RESIGNATION FROM SOUTH SUDAN UNITED FRONT/ARMY, SSUF/A

This is to inform my family, friends, colleagues and the general public that I have resigned as Spokesperson and member from the South Sudan United Front/Army, SSUF/A – under the leadership of Gen. Paul Malong Awan Anei.

It has been a great privilege to have served under the wise leadership of Gen. Paul Malong Awan for the last two years, particularly in the information and policy department. Working with him and other senior officials was a great opportunity for me and other young cadres. However, time has come for me to do other things.

I will still contribute towards nation-building and peace on different platforms. I wish to thank all my colleagues and senior comrades in SSUF/A for their support and cooperation.

You’ve been wonderful people and I look forward to working with all of you in the interest of our country in future. As for my fellow young South Sudanese: If you believe that we can make it, let us continue the struggle.

Love you all

God bless South Sudan.

Chol Duang Chan.
