Field commander of the armed opposition known as Pan African group operating in state is killed and his body was brought to Rumbek Hospital mortuary, Acting Governor of Western Lakes State announced Thursday.
Lois Agum Ruben says the late commander, Anyar Anyar, was killed during fighting on Wednesday in Paloch County, north of Rumbek near Unity State, Radio Good News reports.
The Acting Governor calls on the late commander’s colleagues and other armed opposition groups to respond to President Kiir’s amnesty and join the peace process.
The official did not mention whether some soldiers from the two sides were among the death.
Radio Good News could not reach the Pan African opposition group for comment by the press time.
