In a statement seen by Sudans Post, Maj. Gen. Agany Deng Bak, said he resigned with no regret and that he won’t enumerate reasons behind his resignation other than referring to it as ‘personal’ because he don’t want to do so per now as differences with Malong have been reported in recent weeks.
“Please, accept this letter as a formal notice of my resignation from my position as deputy chief of staff for operation due to my personal reasons which I may not wish to disclose per now,” it said in the statement dated November 28 2021.
“My last day will be today 28th/Nov/2021 as I decided to resigned from my position with no regret,” the top rebel commander added.
He further thanked Malong for trusting him for the role.
“I would like to use this opportunity to thanks all the members of SSUF/A for the cooperation and I am so grateful to the chairman for the trust he bestowed upon me. Therefore, I wish SSUF/A success for the benefit of South Sudanese,” Gen Agany added.
He was appointed by General Malong, a former South Sudan army chief who established the group in April 2018 in Kenya after fleeing South Sudan following months of detention.
