JUBA — South Sudan’s main armed opposition commander General Simon Gatwech Dual has declared that he ceased taking orders from First Vice President and SPLM-IO leader Dr. Riek Machar Teny and will soon inform the public about imminent changes with in the SPLM-IO, according to a statement by his office.

The latest announcement by General Gatwech who is a de facto SPLA-IO chief of staff comes days after Machar’s SPLM-IO in Juba said General Gabriel Duop Lam was the acting SPLA-IO chief of staff after he had removed General Gatwech from the position in June.

General Gatwech had then been appointed by President Salva Kiir Mayardit as a presidential envoy on peace upon the nomination of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny.

General Gatwech Dual had also rejected the appointment saying such a position does not exist in the revitalized peace agreement signed by Kiir and Machar in September 2018.

In a statement this evening, Brigadier General William Gatjiath Deng, the holdout SPLA-IO military spokesman, said the group in the bush has ceased taking orders from Machar’s SPLA-IO in Juba.

“Please be informed that, the SPLM/A (IO) leadership in liberated area is not any longer taking orders  from the SPLA(IO) in government under the leadership of Dr Riek Machar Teny,” the statement extended to Sudans Post reads in part.

The strong-worded statement further said it will soon inform the opposition public about challenges facing the group in the bush and will also announce imminent changes to the public.

“…therefore the military leadership under the chief of General Staff  First Lieutenant General, Simon Gatwech Dual will inform you soon about the current internal challenges facing the SPLM/A (IO),and would further advise the entire members to stop receiving fake news fabricated by the SPLA(IO) in government, whose aims is to deceive the entire members of SPLM/A(IO) and the population in frantic of implementing the progine peace agreement in the country,” the statement said.

“The SPLA(IO) military leadership would like to take this opportunity to inform you that First Lieutenant General, Simon Gatwech Dual, is still serving  as the official  Chief of General Staff (COGS) for SPLA(IO) forces,” it then added.

    “BREAKING | Gen. Gatwech no longer takes orders from Machar, to announce changes”

    Our Nuers, ke nyantoc,’ Watch this cheap intrigue over and over again if you low lives can: https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/news/athletics-refugee-team-james-chiengjiek-falls-tokyo-2020#:~:text=There%20was%20devastation%20for%20IOC,and%20tumbled%20to%20the%20ground.

    For all I care, that piece of low life is not ‘a Jaang/Muonyjaangs/Jenge/Dinka’—–he was a ‘so-called UN Olympic programs nonsense’. from Kakuma refugees camp, Northern Uganda, our own Gambella region or Dadab in North East Kenya of Garissa. The whole dirty ‘project was about South Sudan and South Sudanese people’ and the damned so-called UN,the sleazy NGOs, free things, the UN NEW WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT, UN GOVERNMENT WITHOUT BORDERS or the so-called *AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION*. One country, two systems, is what is being used by our enemies whom we are going to bomb out of map and pee, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
    Adis Ababa, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Dubai, UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, London, Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Wall Street, Panama, British virgin Islands and others; think, their low lives in Kenya, Abesh (so-called ethiopia) prostitutes, Rwanda, Uganda, North Sudan, Tanzania, Somalia, Burundi, South South Africa, North Sudan, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, our Egypt, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their UN, their sleazy NGOs and some of their creeps in between who have attached themselves to country and over our people, are our equals.

    Our South Sudanese would jump to what I am telling them ‘now and they can do so and get away with it’

    South Sudan is what is being fought over Tokyo and and a lot intrigues and bullshits have been used over our country and over our people. That damned ‘foolish refugee who as taken to Tokyo to go and run on in the name of the South Sudanese refugee must be hanged. He is not not a damn so-called South Sudanese. Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta, a drunk piece trash was *hauled to London, by our our enemies who have attached themselves to country and over our people*. And went and be ‘told bullshits by our enemies that *5 billion dollars ares needed in Africa for girls*

    This is what these vermins/parasites

    In 2016, some refugees from Kakuma refugees camp were taken to go and run in Brazil. Kenya is always used by our *enemies as their own benchmark to play games with other people and their countries* what do the ‘vermins/parasites/viruses’.

    Lowly informed South Sudanese fools. In 1999, our mighty SPLM/A was forced to negotiate peace with our enemies of the cloned so-called Arabs of North Sudan; they were *our cloned so-called Arabs of North Sudan, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, some of theior rubbish here in the IGAD, the African UN (the AU), their gulf Arab states financiers’ their UN, their sleazy NGOs and some creeps in between who have attached themselves to our country and over our people, but the vermins/parasites are going to be bombed to ‘kingdom come, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
