an offensive to recapture the lost town. The SPLA forces were composed of 6,000 soldiers commanded by Deputy Chief-of-staff for Administration, Lt. Gen Pieng Deng Majiok, Deputy Chief-of-staff for Political Orientation, Lt. Gen. Obuto Mamuor Mete, Unity State Divisional Commander, Maj. Gen. James Gatduel Gatluak and Lakes State Divisional Commander, Major Gen. Bol Kong.
The SPLA forces attacked SSLA’s position at 11am Friday and the battle lasted until 5:30pm. Our forces destroyed three Israeli made Merkava Mark IV tanks and captured one in good condition. The Merkava Mark IV captured in good condition was made in 1989 by Israeli Defense Force and its main armament is 120 mm MG253 smoothbore gun and its secondary armament is 12.7 mm MG. The tank carries the Israeli Elbit Systems BMS (Battle Management System).
The SSLA will soon release the picture of Merkava Mark IV captured as a proof to the whole world that Israel armed Salva Kiir’s regime to kill its own people. The SSLM/A, after destroying three Israeli made tanks, realized that the state of Israel was deceived by Kiir’s tribal government because of geopolitical game between Arabs and the State of Israel. Unfortunately, the Israeli tanks are now being used against South Sudanese fighting against tribal apartheid and dictatorship. The state of Israel might have acted emotionally in supporting the SPLA army without realizing that Dinka’s domination caused the ongoing civil war in South Sudan. Israel would now realize that its investment in South Sudan by arming one tribe to fight sixty two tribes would end in catastrophe. The cost of three Merkava tanks the SSLA destroyed is $18 million dollars. When the cost of the captured one is added, the cost of four is $24 million dollars.
Our gallant forces, after humiliating four SPLA generals, would keep matching to liberate South Sudan from the grip of tribal domination and would soon bring Bentiu town under its control. Our message to state of Israel is to stay away and stop meddling in the affairs of South Sudan by supporting one tribe to dominate others. South Sudan is composed of sixty three ethnic groups and Dinka tribe is composed of 25% of the population. The people of South Sudan have rejected tribal domination of Salva Kiir and have decided that the only salvation would come from the barrel of the gun.
The SSLA forces counted hundreds of dead bodies of the SPLA on the ground and captured twenty four SPLA soldiers alive and a lot of military equipment ranging from AK-47s to RPG-7. SSLA forces lost only fifteen martyrs and twenty four wounded. On Saturday, March, 31st, the SSLA operational commanders, Maj. Gen. Kolchara Nyang and Maj. Gen. Pul Jang, will launch an offensive towards Bentiu town.
The SSLA is once again alerting the NGOs, UN personnel and civilians to evacuate the city for their own safety. The civilians and UN personnel should bear in mind that the SPLA army most of the times uses civilians as human shields. It is in the best interest of civilians and UN personnel to prioritize safety and evacuate the town until it’s liberated from Salva Kiir and Taban Deng Gai. SSLA forces would not be responsible for hardship that individuals who fail to evacuate will go through if it happens that the SPLA forces protecting criminal Governor Taban Deng Gai use civilians as human shields in the town to create some sort of urban warfare.

SSLA KILLED SPLA BRIG. GEN AND TWO COLONELS
For immediate Release
SSLA Headquarters, Mayom, South Sudan
April, 1st, 2012
SSLA gallant forces attacked SPLA position on Saturday, April, 1st and inflicted a lot of casualties on the enemy. The battle took place at 4:30 am and ended at 8:00am. The SSLA forces conducted reconnaissance after the end of the battle and founded the body of Brig. Gen. Gatwech Gai Marial and other two colonels from Dinka tribe. The SSLA forces recognized Gen. Gatwec Gai because he was a colleague of SSLA operation commanders when they were part of South Sudan Defense Force (SSDF) from 1997 to 2006. Brig. Gen. Gatwec joined the SPLA after Paulino Matip signed Juba Declaration on January, 9, 2006. The names of the other two colonels killed were unknown because they didn’t have ID cards to identify them.
The SSLA operational commanders are now matching towards Bentiu town and will soon liberate it from the tribal government of Salva Kiir. Our forces captured much equipment and destroyed two tanks. One hundred and fifty enemy soldiers have been killed today. Operation Ending Corruption will liberate Unity State soon so that the liberation of Warrap and Lakes States shall commence.
The SSLA military commanders call up on the SPLA forces to join the revolutionary forces by arresting Salva Kiir and his henchmen. The SSLA is not fighting the SPLA soldiers who are victims of Kiir’s corruption. One of the reasons the SSLA is fighting tribal government of Salva Kiir is to restore the dignity of SPLA forces so that they get their salaries on time and shall get benefits such as healthcare allowances. Salva Kiir treats members of SPLA army like toys that is why most of the times the soldiers don’t receive their salaries on time. The only salvation for SPLA forces is to join the revolutionary forces by emulating the Mali’s soldiers who staged a coup and took control of the palace. The SPLA forces in Juba and Central Equatoria state should free themselves by staging a military coup to restore the dignity of the people of South Sudan.
It is a complete joke for Salva Kiir Mayardit to order state governors to recruit youth to fight the SSLA while he is the very person fighting Nuer and Murle youth in Jonglei. It is the same Salva Kiir who refused to integrate the forces of Peter Gatdet and Gabriel Tang to the SPLA who is now crying calling for public mobilization because the SSLA is capturing Unity State. The people of South Sudan will not listen to pleas of a dying horse and would rather join the revolutionary forces to liberate South Sudan from corruption. Salva Kiir should arm his four boys to go to frontline to defend his regime instead to rely on victims of his tribal government.
The SSLA congratulates the UN personnel that left Bentiu town on Friday after realizing that the town would be soon captured by our forces. We urge all NGOs to evacuate the entire Unity State immediately for their own safety. The SSLA will capture Bentiu town in coming days and there is no illusion about that unless members of NGOs want to endanger their lives. We alerted civilians in the town to leave and most of them are doing so. Therefore, the NGOs should know that the reason why citizens of Unity State are leaving the town is because SSLA will control it soon. The forces of Taban Deng Gai may attempt some resistance; however, they would not withstand SSLA forces who have high morale and enthusiasm to liberate the South from corruption.
