August 31, 2017 (JUBA) – The chief of staff for South Sudan rebels,
Lt. Simon Gatwech Dual has downplayed the 30-days ultimatum issued by
defense minister, Kuol Manyang Juuk for the rebels to surrender or be
"crashed".

Dual, in an interview with Sudan Tribune, described the threats as
“nonsense”, amid claims that they allegedly control 90% of land in
South Sudan.
“This is a pure invented lie from Kuol Manyang, Paul Malong and their
master M-7 [Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni] who had also declared
the same ultimatum to catch and crash down the chairman and commander
in chief Dr. Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon within five (5) days and as a
result, things fell apart,” said Dual.
The rebel official said their forces were still powerful and assured
their supporters to threats issued by government would have no impact.
“My message to the people of South Sudan is that we the leaders of the
SPLM-SPLA-IO have seen our people suffer in vain for four years and we
are ready to bring peace in the young nation, but you need to know
that Mr. Kuol Manyang has got no powers since I and my officers went
to Juba with only a few troops (1,370) soldiers with light guns and
counted ammunition yet we were not crashed,” said Dual.
“Who cares for this lie ultimatum?” he asked.
The rebel army chief also insisted that the Juba government had failed
to implement the 2015 peace accord, further adding that the coalition
government was simply buying time as the civilians suffer.
Dual, together with the armed opposition leader, Riek Machar fled the
capital, Juba after an outbreak of violence in July last year saw
hundreds killed and thousands displaced in United Nations camps.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed and over a million South
Sudanese, the UN said, are currently displaced in Uganda due to the
war.

And where the low lives fools are going to hide? Probably in
DRC, Central Africa republic (CAR) & North Sudan? But we have a
military agreement with DRC that was even signed by their Riek Machar
loser when he was our vice president of South Sudan before he let his
balls carried him away in 2013. And the government of South Sudan will
just ask the DRC government to let us *in & hunt down* the fools

you idiots simply because you are Equatorians.
Case in point, early this year in Magwi & last year in Yei when some
of you idiots joined your Riek Machar aimless armed rebellion,
targeted the innocent Dinkas/Jiengs road users & ran to Uganda & then
lie to the whole world that you were targeted simply because you
Equatorians. And you idiots have some of your foreign masters in the
US, the UK>>>

their UN, their NGOs & some of their evil
allies in between who believe these outrageous lie & lies of yours.
But take heed fellows, we told you since advent of your Riek Machar
armed rebellion that you fellows are going to join the rank of LRA
criminals. Your Riek Machar sociopath was an LRA buddy during our
genuine war of independence with our cloned arabs North Sudan & they
were used>>>

Shut up you jienge scoundrel. You write much about
the SPLA and SS as if it belonged to you jienges alone and the rest SS
are just spectators and deserve no respect. You are nothing but
stooges of foreign powers: Egyptian, Chinese and Ugandans who allow
you to kill and depopulate the SS so you can resettle them onto our
lands. Hopeless idiots just worktools of foreigners.

jubaone,
Please try to be respectful to all the tribes
of South Sudan. No one wants to take the land of any tribe in South
Sudan. Any country in the world has the right to team up with any
country on the face earth if there is mutual interest. You are
welcomed back to South Sudan, only you need to put aside hatred about
Dinka tribe and when you come back to South Sudan, please tuck your
tail.

South South,
We Equatorians respected and accommodated
every single tribes good and worthless together. In the end, we are
paying a dear price for this hospitality. Now it’s over. I don’t give
a shit cos you scoundrels have abused our hospitality. Get back to
your luaks and everything is fine. As long as that doesn’t happen, we
must evict you jienges by force or otherwise. Period.

The SPLA is long dead with Dr. Garang. What we
have is a bunch of savage luakjienges disguised as SPLA. Paul Malong
incorporated illiterate cattle herders, armed, dressed them up, paid
and fed them. These indiscplined bush-jienges are the source of
insecurity in Juba. With Malong out, no more free food, they have
turned into dangerous criminals and thugs known as "unknown gunmen".

Some of our Nuers & some Equatorians idea that they helped
fight for our country’s independence has been put to test time & time
again. But it always doesn’t look good for them. The idiots have been
fighting the South Sudanese people for their foreign masters. But this
time around. Their cheeky dirty games with their foreign masters isn’t
being entertained some of these days>>>

The jienges have made satanic and evil deals with
their Chinese and Egyptian sponsors to depopulate SS non-jienge tribes
and let these landless Egyptian and Chinese ptison inmates to come and
occupy our areas. These worthless Jienges are just hirelings and M7 is
helping them. We know that. But they will fail and go to hell.

why would any South Sudanese men/women with a
brain would want to make a deal with *Satan or sheitan* for that
matter to destroy our country & kill our people? In fact, Mr. Jubaone,
the opposite is glaringly true. You Riek Machar idiots have been South
Sudanese people pain in the arse all along. You Riek Machar idiots

Just as it is hopeless and worthless
to entangle myself in endless discussions with you, you have a
preconcieved idea and your obstinacy about events in SS borders a
"donkey attitude". I dont buy into this jienge crap. Learn to be
decent otherwise your hard-earned education and literary acumen in the
cyber space is just worthless jienge shit.

I always post on this SUDAN
TRIBUNE web site & you Riek Machar idiots know it. Jubaone, I am the
one that helped bombed your Yei, not very far away from Kaya, Morobo
that you Riek Machar idiots often try to play game with, in 1997. In
my own battalion then, there was not even a single *Equatorian or a
Nuer* in my battalion then, were boys from the Nuba Mountains,
Southern Blue Nile>>>

Anyuaks boys [not not in big

was no single Equatorian rubbish in *my battalion* then in 1997 in
Yei, my SPLA battalion>>>

Kuch,
Only if US, evil juus, UN gave
us a handful of real hardware, you jienges would be running around
like frightened chicken 🍗. If you can’t defeat 1,350 with limited
ammunitions how can you crush an army of 30,000 well armed IOs? FYI
mention your battalions other than Katiba Shakush that liberated Yei.
You were in Kakuma as a Lost Boy 👦. Shut up.
