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.
