AFP/UNMIS/File – A Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) honour guard stands at attention in January 2010. Southern … .2 hrs 28 mins ago KHARTOUM (AFP) – Southern Sudanese forces have been attacked by government troops, the spokesman for the Sudan People's Liberation Army said on Saturday, but the army denied having anything to do with the operation.
"A company of 120 SPLA soldiers was attacked on Friday night by armed men wearing uniforms of the northern (central government) army that was heavily equipped," Major General Kuol Deim Kuol of the former southern rebels said.
The incident occurred in Raja district in the southern state of Western Bahr al-Ghazal, which borders the war-torn western region of Darfur.
Kuol said there were casualties, but he did not elaborate.
Army spokesman Sawarmi Khaled Saad said: "We were not involved in these clashes. If one of the partners in the comprehensive peace agreement has such allegations to make about the other, the joint defence council should speak about it."
Saad was referring to the 2005 deal that brought an end to the 22-year war between the the government and southern rebels.
Other sources suggested the fighting involved members of the Arab Rizeigat tribe from Darfur who might have been looking for pasture for their livestock in south Sudan.
Kuol doubted that. "The Rizeigat are not equipped like that. This was the Sudanese army," he said.
Western Bahr al-Ghazal Governor Omar Jumaa said only that fighting between SPLA forces and "armed men" caused "casualties on both sides," without saying who the "armed men" were or elaborating on the casualties.
Jumaa said state authorities would meet their counterparts in Darfur to discuss the matter.
Despite the 2005 peace deal, tensions remain high between the mainly Muslim north and the grossly underdeveloped south, most of whose inhabitants are Christian or animists.
Autonomous south Sudan is struggling to recover from the civil war with the north during which an estimated two million people were killed, in a conflict fuelled by ethnicity, ideology, religion and resources such as oil.
The region is also plagued by local clashes between rival ethnic groups in south Sudan, often sparked by cattle rustling and disputes over natural resources, while others are in retaliation for previous attacks.
More than 400 people have been killed across the south in cattle raids and revenge attacks this year, according to the United Nations.
