南蘇丹：奪回控制權只是“時間問題”

South Sudan's military says it is "a matter of time" before pro-government forces retake control of two state capitals from rebels.

Army spokesman Philip Aguer told VOA that soldiers backing former vice president Riek Machar control Bor in Jonglei state and Bentiu in oil-rich Unity state, but that the military is "capable of dealing with the rebellion."

He also accused fighters backing Machar of shooting at a U.S. aircraft that was evacuating citizens from Bor on Saturday. The U.S. military did not identify the shooters, but said four of its personnel were injured.南蘇丹民兵說，親政府武裝力量從叛亂分子手中奪回兩個州首府的控制權只是“時間問題”。

南蘇丹軍方發言人阿古爾對美國之音說，支持副總統馬查爾的士兵控制了瓊萊州首府
博爾和西上尼羅州首府班提烏，但軍方有能力應對叛軍。

阿古爾還指責支持馬查爾的戰鬥人員上星期六向疏散博爾平民的一架美國飛機開槍。美國軍方沒有查明開槍者的身份，但表示有四名美國人受傷。
