2014年1月10日（朱巴）- 南苏丹军方发言人在周五时声称，南苏丹人民解放军（SPLA）已经从叛军手中重新夺回团结州（Unity State）州府本提乌 （Bentiu）。

菲利浦·阿基尤尔（Phillips Aguer ）通过电话告诉苏丹论坛（Sudan Tribune）：我可以很负责任的告诉你，南苏丹人民解放军（SPLA）目前已经完全控制了本提乌（Bentiu ），该地方曾经被叛军控制，它于今天（周五）下午14：30左右被重新夺回。

他表示，在将冲突中的进一步的人员伤亡详细情况公布前，将首先针对该地区进行评估。

苏丹论坛（Sudan Tribune） 目前无法从叛军口中确认军队取得的胜利。

在12月21日第四师指挥官詹姆斯·科昂少将（Maj. Gen. James Koang） 叛变后，本提乌 (Bentiu) 被叛军控制，且公然宣布反对之前效忠的Salva Kiir 总统。

持不同意见的将军随后取得了团结（Unity State）州长的权力，建立了一个临时管理机关，除国家委员外，还指定了一个新的州政府发言人

冲突于12月中旬在（南苏丹）首都朱巴的总统卫队之间爆发，随后蔓延至其他州，主要是Jonlei， Unity 和 Upper Nile.

由于担心南苏丹政府军会尽快从军队派系斗争中重新夺回本提乌（Bentiu），从两周前已导到数以千计的当地居民逃离该地区。

据报道称，超过8,000难民进入本提乌的联合国（UN）基地避难，驻南苏丹联合国人道主义最高协调人托比·兰泽尔（Toby Lanzer）在周三表示，据报道称，另有超过6,000人的难民在联合国（UN）在朱巴（Juba）、波尔（Bor）和南苏丹的其他地方的基地避难。

S. Sudan army says recaptured oil-rich town from rebels

January 10, 2014 (JUBA) – The South Sudanese army (SPLA) has recaptured Unity state capital, Bentiu from rebel control, the military spokesperson said on Friday.

“I can confirm to you that the SPLA is now in full control of Bentiu, which was under the control of the rebels. It was recaptured at about 2:30pm today [Friday]”, Phillip Aguer told Sudan Tribune by phone.

He said the army would first carry out an assessment of the area before further details on casualties involved during the clashes can be made public.

Sudan Tribune was unable to obtain confirmation from rebels on the army’s victory.

Bentiu fell under rebel control after Maj.Gen. James Koang, the military fourth division commander defected on 21 December and declared his opposition to forces loyal to President Salva Kiir.

The dissident general later assumed the governorship of Unity state, establishing an interim administration and appointed a new speaker of the state assembly speaker as well as county commissioners.

Fighting erupted in the country’s capital, Juba in mid-December after a dispute between the president guards, later spreading to other states, mainly Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile.

Fear that South Sudan’s military could soon retake Bentiu from a faction of the army that defected over two weeks ago led to thousands of civilians to flee the area.

Over 8,000 people reportedly took refuge at a United Nations base in Bentiu, the UN’s top humanitarian coordinator in South Sudan, Toby Lanzer, said on Wednesday. Also, over 60,000 people are reportedly sheltering in UN bases in Juba, Bor and other parts of the country.
