December 24, 2016 (JUBA)- The South Sudanese presidency Saturday has
downplayed the severity of the health condition of the SPLA’s chief of
general staff, saying he is in good health.
Presidential spokesperson Ateny Wek Ateny said he visited the chief of
General Staff Paul Malong Awan at the hospital in the Kenyan capital
Nairobi on 20 December 2016 and found him looks quite healthy.
“I am tempted to write this piece of information to assure the
well-wishers as well as evil wishers that the Army Chief of General
Staff, General Paul Malong Awan is in fact hospitalized in Nairobi
Hospital but in a very stable condition and have now fully recovered,”
said Ateny
He added that he visited him personally before to return to Juba,
stressing that Awan "was not in a bad situation as it was wished by
wishful thinkers".
The State owned South Sudan broadcasting corporation on Friday evening
broadcast footage in which General, who appeared looking weak and
unclear with what he wanted to say, attempted to assure the general
public of his health condition, saying he was well.
The top military officer said he was diagnosed with malaria and high
blood pressure.
Also, the Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William
Samoei Ruto visited the General Awan in Nairobi Hospital on Friday,
December 23, and 24 December respectively and wished him a quick
recovery.
Ateny said he found General Awan looks quite healthy compared to what
is being rumoured.
"Malong is needed by South Sudanese now more than any other time. So,
it is incumbent upon all of good hearted South Sudanese to just pray
for his quick recovery," he added.

According to the picture, the illiterate Gen Malong seems to
have been shot in the neck probably in Yie battle...... May God take
him soon before the new year because his hands are tainted, with full
blood of innocents people’s......

The last thing Juba needs is the return of this criminal
monster. He started the civil war in 2013 by the door to door massacre
of civilians. CIVILIANS!
Remember this so called army chief never fought any enemies of
South Sudan outside South Sudan. He created a mitigating to rob, rape
and murder civilians.
The sooner this evil man dies the sooner South Sudan will enjoy peace.
