Armed opposition leader denies Olony defection to Taban Deng faction

UPPER NILE (19 Dec.)

Johnson Omot, a member of the armed opposition and the governor of Fashoda
state from the rebel side has denied that General Johnson Olony has
defected to Taban Deng Gai.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, he said Olony and his forces are fighting along
with the armed opposition under the leadership of Riek Machar, pointing
that they are committed to the implementation of the peace agreement in
letter and spirit and have no connection with Taban Deng Gai.

Omot accused some elements he did not mention of trying to split the armed
opposition.He also accused Lam Akol who rebelled against the government
recently of trying to control the armed opposition, calling on him to join
the rebel movement under the leadership of Riek Machar.

Lam Akol belongs to the same tribe as Olony - the Shilluk - but he has thus
far declined to work under Riek Machar.
