JUBA, APRIL 23, 2023 (SUDANS POST) – South Sudan opposition commander Gen. Johnson Olony, leader of the Agwelek faction, and his deputy General Thomas Mabor Dhol have officially declared their allegiance to the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) under President Salva Kiir Mayardit.
They are expected to arrive in Juba this week.
General Olony had signed a deal with the government in January last year but later split from the SPLM-IO Kitgwang faction led by General Simon Gatwech Dual, which sparked fighting between his forces and those of General Dual.
In an exclusive interview with Sudans Post this morning, a senior member of the Agwelek faction stated that a team of security guards belonging to General Johnson Olony has already arrived in Juba from Upper Nile in preparation for his arrival.
“We have decided to officially join the SPLM because we believe it is the best path to bring peace and stability to our country,” said the opposition allied to Olony in Juba.
“That’s why Gen. Johnson Olony is expected in Juba with the arrival of his bodyguards who are already here with us and therefore he and General Thomas Mabor will come to Juba anytime this week and we are happy that peace has returned to South Sudan,” he added.
There is no other round were by people can go to accept Juba ,because all way are close up ,if you miss this chance no other chance for you.
He was the cause of instability in Upernile. Now the people Upernile will live peacefully. Good win from the government.
I would like to welcome Gen:Johnson olony to come back home since his defection from national army to opposition. As it was said by Great founder Dr.John Garang De Mabior that, there are many rooms in SPLM houses.
