南苏丹：夺回控制权只是“时间问题”

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.南苏丹民兵说，亲政府武装力量从叛乱分子手中夺回两个州首府的控制权只是“时间问题”。

南苏丹军方发言人阿古尔对美国之音说，支持副总统马查尔的士兵控制了琼莱州首府
博尔和西上尼罗州首府班提乌，但军方有能力应对叛军。

阿古尔还指责支持马查尔的战斗人员上星期六向疏散博尔平民的一架美国飞机开枪。美国军方没有查明开枪者的身份，但表示有四名美国人受伤。
