However, just hours after the ceasefire came into effect, rebel spokesperson Lam Paul Gabriel stated that the government forces and Sudanese rebels launched an attack in Mboro, Wau county. The account was discounted by government spokesperson Ateny Wek Ateny, who told the press that the opposition had attacked them.
The situation was a point of discussion at the A.U. meeting, with the leaders asking the two parties to respect the ceasefire.
