Speaking to Sudans Post, Dut Majokdit, SPLM-IO member of National Liberation Council and Chairperson of Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) in Northern Bahr el Ghazal State said Gabriel Bol Dut was released after his kidnappers failed to pressure him into reconsidering his decision to join Machar.
“He was released yesterday, and this is after they failed to coerce him into reconsidering his decision to join the SPLM-IO under the wise leadership of H.E the First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon,” Dut told Sudans Post from Aweil on phone.
“No, he is a full member of the SPLM-IO, and this is a testament that we will not be compelled into doing something that we don’t want to do. The people of South Sudan are fed up of this system and this is very clear that they are forcing people into staying with them,” he added.
He called on the public to “join the revolution and we believe that if free and fair elections are going to take place in 2024, we will win the election without any doubt and that’s why we must not give chance to their incitement for violence.”
Bol, a former SPLM Secretary for Syndicated Organization in Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, was arrested on June 22 after he declared his intention to abandon Kiir’s party and join the main armed opposition SPLM-IO under Machar.
Prior to his arrest, he was reportedly called by unknown person for a meeting and later on pushed into a vehicle and detained at the National Security Service (NSS) in Aweil.
What so called national security in South Sudan ,a fake, is the same the so called paramilitary in Sudan and Wagner in Russia. Why the National security personnel doesnt knows its duty to protect national security´level?, only just to protect Mr. Kiir Mayardit. I doubt with its, this is a mercenary organization fully.
To me it was an arbitrary arrest at the time that he wished to declared his allegiance to the people’s party, this barbaric acts it would not be tolerated by thence.
By joining the party to me it could be a personal choice in the our beloved nation or Country, not a collusion to somebody like what the ruling party has always try to pursuit, to me, this is totalitarianisms move toward the peoples and its political parties in the Country.
Anyways, let us give it a close watch.
