AS IT IS 2015-12-18 South Sudan to Shoot Down Unknown Planes


South Sudan’s military has given orders to shoot down any aircraft that is not known to the government.


South Sudan voted for independence in 2011, but has been in civil war since 2013. Rebels opposing the government in the capital of Juba called for the end to the order.


The chief of staff of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army announced the order Sunday.


The information minister said the Republic of South Sudan had evidence that some planes and helicopters brought weapons into the country illegally. 


The army confirmed those claims Sunday.


“Some unidentified aircraft have been hovering 2 in and out of South Sudan,” said army spokesperson Colonel Philip Aguer. “They used some secret and illegal airstrips to drop some weapons and carry people illegally.”


The no-fly area was established as the rebels and the government-led military disagree over the size of a rebel advance team. The rebels want to send a team of 650 members to Juba. The government intends to limit the team to 30 members.


Another media report claims the South Sudan government is not happy with a United Nations mission offering relief and food. In response, the order will ground all UN aircraft delivering food and supplies.


During the ongoing 3 civil war, more than 2 million people have left South Sudan. Famine and drought have also left thousands in danger.
