Gen. Wijang Duop, the spokesman of South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) forces said in Wau during the graduation of nearly 13,000 peace forces that the peace parties have resolved to graduate over 20,000 of the Necessary Unified Forces (NUF) in Malakal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis graduation (in Wau) is yet another development in our commitment to the full implementation of the security arrangement as provided for in the revitalized peace deal and next week, we will graduate about 20,000 of the Necessary Unified Forces for Greater Upper Nile region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The senior military official further revealed that preparations were already being made for the minister of defense Angelina Teny, and the presidential security Tut Gatluak Manimeh, to travel to Malakal for the graduation next week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we are talking to you in Western Bahr el Ghazal state\u2019s capital Wau, preparations are being made by the National Transitional Committee [led by General Tut Gatluak] for the Hon.
