JUBA, JULY 2, 2023 (SUDANS POST) – A number of sources are suggesting that South Sudan’s presidential security advisor Tut Gatluak was informed in advance of the Sudan conflict and that he ordered his family out of the capital Khartoum a few days before fighting erupted on April 15.

“He told us to leave and go to Egypt and some of our family members returned to Juba,” said a family source.

“By 12 April 2023, no one was in Khartoum, and he seemed to know something about what was going to happen in Khartoum,” she added.

Another source said Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, the deputy chair of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereign Council and commander of the rebellious Rapid Support Forces (RSF), informed Gatluak that he would attack the army in a few days, supposedly on April 13.

“When [Tut Gatluak] arrived in the Iftar organized by Hemedti, he told him that he would take over the government on April 13 which was Thursday, but then that did not happen until Saturday which is 15 April,” the source added.

“He said at that time that his intention to attack the army is to restore the civilian government and to prevent military rule in Sudan again,” the source added.

Gatluak was the head of a high-level South Sudan delegation that was in Khartoum from April 5 to April 10 for talks with Sudanese government officials led by Hemedti on the status of the disputed Abyei region.

Gatluak is seen in South Sudan as a close ally of Hemedti and was previously accused by opposition commanders and local residents of setting up an RSF-like militia force in South Sudan’s western parts of Unity State.
