NAIROBI (5 Feb.)

A High Court in Kenya has issued a warrant of arrest against a military
attaché at South Sudan Embassy in Kenya after a case of mysterious
disappearance of two South Sudanese opposition officials in Nairobi
recently.

Dong Samuel Luak is a prominent lawyer and opposition figure who has spoken
out against human rights abuses in South Sudan. Aggrey Idri Izbon is a
chairman of the SPLM-IO committee for humanitarian affairs under rebel
leader Riek Machar.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Friday, Pouk Both Baluang, spokesman of the
SPLM-IO in Kenya, said the court decided to adjourn the sitting until next
Thursday after Kenyan lawyers requested ample time to collect more
information on the disappearance of the two men.He pointed out the court
had issued a warrant of arrest against a South Sudanese military attaché
based in Kenya to appear in court to give an account of the disappearance
of the two opposition officials.

"So, based on the information obtained by the Kenyan authorities, the court
decided to issue a warrant of arrest against a South Sudanese national who
is a military attaché at the South Sudanese embassy in Nairobi here, he was
linked to the kidnapping of Aggrey Idri and Dong Samuel," he said.

Pouk declined to identify the military attaché summoned by the Kenyan court.
