The White Army has claimed control of Nasir, upper Nile State, after fighting the SSPDF. Their leader stated they drove government forces out and captured military assets. The ongoing conflict raises concerns about escalating violence in the region.
The militia group known as the White Army has asserted control over Nasir, a strategic town in South Sudan’s Upper Nile State, after fierce clashes with government troops. Following hours of fighting, the group, primarily composed of armed Nuer youth, declared on Tuesday that they had forced the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) out of the town.
The recent conflict in Nasir underscores the fragility of security in Upper Nile State, with the White Army’s control over the town marking a significant escalation in hostilities. As the SSPDF has not provided an official response, the situation remains tense, contributing to fears of further violence in the region.
