"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, the former rebel military spokesperson who broke away from Riek Machar’s group yesterday on Wednesday, has arrived at Juba international airport today at 2.15pm.
He was received by top government officials led by chief of general staff, Gen. Malong Awan, among others.
Lul Ruai has accused Riek Machar of orchestrating a failed military coup in December 2013. He blamed Riek for dragging his feet on the ongoing peace talks in Addis Ababa.
Lul has formed his own party, South Sudan Resistance Movement/Army, the SSRM/A, which he said will directly and separately negotiate with the government with the goal to establishing a new state for the Greater Akobo area.
Lul arrived today with David Yau Yau at Juba international airport.
