BREAKING! Uganda army attack South Sudan again in a Kajo-Keji border dispute.

JUBA, AUGUST 8th – The Ugandan People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has attacked two villages in Kajo-Keji County, Central Equatoria State (CES) on Friday, local authorities have confirmed.

This is the second time in two weeks that the UPDF is attacking South Sudan over a border dispute. Last week, the UPDF killed five South Sudanese security personnel, including two officers from the South Sudan People’s Defence Force (SSPDF), two prison officers, and one police officer in Nyainga-Muda village, Kangapo Two Payam, just over a week ago.

Kajo Keji County Commissioner, Wani Jackson Mule, told Sudans Post that gunshots were heard on Friday morning in Merwa and Gorbeleng villages of Bori Boma in Kajo Keji. He said reports reaching his office during a 10 a.m. security meeting indicated that UPDF soldiers allegedly entered the villages and fired shots.

“The UPDF entered Merwa and then Gorbeleng, shooting randomly. I’m not sure if they fired into the air or targeted civilians. These are farming communities where civilians live. We have no army or police there—only a local headman and villagers,” Mule explained.

No official confirmation of the incident has yet been made by security forces due to the remoteness of the area and the absence of security personnel.

The South Sudan government is expected to send the Minister of Defence to Uganda for talks aimed at resolving the border tensions, which have already left at least five South Sudanese dead.

According to Kajo Keji County Commissioner, Wani Jackson Mule, both the UPDF and the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) have maintained positions in the area since clashes on the 28th of last month.

“Since the fighting on the 28th, they have remained in the area. The SSPDF controls one part, and the UPDF controls another. So it’s not something new for them to be there—it’s not that they just entered and took over,” Mule told this publication in
