March 23, 2017 (JUBA)- The command of the Sudan People’s Liberation
Army (SPLA), the official army of South Sudan, has dismissed rumours
on social media claiming that the chief of General staff, Paul Malong
Awan has died..

“This is just fake propaganda by the anti-peace elements. It is not
true. The chief of general staff is alive and carrying out his duties
normally,” a high ranking military source told Sudan tribune on
Thursday.

“He was only out of the country but he has returned,” he further said.

Last December, General Paul Malong Awan had been hospitalised in
Nairobi Hospital for nearly two weeks and returned to Juba after his
recovery.

Awan was diagnosed with malaria which causes significant morbidity but
is rarely life-threatening.

Further, the Presidential Spokesperson, Ateny Wek Ateny, also issued a
statement dismissing the false claim against the chief of general
staff.

"This is a serious fake news and the wishful thinking against Chief of
General Staff, General Paul Malong. I just want to tell the
well-wishers that General Paul Malong is alive and well, said Ateny in
a statement on Thursday.

Both the military source and presidential spokesman did not accuse any
person or group of issuing the allegation.

    If the rebel’s vision become kidnapping foreign workers for ransom
and wishing leaders of an army death, then they (rebels) lost their
course completely. Rebel MUST take a reasonable decision. Whether,
opted for peace as the only viable solution to settle our differences
or stay out there as refugees in neighboring countries. Let those
who’re tired of this country leave this country alone.

            I don’t know what Rebels are thinking, you think if
something happens to Ger. Paul Malogdit you will achieve whatever you
want, I think Rebels they don’t know how to wish, you Rebles thing
that Ger. Malogdit is difficult or dangerous. In the there is more
dangerous people’s than Ger. Malogdit. If kiir remove Malog and placed
him with me, I bet you Rebles you will kiir replace Malogdit.

    This man called malong Awan is a murderer, nobody should wish him
death, for we need him to face justice for crimes against humanity.
Whether we like it or not, this is the truth about this murderer and
the truth is always bitter. He should be hanged to feel the same pain
that he caused others to go through. His supporters need to know that
Awan is a walking dead man. He should live to face justic
