Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Sudan<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Small Arms Survey, a Geneva-based independent research group has said that President Salva Kiir Mayardit had sought Gen. Simon Gatwech Dual\u2019s support in hope to create a humiliating development for First Vice President and opposition leader Dr. Riek Machar Teny.<\/p>\n

Gen. Gatwech attempted to remove Machar in August following three-day gathering of top opposition commander in northern Upper Nile state\u2019s Magenis town. The commanders accused Machar of surrendering to President Salva Kiir\u2019s regime at the expense of the security arrangements provided for in the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n

A month earlier, Gen. Gatwech\u2019s spokesman Brigadier General William Gatjiath Deng was caught speaking in a telephone detailing a meeting he said he had with General Akol Koor, the Director General of the National Security Service\u2019s Internal Security Bureau in which Gen. Akol Koor asked him to inform Gen. Gatwech of President Kiir\u2019s desire for removal of Machar as leader of the SPLM-IO.<\/p>\n

In a report released this week, the Small Arms Survey said President Salva Kiir Mayardit had initially made overtures to Gen. Gatwech\u2019s Kitgwang faction in an attempt to weaken Machar and continue the control over the state institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitially, Kiir\u2019s regime made overtures to the Kitgwang faction. Gatwech joining the SSPDF would have made for a humiliating development for Machar, and discredited his claim that the SPLA-IO constitutes a substantive opposition in South Sudan. However, such a move is a non-starter for Gatwech,\u201d the report seen by Sudans Post reads in part.<\/p>\n

It said \u201cGatwech staked the Kitgwang Declaration on a critique of Machar\u2019s self-interested abandonment of the Nuer people for a seat in government. Joining the government forces would rob Gatwech of the credibility and popularity that he currently has among his supporters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
