"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.
Was Gen. Thomas Cirilo Swaka an SPLM-IO mole within the government in Juba?
“But also unknown to many, Gen. Cirilo ever since has taken risk to his life by providing us with logistics support, and tactical guidance when he was inside the country,” reveals Gen. John Kenyi Loburon, in his resignation letter from SPLM-IO of Riek Machar and declaration to joining the NAS of Thomas Cirilo, July 28, 2017. Which begets the one-million-dollar-question: Was Gen. Thomas Cirilo an IO mole within the gov’t in Juba or is that revelation a mere hyperbole and embellishment from one desperate Gen. John Kenyi Loburon meant to shore up the credentials of, or to seek favors from, Gen. Thomas Cirilo, in anticipation of his arrival, the warmest reception, within the NAS camp?
