Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s former army chief turned leader of the rebel South Sudan United Front (SSUF) denied welcoming the recent appointment of the deputy chief security.<\/p>\n

Kiir appointed on Wednesday brother-in-law Major General Gregory Deng Kuac Aduol, also known as Gregory Vissili, as the deputy director-general for the intelligence bureau at National Security Service.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Awan purportedly welcomed the assignment of the new deputy chief spy in a statement and described him as a \u201cgreat friend\u201d. \u201cI encourage you to go and make huge waves in your new position as you continue being the best at your work\u201d, reads the statement seen by the Sudans Post.<\/p>\n

However, he distanced himself from the press statement, saying it was the machination of people who wants to put the new officer into conflict with President Salva Kiir<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unfounded. It is not true. There is nothing like that. I did not write and send out any congratulatory message on the appointment of General Gregory,\u201d he told the Sudan Tribune on Sunday.<\/p>\n

People know he is a man of peace and has been trying his best all this along and is the reason some people have trying to sideline him from getting assignments like the new position because of our personal relations\u201d, he further stressed.<\/p>\n

Observers in Juba say Gregory\u2019s appointment could be a preparation to replace the incumbent head of the intelligence agency AKol Koor Kuc who had played a determinant role in Awan\u2019s sack in 2017 from his position as the army chief of staff.<\/p>\n

Kuc removal has always been one of the demands put forth by Awan to lay down arms and return home even if he is not given a position in the government.<\/p>\n
