JUBA – The head of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) Chapter in the Sudanese capital Khartoum has declared his intention to abandon the faction led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny and joined the Kitgwang faction led by former SPLM-IO chief of staff General Simon Gatwech Dual.

Gen. Gatwech declared in early August that he was removing First Vice President Machar as leader of the main armed opposition group, declaring himself ‘interim’ Chairman and Commander in Chief of the SPLM-IO following a three-day gathering of opposition commanders in Magenis.

Since then, senior SPLM-IO commanders and political leaders have been switching sides from the Machar-led SPLM-IO faction to the newly formed group led by General Simon Gatwech Dual. Prominent opposition politicians and military officers who joined Gatwech include Machar’s deputy Henry Odwar and people like Gen. Johnson Olony Thabo.

In a statement over the weekend, Moses Kbor George Koak, the head of the SPLM-IO Chapter in Khartoum said he and his team are no longer loyal to First Vice President Machar, but to the SPLM/SPLA (IO) faction led by General Simon Gatwech Dual accusing Machar of failing the main armed opposition group.

“Following deliberate consultations among the members of the SPLM-IO Khartoum chapter, we want to inform the public that we have decided to support the Kitgwang declaration under the chairmanship of 1st LT General Simon Gatwech Dual, deputized by General Johnson Olony Thabo,” he said in the statement extended to Sudans Post.

They said they left the SPLM-IO under Machar because under him, “organizational structures are not respected and this led to the disorganization of our great movement.”

“From the top to the bottom of leadership we were working opposite to our basic documents, which if followed strictly our movement would have been a safe haven for all South Sudanese who are desperately seeking for a real change, a change which is not mere theory but practical.

“Communication is very poor which is the cause of dissatisfaction among members of the movement. Managing the diversity within the movement is in big question and the most challenge under our former chairman PhD holder.

“We realized that we will never achieve anything under our former chairman, and peace will never reach any point under him while some elites are benefiting at the expense of others.

“Lack of transparency by the national offices of the movement toward other structures of the movement within and outside south Sudan.

The head of the movement is not giving consideration and care for the military side and other comrades whom they left behind and in cantonment areas and other places in the neighboring countries. “

    “SPLM-IO head of Khartoum chapter abandons Machar, joins Gatwech”

    Lie, our Nuers ke nyantoc have no brains, they always Jaangs/Muonyjaangs/Jenges/Dinkas as their own ‘kot as they play child-like-game and when their like bullshits go and explode in their own stupid faces, then will come back running to Jaangs/MuonyjaangS/Jenges/Dinkas for help.

    There is a dirty project being propagated by the secret societies. Our Nuers ke are love it, but don’t it be a disater to them, if we allowed into our country and over our people——the so-called UN NEW WORLD ORDER, GOVERNMENT WITHOUT BORDERS or their so-called AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION to be precise.

    Many people here in South Sudan who lowly are our Nuers ke nyantoc. Uganda, Democratic republic of Congo (D.R.C), Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya, Abesh (so-called ethiopia) prostitute, our arch enemy, the cloned so-called Arab North Sudan, the evil white Americans, their evil juus (so-called israelis), their gulf Arab financiers, Boko Haram, El qada, El Shabab (El shabab of Somalia, didn’t used kill Kenya or Somalians, but they have evolved into monsters). The US and even some criminals in Kenya have played games with Somalians. Mr. Daniel T. Arap Moi, played games with long times ago, in North East Kenya. Mandera, Garrissa and Dadab are Somalian countries. But that is what you get if you let your country be used as a way to make a living from by criminals.
    ‘Eastleigh is to Nairobi as Manhattan is to New York’.

    Somalia was once colonized by the Italians, Kenya was colonized by the British, Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda were colonized by Germany, Mozambique was colonized the Portuguese, Namibia was colonized by the Germans, they bullied Namib people and they apologized to Namib people, Angola was colonized by Portuguese—-here in our Nilotic plains and valleys, we sold some of our people through Congo to Americas. We have never ever been colonized by anyone, people who almost colonized us are, the Ottomans (today’s Turkey). We are the Ancient Egypt fellows.

    You are going to be bombed nothing. Portuguese where very good at open sea navigation then. they went up to Macau, one of the biggest Gambling island of China, Timor Lestre (East Timor) in Pacific, Brazil, Mr. George Bush the second, even asked former president of Brazil, Mr. Lula da Silva, whether are black people in Brazil, there are more black people in Brazil than in the US.

    Mr. George W Bush the second is respected here in South Sudan, John Howard of Australia is respected in here in South Sudan.

    Dr. John Garang is respected here in South Sudan, Mr. Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi is respected here in South Sudan, he was the one who helped brought peace to South Sudan. He is just part of the Sudan. Nandi, Capital, go to Kapsoya, in Eldoret. Then Nandis are living side by side with South Sudanese. Go to Nakuru, Gilgil, Bahati, Nairobi, Langata (Akiba). Rongai, Ongata, Rongai, these are, Nandis, Kalenjins and Masaais countries, but they are also Kenyan areas. Maasais are not racists. They just love cattles and their lands and they don’t want to be bullied by no bodies.>>>>
