The South Sudan capital Juba is facing eminent full scale battle between the SPLA and the opposition forces any time from now.

Sources from both sides have told ChimpReports that the fighters of the embattled First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar are already in the outskirts of the capital city waiting for the move with the aim of dislodging President Salva Kiir from the administrative seat or capturing more than half of Juba.

The opposition forces who have branded themselves Freedom Fighters took offensive and defensive positions in strategic locations and routes for a decisive clash, according to intelligence sources.

"The IO forces are already here (Juba). They want to fight the last war and their word is victory," a source in Juba told this reporter.

The opposition forces engaging the SPLA and the allied Mathianganyor militia group are said to be doing so just to divert the attention of the government fighters for Juba to remain vulnerable to any intruding force.
