South Sudan first vice president Taban Deng Gai arrives in Bor May 9, 2017 (ST)
David Dang Kong Head of the SPLM/SPLA-IO Coordination Office for Peace
and Reconciliation to Ethiopia and the African Union said "Maiwut
State is a land of opportunities and we should utilize these
opportunities for the benefit of our State and its citizens”
“Let’s forgive each other, open a new page of reconciliation among
ourselves and work hard for the betterment of our people and our
country. An eye for eye and tooth for a tooth would not take us
anywhere” added David.
The calls come one day after the South Sudanese army (SPLA) took
control of Maiwut town, the Maiwut state administrative headquarters,
after days of fighting with rebel forces.
Sources on Thursday told Sudan Tribune that forces loyal to First-Vice
President, Taban Deng Gai entered the area around 10 am without facing
any resistance.
“The SPLM/SPLA-IO Coordination Office for Peace and Reconciliation in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, would like to take this opportunity to
congratulate H. E. Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit, President of the Republic
of South Sudan, H. E. Gen. Taban Deng Gai, First Vice President of the
Republic of South Sudan, Hon. Minister Ambassador Ezekiel Lol
Gatkuoth, Minister of Petroleum, Maj. Gen. Bol Ruach Rom, Governor of
Maiwut State, Gen. Nhial Batoang, SPLA Division 6 Commander, and all
the people of Maiwut State for the Peace victory yesterday,” said
David.
However, the SPLA-IO led by Riek Machar denied the claim in a
telephone contact with the rebel commanders in the area.
He added the capture of Maiwut by their forces has proven to the
maximum that H.E Gen. Taban Deng Gai, First Vice President of the
Republic of South Sudan, Ambassador Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, Minister of
Petroleum, and the entire SPLM/SPLA-IO leadership are working
extremely hard, days and nights, to bring the lasting peace in our
beloved country.
South Sudan was plunged into conflict in December 2013 after president
Kiir accused his former deputy turned Rebel leader, Riek Machar of
plotting coup, an allegation the latter denies.
The fighting, which turned ethnic lines killed tens of thousands and
displaced millions.
