Translated Text: The Black Lions of the 13th Infantry Brigade Crush Militia Attack at Amora Station and Capture Four Armored Combat Vehicles The heroes of the 13th Infantry Brigade, under the Eastern Sector Command of the 4th Infantry Division, delivered a harsh lesson to the rebel militia forces and elements of the Joseph Tuka rebels... after successfully crushing the attack targeting Amora Station and repelling it with utmost valor and capability. Our forces managed to destroy the attacking force, inflicting heavy losses in lives and equipment... while the remaining elements fled, abandoning behind them four fully equipped armored combat vehicles that fell as spoils into the hands of the brigade's heroes. The forces affirmed their full readiness to continue military operations and secure all axes... emphasizing that the militia's desperate attempts will not weaken the resolve of the armed forces and supporting units in the battle for national dignity. The Information Office of the 4th Infantry Division Command, Damazin.
Al‑Hilu’s first deputy in the SPLM–N, Joseph Tuka has been the movement’s point man in Blue Nile since before the 2017–18 Kauda convention elevated him to lieutenant‑general. A former teacher turned commander, he gained a reputation for keeping frontline units disciplined while setting up parallel civil administrations—schools, rudimentary courts, tax ledgers—in areas Khartoum abandoned. Inside SPLM–N circles he’s seen as the “institution builder”: the one who turns slogans about self-rule and secularism into actual district bylaws and budget lines. When war exploded in April 2023, Tuka argued that Blue Nile’s fate hinged on breaking the Islamist stranglehold over the center and locking in constitutional guarantees for religion–state separation and real fiscal decentralization. Joining TASIS and taking the governorship of the newly defined Funj region lets him push those demands beyond SPLM–N enclaves. Expect his brief to zero in on harmonizing local revenue systems, integrating SPLM–N cadres into a restructured national army, and reopening the service networks (schools, clinics, registries) that withered under Port Sudan’s blockade.
