Several reports were published on Thursday claimed that a number of
high-ranking commanders including Koko have recently supported a
decision by the Nuba Mountains Liberation Council to sack Arman from
the head of the peace negotiating delegation and to dissolve the
general secretariat.
In a short communiqué released on Friday the SPLA-N Deputy Chief Of
General Staff For Administration, Koko, refuted the report and
regretted "frantic attempts" to divide the Movement.
"As for what has been attributed to me yesterday about my disagreement
with my colleagues in the SPLM leadership, it is a blatant lie and has
nothing to do with the reality. I have a mission with the Chairman and
the Secretary-General and I continue my mission as usual," he said.
Last month, the leak of a resignation letter of the SPLM-N Deputy
Chairman Abdel Aziz al-Hilu exposed deep internal rifts in the
three-member leadership of the rebel group. Al-Hilu accuses Arman who
is the chief negotiator of refusing to include in the peace talks the
right to self-determination for the Nuba Mountains.
Koko said that he would not contribute to dividing the group stressing
that " I am sure that the comrades, the leaders: the chairman, the
deputy chairman and the secretary-general will overcome the current
crisis and the SPLM/A remains united against the Ingaz regime".

This is what happens when you abandoned your cause and fight for
financial supply against innocent civilians in a foreign country.
The blood of Nuer that you killed in Bentiu is destroying your
business movement.
