PRESS RELEASE: SPLM MEMBERS IN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, REFUTE REBEL PROPAGANDA
4 min readThe Committee of Senior SPLM members in Victoria Australia would like to refute as falls and mere propaganda the claims by SPLM-in-Opposition that Victoria South Sudanese Communities wholly support them
Following the nearly nine months of War and its subsequent political maneuvers by the members of SPLM-in-Opposition including the defection of most SPLM and Youth League office in Victoria Australia members to the opposition; leading to a great level of confusion among the South Sudanese people here in Victoria.
The concerned SPLM Senior members in Victoria became alarmed by exaggerated propaganda by SPLM-in-Opposition including their recent meeting and a claim that the Dinka Community in Victoria has organized a rally to welcome the visiting SPLM-in-Opposition team led by Ezekiel Lol Gatkouth.
These senior SPLM members acknowledge the disintegration of SPLM Office and Youth League to other South Sudanese the World over; and due to this unfolding of events, the members have formed a Committee to coordinate SPLM activities and respond to any issues raised by the opposition or SPLM branch at home which runs the Government of South Sudan.
The Committee of Senior SPLM members in Victoria Australia would like to refute as falls and mere propaganda the claims by SPLM-in-Opposition that Victoria South Sudanese Communities wholly support them, in fact what has happened is actually individuals running to Dr. Riek Machar’s camp looking for employment and other positions should he seize power.
Otherwise the general public is against the rebellion and the ongoing War weighed by the Opposition forces in South Sudan. In reality, South Sudanese Communities and SPLM members in Victoria are a people well exposed to democratic processes since they vote in a system here and do condemn with strongest terms possible the killings of our people and attempts to dislodge a democratically elected Government by force.
The SPLM members and consulted South Sudanese Community Leaders and their members here by condemn as , the continued attacks by Rebels on Government positions and killing of Civilians, and unfortunately, whenever the two groups go to Addis Ababa Ethiopia to settle the conflict through peaceful ns.
We would also like to bring to light that majority of South Sudanese, leave alone the SPLM members here in Victoria, do pledge their full support behind the Government and SPLM ruling Party as usual and are behind the President and his team, given the President’s sincere efforts to bring back the peace South Sudanese have been yearning for all the way even before the CPA.
We encourage the Government to continue to show good example of unconditional dialogue to look for peace as the only option to bring the war to an end and ease the suffering of our people who became victims of those seeking Power by all means including war as uttered by the former Vice President last year in his address before the war erupted.
The SPLM members in Victoria are here by assuring the SPLM in South Sudan and the Government that the SPLM in Victoria and South Sudanese communities encourage you to continue with the commitment to bring peace.
The committee would also like to assure you that we in Victoria are in control to safeguard the SPLM agenda of peace, development, justice and prosperity and also liaise the Government of Australia to support the Government and participate effectively in the humanitarian front to safe our people that have been affected by this war.
We would also encourage the Government in South Sudan to ready and a team for visit to Australia in the team will be in full support possible to facilitate a rally and care for any issues as deemed necessary.
