Gen. Lul Koang Ruai Koang, the primary objective of the verification exercise is to assess the current status of forces within their respective army formations. Additionally, the outcome of the exercise will play a crucial role in determining the deployment of the forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVerification has been completed in Greater Bahr el Ghazal, with three training centers covered, including Mapel and Masn Bira in Western Bahr el Ghazal, and Pantit in Northern Bahr el Ghazal,\u201d Gen. Ruai exclusively to Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday from the SSPDF Headquarters in Bilpham, Juba.<\/p>\n<p>He however said that the findings of the verification exercise are yet to be officially shared with the Joint Defense Board (JDB).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe findings for the verification exercise in that region are yet to be presented so I do not have details to share at this moment,\u201d Gen. Ruai added.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the SSPDF mouthpiece revealed that the verification process for the Greater Equatoria region is currently ongoing, while the commencement of the verification for Upper Nile is still pending.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the commencement of the second phase of training of the Necessary Unified Forces, Gen. Ruai said he was not certain when it would kick off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second phase will not start immediately because the results of the verifications need to be presented to the JDB which will then formulate their deployment strategies, and only after the forces are deployed can we initiate the second phase of training,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
