"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.
March 4, 2016 (SSB) —- The transportation to Juba of the first phase of the SPLM/SPLA (IO) units (1,370), which are composed of elements of joint police and military forces, will happen any time soon (no date yet fixed) once the necessary arrangements are completed by relevant parties and bodies in the security arrangements…
It is equally important to clarify that the remaining force of over 1,500 will also follow to Juba once our First Vice President designate, Comrade Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon, arrives in the national capital and takes up his position as First Vice President…
I would also like to inform concerned individuals or groups that the selection process – for the units of the forces – has definitely taken into consideration the policy of inclusiveness of our Movement…
Best regards,
James Gatdet Dak Official Spokesperson Office of the Chairman and Commander-in-Chief SPLM/SPLA (IO)
