June 27, 2017 (JUBA) – The South Sudanese government Tuesday deported
three American nationals after they were found to not be in possession
of the legal document allowing them to enter the country.
“We received comprehensive reports from local authorities in Kapoeta
State, Immigration and the Military Intelligence of Sudan Peoples’
Liberation Army (SPLA) that on 20 June, three Americans attempted to
enter the country without proper documents,” said police spokesman
Brig. Daniel Justin when reached to comment on the media reports.
"Their visas had not been approved, they were not tourists nor
investment agents. They stayed for three days in Narus until they were
returned to Kenya. This is the only information we have received,"
Brig. Justin further told Sudan Tribune
He further said that the government, through the Ministry of Interior
and other relevant offices decided to return the US nationals to Kenya
on 22 June after they were found to not be in possession of valid
visas.
“Kenya was their point of entry, so they were asked to return to Kenya
and they went. If they come back with legal documents, they would be
welcomed,” said the police spokesperson.
The three Americans were identified as Alex Jared Zweifelholfer, Craig
Austin Lang and William Wright-Martinovich.
Zweifelholfer, is a 21-year-old Private First Class of the 2nd Brigade
Combat Team and the 82nd Airborne Division. He is reportedly wanted in
America since October 2016 for deserting his unit. Media reports also
claim his social media posts indicate his participation in the
Ukrainian civil war.
Lang, a 27-year-old former U.S. Army soldier, reportedly drove from
his base in Fort Bliss Texas nonstop to North Carolina two years ago,
with a car loaded with claymore mines and two M4 rifles after his
partner allegedly sent him various videos of relations with other men.
The video reportedly provoked Lang to drive to North Carolina where he
purportedly decided to mine the perimeter of the house in which his
wife was living with claymores in an attempt to murder her. The former
soldier later went to the Ukraine and participated in the civil war.
Media reports did not specify on which side of the war Lang participated in.
Little is known about Martinovich, a former U. S. Marine, who is also
thought to have left the army to participate in the Ukrainian civil
war.
American media reports indicate that the three are currently in
detention in Kenya, while American authorities work towards securing
their safe return to the U.S.

Look at these idiots, they even put in jail for a week and free
them. Where were they thought they going? They are going to starts
building the great wall in their country so that no one enter, and
still undermining other countries by entering without legal documents.
This is an insult to South Sudan government, if they’re playing
Kenya,then this is a wrong country for them.

Lunatic government, why deported them to the third country?
Instead of detain them here in the country and consult their
government through USA embassy, don’t lunatic government knows it also
sources of generating revenues when American government decide to
extradite them or lobby for their release!!!!!.

These are part of the American group of veterans soldiers trying
to help the rebel to effect regime change. Why beat about the bush.
Which American can travel all the way to Nairus without any reason and
coindently a former soldier?
