"Kiir has betrayed the hard-earned independence of South Sudan," Thomas Cirillo
In his speech marking the 9th independence anniversary of South Sudan, NAS Chairman Thomas Cirillo urged the people to be "steadfast
and maintain the resilience needed to transform South Sudan into the
country our people struggled for, and aspire to achieve."
He went on to point out that South Sudan - that achieved independence through a popular vote a referendum in 2011 - has been reduced to a global sad story with civil war and multiple government-sponsored inter- and intra-ethnic communal violence raging all over the country.
The Leadership of National Salvation Front (NAS) has received with deep sorrow the sad news of the sudden death of Rev. Bishop Wilson Noah Rule, the Bishop of the Lutheran Church of South Sudan. Bishop Wilson died on Thursday 21st May 2020 in Khartoum, Sudan.
Eid al Fitr message from the Chairman of the National Salvation Front General Thomas Cirillo
In a conflict setting where the regime is dysfunctional and the state has failed just like it is in South Sudan, communities and people most often depend on the social support system to face realities. The Leadership of NAS therefore urges the people of South Sudan to use the family support system to fight the spread of the COVID-19 by taking care of themselves as parents and their children. Events such as funerals, weddings and parties should be avoided for now, keep social distancing and wear a mask while in public places.
- The Leadership of National Salvation Front (NAS) refutes the false allegations made by the SPLA IO Deputy Military Spokesperson, Col. Lam Paul Gabriel, in a statement dated 14th/05/2020, that about eight (8) were abducted by NAS in a road ambush in Kansuk, Kajo-Keji County.
- According to our sources, these officers were arrested by Gen. Moses Lukujo (SPLA-IO) on 5th April 2020 under the instruction of Gen. Mabieh after protesting the promotion of Gen. Moses Lukujo into the rank of Maj. Gen
- In essence, the whole issue is about power rivalry within the SPLA IO - internal problem of SPLA IO
On Friday 24th of April 2020, the IGAD Special Envoy for South Sudan, Ambassador Dr Ismail Wais, held a teleconference from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where he spoke to reporters. Some of his comments aroused concerns among our supporters and members of the general public. The South Sudan Opposition Movements' Alliance (SSOMA), seizes upon this opportunity to set the record straight; and to dissipate any ambiguity that the IGAD Special Envoy is attempting to create.
