The acute loss of military power that the split represents for Machar will only intensify these dynamics,\u201d the Small Arms Survey said in a report tittle: SPLA-IO Split: What\u2019s new in the SPLA-IO?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government\u2019s position is that a splintered SPLA-IO is a weakened SPLA-IO; Machar is now even less able to resist the dominance of the government in Juba,\u201d the report adds.<\/p>\n<p>It says the split of the main armed opposition SPLA-IO in August has \u201cled to further defections from the SPLA-IO to the government, following earlier defections of commanders such as James Koang, who abandoned the opposition for the SSPDF in March 2020 following the formation of the R-TGoNU.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report said while General Gatwech\u2019s message of security arrangement is popular among the Nuer in both sides of the Nile, joining the government would robe Gen. Gatwech of the popularity he currently enjoys among the Nuer.<\/p>\n<p>\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 the report says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Olony, who sided with the government once before, the situation is more complicated, but he would need to be offered an adequate position by Kiir\u2019s regime, and anything short of the governorship of Upper Nile would render his defection a personal defeat,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
