Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan United Front\/Army \u2013 Nairobi Declaration (SSUF\/A-ND) under the leadership of General Dickson Gatluak Jock Nyuot has denied allegations that its forces joined the armed opposition faction (SPLM-IO) led by First Vice President Riek Machar.<\/p>\n

Last week, the SPLA-IO fifth infantry division claimed that 476 SSUF fighters under the overall command of Brigadier General Tut Ruach Gith and his deputies arrived in Wangkuarbii area of Upper Nile State.<\/p>\n

SSUF\/A, in a statement issued on Friday last week, acknowledged the defection but said Ruach defected with only three officers during a visit to Juba last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the remainder of the forces at Nyoplew remain loyal and committed to the SSUF\/A-ND under the leadership of Major General Dickson Gatluak,\u201d it read.<\/p>\n

The group accused the SPLM-IO of facilitating defections during the peace implementation process, more than a year after it signed a declaration with the Juba government for integration of their forces into the South Sudan Peoples Defence Force (SSPDF).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe reaffirm our commitment to the to the provisions outlined in the January 28th, 2023 agreement with the Government of South Sudan,\u201d stressed the statement.<\/p>\n

The SSUF\/A-ND said it remains dedicated to the implementation of the September 2018 peace agreement with the Government of the Republic of South Sudan.<\/p>\n

The SSUF\/A-Nairobi Declaration was formed on January 28, 2023 in Kenya. The group is a break-away faction from SSUF\/A led by ex-army chief, Paul Malong Awan.<\/p>\n
