The SPLM in opposition has made a counter-accusation that government forces have moved out of their deployment areas in the former Unity State.

The SPLA has denied the claim, saying it is implementing the peace agreement.

In a statement, the spokesperson of the SPLM in Opposition forces, William Gatjiath Deng, says their forces were blocked at Adok Bar Port.

He says the government forces have also moved out of their deployment areas and have been assembling at Tharwang Yiela and Torabieth.

The government made a similar accusation against the SPLM in Opposition on Wednesday.

The Minister of Information, Michael Makuei, said the opposition forces were regrouping around Bentiu and had blocked all routes into the town.

The director for information and public relations for the SPLA, Malaak Ayuen, says the counter-accusation by the SPLM in opposition is not true.

“If we can allow the advance team to use the plane to Malakal, and from Malakal to Pagak, and come back; then why are we blocking their barges which are bringing the army and the police?” Mr Ayuen told Eye Radio.

The two sides are trading accusations just days after they agreed to form a unity government.
