February 14, 2017 (JUBA) – South Sudan army, the SPLA, has denied
accusation of being turned into tribal institution by former deputy
chief of staff for logistic Gen. Thomas Cirillo and accused him of
quitting to avoid corruption investigation.

“His (Gen. Thomas Cirillo’s) resignation was aimed at avoiding
accountability and escaping justice after a massive corruption was
unearthed at his directorate,” reads a press statement issued by SPLA
spokesman Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang late on Monday.

Fifty-one officers, including Gen. Cirillo, were being investigated
since December 2016 for disappearance of army food, fuels, lubricants
and military equipment, said the military spokesman.

“[Gen.] Thomas was personally and deeply involved in a scamp in which
huge consignments of military food rations, fuel, lubricants and
equipment were either diverted for personal use or consumption,
disappeared, sold or stolen,” Lul stressed.

Gen. Thomas Cirillo, a Bari as the Vice-President James Wani Igga,
announced resignation from the army last week and accused the
President Salva kiie and the SPLA chief of Staff Paul Malong Awan of
undermining the national character of the army.

President Kiir denied the accusation, insisting that the majority
Dinka are in the army on voluntary basis.

“SPLA strongly disputes all inaccurate and inconsistent reasons he
cited for quitting the national army,” Lul said, adding that the SPLA
challenges the former deputy chief of staff to “return to the country
to clear his name.”

Gen. Cirillo has not indicated his next course of action but he is
alleged to be out of the country since December.

    How Funny!
    Lul you waited till Gen. Cirillo made the move and now you want to
cheaply implicate him in a scandal scam. Gen. Cirillo is a Bari NOT a
jienge and so thievery and banditry is not part of his culture. Look
for some convincing argument. LOL-LUL!

        Cirilo is criminal, he is the one funding those militias
killing citizens along highways of South Sudan by providing them with
logistics. He will be deported back like others generals to Juba South
Sudan though he travel to Addis with FDs yesterday. He will be trape

            Akuma,
            Lul is a pathological liar and criminal. He is nothing
other than a clever and lazy criminal whose nergies should have been
better used to save the Nuers than the jienges. Who is Lul Ruai Koang?
on www.paanluelwel.com. Just a hopeless hungry dog that submissively
has gone to his master to get the meatless bone.

        Jubaone! Thank God that yr identity has been known 2day. Now,
I don’t need to generalize the Equatorians for no reason in my
comments anymore because the culprit, Jubaone is a Bari. Tell me,
don’t Bari people have thieves? Which community on earth can claim to
have all clean people? Some of your hopeless idiots are the caused of

        Jubaone! Just because the city headquarters is here makes you
think that you are the smartest people in this country. You are rich
and hard working in this country. Wait, soon, Juba will be left for
you, and you will run around looking for jobs in other places.

        Jubaone! Just be honest with your selves, how many plots does
Swaka have in this city? How many buildings does he have in this city?
Can he obtain all these without having looted the money of this
nation? We know what he has and what he looted. Isn’t this not a proof
that you advocate for nepotism? Your hatred for other people has made
you blind to this facts. Wake up dude.

        Jubaone! If you are in business with him, just be prepared
that the government is coming to confiscate all that you acquired
illegally. You have been complaining that everyone in this government
is unclean and here you are trying to cleanse your brother. What a
shame on you.

    Yes as simple as that. come and clear your name Cirillo if you are
not culprit in rebels’ uniforms. It doesn’t matter how long you will
stay in exile, justice will always be waiting for you. Days are
numbered for corrupt officials who evade justice in the name of
blaming Kiir or Dinka.

        Gabriel KK,
        If Kiir and Malong swindled over $2m each and have mansions in
Nairobi, you think all are thieves and criminals? No. There is nothing
to be stolen anymore, the jienges have looted the country empty. This
is just jienge bullshit. What Gen. Cirilo should have stolen would be
guns to burst Kiir. Not Food, thats for hungry jienges.

            Jubaone,
            People like Peter Gadet are real rebels because their
rebellion has nothing to do with money or positions. But I doubt if
other senior military figures like Gen.Cirllo blame a Government
without a smoke. well, there is nothing left in the bush either.
Whoever going to the forest will come back as returnee and find Wani,
Kiir and Taban in Governmemt.

                Gabriel KK,
                Gen. Cirillo is a principled Equatorian and not a
jienge or Nuer known for flipflopping. Others run after food others
after principles. Rather die for an idea that will live than to live
for an idea that will die. Mark my words.

    To SPLA and Government, just ask the Country of his refuge to
extradite him to the Country to face Music in Court.

            jengelon,
            I don’t understand what you’re trying to elaborate here!
You’re trying to speak Arabic, but not really the case here. I know
that you are trying to depends Gen, Thomas through an injustice, but
remember! This stupid country took innocents peoples’ lives. There’s
no other book that we can write, rather then that, the fact that human
lives was given.

            jengelon, there is no tribe in South Sudan called
Equatoria, Equatoria is a region comprising many tribes, also how do
you think that the whole region can’t have a thief? thinks twice for
the best argument. Depending looters will leads us nowhere. lets face
justice.

    Fifty-one officers, including Gen. Cirillo, were being
investigated since December 2016 for disappearance of army food,
fuels, lubricants and military equipment, said the military spokesman.
Well, you have now left with fifty officers under an investigations
asap before they resign please! Otherwise, all reports later after
they resigned will be bias. Thanks,

        The Deputies Chief of Staff who held from non Dinkas were only
two who are defeced. One is General Bapiny Monytueland Thomes who
resigned recently. now SPLA Chief of General Staff office is purely
Danka’s. How can you denied the statement of Resigned Deputy Chief of

    Cirilo is a very honourable and anoble man.He surved his nation
for the good of South Sudanese. He resigned not defected. He saw
everything the Dinka tribal Government did. Accusing him of Nonsense
like this is just nothing but Evil work thats going on in the JIENG
Circle.

    Guys don’t listen to anything LUL is saying. We know this lad very
well. We schooled together in Kenya. He is just saying what pleases
the master’s ears and to ensure his bread supply doesn’t get cut.
Everyone in Kiir’s government have to act and lie this way in order to
survive. If you don’t then you might as well be called, a TRAITOR. LUL
is just surviving. Don’t worry he will soon join us.
