However, the SPLM-N Abdel Aziz al-Hilu issued a statement predicting
that Agar would promote the SPLA-N command and other military officers
and warned that he has no authority to make such decisions.
The Nuba Mountains Leadership Council (NMLC) of the SPLM-N decided to
install Abdel-Aziz al-Hilu as temporary chairman of the Movement and
relieved Agar from the leadership of the armed group together with the
Secretary General Yasser Arman. However, Agar rejected the move
describing it as a “coup d’état”.
In two executive decisions extended to Sudan Tribune, Agar relieved
the Movement official spokesperson Arnu Ngutulu Lodi and the heads of
SPLM-N chapters in United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, the
Netherlands and Canada.
He further decided to appoint Mubarak Ardol as the official
spokesperson of the Movement and the army and to appoint Lieut. Col.
Mawjoud Mohamed Daoud as an official spokesperson of the peace file.
Recently, Arnu Ngutulu Lodi has joined al-Hilu’s group and issued a
statement calling on the Movement base to support the new leadership.
"SABOTAGE SCHEME"
In a swift reaction to Agar’s decisions, the Office of SPLM-N al-Hilu
Chairman released a statement warning against a "sabotage scheme" that
Agar is implementing saying he would continue issuing a series of
decisions of dismissal, appointment and illegal upgrade within the
SPLA-N.
Agar plans to "promote to the rank of Lieutenant General, Major
General Gagod Mukwar Murada, Ahmed Al-Umda Badi and Izzat Koko Angelo"
in addition to the promotion of a number of brigade commanders to the
rank of major general," further said the statement extended to Sudan
Tribune on Monday night.
It further says that these decisions have no legitimacy and only made
for the purpose of seducing these officers to join their "defeatist
project".
" We direct the officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of
the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) not to deal with or follow
these illegitimate decisions aimed at undermining the decisions of the
Liberation Councils of the Blue Nile and Nuba Mountains/Southern
Kordofan, and to spread sedition and chaos," said the statement.
The Sudanese army has been fighting SPLM-N rebels in the Blue Nile and
South Kordofan, also known as the Two Areas since 2011.

You leaders of SPLM/A, please don’t give Al Bashir another break
to come and get you all dead or alive. They finished up with Dar Fur
and now with this summer season, they will send you their militias to
clear out the 2 areas.
