Six youth abducted in Yei amid clashes between SSPDF and NAS
Six young men aged 18–25 were abducted in Yei town, Central Equatoria, following brief clashes between SSPDF and alleged NAS elements.
South Sudan People’s Defense Force (SSPDF) units clashed with what authorities described as “elements” of the National Salvation Front (NAS) in Dem Residential Area, Yei town, around 02:00 in the morning. The engagement, lasting about ten minutes, occurred after SSPDF patrols responded to reports of NAS presence. Following the encounter, NAS‑linked fighters reportedly abducted six young men aged 18–25. Local authorities confirmed the abductions and noted the presence of the rebel group in the area prior to the clash, but NAS has not yet provided an official comment on the incident.
