Buay made the declaration after more than one year since his release from jail and dismissal from the army service. He was charged in February 2019 with treason on grounds that he plotted a rebellion against President Salva Kiir’s government.
He was also charged with defying military orders allegedly refusing to surrender and report to the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces headquarters in Juba before his arrest.
In November 2019, the South Sudan People Defense Force strips General Buay of his rank, dismissed him from the army after being secretly sentenced to one year in prison by a Military Court in Juba.
Speaking to Sudans Post this morning, General Santo Domic Chol, the acting army spokesman, said General Stephen Buay’s defection is an individual decision which he said will not have impact on the implementation of the peace agreement and the security of the country.
“I don’t think the defection of General Stephen Buay Rolnyang has any impact on the implementation of the security arrangement. Defection of Gen. Buay is an individual decision which will not have any negative impact on the peace deal,” he told Sudans post.
Ok
It is okay if the defection of General Buay will not impose any negative impact on the implementation of the peace agreement and the security arrangement of the country as well.
He might be right to do whatever he wants to, but we the civilians are always the victim of any crisis and personal interest because these Generals are fighting over leadership and the results of their fighting is always directed toward us.
As the proverb goes like this”, when the Elephants fight the grass will suffer.
But my question is, since he announced that his defection is an individual decision, so I do not see it as if his defection will not be another peace deal threat because now IO and IG are all integrated together, who is he going target that will be not be from either IO&IG?
These individual things will always destroys this younger nation south Sudan because any one who seem to have disagreed with the system will feel like to defect since the defection is almost getting to be a public interest and hobbies.
