“The governor of Wau Angelo Taban refused to allow good delivery to Helmiya which is an assembly point for the SPLA-IO forces,” he said in a statement extended to Nyamilepedia.
“This is in spite of the fact that a that a verification team of the peace monitoring CTSAMM verified the area as a SPLA-IO cantonment,” he added.
