July 4, 2015 (RUBKOTNA) - A group of intellectuals and youths from
Rubkotna county in South Sudan’s Unity state have distanced themselves
from James Gai Yoach, an army general who defected from the rebels.

Yoach claimed the Leek community in Unity state backed his defection.
But the group, in a statement extended to Sudan Tribune, described the
general’s defection to pro-government forces as a minor move.
“The defection of Gai Yoach and his few followers have nothing to do
with all the Leek people. It has to be treated as a decision taken
desperately by the general driven by his self-interest,” reads the
statement.
“We would like to inform the public that all people of Rubkotna county
in the resistance movement are still standing very firm behind the
SPLM/SPLA [in opposition] under the leadership of Dr. Riek Machar Teny
Dhurgon,” added the statement issued Saturday.
The intellectual urged the youth, men and women from Rubkotna to
refrain from supporting the general loyal to Juba. Some community
members accused Yoach who hails from Rubkotna of undermining his
people by advancing personal interests.
Yoach joined the armed opposition struggle from northern Upper Nile
state last year. A former rebel, Yoach was among those who protested
against the outcome of the 2010 general elections in the then Southern
Sudan.
The general’s defections is said to have been coordinated by Tut Kew,
an advisor to President Salva Kiir and Unity state governor, Joseph
Monytuel.

James Gai made a right choice to save lives of south Sudanese who
are dying in the hands of power hungry politicians.

How does he save the people by joining the same killer machine
who will again use him to kill more in the near future?
