The National Salvation Front (NAS) has rejected South Sudan's planned December 2026 elections, arguing that ongoing conflict, insecurity, and the absence of key democratic conditions make credible elections impossible. The movement instead calls for inclusive political negotiations to address the root causes of the conflict before any elections are held.
NAS Chairman Cirillo marks Eid al-Adha with a direct message: the Juba regime "neither cares for its people nor wants peace." NAS pledges to continue the struggle until genuine peace is achieved and corruption is ended.
NAS forces captured the SSPDF headquarters at Longoyo-Lobonok on 7 May 2026 after government troops attacked a NAS position in Lobonok Payam on 5 May. The NAS leadership alleges Vice President James Wani Igga orchestrated the attack under cover of a home visit to clear the area for a private gold mining project. More than twelve SSPDF soldiers were killed and fourteen AK-47 rifles seized. NAS lost four soldiers across both engagements. The movement warned Lobonok residents to avoid the Juba road and cautioned mining companies against deals with the Juba regime.
On International Workers' Day, NAS Chairman Compatriot Thomas Cirillo Swaka honours South Sudan's working people and condemns the Juba regime for unpaid salaries, extortion, and the systematic abuse of workers' rights - calling on all workers to organise and fight for their dignity.
NAS Chairman Gen. Thomas Cirillo Swaka extends Easter greetings while noting that South Sudanese cannot celebrate in peace due to insecurity and civilian deaths caused by the Juba regime. He calls on citizens to stand up for truth, justice and dignity, and urges the country's leaders to commit to a genuine, inclusive dialogue that addresses the root causes of conflict. The message frames Easter's theme of resurrection as a call for national renewal, resilience and collective action toward a just South Sudan
NAS condemns the massacre of civilians at Khor Kaltan (Jebel Iraq) on 28 March 2026 and a separate SSPDF attack in Bagari, Wau County, which together displaced over 1,000 people. The movement categorically denies SSPDF spokesperson Lul Ruai Koang's accusation that NAS forces were involved, noting the area is entirely under government military control. NAS accuses the Juba regime of using propaganda to cover up its own forces' role in the killings.

This document contains the official speech delivered on the 9th anniversary of the National Salvation Front (NAS), commemorating the movement’s founding on 6 March 2017. The address honours the martyrs of the struggle, reflects on the sacrifices made by the South Sudanese people, and reaffirms NAS’s commitment to justice, democracy, and national transformation. The speech outlines the movement’s vision for a just, diverse, and prosperous South Sudan and calls for continued resistance against oppression, corruption, and misrule.
The South Sudan Opposition Movements Alliance (SSOMA) rejects the current framework of the Tumaini Peace Initiative, arguing it was developed without meaningful consultation, predetermines outcomes, and prioritises elections without addressing the root causes of conflict in South Sudan. The alliance calls for a genuinely inclusive peace process based on broad stakeholder consultations, negotiations addressing governance failure, security reform, and justice, and the creation of conditions necessary for credible elections. SSOMA insists that sustainable peace requires a comprehensive agreement with clear implementation guarantees, accountability mechanisms, and national ownership of the process.
