Dut Majokdit who is also a member of the SPLM-IO’s peace delegation in Juba told Sudans Post in an exclusive interview that he welcomes his appointment into the body and said the action by the prominent opposition leader represents a great step in the involvement of young people in the political decision making in the world’s youngest country.
“First of all I think the Chairman and Commander in Chief H.E Dr. Riek Machar Teny for taking this courageous decision to confirm my nomination into the SPLM/SPLA (IO) National Liberation Council (NLC),” Majokdit said in a celebratory tune while speaking to Sudans Post.
“I regards this step because as we transition from an armed struggle into a viable political party, it is very important that the youth are involved in the decision-making process of the SPLM/SPLA (IO) because we have a peace agreement and that’s why we are working to make sure that the revitalized peace agreement is implemented in letter and spirit.
Separately, SPLM-IO member Kiir Chan Wol has been appointed by Machar as the group’s chairperson of SPLM-IO in the country’s Northern Bahr el Ghazal state.
