Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b>The Director-General of the General Intelligence Services (GIS) of the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement\/Army in Opposition (SPLM\/SPLA-IO) Kitgwang, led by General Simon Gatwech Dual, has resigned over citing other commitments.<\/p>\n

In a statement extended to Sudans Post, Lieutenant General Samuel Mut Gai Dhap did not provide further details on his reasons for resigning but expressed happiness with the achievements made during his tenure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with great sadness that I must resign as Director General of GIS and a member of SPLA\/M (IO) KD with immediate effect,\u201d Dhap said in the statement dated October 24, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy other commitments have become too great for me to be able to fulfill the requirements of my position as Director General of General Intelligence Services and a member of the SPLA\/M IO KD. I feel it is best for me to make room for someone with the time and energy to devote to the task,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The senior opposition commander further said, \u201cit has been a pleasure being a part of SPLA\/M IO KD\u201d and also said he is \u201cproud of all we have accomplished in the past three years since the declaration of SPLA\/M IO KD. I have no doubt that SPLA\/M IO KD will continue to be successful in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dhap\u2019s resignation is the latest in a series of defections from Gatwech\u2019s faction, which split from the main armed opposition SPLM-IO under First Vice President Riek Machar in June 2021.<\/p>\n

In July last year, Gatwech\u2019s deputy, General Johnson Olony Thabo, announced his ouster. This year, Gatwech\u2019s chief of military staff, General Laraka Machar, also announced his ouster a week after being expelled by Gatwech.<\/p>\n

Laraka said the reason for removing Gatwech is because he was unilaterally taking decisions that were not compatible with the group\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n

Gatwech had accused Laraka of conspiring with \u201cenemies\u201d such as President Salva Kiir Mayardit, General Paul Malong Awan, and First Vice President Riek Machar before expelling him from the holdout opposition faction.<\/p>\n
