By Bonifacio Taban Kuich February 28, 2011 (BENTIU) - Unity state governor Taban Deng, addressing journalists in Bentiu on Sunday said the state government’s first priority is to integrate South Sudanese from the northern Sudan Army Forces (SAF) and renegade Gatluak Gai’s forces into the South’s Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) “affairs”. Taban Deng (Gurtong) Deng returned from a two week visit to the South Sudan capital Juba as part of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) Political Bureau which discussed security issues. ”We have discussed security in the South to give the hand of peace to all our people, especially those who were with SAF in Khartoum and the forces of James Gai Yoach, Bapiny Monytuel Wijang and in Unity State Gatluak Gai’s forces, who broke away during the general election declaration result and we have agreed on a peaceful resolution” said Deng. Adding, “They had already allocated areas for the forces to assemble and they will be integrated into SPLA affairs.” Deng explained that the Yoach and Wijang forces “will be assembling at Riah payam (district) in the south of Mayom county, these forces have already arrived in the area,” and that “those responsible for SPLA integration will be coming in next two days from Juba, for their assignment into SPLA forces, prison services and polices services”.
