Simon Gatwech Dual has postponed the Kitgwang, (or Magenis) leadership consultative conference that was slated for September 30th 2021.<\/p>\n<p>This comes hours after two senior SPLM-IO members in Magenis told Sudans Post that the conference was unlikely to go as planned due to lack of a unified agenda for the conference which would bring together different opposition groups.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter addressed to the Chairman of the SPLM-IO Political Wing Henry D. Odwar, Gen. Gatwech said the conference cannot go through as planned because of unforeseen financial shortcomings the movement has faced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to shortage of the financial resources, the military command leadership decided to postpone the Kit-Gwang leadership conference until further notice and herby rendering my apology for any inconvenience caused,\u201d Gen. Gatwech said in a letter to Odwar.<\/p>\n<p>Early today, two opposition officials in Magenis told Sudans Post exclusively that there were outstanding disagreements as to what will be the agenda of the largest opposition gathering since the split of the SPLM-IO in August.<\/p>\n<p>The official said Gen. Johnson Olony and others wanted the conference to be used as an opportunity to declare full-blown war against President Kiir\u2019s government, while others including Odwar and Gatwech wanted more time for the opposition to set its own agenda and restructure group before inviting other opposition forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of them including General Johnson Olony Thabo see that there is no time to waste and there is need for all the opposition groups in South Sudan to use the Magenis conference as an opportunity to declare resistance against the regime of President Salva Kiir Mayardit,\u201d one of the two officials said Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the SPLM-IO itself hasn\u2019t yet set its own agenda and that is why it should not invite other opposition groups to participate in the conference. This will render the SPLM-IO an opposition group without viable agenda and reason to fighting the leadership of President Salva in Juba,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
