Breaking News: Formation of the White Army of Fangak and Naath Defense forces of Nasir, Ulang counties,
Have reached and agreement signed today:
In a significant development, over 120,000 members of the White Army and Naath Defense force have mobilized in response to ongoing tensions in Upper Nile State South Sudan. Key commanders from the Naath Defense Forces representing Fangak, Ayod, Ulang, and Nasir counties have signed a critical agreement, declaring their intention to advance into areas controlled by the SSPDF (South Sudan People's Defense Forces), Abushok and Agwelek. This proactive move comes in light of perceived threats from the UPDF (Ugandan People's Defense Forces), Agwelek, and Abushok militias, which have reportedly been targeting civilians in the Ulang and Nasir counties.
The commanders expressed a strong stance against SPLM/ regime—led by Salva Kiir. Stating that their loyalty lies not with established political players, but with protecting their communities from external aggressors. They condemned the actions of mercenary groups that have inflicted suffering on local populations, causing displacement and loss of life, particularly among children and women.
The coalition's rallying cry resonates with a fierce determination: "War! War! War!" This slogan underscores their resolve to confront Dinka and Shilluk militia groups, whom they accuse of perpetuating violence and instability in the region.
As this situation unfolds, humanitarian concerns grow over the potential escalation of conflict and its impact on civilian populations. Observers are closely monitoring developments as the White Army mobilizes, which could significantly alter the dynamics of the ongoing conflict in South Sudan or greater Upper Nile state.
